Hush...
as quiet as the early morning birds,
the crashing waves,
the howling black wind,
the parting clouds,
as quiet as an Empty vessel;
And yet he was Quiet
I could hear all the noises,
And yet he was quiet.
Or perhaps he didnt make a sound,
where i had anticipated a band of rock and roll,
Or at least series of accusations,
But being Quiet was what he was.
And he kept quiet,
as quiet as the midnight birds,
the still wind,
the empty dark alley,
the hollow abandoned museum
as quiet as a dead cemetery;
Perhaps describing the Liveliest between us;
The dead cemetery.

love :)
There can be no way out,
Without love this heart too would grieve,
For want of things to grieve about.

smile.. no more
is all i wish for
A smile,
which came so easily,
before you came into my life,
refuses to form,
now that you aint here.
A smile,
is just a mask now,
for the rolling drops.
A smile,
isnt much to ask for,
but yet i fear,
for you may not smile.
A smile.
The wrongs in me.
as wrong as loving you,
was never wrong.
I never knew the wrong,
was so right.
So right that doing the right thing,
seemed wrong.
The wrong,
was also wrong.
Two wrongs never make it right,
but two rights were wrong.
Loving you was never wrong,
You were never wrong.
Perhaps you were just not the,
Right one.

bitter sweet
convincing myself that you'l return is.
All my love,
forms a cloud in my head.
Leaving me unable,
to choose between two rights.
You were never wrong,
falling for you was never wrong.
Being with you was never wrong.
Loving you was never wrong
But, how does waiting for you seem wrong?

MemOriEs Of a diStaNt paSt
Coming back to India. My 1st experience with India and Indian was when i went there to pursue my Degree~i was 19+. All alone in a foreign land. Leaving behind all familiar faces, known lanes, Uncles and Aunties, friends who meant th world to me, to live in a foreign land, amongst strangers. A country i had NO one in. A place i have never considered my own. A place where i was solely known by my looks and nothing else!
My 1st week was filled with deep regret and depression. But th Indian atmosphere is so colourful that it doesnt let you be down for too long. I made friends~ friends for life~though we may be oceans apart, they are th best set of people ive ever known. True, Indian friendship is different from th Malaysian friendship (yeah~ even friendship differs with th geographical location :P)
As time passed, I started Living life in India. My first experience at Independence~though i was still financially dependent :p~ I used to wonder why people fought for independence~ i no longer wonder~ I lived a life i couldnt have lived anywhere else. A life where i was known for who i am. Defined by solely my name and not my Fathers. Spent every day doing what i pleased without having to bother about anyone(no 1 knew my parents bck thr :P). My first brush with Pani Puri~a snack which i consider th greatest of all Snacks~
Pani Puri has been th one food i cant get enough of. I used to stay up studyin all night long before the exams(yeah, 1 day before th exam) and think of Breakfast At Bakery and Pani Puri's in th noon :). And always wanted to collect some Pani sample of th pani puri and agar plate it! Hell yeah, im sure th CFU will easily be higher that 10000~ and yet everytime, i gobble up a plate n wait for th cuka~i forgot how its pronounced ~
haih! i miss my bangalore~mind you, i dont miss th whole of bangalore or th whole of india! i just miss th Bangalore i know and th Indians i came across. Th indians gave me a new identity. Th indians made me believe in me! Th bangalore that has given me so much of independence, so much of love and joy, Th bangalore that has thought me how to love, and expect nothing in return. Th Bangalore i Love.
If I could return back to Bangalore, i Would. even if none of my friends are there anymore., i would go back to Bangalore! A place i call home, after th one in Klang. A place im familiar with. A place that puts me to ease. A place i dnt need to worry about anything. A place where i can walk and walk and walk, and not be alone..
A place where my Soul meets its match..

