And my blog has been called "dumb". By a friend who thinks its high time I give up.
As told recently in a conversation between friends, two of my friends have got jobs in the same company under the same boss and they apparently are yelling at each other because apparently P is saying "Thank you" when S had slaved over the solution and vice versa.
In other news, I have recently been thinking about dirty Bengali swear words. And a friend has been trying to teach some of them to non-bongs who just does not do it right.
And well, there has been an incident where a friend of mine apparently propelled a car with her puke. This means, she helped speed up the car by retching up a storm of slime from her gullet.
And oh, I have been thinking of going to Delhi in this heat.
The Grandmother thinks my blog picture is scary. I don't agree however.
Yes, well, never thought my blog was very smart, either.
A Liar's Guide to the Dreams..
In the dead of the night, the dreams come in one by one. They cling to you with soft acceptance, and they know it all..
These are the dreams which leave a note of remembrance. They cling to our tongues like a bittersweet delight.
They feel familiar, though their flavour melts in the mouth... and taste distinctly unusual.

There are in my blog plenty of posts on friends.
There are a few about family.
Today there's going to be one where I can tell you that I am blessed with a family of my own choosing.
Somehow as this dark night slowly dawns to this day I would like to tell you how beautiful the moments are when you know you are among people who will look at you, find and point out all the problems you have, and then, say... "So What?" to all of them and love you no matter what you are.
Once, I used to be in constant feat that I was the outsider. But these amazing people brought me in. And made me feel a warm touch somewhere near the core of what I am. It happens when someone just casually says... "You can't go to Europe, you'll have to come to America because we're all there and we're together. The three of us." And its there when someone scolds your head off saying..."Uff how random are you!" and at the same breath utter... "Never be anything else... I love you.". And then there are times when someone gives you the tightest hug in the world that threaten to crush your bones and say "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." And the times when you're on the other side of the phone jumping because I've got something I need.
I love my family. I love them. They're what I want to have.

Well I have been planning this
Apart from the mass hysteria posts and the "I'm upset" posts and random tags, I have been basically sitting on my bum doing nothing ever since I quit my job. I don't like the politics, and unlike certain people, would rather leave than compromise. I have an issue with attitude and ego-talk, and sexual discrimination, and I prefer moving in safe (read unemployed) waters. People might say I am talking tosh, but well, they are allowed their opinions.
Some times I wonder what this whole shebang is. I mean, I come here, take a deep breath, and begin, and go away, letting that deep breath go. All the miracles of birth I guess. Can I please pause to review what have I been up to?
*Pause. Inspect. Done*
Okay. A lot. I am preening now.

It hurts at first.
But then you learn to dull it. After a while it dulls. And then it slowly goes numb.
But it comes when you are weak and at your most vulnerable, and it shakes you up, pounds your senses so hard that you writhe in the pain.
And then it slowly dulls again.
You can't really tuck it in a corner and forget it. Its always there. Even in a meaningless dream.

Movied Life.
Got this off Spanish Goth.
So here are the rules:-
IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie. Though I know everyone will cheat.
Opening Credits:
Help I'm A Rock - Zappa (Would someone delete all the Zappa songs from my playlist? Pretty please? This is like the beginning of a sarcasm-parade!!)
Waking Up:
Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-a-lot (Okay I can see this movie becoming a porn)
First Day At School:
Gia Farrell - Hit Me Up (Tap-dancing."Cant you see me walking through the door?" Yep. This is going to be a porn. I can see it)
Making Your New Best Friend:
Fall Our Boy - Thanks for the Memories (so my new best friends are monkeys)
Falling In Love:
Cranberries - Zombie (I mean... Hello!! Whats in your Head?)
Breaking Up:
Juelz Santana - There it go (the Whistle song) (Cheez Whiz!!)
Prom:
Rock and roll Soniye - Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (Very apt. I will dance to that.)
Graduation:
Avril Lavigne - Complicated (Cause you fall and you crawl?? NO! NO! NO!)
Life's Okay:
Bananarama - Venus (Yes, again this movie is going towards porn)
Death of a Close Friend:
REM - Everybody Hurts (Freaky. But true.)
Mental Breakdown:
Fat Boy Slim - Yamama (TOTALLY!! This Will be My Song if I ever have a breakdown)
Driving:
Elvis Presley - A little Less Conversation (Feat. JXL)
Flashback:
Sting - Brand New Day (WHOA FREAKY!!!)
Getting Back Together:
Jay-Z - 99 problems (but a bitch ain't none)
Wedding Scene:
Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust
Birth of Child:
Bally Sagoo - Gur Nalon Ishq Mitha (I can't believe I have that song)
Car Accident:
Gwen Stefanie - What you waiting for?
Final Battle
Will Smith - Getting Jiggy With It (Again, the final moral of the story will probably exude porn)
Death Scene:
Monty Python - I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Funeral Song:
Westlife - World of our Own (eki!!)
End Credits:
Queen - Its a kind of Magic (I think to make this flick soundtrack work it will take magic.)
For anyone who cared to see this... I think my life is brilliant.

