drama queen

day 1
get to office with a terrible cold. the ac is working here so my nose is practically dysfunctional. unable to speak, i am envisioned as a shy and quite person.
get food poisoned by the lemonade they provide. suffer from shooting pain in the stomach for more than four hours.
day 2
had to take a call( a telephonic interview) of some IT major dude. and get the stuff written in first person perspective!! then i was given six news stories to edit and re write and two other small articles to complete!!!
the cold and the ac are still on so now the speech defect thingy is hinting at arrogance.( ayyo)
as i stayed muddled up in this, my system decided to crash not once or twice but a total of seven times!!!!!!! arahgghhhh.
the lemonade is tested for safety and proves of little difficulty.
in great rush, i finish a transcription and submit my hard work only to receive a toothy grin from my boss saying he gave me the wrong tape!
he gives a bundle of books with orders to work from home :(
day 3
get to office real late cos i was up till one finishing home work!!!!( home work.. get it?? ha ha )
get my official first warning from a RECEPTIONIST!!!!! hmmphm.
my cold is still very strong so my new image for the day is mentally dumb and slow!!
as i wait for the lemonade guy to arrive, i get some otherwork done super quick.. now im getting used to the editing and transcription real fast... and so think i can leave early.
so i get ready to push off of to my friends sis wedding, boss asks me to cover an assignment about academia and the IT industry!!
head to the royal orchid wearing a dress fit to be worn only at home with a sling bag that has seen most of my years in college.
as i sit and endure the one hour panel discussion, my mouth not being used to this much silence, my mind wanders as i imagine myself in my happy place.
as the discussion concludes, i go around, the pr intoduces me to other people there.
" moi. editorial. the smart techie. silicon india"
ahhhhh... everything fell right back to place then.
day 4
the cold has moderated to a more husky and nicer sounding voice
and as i sit at my desk, enjoying the view outside, i prepare myself for the long and not so easy road ahead...my lemonade has arrived, ciao.

please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape ...

have you ever felt strangely peaceful. when everything in your life falls into place, even if only for that fraction of a moment. when you feel like every moment in your life was conspired so that you could end up in that moment. where you cant feel anything, except a warm feeling, like how you felt when the gaintwheel reached the tip and you heart did a flip anticipiating the next moment, filling the space between your heart to stomach to fingers... something unexplainable and you seek for none.

then you spend hours trying to put everything you feel into words. after two hours you do what you knew you were eventually going to do with the post all along. delete. aahhhh... nobody will understand anyway. my moment.

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

to a new beginning




As you set out for Ithaka
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
angry Poseidon-don't be afraid of them:
you'll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
wild Poseidon-you won't encounter them
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you're destined for.
But don't hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you're old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you've gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you wouldn't have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you'll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

memories

a last walk down the graveled road
a last look at the home of yesterday
a last smile, a last wish
a hurried last scrible on paper.
the heavens gave way
the loudest shower ever
everybody left and yet they stayed
letting the water form the puddles

a last run through the court
a last laugh that echoed through the empty fields
a last shot, a last shout
a last they ll ever see

the last hug, the last smile
the last goodbye.
the last rain, like never before
ah... its all washed away now.