Unity~Peace~Joy
to all mankind,
Let there be an end;
to all wars,
Let there be a stop;
to all racism,
Let there be happiness.
My blood has no colour,
Nor does my tears know race,
The wind caressing me,
hasnt a direction;
Let the Hearts unite.
Drops unite to form a Sea,
Sea's unite to form Oceans,
Glory be the waves,
Let the clouds Unite,
Every night has its Dawn;
The day shall see light!
rocky dogG
he knows how exactly to fool my mom n make her let him out
how to make dad give him food (junk food)
how to make aravin stop dead in his track n play with him
n to make me do all of th above
He's a very intelligent dog even though he does none of what th dog's you see on th Idiot box do. he cant catch a ball in th air., nor does he know how to fetch., nor does he know how to twist n twirl., nor does he know how to smile or make other silly faces., nor does he know how to walk to 2 legs n shake hand. N he cant deliver letters like th dog in 'Hum aapke hain kaun'. Why? Cuz he's a dog! I mean even rocky understands that al a dog needs to know is to run on 4 legs (n yeah's awesome at it~ if u can catch rocky u will be declared a Hero!), n he knows how to bang th front grill when he wants to come in th house. He also knows that barking serves many purpose- woof woof~ im hungry
- wouuuuuuuuf woouuuuuuuu~i think there's some1 at th gate
- wuf wuf wuf~ im hungry
- wooof wooof wooof(infinity)~ i need to pee, could you please let me out?! (@#$%^&*!)
Yeah, thats pretty much al he knows.. n he even knows its best not to touch th laundry thats drying or it would be th laundry that killed him.
I just got back from th innumerable walks that Rocky demands from us in a day. He thinks its his birth right to go for a walk around th locality every 2 hours. He has even made friends with th area guard and his HUGE guard dog. Perhaps, he's aspiring to be a Guard dog in future.. *thinks* That'l be one hell of a sight. A dog th size of a cat but a heart of th bloodhound ;) *nyeh nyeh nyeh*
My previous dogs, somehow understood that going for a walk means, "to do your business". And if you get too spot a cat or sniff another dogG's rear end al th more better. But with rocky that isnt th case. For him, going for a walk means:
- I get to inhale Fresh air.. *i shall perform a lil bit of Yoga in th middle of th road, please!*
- These aunties here think im cute, i shal go sniff em and make some noise.
- Hey! was that th place i forgot to piss at yest?! I need to mark my territory, come!
- I havent sniffed that square inch of land yet! why are you hurrying me?!
N even after all these rattlings, I can safely say, Dogs are indeed man's (and woman's) best friend! And dont mistake Rocky for a bad guy. If only he could grasp the entire concept of going for a walk!
I wouldnt bet my money on that though!

moski~ mossski~ moskito!
- those who die as soon as you spray sheltox or for th matter of fact any repellent on them
2. and th 2nd kind is th 1 which never dies. you can drown th room with sheltox and even risk yourself being killed, but no.. these small buggers never die! NEVER!
Fortunately these things ( i refuse to honour them by calling them by their names) dont like me~ or rather my blood. But th buzzing sound they make on th hot summer nights! drive me up th wall.. And Malaysia UNFORTUNATELY is a humid country to begin with. The central power system Board is excellent actually. They hardly ever disconnect us from our beloved idiot box~electricity in other words, but when they do, they choose th worst of days. its always during th hot summer days does th fan stop and these beings try to help by 'fanning' their wings right above your head!
Every evening my Mom's prepares th house for a battle zone. She looks at th clock. The sun. The clock. The sun. and finally when its about time *yeah she miraculously knows the exact time, latitude,longitude, magnitude and al th other equations regarding th Moski's* she shuts th sliding door, th main door, al th possible windows and ventilators, turning th house into a dark dark cave with no openings. And during th days we have to return home after dusk, we race th moski's into the house, trying to leave them lesser space to squeeze through. but i must say, the plan hardly ever works, considering 4 fully grown adults and a dog present.
But th moski's hovering at my doorstep should be aware of th fate that awaits them as they attempt entering our home. My mom has all possible repellents available in th market awaiting them. And I, find it easier to slap these things instead. Save money and in th process Save th ozone.
Thats when our Hero~ th mosq coil come in picture.. This is th kinda item that you dont remember after youve burned.. I mean, its like set it on fire and ur free for th rest of th night! (these buggers come out only after th sun's gone home).
Product decription~
Name~ MalingZ mosqi Coil
Purpose~ to kick ass~ th tiny ass that is
Pro's~ its less harmful to th ozone layer and u can light it up n forget it. portable.
Con's~ many people hate th smell of it and it makes th room yucky. asthma patients (coff coff)
Other uses~ it can be used to light crackers-when you cant find an incense stick(whc is also used for prayers), to light up ciggie's, beedi's, etc., (and a small note of warning- smoking is worse than moskis)
Yeah, so now, all you have to do is to drag a coil out of th pack, and light it up. and then sit back and watch th action. If you observe close enough and if you have th GIFT, you can see th smoke infiltrating th lungs of these small beings, you can see them gasping for air. the smoke and fumes caressing their lungs and breath.
But there's this little dogG at home, known as Rocky th Rockstar~ who doesnt mind these moski's. He seems adept at killing the, somehow. and he even eats them up at moments. I reckon he finds it a pretty fun activity to engage in and a marvelous snack?!. Well, thats 1 sentiment the rest of us dont share.
And well again, if ur thinking why did i spend so much time rattling about these small beings, which are pretty much insignificant (well, they cause dengue, malaria, chikungunya etc), might i remind you that you've been wasting similar amount of energy and time reading this post
*heh heh heh*..
Adios till then, there's a moski hovering right above my head...

