worrying me sick!

inefficient time management and global warming

power!

well the power of power was made known to us in the last 24 hrs.
us being residents of kormangla 4th block, blore. a little heavy rain last evening...am guessing caused a tree to fall and cut off the electricity of the entire area!
so no power whole of last evening, whole night and no power during the day either. luckily i was in office during the day.
while walking home from work, i saw my area dark and asked the shop keeper 'power cut today also??' he said there has been no power since yesterday!!! and there was no expecting it to be around till tomorrow morning! luckily its here and now after 24hrs and we're breathing a sigh of relief.
but 24 hrs was MORE than enough to bring life to a stand still...
there was NOTHING anyone was able to do....
we could not even sleep in peace!leave aside the fan, the mosquito repellent also works on electricity!!!!!

LOOKING FOR A SPOILER????

!!!

solitude beckons...

another kind of silence...

another kind of peace...

another kind of storm,

another kind of grief

to mr. ditcher

probably haven't spent more convincing someone!
probably noone's made us wait longer.
probably noone's been happier for us.
probably noone's made us grin wider.

when you cant sleep

so when you cant sleep what do you do?
do you blame it on the empty stomach?
or on the fuller heart?
do you blame it on the warm weather?
or on the mosquitoes that dart?
do you blame it on no company?
or on the thoughtless mind?
do you blame the book for not being boring?
or the pillow for not being the softest find?
or do you just let the excuses be?
but what the hell!!!!! the one in office tomorrow has to be ME!!!

thank you

the days when we've had a NICE meal, served to us with care and affection, i guess are the days we sleep with a smile on our face.

thanks to the SO many angels, for giving me one more day when I've slept with a smile on my face.

:)

all we want is all we'll have...

happy feet???????

two feet away from comfort,
two feet away from peace,
swell, ache, itch, pain!!!!!!
sigh!
two feet away from ease.


well the above 4 lines and piece of art are a tribute to my super painful feet(probably the most painful two feet in the world!!!!!!! )

grrrrrrrrrr

i HATE waiting!!!

plays...

theater...

to me, is creativity personified.

the art to be able to make a person sitting right in front of you see, believe and feel what you want him/her to. you have to do it right there... in flesh and blood, without the luxury of the movies where you can correct your mistakes. no technology can come to your rescue here, one moment of being out of the character, one fumble in dialogue, the link you establish with the audience is gone.

having said that...

we went for this set of two plays... Mouse and Positions at the rangashakara last Saturday.

i was not impressed.

They did play around with the lighting, and the dialogues, but there was an absolute lack of creativity. No emotions,no drama, no story.

Mouse: was a different concept so to speak, but just did not drive home a point. no ACTING... just dialogue narration.

Positions: was a combination of 6 plays(situations enacted), not interlinked. no story just situations picked up from daily life and enacted, no motive, no connection.

was quite disappointed. but then being to rangashankara, seeing it for myself how the place(a dream brought to life) has taken shape was an experience in itself.

resurrected

the smell of the first rain,

the sound of the cracking cane,

the warm bed in winter,

the feel of the mischievous whisper.

the light smile they all evoke...

the moments pass and you cant revoke.

but i want to...

i want to relive yesterday...

freeze the moment,

and recall whenever i wish i may.

may not be that simple...

but it sure is fine,

i know every bit of it was and will always be mine :)

SO not done.

trust me, haggling with auto drivers is the last thing you want to do if you are in Bangalore. and its sure going to be a nightmare if you end up in a situation when you have to do it after eight in the night.

these are the times when you SO miss a city like Bombay. where you know for sure, that the system is in place to facilitate your movement and not to take advantage of the fact that the distance you want to cover is not something you can do by yourself or don't have the time to just walk it up.

just landed in Bangalore and cant find a prepaid stand?

car's just broken down and you need to go to a place near by?

getting late to work and your bus stop is alteast 15 mins by walk?

ITS RAINING!!!????

got one extra 2 kg bag with you???

rest assured you are going to be charged 1.5 times the standard rates if not more.

and of course the icing comes if all this happens after 8 in the night. God help you if there is a combination!
