B - - - S

First day - I caved
Second day - Other distractions helped me to stay away
Third day - Busy at work, but couldn't stop thinking about it
Fourth day - Manageable, said to myself "You won't die"
Fifth day - I am really missing it
Sixth day - It's another day in paradise!!

Not that anybody noticed, but Life is a bitch!

It all comes down to this

போர்க்களத்தில் பிறந்துவிட்டோம்,
வந்தவை் போனவை் வருத்தமில்லை

காட்டினிலே வாழ்கின்றோம்்்றோம்,
முட்களின் வலியொன்றும் மரணமில்லை

இருட்டினிலே நீ நடக்கையிலே,
உன்் நிழலும் உன்னைவிட்டு விலகிவிடும்

நீ மட்டும்தான் இந்த உலகத்திலே,
உனக்குத்துனை என்று விளங்கிவிடும்

தீயோடு போகும்வரையில்,
தீராது இந்தத் தனிமை

கரைவரும் நேரம் பார்த்து கப்பலில் காத்திருப்போம்,
எரிமலை வந்தால்கூட ஏறிநின்றுப் போர்த்தொடுப்போம்்தொடுப்போம்!

அந்த தெய்வரகசியம் புரிகிரதே...
இங்கு எதுவும் நிலையில்லை கரைகிரதே...
மனம் வெட்டவெளியிலே அலைகிரதே...
அந்தக் கடவுளைக் கண்டால்...


If only he hadn't sung this.....

When does a man feel really vulnerable?

In love? No! When you are visiting the boy's room for third time in two hours, when your stomach is utterly, horribly, upset and through the crack of that door you see your collegue standing outside with a smirk on his face! You hold it out inside for a few more minutes for him to leave and then you make your way out. Further few minutes later you bump into him in the corridor and he asks you with utmost compassion "Is everything all right?"

To top it all, you don't even have time or patience to get angry. Aaaah!...visit number four!

The phone call

The telephone rang incessantly for like 15 rings. Tony was getting impatient. He was thinking to himself, "There is this invention called answering machine. You connect it and after 4 rings it goes to it. What's so difficult?" It was 9:00PM. The usual time when Tony places such calls. The one that he hated the most. Atlast the ringing stopped and somebody from the other side, a little groggily answered-

"Hello!"
"A little too early to be drunk, don't you think?"
"Who is it?"
"Its me! I left you a note with that butcher of yours. He didn't give you?"
"Oh! sorry Tony. He said you'll call me, didn't say anything else. I had something to take care.....big boss had asked me to. Out of town gig. Didn't sleep in 2 days"
"Listen, I have news for you. I thought I should tell you since I've known you for a year now and all the good times we had"
"What is it?"
"You are out"
"What do you mean?"
"Boss doesn't want you no more"
"I thought he liked me. I thought that's why he gave me the other gig. Where is this coming from?"
"Listen kid, I like you, so I'm telling this. Don't fight this"
"I need to know why. What did I do wrong? I was loyal to you guys"
"It has nothing to do with that. You know that. If we need somebody in the future, you'll be my man"
"I was doing fine Tony. Money was good. I had a stable job. And now this?"
"I know kid. Listen, something will come up in the future. Don't worry"
"How is it going to go down?"
"Sixth or seventh schedule"
"That means in the middle of it? I wasn't even supposed to be in until the fifth. So I get what like 2 may be 3?"
"Yeah, on a trip to Long island. In the turn pike. Boom!"
"Don't tell me that. Can't you do something about this?"
"When I go out on my own, if you are still around, I'll help you. But now, I only take orders"
"yeah yeah, don't give me that!"
"Listen, don't take this personally. You know this business, thats how it operates"
"I want to talk to the boss"
"I won't suggest that, he is in a foul mood for the last one week"
"Why?"
"His mistress"
"The blond?"
"No, the other one"
"What's the problem?"
"He is 58, she is 24. What do you think?"
"Oh! So there is no way I could get to him?"
"Listen, you didn't know this from me. This other mistress, has a brother. He wants in"
"So I get wacked for that!"
"I'm sorry kid, Wish I had a better news, but got to go now. Tell your prayers and go to bed"
"Like it will help! You are telling me I'm gonna get killed and you want me to be happy!"
"Sorry kid, that's it now!"

The line went dead........

நான் மருபடியும் கட்ச்சேரிக்குப் போரேன்

Hopefully, this time with a little more sagacity. The key word being "hope".