the night owl visits..
a fren of mine dropped by an hour back.. Naresh.. ive known him for th past.. umm.. wait... 10 years *whoa!~ i just counted that*. we've known each other ryte from school. And i must add, he's definately transformed a lots! With his..
- killer looks
- macho~ismo (he claims so.. and i can vouch for it)
- his ever cool stories bout MOS
- his funny 1 liners
- his hair! haha..
- and finally, he is never ever ever punctual.. if he says i'l be thr at 9, th whole lot of us know its 11.. yeah thats how punctual he is..
Coming back to his visit an hour back.. he said something that i dont think i'l ever forget.. he decided to agonize me by telling me his long 104th day of his love life *yesh! i know.. even i cant believe guys keep track of al these dates* n i had to exclaim it's soooo sweet n she's freakin lucky evry 5 minutes to cover up the fact that i was green with envy. n thank th malfunctioning street light which blinks more than a chick tryin to flirt, i cud hide th jealousy
Beyond al that he told me somethin *yeah th something ive been rattling about from th start*
"when you're in love, you've got to show th other person that you love him/her. Problems crop up when you dont show it"
Its something that touched a chord wif me. With my other 1/2 living thousands of km's away. all the way in bangalore. and i cant connect with him as much i would love to cuz of these evil things called telecoms.. i strongly believe they wake up everyday n pray for single's all arnd th world to fall in love.. phew! the exorbitant amount of money 1 has to shell out for an international call..
i BELIVE they'v struck a deal with th guy up there in th clouds..
BUT, there exist this sweet little thing called th internet =) whc has its share of pro's n con's.
- one gets to 'connect' at a CHEAPER cost. screw you phone companies.. th net is here to save us al..
- you get to save th conversations ur having.. n re-read it for th hundreth time..
- these awesome things called 'yahoo messenger', 'msn', gtalk, skype, 'irc', 'jabber' and the likes of it..
- one gets to talk to people theyve never met in life and will never meet and travel to places they'l never travel (albeit from th comp screen)
- and you get to complain to total strangers and get adviced by them as they offer totally unbiased suggestions..
The BaD
- There are mad MAD people out there.. people who think it's cool to stalk others.
- There also are people who think they own you and advice you on every damn thing
- There are people who decide that since you are online you owe your life to them and you WILL have to reply them. And if you dont they sulk. throw tantrums. cut al connexions' wif you. For al you know. i mite be curled up on th floor having appendicitis.
The Ugly
- you get frauded by credit card companies.
- you get spammed by all these companies who rejoice in you wading through th flood in your mailbox
- GIRLs, get raped~yeah, these stalkers can do that.. And GUYs, get stalked by underaged girls who think its cool to follow th guy to every chat room he is visiting.
AH! like all technological advances, the NET has its share of catches!
Uff.. i perhaps should go get connected to my loved 1.. which was why i logged in at the first place.. But then Again..
