Blame It On The Booze

The New Year began with a bang like every New Year, while the world partied and brought in 2018, I was snoring away to glory. Honestly, I wanted to stay up and fight the sleep, dance my cares away and generally get crazy. The problem was that the eyes needed rest, the body had a mind of its own and while my mind told me that I needed to up the ante, I gave into the 75% and what a rest it was, a real goodbye to 2017.

The rest of the day, however, was not as great as the sleep. I guzzled quite a potent mix of something that you may think is simple – a glass or two of wine. I guess I have been out of the boozing scene for a while, but this wine really hit me hard and I was out for the count. Managed to speak a bit but felt crazy sick and realized that while I love the taste of booze, this darn wine really did me in, and how!

I, therefore, vow never to get into an inebriated state, coz I felt so damn stupid and sick for the very first time in all of my um… many years. So, instead of trying to come up with resolutions for 2018, I am going to ditch anything that nauseates me. And that refers to … a good many things. When I recall them, I will dish them out for you guys.

That’s it for now, from me, and my weird personality. Have yourself a great year. Cheers (really?). And rock at what you do!

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...

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...

Stop Unecessary Forwards

Someone sends a forward expects us to send the same to another thereby spreading a message. What really gets to me is that the very people who send these informative, interesting articles or pictures are the same ones who do not practice their preach (forwards). Ahem! Though I love reading interesting articles, there are some mails that boast of creating some kind of wealth in your life if you spread the so called joy! Initially I was rather worried about all this but forward I did anyways sending it to ten people (or more) as the mail stipulated, because if I didn’t – then something bad would happen! Finally I called their bluff and stopped… life goes on with its ups and downs. There is a new touch to the forwards now - send it to ten or more people to show you care. Who assimilates some of these far-fetched stories anyways? Sure, interesting news is definitely food for thought and action even, but sending unnecessary spam and creating hype through crazed chain mails are dumb....

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
