Over a Cup of Coffee

So having watched a couple of episodes of KWK (Koffee with Karan), must say this season is turning out to be rather interesting. The one that I enjoyed was with Sonam and Deepika. That was candidness at its best – they said it like it is. Way to go ladies! However, the it couple (Saifeena) were a tad tanda in their responses but they do make a lovely couple. Though from the papers today guess the response from another star is gonna bring on the cat war. All over a little cuppa that they don’t even sip! Guess we (the viewers) need our fill of time-pass too what with crime stories doing the rounds across most of the channels.

Got to catch the action in Big Boss house yesterday – man that Dolly is a character. Dunno if she was really ill or faking it. However, if she is sick hope she gets better coz being ill when your loved ones aren’t around is really scary. You must be wondering why I waste time on this reality stuff - what can I say but “time-pass yaar”! But when she was ousted (yeah I did catch a look-see) the place was pretty boring. Guess she does bring on the viewers and the TRP’s.

Masterchef with Akshay as the host is another lackluster show. Really wish they had a professional chef like MC Australia. Talking about this, I really get what Kareena said on KWK (though not about PC per se). I cannot understand why some of us dispense with our desi accents the minute we are in the company of a foreigner. Never hear any one of them dropping theirs!

Moving on…with Christmas drawing near and all of us in a tizzy about the new duds, I look around and see poverty all over the place. While some of us are so particular about the brands that we must have, there are so many out there who haven't had a basic meal or even a blanket to keep them warm in this freeze zone. Extremely sad……

Closing down here me lovelies with the hope that I can spread the cheer, bring warmth and a smile to everyone with no disparity whatsoever.

XoXo

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...

Beginning of the End?

A short story here... Just read and let me know what you think? I haven't concluded the story just going with the flow. The erratic nature of the power supply left the entire city in the lurch and this seemed to be a frequent occurrence. In spite of pleadings to curb global warming people paid no heed to the warnings and this brought about the swarm …. The beginning was when the entire country was wiped out in darkness and stampedes all over going on well into the night. Headlights of passing vehicles were the only source of light as generators were giving way because of the scarcity of fuel available. Every living being was being held hostage because of the “no power and no water” adage. No rainfall = less electricity = no water = no produce = malnutrition. The crops were in a mess, pets were getting crazed, and livestock was dropping dead by the minute. Drought was at an all time high. Neighboring countries pitched in, but this deluge was gaining momentum across cou...

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.

Water Woe

Here’s a problem about the water scene that’s plaguing our city with the authorities taking a lackadaisical attitude about our woeful situation. Guess privatization of this inactive force needs to be the hour of the day. What say? The heat at this time of the year in Feb is rather pinching and I really wonder what it’s gonna be like in the coming months. Here’s hoping that some rain will give us a breather and in consequence fill the reservoirs and enable the water man to actually attend to our ardent need. Moving on from the tale of gloom, with the onset of summer it’s time for the sleek and svelte to don the most happening items in vogue and show off their splendid bods. To the rest of us metabolically slow, we trudge the path of heat with the longing that this brand of ‘exercise’ (or lack of it) would shed the unwanted girth! Anyways, it’s a good time I guess both ways, coz everyone maybe a winner because..........the heat is on! ....... but not the ones with lack of water...

How Do I Say Goodbye

How Do I Say Goodbye?    You are God’s chosen one, watching me from above I wasn’t able to be with you during your most difficult time Mimi how I wish I can get back to that period when your illness was not prime What do I tell you, my sweet sister, except that I am shattered The last message you sent me was that you were coming back alive - that really mattered   This new normal is impossible to take I hold back tears and try to be strong, I feel so fake You know what I am going through, don’t you sweetheart? Coz you and I were never ever apart If I can just touch you for a mere minute the pain may disappear God knows best as I hold on to memories that are so dear You are my best friend, my confidant, my sparring partner Be free from pain darling girl, rest in peace I love you, and I always will
