NOT WRITTEN BY ME-----BUT JUST FELT LIKE ADDING IT TO MY BLOG

Okay, so I came over here lookign for a mate , found you and so thought i should ask you out for a dance .But I'm kind of concerned. I mean, we could hit it off really well, end up having a few drinks, next thing you know you're giving me your number because I'm too shy to ask for it, I finally get up the nerve to call and we take in a movie, have some dinner, I relax, you relax, we go out a few more times, get to know each other's friends, spend a lot of time together, then finally have get past this sexual tension and really develop this intense sex life that is truly incredible, decide our relationship is solid and stable, so we movein together for a while, then a few months later get married, I get a promotion, you get a promotion, we buy a bigger house. You really want kids, but I really want freedom, but we have a kid anyway, only to find that I am resentful, the sparks start to fade and to rekindle them we have two more lovely kids, but now I work too much to keep up with the bills, have no time for you, you're stressed and stop taking really good care of yourself, so to get past our slow sex life and my declining self-confidence I turn to an outside affair for sexual gratification. You find out because I'm careless and a lousy liar, you throw me out (justifiably so) and we have to explain to the kids why mommy and daddy are splitting up. That's just too sad. Think about the children. For God's sake, if you dance with me and we hit it off, let's just keep it as friendly dance, because we both know where it's going.

An Acquaintance with a Stranger

I believe that besides god and satan there is one more complex creature living inside each one of us. At times he is good, at times bad but most of the times he is confused and rebellious. This alien creature is like a kid, who will always do what he is stopped from. For instance this inexplicable creature inside me is the root cause of me being termed as ‘strange’ .The more I tell him not to think of a particular thing or person, the more I end up thinking, talking and discussing about that thing or person I suppose this creature is more domineering over the fairer sex. That is why women are called’ complex creatures’, ’strange’, ’brainless’,’ emotional fools’ and the list goes on.

I myself belonging to the fairer sex can proudly claim that may be it is this creature that makes my intuitions and suspicions grow stronger day by day. Most of the times my brain is not functioning while there is not even a single second when this creature remains inactive. He is as active as Ambani’s bank accounts, Paris Hilton’s wardrobe and Laloo’s endless list of scandals.

No matter how hard I try I find it impossible to get rid of this bacterial creature. I’m not certain about his ancestral history and I’m not aware that whose relative he actually is. Is he in god’s team or satan’s gang , even the FBI has laid their hands off this case. One thing is certain that he is very dominant over the brain and exercises full control over every emotion just like our Sharukh Khan-the undisputed badshah of tinsel town or oye bubbly the most entertaining ad line of ad world today.

Although this chaotic creature is complex and infectious yet none can do without him. Can you imagine a woman without her ‘strangeness’, it would make her so incomplete and boring. Can you imagine a woman without her funny, sad, strange expressions, a woman without her baseless and senseless talks?

So no matter how much I or the other gender ridicules this creature ,the fact is that neither women nor men can do without it.

PEACE TO ALL

(PS- I'm thankful to my cousin who suggested me the title.This one is for u priest..you know who you are)

A CONFUSED STATE OF MIND

This was an attempt to rhyme but I ended up with a strong affirmation that today was not the ideal day to rhyme.
Once upon a time I realized that I have never been able to rhyme. The last two months I read Shelley, Keats, Wordsworth, Dryden, Chaucer, Rossetti and all other masters of their times and got inspired and made an effortless attempt to rhyme.

The poetess in me breathes her imagination
In the form of dream, vision and illusion
And the weak mind is in the midst of confusion
Wonder how Hughes did it without any complication.

Life is strange and tormenting
With every step, all the more perplexing
Just when you think you had it all
Think again you’re being kicked like a ball.

We are waste landers on a waste land,
We talk about fertility on dry sand
Materialistically gaining, spiritually failing
The old vessel of life aimlessly sailing.

Why are my thoughts so pessimistic ?
With corruption and bribery all should be optimistic
What politicians can do for you, not even god could do
Agrees to this even the dead satirist Alexander Pope.

The above twenty lines, Have no sense of rhyme
Still I end this poetic fantasy with pride and smile
That alas one day I will rhyme.
