Can't do without U

One afternoon, misery stuck at the household. A dear member fell ill and had to be hospitalized immediately. We were told it would take two days for complete recovery as some of the vital organs had to be transplanted. Every hour seemed difficult and two days were impossible to pass by. For the first time, we realized the value of absence. For the world, it might be “the IDIOT BOX” but few can deny that life is not the same without a TV. The mornings became unusually calm without the loud sound of prayers to wake up to. The afternoons became duller without the saas-bahu serials and my nights became especially lengthier without the crime stories or who-dunnit –mysteries. We pledged to take better care of it. We decided to save it from the remote-torture of the young and the elderly. Give the TV its due respect and give it an extravagant space that it truly deserves. With nagging calls to the Technician which at times became bullying and if the separation became longer possibility of threats were not far by, we managed to get back our good-not-so-old TV. A sigh of relief finally breathed into the home. And perhaps the happiness could match to the feeling of welcoming a very dear yet long lost relative way back. Sudden, life stuck its normal chord. Life without TV is indeed harder, especially if you are used to living with the BOX that gives you a break (when you need it most).

I Do OR No, I don't

“Aww!! Not married yet?” “Are you seeing anyone?” “Gawd! No plans of settling down?” Some routine questions bombarded to you if you’re single. And if you know from where I am coming, then no matter how many figures you draw on your pay cheque, you will always be considered unsettled until you take the plunge. Men may come and go in your life but all that matters is to tie the knot with someone, doesn’t really matter whether you really are in a mood to share and care. And marriage is all that and much more. Sharing the room, wardrobe, bed and most importantly your loo; the thought is scary right? Makes me wonder did our mothers too have to go through this dilemma? Now, I am pretty sure that men too face the same uncertainty of ‘to be or not to be’. But the idea of ‘free sex’ all through their lives maybe quite a temptation to forgo…what say? While members of my tribe, with financial stability, is definitely on a double mind. After all doesn’t it get all tiring to make that extra cup of coffee/tea coming back from work? Picking up that damp towel from your favourite couch? Closing the lids of shampoo bottles, tooth paste, creams, body soaps or whatever after him? And the battle continues… Marriage isn’t everybody’s piece of cake and luckily, if you are smart enough to realize before the knot is tied tightly all round you, why doesn’t the society applaud you for your smartness? Maybe we are all too jealous to see others happy and free. Maybe we love thinking, “if I weren’t spared then why should she?”

Mouth Tightening Gel...mother of all solutions

Now, with a Vagina Tightening Gel that has hit the market, I wonder why can’t they invent a gel to keep those wagging mouths shut? They come in all genders (male and female), size and age. These mouths just need something to gossip, and they have an imagination of their own that could even beat some of the greatest authors. Just one lead and off they go, creating stories and more importantly telling stories about your good old life, so well crafted that it leaves you aghast at times. A certain girl in the neighbourhood was seen with a guy and it became a cause of national security. Local groups formed their very own RAW agents and started gathering more information. And before you know, a society meeting would be called wherein the parents will be summoned to caution them about their girl going astray. Complete strangers would have an opinion on the girl’s upbringing, Indian culture etc, etc. These very people wouldn’t think it is their business to save the girl from eve-teasing. Strange are the ways of our people, isn’t it? In another case, if a woman of a certain age decides to remain single out of choice or otherwise. Then a natural calamity strikes the rolling tongues that get desperate to probe into her personal life. Many people devote their personal time, free of cost, to dig about her past and present. Some generously predict her future too. Suddenly, her reluctance to get married becomes an issue of this world’s survival. While the woman in question has no qualms in enjoying her singledom and prefers to keep it like that. These very people wouldn’t leave their chance to make a pass at her, if their wives aren’t watching enough. Such is life, what say? Many more instances come to the mind and maybe penning them down wouldn’t be doing justice with all of them. Some tongues are so sharp that they can excruciate life from a depressed soul. Their criticism hits so hard that it hardens the otherwise brave ones from within. Do share if you can remember one. Because if a tight vagina can give you pleasure then hold on…a super loose mouth can give you pain, lots of it.

Welcome me back

It’s been more than a while since I wrote for the last time. Things have changed a lot in my life. Took me a while to catch my breath and re-start life especially when everything happened so soon, absolutely unplanned. This new journey has been quite eventful till now but it has just begun. I have miles to go before I rest, finally. But am back to write, old memories and new. Back to pen down that is important and otherwise. Back to share, my thoughts and yours. Wish me luck while I wish you lots of patience to bear my comeback…
