Big Fat Lies

What do you do when a person who you believe in starts a rumor or creates a lie about you that you know that you have never been a party to? Do you try and thrash it out with the person or let bygones be? Or ignore the person? Having been at the receiving end of this constant crap for a good part of my life I usually forget the nonsense and move on. Because let’s face it, a person who knows you both inside and out will never doubt you or create mindless gossip.

I know of a person who was at the receiving end of a stream of crap dished her way. From the time she was young until now she has had to fend off gossip and reason out with people. At times she even felt that the people closest to her did not believe in her. What was she supposed to do or what does she do? Don a different personality and change her course or destiny because of fake immature malicious liars or brave the never ending storm?

It does get rather difficult for people who are fall guys. They have been blindsided yet zeroed on so that they face flak for people’s unwillingness to accept them for who they are. Profound words perhaps but it does get a tad tiring having to explain all the time when you haven’t done anything wrong. But there are surly folk out there who do not bother to wag their tails and get the maximum mileage while dishing out offensive words. Don’t they realize that people have feelings? Or do they believe that their lies will never go unchecked? Told my friend this the other day that what goes around will ultimately come back around. And when you look at the stuff that mean people do, they think that they can get away with it. But no bad deed goes unpunished anyways because before they know it – smack they are dealt with a blow. But this time around the waterworks are clubbed with a ‘why me’ refrain. Well hello… ‘Tis your time to face the music pal, s’all! Just saying!

What say me dahlings???

In the Bloghouse

Pssssssssst I have a secret that I wanna share with you… I have been diagnosed with an illness called FIMS aka Foot In Mouth Syndrome. I’ve tried many times to get over this, with mind-over-matter techniques, herbal remedies and even self awareness classes online, but to no avail. Trying to soothe a friend who was dumped by some loser dude I listened to her rant and rave about his meanness for some time and then advised her with “forget him, there are many more fish in the sea.” Needless to say that was FIMS playing havoc again which nearly earned me a black eye! All she needed was some hand holding during this period and I advocated the “move on” mantra. Since this has proven time and again to be the bane of my existence, I have decided to do something and get this out of my system ASAP. The first step that I’m going to do is curb my enthusiasm about juicy news that I hear and refrain from spilling the beans to the person being gossiped about! Crappy feeling, but I have to tr...

Can You Chill Out with Your Mom? Can You Add Her To Your Facebook List of Friends?

Whoever said that you couldn’t be friends with your Mom is probably thinking old school mother. I am certainly no teenager, neither am I in my 20’s but getting closer to dotage (uh uh). Over the years, however, I noticed that my Mom was one of the coolest Mom’s in school, college, while I worked, in between relationships and when my marital cord snapped. Let me let on how cool she was and has been through the years. When I had my first crush – she was very disappointed, and rightly so, though at the time I was angry that my secret was out. Here was her youngest with a boyfriend, and in her teens! It was hard for her to digest this since none of the older siblings went down this road. When she found out, all hell broke loose, she screamed at me, stopped me from going out, but she also stood by me. The boyfriend went away as did the friends’ circle. She never left my side, and held me while I sobbed away because he was my one true love (at the time). Ah, the throes of the first dabble...

Doctor Hungry

I have been the route meeting with so many quacks that I am fatigued at the way some doctors/specialists don’t think twice about ripping patients off. Having said that however, I would like to point out that there are so many earnest doctors who go the mile and are an honor to their profession. This post is not about the earnest doctors, but the rip offs. Sometime ago I sought the professional expertise of a renowned specialist who had an entourage to handle her every whim and fancy. I paid to consult her but was tossed aside to meet her intern! Being ill and hazy, I had no say in the matter but this left me extremely annoyed that I had to stiff up a large bill… for what? With irate friends, colleagues and relatives who have been shortchanged by a few quacks, I have penned a couple of lines below… Doctors, physicians, radiologists, new life healers, and others we have met Treat us with disdain and mere guinea pets A pill here, blood transfusion there and scans everywhere Set...

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.

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...
