Bring down the Curtain.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts. "

William Shakespeare. 

Once in a while someone disagrees with something that Shakespeare says.
But I neither have strength nor the desire to disagree in this case.

If the world is a stage, then life is a play. A play that has more irony 
than anything Shakespeare has ever written. 

One ACT of the play is now over. 

Its time for another ACT to begin.

Time to say "Bring down the curtain!" 

This is the last post on my blog.

For those who liked it: All good things come to an end.
For those who didn't : Thank me for sparing you :)

Farewell! 

New Year Resolutions

"What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That's not been said a thousand times?"

An hour before midnight we lounge on the couch, distracted, tuning the best channels to watch New Year’s Eve fireworks, bursting with exuberance into the sky, circling the world. That exciting intangible something, witnessing global celebrations.
This is the illusion.

The ugly truth: We start our new years lazing on the couch, sending texts, watching stupid TV shows etc etc etc........ And some of us are so drunk that we don't even know when the clock struck 12.

Now just like every year I have a whole new set of resolutions. A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. Still I have given the list a fair amount of thought (probably much more than it deserves).
So, here I go...

1) To tolerate fools more gladly (provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.)
2) I resolve to stop complaining about everything. (unless something doesn't really piss me off)
3) Start smoking to lose weight (I am not fat!! Just a bit on the bulkier side)
4) No booze (in the afternoon)
5) No slang ( not unless its absolutely needed)

And last but MOST IMPORTANT

6) I promise to stick to these resolutions for more than a week :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012

Being Wishful

I really value our friendship ,
But you mean so much more.
Among a crowd of faces,
Yours is the one I adore.
If I had the divine power,
To make a small change,
Then us being together,
Is what I would arrange.
I can wait a life time,
Just to be with you,
Don't ask me the reason,

'Coz I am in love with you.

Hungry Shakespeare?

 To eat, or not to eat: that is the question:
Whether it is nobler to let  the tummy suffer
The bursts and pangs of irrepressible hunger,
Or to grab a snack to end all the trouble.
And to satisfy the hunger? To eat: to sleep;

Nostalgia

There were so many times,
When you were there for me,
Through darkness and despair,
You always stood beside me.
Days when we were together,
Through good times and bad,
Thinking about the past,
It makes me gloomy and sad.
The memories never fade,
As day after day passes by,
Remembering the golden days,
My eyes just want to cry.
I  miss those days when,
We would talk for hours on end
But above all these things,
I badly miss my best friend.

"Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with." 

Mark Twain

Nothing can be worse than the feeling of being all alone. The feeling of being lonely. This feeling originates from being in an idle state for long. As they say an idle mind is the devil's abode. This state of idleness creates a vacuum, a strange emptiness. Its like falling in an abyss, trapped inside your own mind.

So many words are left unspoken,

And a loving heart gets broken,

The eyes  shed rivers  of tears,

The rational mind gives in to fears.

Left all alone without a friend,

Waiting for the suffering to end.

The  worst nightmare: A picture of your best friends, with no place for you in the picture. The fear of being abandoned takes over.  It controls you, and distorts your perception. It magnifies your problems. As you watch the moments slipping away, others moving ahead, you feel jealous.

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.  No man is useless as long as he has one friend standing beside him. He'll believe in you even if you have stopped believing in yourself.

Life goes on. "ZENDAGI MIGZARA". The fragments of life are very semantic. You never know what to expect. If nothing is going your way you just have to wait. The wheels of fortune may turn anytime.

I wanted to kill Lizzie!

Now before you jump to any conclusions, let me make it clear that this is not some stupid murder mystery that I concocted. Lizzie refers to the lizard I killed. Rather I should say, I wanted to kill. I don't think any living creature disgusts me more than lizards. I don't know if it is because of the dirty yellow colour, or the bulging eyes,  or the crawly way in which it moves. I just despise them!!!!!

My dislike for lizards dates back to the time when I was at school. Back then I was an early riser. Anyone who knows me well will find it incredible. ME!! An early riser?? No way! A person who religiously follows Mr Owls sleeping habits could never have been an early riser. But incredible as it may sound its true, When I was at school I woke up with Mr Rooster's call. A few years later I found out that Mr Rooster tastes better than he sounds. So without discussing more about my eating or sleeping habits I'll continue talking about lizards.

I was in the habit of taking a bath early in the morning before leaving for school.  On a chilly December morning, after taking my routine bath I was lazing on the chair when the catastrophe occurred. POP! A lizard fell on my head! Nothing worst can happen to you on a cold day. I had to shampoo my hair. Hence I was in a cranky mood. I got dressed up for school and just as I was leaving another lizard jumped down. Thankfully, this time it didn't land on any part of my body, but still I got an urge to stamp it. Although I resisted the urge, but a feeling of enmity got rooted in my heart.During my college days the very sight of the creature bothered me. Every night before I went to sleep I made sure no lizard was lurking in the corners.

A while ago I was watching the Christian Bale and Gerrard Butler starrer "Reign of fire". A few minutes to the climax and a small lizard landed just beside my laptop. The disturbance angered me immensely and I decided it was time to teach little Lizzie a lesson. I fetched a long and thick register and smacked it with all my power. The little devil escaped alive but left behind it's tail. Autotomy! Strange how one can never remember these words in biology exams but they flash into your mind immediately when its no use.  I wanted to kill it but I wasn't going to pause the movie for the effort. Anyway, I believe a lost tail is punishment enough and decided not to look for Lizzie.