I love my friends enough to take bullcrap from them. Even when it means I cannot tell someone what a completely supercilious twit he/she is, giving me the holier-than-thou act. Somehow I sense this deep sense of total insecurity in him/her that says that he/she is so unhappy to make his/her choice of path in life that he/she has to put up this front to think he/she is happy.
I feel sorry and that's why I let him/her get away with all that he/she says about me. Which is not nice, so as to tell.
Shows I have a holier-than-thou fixation too.

I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You
I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.
I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.
Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.
In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.

These fragments I have shored against my ruins...
"Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded
I do not know whether a man or a woman
—But who is that on the other side of you?"
---------------Eliot.
I follow the light and darkness is never further from me. I live my life like a lovesick clown in a bittersweet cartoon. I merge myself in the darkened alleys where I search for sudden piercing screams that fragments the silence that now chillingly wraps itself around my soul.
And I ask myself what I have become. And I constantly feel the dread and the despair which folds my self up with this haze of pain and forgetfulness.
And all I need is to be free.

Well....
I get by with a little help from my friends.
It seems hard but I know that I won't be getting this set of friends who roam around in my mind all the time. I will miss them like hell when I stop looking after them, but life is not about making regrets. Its all about making these little memories... which cling like a silver foil, etching and beautifying.
I suddenly know that I am all right now. I may be a lot of things. But these moments... these memories keep me on. People will leave, but they will leave me with the memory that I will have of them. And in this fleeting life of mine that does not even matter mostly I shall have this... and I don't want any more right now.

Of Instilled Ideas
Some people are biased. Some people possess ideas. A friend of mine holds knowledge to be the ultimate key to find happiness. Another believes that intelligence is the best way to assess a human being.
I would like to take this opportunity to let people know that I have been familiar with extremely intelligent people, and have realized they are just as gullible and stupid as those who decided that intelligence was not their forte.
In some places, I have been called rough, crude and vulgar. In some other, stupid has been the order of my day. But I like the term obtuse. I like it because it can lead into so many different conclusions.
While I do not like passing judgments right and left, I do believe that some people make friends with the "Right", the "Intelligent", the "Cool" and the "Happening" and they refuse to see people who does not go with their formed opinions. I have met people who have judged (among others) me and dismissed, and I have taken real pleasure in making them re-analyze and revise their opinion about me. Gives me a perverse pleasure to see people who at first glance would turn away, turn back and smile or even hold their houses open for me to enter.
Somehow this is turning into a slightly bitter post. Its just that, I really hate people who boxes others up into tiny slots based on their race, sex, nationality, individuality, personality and colour.

Typecasts
Or people who are put in boxes.
So someone told me over lemon tarts last night. Black beans are supposed to be good for your health and eating a lean chicken breast everyday will decrease your weight. All this and more I learnt.
Andro called and we were going over the last months between the two of us. Somehow, these last months have flown by and I am officially in the fourth month of my work and have missed work for god knows how long but its okay because I am depressed anyway and its been a long day for me for quite some time now.
But what I realized was she's not changed a bit. But perhaps I have. I have changed myself and its been a continuous process for a while now. Its probably me growing up.
* * *
Someone asked me "Why are you not married?"
I answered, "Because I have found people I can live with, but no one I can live without."
It was an old quote. But I believe in it.
* * *
Randomness is perhaps the order of the day. Sometimes I wonder why is it so important to make things last and stretch beyond their limits. I was so angry a few days ago. I wrote a letter about it to friends, and I am putting up bits of it.
I watched as a guy threw his wife of 5 years out of the house while his girlfriend watched with a little smile on her face. And I had to talk to that frightened, hysterical, pathetic (yes, and i know its true, so there!) woman who took shelter with us for the night. My mother was thankfully not home. I hope this guy dies a most remarkable death one day, slowly and steadily, knowing every moment he is going to, and frightened of it. I can't think of a worse fate for him and i don't think i want to sully my thoughts by thinking of killing this fat, ugly monster. I do not care what she was to him or why he did what he did... but no woman deserves this. No Human Being to be precise.
But Do you know what she wanted? She wanted to beg her husband to come back to her. She could not believe that he was doing this to her but she wanted to beg to stay in that house, irrespective of the mistress. I was SO THANKFUL they do not have kids.
I somehow now feel quite detached about the whole incident. It has ceased to affect me. Now.

Elope with me Miss Private...
And then Chucky gave me a song that went around my head like crumbed chicken in a big vatful of lard. I have been fantasizing about KFC and its not good. I have been also fantasizing about big packets of sinful rich Valhrona which is kept with the Mother while she waits for me to get well from my sickness.
Damn it, I wish I was better already!

