The Clock Strikes

As the song goes 'If I Were a Boy' by the gifted singer Beyonce, I wonder what would happen if we could change into men for just one day (and vice versa of course). Wanting to get into the psyche of the male mind and rule I’m going to let my imagination go hay wire here.

Here goes....

At the stroke of midnight the change happens - the woman changes donning the cloak of her partner. Enjoy the spooning, wake up robust and raring to go, albeit groggily. Venture to the kitchen to have a look-see at the developments there by the significant other with a “what no coffee?” With that out of the way and a smirk in tow, get cracking with the newspapers that are waiting crisp and fresh. With a nod here a smile there, the spouse is never forgotten. Look at the time and realize that you need to brush your teeth and get the morning job out of the way. Once accomplished, you hope for some give here “how about some loving, hon?” - you have an hour to spare! Once spent and the adrenaline pumping, you hog the shower, sing tunelessly away and are raring to go.

You look in the closet and yell “my shirt needs ironing honey, can you get that done please?” With the loved one obliging and getting your lunch packed, you slap on the goodies and preen winking at yourself in the mirror while you walk across to the front door. Hug the spouse and return for a good smack and drive away!

Work is hectic with meetings galore, pitches, branding the usual. There are messages at the assistant's desk – three from home and another important one from an old group of friends who want to meet up for a drink after work. You call home feigning work pressure with the old “I'm doing this for us – love you, bhah bhah..."

Have a rollicking time with the buddies, notice a couple of PYT's checking you out and subtly flirt (you still love the spouse). A one night stander wants to hook up leaving you ruffled but flattered nonetheless. After some harmless flirting you excuse yourself - call home with the “will be back soon babes” spiel. The night has been good but you want to get back home. You smile getting it across that you don’t cheat. The wannabe’s miffed!

Drive home slowly and when you are in bed snuggle up for some quick action, if possible. Nah! Poor thing, “after a hard day’s work you treat me like this……I missed you today.”

The clock strikes....its midnight....

You wake up early in the morning with a nagging thought ....

“Hope I didn’t leave my glass slippers behind……”

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?

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...

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.

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...
