Dr. Horror and other spiel

Spoke with a reader earlier today who enquired about my blog saying that she was waiting for some spiel from moi! Boy was I thrilled. Nice when this happens isn’t it especially when you are appreciated for your spill of thoughts.

This week has been a near miss for a friend of mine who met with an eye specialist - doctor horror really. Indicated that the poor thing had cataract and needed to be operated on for both the eyes and after a second and third opinion by other professionals that there was no trace whatsoever. Con artist or what?

The water situation (yeah the same old stuff again), is as usual a darn nuisance. The people in power just cannot seem to understand the need of the hour for the citizens. They sprout their usual promises prior to the vote and once they secure their seat, well they are flush! We of course, trudge the mile and ink our fingers with the hope that the new un’s will provide us with proper facilities. Blind faith! Frankly when I went over and voted this time around, I was rather hopeful that the new dude would do something, but I’m saddened to say that nah he too just ain’t doing the job. Sucks!

Heard from the grapevine (and so many here) that an old friend was in a soup because of a mismatch in his alliance! The astrological chart was not in the right planet I guess…poor bloke. Married some hot shot chick and realized that she was just that, hot and not worth the shot (no pun intended here my lovelies). All in all, they have succumbed to the divorce weapon. You think that a relationship will work out and then bang before you know it, kaput! The lawyers though are enjoying their fun in the sun cashing their cheques and dancing their way to the banks. Perhaps I need to consider changing my profession? The bank would be happy here, the size zero is bugging the manager!

To another sad story… Sandy was a dog that had the cutest face really. Frankly I’m not much of a dog lover and all that, but this one really got me. She was a neighbor’s dog, but couldn’t stay put; she was always jumping the fence to get out and make friends with both species: human and dog! So much so, that all of us in the neighborhood took it on ourselves to feed her. In such a cruel twist of fate, we heard a while ago that a monster drove over her and she passed away. Thanks Sandy for being there for all of us, looking after us and being the perfect pet. There are many of your friends who are trying to fill into your shoes but not a patch on you!

Mango season… Wow this fruit brings a smile on everyone’s face and some boils too. With the many varieties around the corner all one can do us succumb to the pleasures of this beautiful fruit. Yeah it does give us the runs and all that, but frankly whose complaining. A great weight gainer too, but then again, whose complaining. We gorge, grib about the weight gain, and hog more. I haven’t really met anyone who hasn’t succumbed to this beautiful, yummy fruit. If you haven’t, believe me, you are missing something. Go out there and try it if you can, and believe me, chocolate for a while may just take a beating. Sex too! Ha ha ha. Kidding!

Ok am kinda on a dry spell here, so will call it quits for now. See you soon my lovelies. Same page same blog sometime soon. Or if you want a change, check out the cookery one – http://yaschusrecipes.wordpress.com and try some recipes that I have shared there. Comment on this as well if you want.

It Is Election Time - No Chance of Watching A Rerun For Sure

Just another day in the life of an average person who wants to watch a rerun of Friends but has to make do while flipping from NDTV, Tiranga, India Today, Times Now, Mirror Now, and the rest. I live in hope that I can watch my reruns again! Will have to wait for the 23rd! Okay, I get it, watching television is not everyone’s cuppa today, though many of us mere mortals still turn on the television to watch a program or the other, especially the news, at this point of time, with elections going full gusto. In my life, while I would love to watch reruns of old comedies, Mum watches the news. When I asked her the other day, why not watch WWF instead - I explained that it is way cooler than the mudslinging, she looked at me as if I had lost my mind. What can I say, Mother I replied. My thoughts were, aren’t we slowly losing the plot while getting drawn into debates? I avoided saying anything more, or I would have been drawn into a debate! We are gripped into this frenzy based on rhe

Remote Rehab Watchers

What really annoys the sibling, are the soaps and serials I’m hooked onto. She’s like ‘why can’t you watch something informative instead of the usual jazz’ that I (supposedly) watch. What can I say - I’m a couch potato and love the title. She waits for a while and once she notices I am away from the remote she pounces and grabs it. I was too slow for that one! I hate this situation. Makes me feel so helpless, but I have to stay put otherwise you know the drill. She’ll fight and I will retort and cold shoulder treatment for a while. The poor sucker (the remote here) will have to face the wrath. I placate myself with the ‘anyway we have another television’ so I rush towards it and see the remote in the hands of the other sibling. I never win! But I have a new idea I will hide the remotes so that they don’t put me in this situation ever again. I wait for a suitable opportunity and hide them only feel two pairs of eyes watching me (like hawks). Why people are so sexist with the

Will We Change?

The tears, sorrow and pain on His face we ignore Pretense with - that’s a picture, are you so sure? Nonchalance is the stand that we take When will we change and stop this act of fake? He was born to a simple innocent virgin called Mary And His foster father Joseph a poor carpenter Something that we could never ever do It is so difficult because we so love this zoo! At the chosen time when he gathered His disciples together to join Him By His example they embraced His commandment When questioned about this by the learned many He simply replied 'love one another' is the best of plenty. Joining the people, scholars and clergy at a general place He taught them simple parables many did not embrace The idea was to get Him out of the way To pave a road to riches and make their day. They plotted and planned and chose the easiest betrayer Who kissed Jesus his Master, The Savior Thirty pieces of silver was their solution The end result a conscience - a rope so in

Cheating

Why do people throw good relationships for a quick roll in the hay? This practice seems to be growing and practically every second person in a committed relationship doesn’t think twice about two timing his/her partner. However, when they are “found out” these individuals don’t think twice about promising the moon and once forgiven you can be pretty sure that they are gonna do (sic) the deed again and again. I think that once they go the entire hog, they just aren’t gonna curb their enthusiasm! Cheaters know their partners will relent no matter what. They preen themselves with having “won”! However, if a person cheats on me, I would tell the jerk to beat it. Rather be single, keep your dignity intact than stick with some douche bag. Not my cuppa … What about you my lovelies?

Narrow Path

When I look at your arms on the cross stretched wide Your eyes filled with love encouraging us to drop the divide But no matter which way we trudge You love everyone without even the slightest grudge. Temptations all around enticing us with its wares How do we ignore these pangs and stop its glares? Many ridicule us because of the road we follow Help us set an example and travel the path of straight and narrow.
