My Super-Best Friend's Wedding

"Hey look there!"
"Its a bird"
"Its a plane"
"No..its a...."
" ... a CAR! "
That's his usual way of attracting attention. Hehe. Not really. Its more of a childhood problem.
Born and brought up in a family of intelligentsia and all nice people, he has grown up making road maps and plans on random sheets of paper, at random hours. Talking about railway routes from places in India, I din't know, existed. (Those maps at times haunt me nights together) *shivers* hehe. At the tender age of 3, this boy would by-heart the names of stations from the then Victoria Terminus - V.T (hell! i din even know the full form then), spend this precious childhood siting in the front seat of his car, a navigator by post - driver by actions. Yes, mimicking his driver, his favourite act that would save the day for him. His hero, the local electrician.
As years passed by, local routes nationalised. Transport systems became life support system. Papers with local road routes from home to school and such other places reached puberty and turned into state and national highway maps (the ones that existed to the ones that he planned to create-soon). So, as he passed the various inter-state and national routes in his mind, suddenly there was a *cling*
"What was that sound?"
"Its a ringtone"
"Its the school bell"
" No. Its a bulb shining bright on His head! "
Thats when "Chef Abhishek" was born. Ooops! You don't know his name. *Rewind sound*
'Thats Abhishek I am going to talk about. My Best Friend essays, never had his name.(that schooly thing of you-can't-have-a-boy-friend.) Ever since we started going to school, we just know each other. I know when he will laugh. He knows when i am going to sneeze. I know why he dances(sometimes i really wonder, Why?). He knows when I am going to puke (the scared fool i am).
So after school, we were separated because of our career choices. He almost got a heart attack as i declared I had chosen Arts as my faculty for my juniors. He was happy. I was, Super-Happy!

The saga continues. He is growing super normal by the day. His regular word diet includes engineering, electronics, computer, routes, roadways, RAILWAYS, stations, cars. Oh! i guess thins incident should say it all. Four friends, Sav, Morekuttan, Kulkarni and our very own Abhishek, once happened to see a *SUPER WOMAN* flying in the sky.
Sav: "Hey look there!"
Morekuttan: "Its a Bird"
Kulkarni: "Its a Plane"
Strayman: "No, its a.."
Abhishek: "its a CAR"
His obsession once turned so scary i almost dream of his marriage with a Honda Civic. *shivers*
Their kids, Chevrolet Spark and Swift go to reputed school, and like their dad, know each and every road map of India. Swift, the elder one, is also trying international routes, with the dream statement of his dad "I am proud of you!!!".

OVERCOMING THE SO-CALLED 'WRITER'S BLOCK ' Writing is a measure of emotional intelligence. Why would i say that? Maybe because the first-time writing experience din't last long enough. It was moving. It grew with time. & then faded away in the memory of glory. Where does it come from? True to the heart, even rubbish sentences & word salads sound great when they're penned down by deep-seeded need to explore the long lost aspects of the self. Its been 2 years I havnt written anything meaningful. Did something stop me? No. Dint anything motivate me? Countless things did. Then what went wrong? Its the process. Words flew around in circles & giant tornadoes. Sentences kept forming as words settled into their positions. An idea was born. However, it was soul less. Becoming who you are, finding the one thing you really like, and then the disturbing thoughts of having to let it go. Save the heart. Save the soul. Save the words.

Glass house and the Nerdy Dreamer.

Stop thinking. Will you ever do that, given the fact that someone asked you to do it? You’d probably ‘think’, and then ask that person, ‘…and do what? And what do I get in return, if it’s an experiment? And why me? …’ If you belong here, I shall tell you my story. Before that, are you one of those people, who get loved by others, and then are left to their own, only to know that they should wait for someone better in life, because they deserve better? Each one of us, we, 6 billion people on this earth, has a story. One that talks about us. One that is unique in more than one way. 6 billion stories that is. But do we ever think about it. No, no one really cares. No one does. I have my own work, my problems, my people, my dreams, my nightmares… Everyone has a story. I have one too. One that’s worth telling. One that’s worth listening. I am a girl of no problems. I live in my own little world I prefer calling … ‘the world’. And by that you guessed it right, I hate to think, be it naming m...

Shelf of unread books

'Where to mister?" she yelled at me from a distance, loud enough for everyone to notice.  "Hey, I'm not some kind of a thief, just looking around, grabbing a book to read. That's what they're meant for, right?" "Yea, if you pay for it!" "Of course, here." I paid for the stack of papers bound together in knots of tiny rounds, filled with words that were about to change my life. As I walked home, I was beaming with a sense of refreshment. I hadn't read a book in months, and calling myself an avid reader wasn't true anymore. It was a cold Saturday afternoon, and I was dreaming about a warm coffee in my balcony with my book. However, my footsteps had a different afternoon planned for me. "No, sir. Dalal Street is where I want to go. Could you help me?" I heard an unfamiliar accent from the corner of the street. "Seedha rasta hai" "What?" "It's straight from this turn, approximat...
