The Moony Girl

Have you ever felt lonely? Surrounded by people, their movement, their noises.. Have you ever found none to talk to? In a crowd of exchanged 'Hello's and 'Hi's.. Have you ever waited for a real evaluation? Shuffling through a list of comments and compliments.. Have you ever felt all the more alienated, unprobed, untouched? Scorching under those piercing, judgemental stares.. Have you ever found words meaningless? Further emptying the emptiness by their own vacuum.. Have you? Have you ever?

An emptiness plagues me It plagues me from the years   There is something I’m tired of An unseen weight my shoulders bear   There are some days I’m hale and happy Shining with the rising sun   Rest leave me feeling all lone and useless An extra being, the unwanted one   Sometimes weeks run by   Sometimes even minutes won't pass through   I laugh at the stupidity of human mind   All overwhelmed with the future it looks forward to (Just a passing feeling...)

Love is just like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaenge .. Though we know about half a dozen flaws, and a dozen practically impossible scenarios, still we continue going back to and enjoying it time and again… Love is getting fooled again and again, knowing the flaws and glitches, knowing that it may or may not last.. But still being there, trying to enjoy the magic of pheromonal magnetism, as long as it is there. Bah.. the stupid crazy destructive love.. (Dedicated to a destroyed friend - one way or the other :p  May you find your solace)

In a country like India, with one of the largest and most extensive railway networks in the world, there is no doubt that for the less gifted, who cannot bear the brunt of a super-expensive air ticket and are prone to travel sickness like the author (Yes I’m a narcissist and I know it for referencing to myself in the third person :p ), Railways is the only option. The Indian Railways come in all flavors from 1 st class to 3 rd class, 2-tier, 3-tier and now added to the list Gareeb Rath and other assortment of trains by our ever changing railway ministers trying to woo in the innocent junta by renaming and re-renaming the age-old trains. And just in case if it helps you feel the imagery of a situation I’m in, I’m sitting currently in an AC coach of the famous Shatabdi Express trying to link the cool AC breeze with the overcast dark rainy weather that I see through the window to my right side. Heavenly, right?! Yes I know. But the price to pay involves planning your trave...

Hi my eye-candies!! So whats up? Is it the cliche 'Same old, same old'? Believe me, it happens with all of us (yeah some of us do make exceptions, by being certified Bohos born wearing sneakers and carrying a travel backpack, or with a neon red mohawk, or a pierced tongue) but for the rest of us, "routine" is the Usain bolt, that manages to catch up with us how much we elude it. Like take   moi  for example (teeheehee).. Being a morning person, I get up at 0630 hrs, get fresh and fragrant to welcome the day, do my   Yoga /Belly Dance/ Bhangra   workouts and head to work at exact 0752 hrs for my work. Then, the breakfast till 0900 hrs, followed by gruesome work till 1230 hrs, followed by a lunch and a power nap till 1400 hrs. After that, its all about getting back to work, coming home, reading newspaper, cooking dinner and browsing randomly while eating, and finally going to sleep by 2300 hrs. Pretty boring and predictable yeah?! The weekends also a...

Has it ever happened to you that after a whole week of working like a dog (just a figure of speech though.. Never seen dogs working even as much as a laziest homo sapiens) and sleeping just 3-4 hours a night, when you finally land on your bed on a Friday evening, the sleep spell never seems to diminish, and the weekend ends up becoming a vicious cycle of sleeping and eating, until the evil Monday comes, reminding you of all the internet, electricity, water, house rent, society bills that demand that you go back to work dawdling along like a sloth (getting the image?! ;) ) Anyway, so the point of all this experience sharing is to rub upon the face of the whole scientific community, that you may keep on exhausting your brains trying to figure out the working of a brain (ooh! Ironic), but I have come up with a big discovery -   Human brains are just like the closet of a shopaholic girl*.  For those flaunting a lifelong membership of ISKCON (Thank God none can ban b...

Has it ever happened to you that you are so sleepy that you just can't shun the warmth of your cozy, soft bed, but you're so hungry at the same time that your bed might soon become your grave if you don't get up and grab something to eat?! :D Share with me you have faced such dilemmas, at least for once or twice, in your lives, lest this guilt of being the laziest person on earth kills me. On coming to a new city, after spending 21 yrs (yes it's a long period.. Please don't raise your brows till your hairline) of my life in the military discipline of my home, I've realized that I'm not as disciplined and active, as I used to give myself credit for. But I have a knack for surprising myself. It was the first obstacle race of my life today, and second sporting event (never been too sporty :| books are just so demanding and attractive at the same time (sorry if it reminds you of your high school girlfriend :p   'demanding and attractive' )...
