Unkept promises

I’ll call you.
The call never came.

I’ll do it.
It never was.

I won’t tell anyone.
Lol.

I’ll keep in touch.
The phrase was redefined.

I won’t do it.
It was done.

This is the last time.
Liar.

I will.
But only if you will, sweetheart.

I trust you.
Trust?

I have faith in you.
Faith?

I promise…
Don’t utter that word.

 

Sometimes… Is it worth it? Is it worth…

 

And then with dewey eyes I glance at my love, and He has that smile. All knowing. Or rather ‘I know something you don’t know, son! ;) ’ smile. Or a ‘Lets see best buddy! Live, and then we’ll see.’ smile. Or a ‘did you reaaallly have to do that? Sigh… Never mind…’ smile.

And when I glance at that smile, that face, those graceful arms, that loving caress on the one behind you, then I fall in love all over again. I realise, I believe, I don’t want anything else. I comprehend what Poonthanam meant. I realise what he realised.

And then I cry. And then, I love you, again. Truly, madly, deeply. Beyond words. And then I smile…

You know what? You’re the only person in my life who has made me smile… A smile that touches my eyes through my heart. You’re the only person who has wiped away my tears. You were always the only one. But you know that…

I touch you. I touch your feet. I touch the being behind. And then I sleep. All the promises unkept, but still, knowing that you are there. Believing that you will take care. Trusting you. Having faith. Cushioned in your embalming love. Safe from the world.

I love you, oh dear, after whom I was named. Almost, and also then.

 

Faith, love, trust… Forgiveness, understanding, love… Transcending beyond attachment. You wish.

Well yeah, I do wish. And long. And struggle. Because it is the only way out. It is the purpose.

Have faith. Love. Trust.

 

(Sorry… I know this post doesn’t make sense. It isn’t supposed to. Its supposed to be a diary entry, but a diary I have none… It started off as a cribbing post… Also bitchy. But it transformed into a prayer. Maybe thats saying something…)

(DISCLAIMER : One of my friends just pointed out that this post has extreme likenesses to a creation inspired by a heartburn. I solemnly swear that this it is not so. The incessantly selfish me was in love with no one else other than myself when I wrote this post. Nor was I under the influence of alcohol, nicotine, narcotics and the like. Thank you.)

Homeness…

Trying desperate to enter and caress the one homeward bound, She made a long mark on the glass. Like a snail’s tell-tale tail. Or a the glistening trail that a tear leaves in its wake. The rains had not failed me, yet again. They hadn’t failed to put up a welcome the moment the KSRTC bus had passed the Palakkad border.

Rain…

People going about their business in the cover of their black Popy umbrellas…

Small cliques gathering around coconut-leaf-roofed tea shops, braving the rain…

Unfinished construction work leaving the roads in tatters…

Thousands of millions of coconut and banana trees…

Houses that are not houses, but homes…

Buses, appropriately coloured red so as to camoflauge the blood they spill, on their daily killing sprees…

Smiling auto drivers who talk animatedly about the rain…

YOU GOTTA LOVE THIS FRICKING STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<3

Truly God’s Own…

#3wordsaftersex

And why on Earth is this suddenly trending on Twitter?

People from around the world are contributing hundreds of humorous (albeit perverted) tweets every minute with the tag #3wordsaftersex.

Despite the pervertedness, I have to admit, they are pretty funny :) They are humorous versions of 3 words which people could say after having sex.

My favourite?

“Honey, I’m home!”

:)

UPDATE : My present favourite one is this… (a bit geeky)

#3wordsaftersex (after Penguin sex) I’m a PC! (via @baxiabhishek) *Maniacal laughter ensues*

Explanation for non-geeks. Penguin = Tux, the mascot of Linux.

UPDATE 2 : My presentest favourite…

#3wordsaftersex (in the White House) Yes, we can!

Head over to http://twitter.com/#search?q=%233wordsaftersex to see the latest.

Interestingly, no one knows where or how it began. Nor why its such a trend (its the #1 trend on Twitter right now!) The Twitter Trend explanation website WhatTheTrend seemed to have joined the fun seems to have joined the fun with an #3wordsaftersex tweet as the explanation for why it is trending. It read “Did I really?”

(UPDATE : Now WhatTheTrend explains “People are tweeting three words you might hear someone say after having sex, for entertainment.” duh!)

Has it got anything to do with the demise of the developer of Viagra, Robert Furchgott? Maybe its a PR campaign by Pfizer, in the memory of Furchgott…

Meanwhile, “Please come again!” :D :P    (sorry! Couldn’t resist that one!)

Binayak gets bail!

2 years and 11 days after the pediatrician has been in jail (without warrant and without reason), he has been granted bail.

By the Supreme Court.

He shall be released today (May 25th) from Raipur Jail.

The trial of his case with regards to him having links with Maoists will resume in Raipur court today.

Chattisgarh government tried filing a counter affidavit yesterday night. It said Sen would abscond if given bail. Complains about pressure from media campaign and foreign nationals.

Judge says two years is too much. Dismisses prosecution lawyer with one sentence “Bail granted”.

This is not the end. This is only the beginning. Glad to know that even while print and television giants are trying to beat each other in a scamble to get the sexiest pictures of the IPL cheerleaders, there are some sensible bits of media left in the pockets…
