Wait the fuck up!

for a brief moment of clarity in jumbled space...

there lights in the box, a convincing path through the maze.

a path that instructs the mundane.

no twisted dissembling or ideas profane.

no - not even the overdrove path of Desire,

for the Light shines at it’s end only like the tip of a pyre.

in the Visible, I see the solution

an anticlimactic version of pure reason.

Yet, as the box spins - devoid now of clear air,

I shout, ‘Wait the fuck up’, in severe despair!

Nano,Petro,Traffic... You get the idea?

Yes one preach-max post.But seriously guys read it and consider it. Hoping comments follow. The recent hike in petrol prices would have come as a big blow for most people.It sure will leave a huge hole in every pocket. I dont follow the oil economy or the inflation-fighting steps taken by the government but what I do realize is one thing.There sure is an upside to this. Ok before you jump and try reading the last para to see the tone and proceed to comment, let me assure you .I would be as happy as anybody else if prices of so many things fell.What I want you to do is understand a little observation I made. Usually, when I have some place to go in namma Bengalooru ,there would be ideally 2 choices - the bus or my own transport (ideally because the LL is still in the waiting :( . ). I am quite sure this thought process goes on in most peoples minds.They would think about the availability of buses to that place and their regularity.They would then find out the distance they would be ...

Yesterday

Kaalia the crow,Suppandi,Tantri The Mantri,Kapish and the other Tinkle characters. Math 100 page homeworks. Mom getting my shoes polished and ready. Trying to be tall enough to unbolt the door. Fist Blow exchanges with sis. Mickey-Mouse tiffin boxes and Donald Duck water bottles. Just 'half' a ticket for a bus ride. Forming circles on the playground for lunch. Bated breath to catch the 2 second 'car scene' involving Drew Barrimore in Charlie's Angels. Little Classroom Crushes. Horrendous Hindi Dohas. Enid-Blyton Adventures. 'Just Mohabbat' on Sony. Frantic 'chalkifying' the white canvas shoes. Rubberbands to hold socks up during inspections. 'Kings' with napkin-ball after lunch. 4-in-1 family rides on our very own 'Allwyn Pushpak'. Geography Map completions. Tazos and Trump Cards and tattoos and what not! Badge Fight with classmates. 'Son-Pari' on Star Plus. The cursive-Handwriting improvement nightmare. Pad-Cricket after Exam...

Kyunki...

No matter how many times they have featured on 'Things I Hate The Most' on Slam-Books and personality questionnaires, I have always been awed by the rich variety of 'saas-bahu' teleserials aired during prime-time. Why? Here is ,in no way an exhaustive list of their achievements( Due to obvious reasons I consider all the saas-bahu dramas to be a single identity) : The net worth of the jewellery in one scene overtakes the GDP of Eritrea. The costumes worn by a single person on one show beats the lifetime wardrobe of an average, sane mortal. The Bindis of a lucky select compete in size with Kosovo. The only set-up , fiction,non-fiction or whatever, where an older person plays the daughter if not grand-daughter of the younger one. The wiliness of the average bahu puts to shame even the most dangerous KGB spy. The make-up used for one complete episode can 'decolorize' entire Africa. The only family probably in the history of time to have 8 generations in one ...
