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……”

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

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.

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?
