One down, three more to go!



 Four  of us hovered around  the computer and were googling for  places to visit, Well yes it was the  outing planning happening  after 4 years! That is a pretty long time  and we realised we really have to execute the plan this time and were all excited about it. We were hogging over the potato chips and continued our search.
Miss S: Let’s go GOA!!
Me: Well…nearly 600 kms. 10 hours by road. We have only two days with us. Not a feasible option!
Miss R: Why not coorg??
Me: No way! That place is sad!
Miss S: Gokharna it is!
Me: Why the holy places?? Are we planning to achieve saint hood??
Me: Madikeri…??
Miss R: BOrrrrrring!


Miss S and Miss R continued rattling. I had my fingers on the keyboard and was browsing the sites which were offering the best packages and was hardly listening to their tantrums. Miss G was sitting and doing nothing and smiling away, like she always does! But this time it was a smile which seemed to be having a covert operation happening behind it. It was Miss R who was keeping an eye on Miss G’s behaviour that evening along with holding up her argument. Miss R is known for doing two things at the same time and working it out quite efficiently.

Miss G continued flaunting her fingers, like a magician waving his wand with a whoosh and waiting for something unexpected to happen! Well It did happen! The most unexpected…well we did expect it to happen sometime in the future.... But this came by like a blizzard.

 Miss G smiled nefariously. All of us turned towards her and gave her the ‘look’… the ‘Go-Ahead, Say something’ look.
      ‘Something happened’ she said.
  Which we figured it out before she saying it,  and  continued to give her   the look. But this time it was a more emphatic look.
 And there it was out, out of her system (wonder how long she could keep it hidden there without giving us a slightest key to it) … It had happened …happened to one of us…One down already. One sacrificed, with three of us remaining.
 Five years ago, we were persuading her to quit. We tried everything to make her give up. Sounds wicked, but we were just showing that we care. A few years ago, we warned her-
  No Miss G, you have to stop doing this we cried.
  It will seem all cool now, but you’ll repent later.
  Its not healthy.
 You’re way too young.
 Its not the right path.
 You can’t decide what’s good for you. Leave it to us (Yes, we did pretend to be invincible)
         
 But now after five whole years, there it was... the diamonds on her fourth finger of the left hand, on the finger considered to be the veina amoris! Yes! She was engaged! (Worse part, we knew only after TWO weeks, wonder what she was thinking!)
  Well all those five years of talking her out of it. It did work out for her! When she broke it to us, Miss R  and S  jumped out congratulating her.  I was just sitting, motionless, without giving any expressions. It did take me some time to digest that. . Miss G was waiting for me to say something. There were tears at the corner of my eyes (I hid them!) She came over and gave me a hug! She realised how emotionally welled up I was. Ye I suck at holding those tears! Along with that came another revelation…Im getting married in a year, she announced…uffff…
    The sacrificing part I was speaking about earlier was the way Im starting to lose my friends for marriage. Well the M word scares me off. Don’t know why that is, it just makes me feel really old. Talking about the Marriage part, I recall the day when I went to my friend’s place and was talking to his mom. His mom and I were having a general conversation as to how long I’ll be working and what I’m planning to do in the future. And she just gave me a crooked smile and asked me, so… when you planning to get married (Hit the 20’s and this question never stops pouring). I assumed it was another casual talk, and I replied ‘No Aunty, Getting married so fast is not on my list right now, I’ll give it another three years. And getting married so fast means staying with the same guy for 3 years extra than you are actually supposed to...Isn’t that boring’!?(Was I questioning her as to how her married life was? Or was I telling her that it WAS Boring! I still wouldn’t know)


  I said that without any plausible break between her question and my answer.  I always wonder why can’t I just answer to the point and shut up! I always tend to talk more than required. She gave me the weirdest look ever and since then I haven’t attempted to talk to her or neither has she. She never would want her son to hang out with me again!
  Well that’s not my fault! But the true fact is, anyway you are gonna live with that guy forever together and that’s  more than enough! Why extend 3 more years with him than necessary?? Being single for the last 3 years of your 100 years of life , before you get into the M shit is worth the singleton! That’s when you actually get to know what being single actually means!!
It’s always cute to have long and stable relationships. Cute is the only word which goes with it. But will you really be happy is what I wonder. Some people tend to keep the strings attached even though they are unhappy or they know that they are gonna end up that way. But some works out wonders like Miss G and Mister G. I really do admire them after all that they have faced and gotten over with. Congratulations Miss G.
P.S: The (my) one, if you’re reading this blog come up to me only after 3 years! I have many things running in my mind before I can spell committed (evil smile)!!

Magnet:Iron:: Attention: We= Fame Hoggers

It's Correlated! When you are in love,it's all the attention that you get which makes you fall in love again and all over again. Love without attention? Naah. That never exists. Some people crave for it some people live with it and for some it just so comes naturally. Well craving for attention is nothing wrong. But trying really hard for it? You'll get all the wrong attention which you definitely didn't want! Now that's the thing you don't want to get into. Here are some brush throws; you can consider it to be a tip or a forewarning! Suit yourself. 1. Facebook - Get Face booked! Sneak into your enemy's profile, how many likes has she/he got. That itch, she has more likes than you? Damn!DP change. Get a professional photographer and get it clicked naturally or hang out with sexy girls who just wear sexy clothes and get a picture clicked in a club or make the background look like the most happening party of the Hollywood/Bollywood industry. Well fo...

American Tangled

After a hiatus, here I am, back ! I decided I won't be writing until I touch the border of the United States Of America! It's a race my friend said. And it was! One year down, the process..Naah, I won't be talkin bout it! It's a long process like chemical reactions and pathways involving a fatty acid which has a never ending chain length. I have a lot to catch up on, after the long break . Two weeks down, a lot happening. Well right now I have a bunch of guys hanging around, screaming at top of their voices like competing who can scream the loudest and jumping and dancing and  totally lost. Yeah a bunch of totally high hit dramatic boys. Hah, I've been recording the few of their acts, including their gay acts. It's funny though to watch them. Recorded and saved! :) United states of America ! My daughter studies in America , my parents are saying it aloud. But what exactly do I do? Hah. I love this picture which i stole it form someone's wall...--------...

Do everything grand, say it ...say it big. Come out with your best poems, add humor, laugh about it , worse you might be slapped. Slapped and loved. Don't be a bird in the cage.Your only safe, not happy. Give your life a little tinge of adventure, add color , add life, spread your wings , see out there, Go high get the kick and the thrill just by telling that you are in love.
