Immense Frustration



Our country that is noted for its beauty and splendor also has a bevy of problems to deal with. One of the foremost ‘runners’ in this race for a claim to fame is the garbage menace. No matter what we do there is hardly any let up to this ridiculousness. You call someone to handle the issue which may get addressed immediately but after a while apathy sets in and they forget to collect. Or they do and people still litter or urinate or defecate anywhere….

The other annoying issue is the problem with power outages, limited flow of electricity, a current problem or whatever you call it. No matter what you try to do to beat the issue by waking up early or doing things well into the night, there is no let up. A generator may be a solution to the problem but the issue is the noise and fuel to charge things up. The next best thing to do is opt for a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) device or inverter or battery back up to set things right. Unfortunately what is a total bummer here is the heavy duty equipment at home like the fridge, microwave, iron, geyser or the quintessential oven may tip the scale. Needless to say, if one would like to make use of these appliances it would require some rewiring or an increase in the load of the battery operated device. At the end of the day, it is literally each man for himself with a hope that someone in authority with wake up and smell the burnt offerings.

There are innumerable issues that can be illustrated to diss our framework but that is not the idea. The bone of disharmony is the lack of concern that quite literally stares us in the face with no possibility of a let up anywhere close. Let me relate a little incident – woke up early today to beat the power outage, got the cake mix going and bang the power went off (again). As I sit here and thump away waiting for some cheer in this festive season, all I can hear is the keyboard groaning with my fury (UPS to the rescue once again). Therefore, does the constant chant of ‘are we like this only’ going to be a constant or is there going to be any let up?

We debate across the board about which government would be ideal to tackle the woes, but seriously I don’t understand who is going to set things right. As a friend mentioned sometime ago – and I quote ‘give it up there is no point’ unquote. All that I can say is that we need people in office to literally get down to brass tacks right away coz this is extremely annoying to say the least. Agree with me dahlings?

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.
