People in a lifetime

Juggling between Testing and writing leaves me no time to blog. Boo hoo!

Last night, I was with Paulo Cahelo's 'The Winner Stands Alone'. Yet another book preaching "follow your dream" And here I find Ruben, who quit his job today to follow his dream. Okay, this is his second dream but still. Hats of to you Ruben (and your team). I am so happy and proud of you.
Music is Ruben's passion, his own album a dream.

With there being number of bikers, riding from Bangalore to Leh for a cause, spreading awareness about various social things, there are a few bikers on the everyday Bangalore roads with more message and awareness to spread. It is fun and astonishing to read what people write on their vehicles. Like take a look at a few I came across.

• "Eat my shit". Hell why? Why would anyone, anyone do that? And why would you ask a total stranger to eat your shit? You think it is funny eh?
• "Your children will thank me" Why? Of all the children, why only my children. I first saw this on reva, the electric car and it made total sense. But when a sumo puts this up...Sense of humor...royally screwed.
• "I am a freak and so are you" Let each one speak on their own behalf. You are a freak for sure, but why include me?
• "I recycle" Good. Now should I come empty my garbage bin in your house or would you come collect it from my house?
• "I rule the road" Yeah right! Says who.
• "I am your grandfather" Oh! If you are my grandfather, who is the old jerk toothlessly farting with my granny?
• "Jesus is watching" He he he and there you are enjoying a blow in the tinted car. Thought no one was watching, didn't you?
• "Narsimha loves Chinnu" Me too me too. Is Chinnu hot?

Whether you get up from the wrong side of the bed or the right, there are somethings in life, that no matter what will always give you joy. At least I have one such list of things.

1. Having the pleasure of bed tea the minute you wake up. Okay, now many people like to brush before the tea but me, I like it the minute I put my legs from the bed to the ground. I would be happy if it was Whisky or Brandy who gave me the tea as the greeted me in the morning.
2. Thinking of Whisky-Brandy, being greeted by your dog with that wet sloppy lick when you are still half asleep. It maybe annoying but think of a time you wake up and your dog has not come to your room. Phew! I would not like it a bit.
3. Looking at a person run in the morning. Shirt sweaty, nice legs...;-) Huge aunties huffing and puffing in a group, walking up and down the lane, complaining about their maid.
4. A flower shop on the way. Bright Red, yellow flowers stacked up. Beautifully clustered bunch of contrasting colored flowers.
5. Seeing a school child jumpily going to school. Her mother holding her in one hand and the bag in another.
6. Outside a road side hotel, the sound when water is sprinkled on a hot tava.
7. A bunch of girls giglling as they suck on their vanilla cone.
8. A road shadowed with trees. This used to be so common in Bangalore once upon a time.
9. Fresh green huge coconuts sold on the road side on a hot summer day.
10. The smell of popcorn.
11. Enjoying the sweet evening breeze of silence on your roof-top.
12. Cuddled with your partner, watching the calmness of the moon.
13. The sound of the beach.
14. The smell of Earth with water sprinkled on it.
15. Finding a ten rupee note in the pocket of an old jeans.

I am keeping the list a running one. Tell me what gives you happiness, and I will put them up.

So here is what others have to add to the list:

Paresh:

• Smile from your loved one when you are alone and depressed.
• Seated by the seaside listening to the sounds of waves.
• Listen to jazz and sleep to its music.
• Riding a bike when the air is cool and it hits your face so tenderly, leaving behing a chill.

Alex:

• Cloudy sky , with sun no where visible.
• A road to zoom your bike on with no traffic in sight.
• Start your day with appam and egg roast with garam chai.
• The sight of a pair of sexy butt.
• Someone to open the door after a hard day of work instead of you keying in.
• A kiss when you are back home.

Sugar:

• A call from mom when she is cooking. A call to tell you she is cooking something you like and it made her remeber you.
• A call from an old friend to tell you he is still alive and kicking.

When you thought I wasn't listening,
you told all your friends what a pretty babe you got.
Since then I have always wanted to look the best.

When you thought I wasn't looking,
You played with my pups and spoke to them
It made me feel what a good father you would turn to be.

Though I made a fuss, you still continued
to be make time for your pals to help them out.
It told me what a good friend all of them see in you.

When I was lazy, you took time to cook for me.
When I was tired, you massaged me gently.
It showed me how much you care for me.

When you thought I was deep in sleep
You puckered a kiss on me so tenderly.
It told me how much in love you are with me.

You showed me, love is not to be showed but felt.
You taught me, love is a game, play it well.
And now I want to tell the world
I don't know how many of them will see
that in you I have seen-A love that has so true been.

My hunk ran the Bangalore Sunfeast 10K Marathon and he ran for a cause :-O
To impress his babe. I was only head over heels but now, I'm walking on the clouds to know he would go 10K more for me.
I am loving it.Maybe, if you ask me, 10K ain't very great. But then a person who ran only 3K on the treadmill when runs 10K on road, accepting the challenge bang on the face, with all the determination of not cheating and completing it in as little time as possible, undoubtedly needs to be given all the credit in the world.
Three cheers to you and congratulation. Let us make you do more :-P

The beauty of a rose is defined in your morning eyes.
At least that is what is seen to my naked eyes.
Your electrifying face is strapped to all my senses.
Your name is painted on all the city fences.
I put all my emotions for you on a giant balloon
Since the day I met you, I have been howling at the moon.
Time and time again, the rainbow has lead me to you,
Your unforgettable thoughts are always something new.
Your kind of love does not need the cupids help,
With your affection, you keep redefining love.

I am getting away

I don’t like this game.

Whom are you gonna blame

When all that you got left is You?

I see,

People giving their mask their own name.

I hear,

People screaming “everything is still the same.”

I am in a place where,

Religious people call you lame

I meet people who think,

Life came with the wind and they eat their fame.

People are just covered in a black flame

In the end, they all give birth to shame.

I see angels spinning in infinity
Shouting "Hallelujah"
I see the demons floating
Praying doldrums.
I close my eyes; think about you
I open them ; find you gone.
My demons play with me when you are around
It is the angels talking where you are not around
My thoughts, sandwiched in between the angels and demons,
throw a part of me which was never know.
I make mistakes; fail to make them right.
No matter what I do,
the sun in your life, I fail to make bright.
No matter what love, no matter what care,
I fail to appreciate, every gesture to make.
There is no value of the tears that fall at night
Every other morning is spoilt with another fight.
