Durga's Random Thoughts.

Yesterday, I said no to an outing cos I didnt know what to wear. [Now that, is a first time for me. I usually just wear something and go. And I didnt know I was doing it, until I had done it.] I bargained. I mean like real well. This time I even sounded like dad. Usually if I have money, I dont bargain. I saw a film of a Malayalam 'superstar' and actually liked it. That was one of the films after he gained weight like an elephant. Dad didnt scold me when the Internet bill came. [Obvious reasons. :D ] And I have started to take note of the conversations I have with people. Not just blabber away and forget it. :) Life has changed a bit.. :)

Lemme know what ya think! DN

Usually we do the 'Be the Roman in Rome' thing and decide if the society thinks it is good, it is and do it. Although it helps getting along with people, I think it is lame in one way. You like what you like. 1. I see people making mayhem over Monalisa . I dont understand what all the hullabaloo is all about. I dont think she has a smile or sadness on her face. I think its just a fat gal with no eyebrows! [You never noticed that before. Did you? :D  ] She is toooo fat if you ask me. I bet the model died of obesity related reasons soon after the painting. And the veil thingy he tried, I dont think it looks any good to me. Tell you what? Now, This is something that impresses me. But of course, we believe what the west says is good, is good! Pathetic! 2. I dont think Aishwarya Rai looks any good! Sushmita Sen does! Aishwarya looked good initially, I admit. But the hype even now? I dont get it. Just watch the stupid ad for " Longines "[Prima Luna]. The ...

There are some books that I wish I could read again. Why? Why cos, I wish I had the patience to go through the book again and take every line I hated in there and criticize it. Why do they name hurricanes with gals' names? - I ask. "To catch the fishermen's attention" - He replies! Two incidents a friend shared.. [He is not working in Kerala FYI!] 1. "Once I was talking to a mallu frnd of mine on phone.. About going for a movie.. He was asking about some timings and I was asking him everytime " athinu pono, atho vere pono ?" Sometime later after the call, my colleague behind asked "You keep talking about porno all the time.. Dont you? 2. Another phone call oveheard from his cabin.. "Sir I cant find it under the shelf.." "Where sir, I cant hear you!" "Sorry sir, under the desk you mean?" "Sorry sir, under where , under where sir?" [Ok, ^ that one, needs to be heard to be understood. Imagin...

You meet some people in this life. Then they go on, make you get used to them.. They manage to become the world for you.. And then ... ... they have to walk away.  They are leaving ...   ... to prepare to receive you, in the next birth. To take time and learn to become better for you. To be the best for you... God's plans never go wrong ...

[One day...] Oh! the OTHER sick!! I had to tell someone who misunderstood the 'ill-sick' or 'not well-sick' to be the 'feel bad-sick'. :| I say I am sick and tada, the bad me is out of the sack. [Ok not like I am perfect at other times. But sometimes I can be horrible.] Day before yesterday, a sudden chill runs through my spine and I find it verrry unusual. Does it stop with the chill? No! From there, I get these tired limbs, creaky and painful joints and lightheadedness and this feeling that I might never be able to walk using my limbs again. The fever plays its own game, peekaboo. Spirits really run low. Just mine. Initially I just try thinking I am imagining stuff. When I could stand up no more without support, I know I am going down now. And I hit bed. When the chill comes, I switch the fan off. And when it goes away, I start sweating. And the worst part was, I could not move. Moving ached. Out of the blue! You know, I had not gone into the rain, no ...

For me, there is only one person who has to approve me. And that is Me.

The red of my sky, the green of my garden, brings me hope, of a new day, the new dawn. Beholden my friend, -we all are- For this another chance, for the better, perchance. The grass seemed greener, the horizon closer, But the land never met skies, even on the other side. Refrain my friend, -we all should- For this land, is our own mother's hand. Building ties, cessation of cries, in no way surpassed the insecure past. So, hold back my friend, -you too must- For you never know what will stab your back.

I have shadows everywhere, I thought they basked in my glory. But it was the sun. And I lost all the fun.

Today, I was browsing through Alcoholics Anonymous online, when I dropped into a gay support group site. Neither am I an alcoholic, nor a gay. My curiosity was aroused as I read some incidents they shared and I went from link to link reading about how life is for people who are gay and can not get support from their dear and near cos it is a taboo in our country. At least according to what today's society has decided for us. A person can follow any religion he wants, or stay an atheist. Nobody finds that 'sick'. But being gay is not something people can come out with and still be social. I mean, you cant help being a gal. You cant help being a guy. It is kinda the same, you cant help being gay I guess. You can dress up like a guy if you are a gal and like a gal if you are a guy but you ultimately remain whatever you are. Nobody finds that sick. When my friends read this, they might as well freak out wondering what is with this gal. But it is just that I feel they have t...

When was the last time I wrote about mobiles? Well, if I remember correctly, it must be when my mob 'died' the last time. I lost my appetite and sat around staring at it for a long time. And tried everything to make it come alive. And it did. 6th year running, this mobile has been one of those things -very rare I must add- that saw me through a lot. I will spare you the emo-saga. That mobile knew how to keep me engaged most of the time. Or whenever I needed to be. In these 6 years, my mob had just one technical problem [some IC had stopped working, whatever an IC is.] . And I had to run from store to store just so I could get it serviced. I would not say repaired cos there are some things that are repaired. More regal ones, serviced. This was regal. Loyal. Awesome. And then, the switching offs that it frequently staged when I was out of order. Call it coincidence if you wish. But I think it knew my heart. Like many other things I use, this one had this i-donno-what-its-c...