In Search of Protection
So a certain Someone told me... Girls should be liberated enough to be protected themselves, and therefore find and get protection whenever required.
"Okay then " I said. "Lets Go."
This certain Someone walked with me tonight to find it.
Here beginneth the epic tale of Panu's Quest for the Divine Protection:
So off we went... me and my friend...
Not in the locality. That was too obvious.
So we went to anonymity.
Episode One:
Pantaloons.
Goddamit!! S said.... they have sanitary napkins but I can't bleeding find them!!
"Thats because you are looking at the cookie section."
"I swear I found them here the last time."
"You never came here before!! You said that!"
"I did at Big Bazaar! They had!"
"Fine!!"
No go. Food, tissues, detergents, pencil-rubber... every section was meticulously looked into. No protection.
Disgusted and annoyed, I approached the sales lady. She was equally clueless, and her mortified pink cheeks were festoons of our temporary withdrawal.
Episode Two:
Jeevan
Jeevan. Ah the Portal of Trusted Life. Bring me the Protection!!
We walked with happiness as the light poured forth from the wide doors. I approached cautiously, with S at my heels.
And there were Old Men.
And there were Middle Aged Women with Shawls and Glasses.
I walked away with S. The Portal of Life was closed to us.
Episode Three
The UNKNOWN STORE
Disheartened, I moved with S to the grounds where she would find a chariot home.
We walked and we walked down the empty road.
And then we heard footsteps.
Men approached.
"Whatta Bum man!"
And my Great Rage began to build up. So did my Determination. I was going to be Protected or Else!!
And then.... Then There was the Store.
Episode Four:
The Purchase
We walked to The Store. There was a Young Boy trying to buy a Cure for Cold. And we waited patiently till we were served.
And we demanded for Whisper.
And then delicately put forth our need.
And met with Perplexity.
The man stared at us and said...
" I am sorry. We do not have that brand."
Nooooooooooooo!!
To be brought this far... and Spurned!!
We were Disheartened. Our Goal seemed Far away. Far Far away.
And then the man said... "However, we do have Something Else!!"
So we made The Purchase. And we were given a concession for our efforts.
And the man Looked as we were Shielded.
And then We truimphantly went Home.
Episode Five:
The Aftermath
Now that we were well protected, we let the story unto others. Women of all times, hear our plight and Protect Thyself. For in Protection you can Rely. And in Protection you can Prevent.
And here endeth our Heroic Tale.
"Okay then " I said. "Lets Go."
This certain Someone walked with me tonight to find it.

"You never came here before!! You said that!"
"I did at Big Bazaar! They had!"
"Fine!!"
No go. Food, tissues, detergents, pencil-rubber... every section was meticulously looked into. No protection.
Disgusted and annoyed, I approached the sales lady. She was equally clueless, and her mortified pink cheeks were festoons of our temporary withdrawal.
Episode Two:
Jeevan
Jeevan. Ah the Portal of Trusted Life. Bring me the Protection!!
We walked with happiness as the light poured forth from the wide doors. I approached cautiously, with S at my heels.
And there were Old Men.
And there were Middle Aged Women with Shawls and Glasses.
I walked away with S. The Portal of Life was closed to us.
Episode Three
The UNKNOWN STORE
Disheartened, I moved with S to the grounds where she would find a chariot home.
We walked and we walked down the empty road.
And then we heard footsteps.
Men approached.
"Whatta Bum man!"
And my Great Rage began to build up. So did my Determination. I was going to be Protected or Else!!
And then.... Then There was the Store.
Episode Four:
The Purchase
We walked to The Store. There was a Young Boy trying to buy a Cure for Cold. And we waited patiently till we were served.
And we demanded for Whisper.
And then delicately put forth our need.
And met with Perplexity.
The man stared at us and said...
" I am sorry. We do not have that brand."
Nooooooooooooo!!
To be brought this far... and Spurned!!
We were Disheartened. Our Goal seemed Far away. Far Far away.
And then the man said... "However, we do have Something Else!!"
So we made The Purchase. And we were given a concession for our efforts.
And the man Looked as we were Shielded.
And then We truimphantly went Home.
Episode Five:
The Aftermath
Now that we were well protected, we let the story unto others. Women of all times, hear our plight and Protect Thyself. For in Protection you can Rely. And in Protection you can Prevent.
And here endeth our Heroic Tale.

A Letter
Dear Mandy,
I don't really know how to tell you this, but the mafia wants you . I think I realized it when we skinny dipped in your closet and I saw you pull the clothes off Bill Clinton. I'm sure you're Cowardly enough to understand that your pimples are at the last stage. I'm returning the cut toenails to you, but I'll keep my common sense as a memory. You should also know that I always wanted to break the apartment building.
Good luck on your short-term leave from jail
