At the edge of the table

I plead and pledge, save me! oh save me!

I'm out there at the edge , sharp as knife-edge.

Few inches from oblivion, like in front of a marksman

With loaded gun, a machine gun,

Filled with smoke, the room so hazy,

Ice cold and shivering, sweating profusely,

What lay beneath? Very dark and underneath?

A hand came from behind, shaky and shivery,

Clenched my body, tightly and unkindly,

He held me casually ,though not so stable,

Myself a glass of brandy, at the edge of the table.

How the glass turned pink ?

An empty glass,

Tall ,long and jolly fair,

Sat on a table, pretty and bare.

I poured some water ,

Pure and colorless,

Half full or half empty ?

I poured more water ,

From a larger beaker,

And rooh afza, two spoonfuls.

Two ice cubes,really not cubes,

Glass turned pink, reddish pink,

Colorful and sweating,

Just like me, out from the Sun

So much fun.

Wisdom , tooth and End of the world

Imagine a life without teeth, how will you bite into a fresh crisp reddish apple. The little juice that wriggles out of that shiny apple would never come close to the costliest apple juice in the world. What if there is no world at all ? Would you mind losing your teeth if there is not going to be a world around when you come back from your dentists air conditioned den ? That's why I don't like dentists , the same reason many of us don't like dentist. Just that you didn't know.

A friend, who recently suffered from oral problem, had something to say about extraction of his wisdom tooth. And more about the problems if the world ended sooner than it's supposed to be. (This is a mobile chat.)

My friend: Wisdom tooth extracted successfully..

Me : So the wise man has lost his wisdom.

My friend : Actually you become wise when you lose them.

Me : Nice try dude, but I expect a proof of concept when I want to believe something. And by the way do you mean that a guy with a wisdom tooth is not wise?

My friend : I was ignorant about tooth hygiene.It cost me two canals , one wisdom and I became wise. Add a whole month's salary to the list, I'm a lot wiser than you can imagine.

Me: A costly lesson. In that case money taught you to be wise, not the wisdom tooth.

My friend : I wish you lost yours too. That'd be fun, I'll welcome you to the gang of wise men without wisdom tooth. I'm going to start a community in FB.

Me: In your dreams, I've bought a new tooth brush, ayurvedic paste and a big bottle of green colgate plax. Thanks for your loss.

My friend : That won't help you, Nostradamus had predicted end of the world in 2012 and I predict that you would lose your wisdom tooth before that. You'd sit at home browsing about root canal and wisdom tooth just like what I did last weekend.

Me: Thanks for that assurance. You are the best well wisher I've ever come across. Now I know how you became wise, it's the internet. It's just natural that you have knowledge about teeth and problems, that doesn't mean you are wise.

My friend : Dude no more talks about teeth. It's so swollen. Life goes on, with or without wisdom and wisdom tooth.

Me: Until Nostradamus's day when the world would end.

My friend: Are you teasing me?

Me: If you think so.

My friend: Nostradamus has predicted that the world would end on day of peak solar activity.

Me: Nostru is a such a kind man that he's has to write it all down to frighten poor souls even after he died, it's just a publicity stunt to market himself.

My friend:I'm serious, The Sun would be in the centre of milky way , and the solar flares would weaken earth's magnetic fields.

Me: Magenetic poles get reversed, I've heard all of it. I don't believe any of them. I don't want to be scared.

My friend: No satelites, no mobiles ..

Me: You mean not even Vodafone 3G zoo zoo can save us?

My friend: Yes. Not even the Vodafone 3G zoo zoo. And if it's too severe we may lose the magnetic pull.

Me: Booh booh....

My friend: That's good. You have begun your journey to understand larger problems...

Me: Not really, I'm just worried that Ill have to die a virgin then.

My friend: Yeah...That thought did cross my mind. I guess Nostru could extend his deadline for some more time at least for this purpose.

Laziness, and other facts of Life

How I liked updating my blog! You bet , I liked it so much that I wanted to update every week, but my laziness got better of me. I like being lazy better than anything, is there a medicine that can solve this illness?

I've been thinking of doing stuffs, in fact imagining doing things in my mind and not doing them in reality. I feel so hearty thinking of finishing stuffs, the same feeling you get when you really do them. You know what a glass cold water can do to you when you come back after visiting an after noon Sun.

I'm kind of okay with that feeling though you end up not doing the thing you intended to do. You actually give yourself a chance to gratify later on by doing it in reality. Talk about delayed gratification. We do stuffs to make us feel good, and if one can feel good by just imagining completion of things that you wanted to do, why not feel better and don't take the time to do that thing at all. Saves a lot of time, is n't it?

For example, take the case of doing some exercise: Dreaming of doing exercise rather than doing it can be quite useful. I can do a 100 push ups instead of the paltry 15-20 that I can do on my fittest day, and you can sweat as much as you want without really sweating. I'm really going bonkers here !

I'm so lazy that I've been relaxing on the couch watching IPL on TV and imagining things that I want to do, rather I could do. Not the Everest hiking kind of things, the everyday things like going to super market, getting a glass of water from the kitchen during a MaXX mobile strategic time out. Hell with Cricket and IPL, I'm not going to watch the highlights from now on.
