Torn..

Torn..

Between the foolish musings of the heart
And the sound judgement of the mind..

Between the reminiscences of the good old days
And the promises of the forthcoming..

Between the distress of unfulfilled dreams
And the content of the ones attained..

Between the repentance of the words spoken
And the anguish of those left unsaid..

Between the elation of life in an alluring country
And the loved ones forsaken in another..

Between the reveries of what could have happened
And the absoluteness of what has..

The weirdos..

Whats with these Andhra weirdos? They keep landing on my blog searching for this (click to enlarge).




I even removed the U-word from the post, but google still has it in cache (don't want to mention the word here, otherwise I'll have a hoard of them coming in to this post). I still have atleast one hit per day by one of these idiots.

What the heck!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr..

The smileys..

As you know, I use a lot of smileys in my posts. I didn't realize that some people didn't understand what they were until mom told me last year. Since then I've been meaning to write a post on the smileys I use and what they mean, but never got around to it till now. Well better late than never:

Smiley	Meaning
:)	Smile
:)))	Laugh
:(	Sad
;-)	Wink
:-D	Grin
:-\	Confused
:-p	Tongue
:-O	Surprised
>:-)	Devil

Let me know if I have missed any :).

The conversation..

He: I think we should have 3 or 4 more kids..
She: Lets get over this one first.

!!!

Split second..

I wrote this one a few months back, somehow never posted it. Doesn't really feel upto the mark to some of my others, but oh well, its still my effort :).

Split second..

A snowflake
On the ground
Melting into a tear-drop;
An ember
In the fireplace
Burning to ashes non-stop;

A raindrop
From a cloud
Falling to its demise;
A sound wave
Part of a thunder
Losing clarity after its rise;

A ray of sunlight
In the west
Fading away to the horizon;
A fallen leaf
On the grass
Oblivious to its destruction;

An insignificant life
On this earth
Well-lived and well-wished;
A moment
Of ticking time
Remembered and relished;

The out-going..

I've never been one for going out (err, I mean the party kind, not the travel kind obviously). But these days we are making a point of socializing, if not for us, for Snugli's sake. And every time I do and I meet people, I somehow feel that I'm not on the same wavelength as them. Don't take me wrong, they are all nice, but somehow there's always something missing. I can't always expect to meet people my age. But since when does same age mean same wavelength? Sometimes I think I'm too judgemental (especially when it comes to parenting, but thats for another bigger topic, I'm talking really big here :-D). I never used to be this way. I'm a person who gets along with everybody most of the time. Maybe too much isolation has resulted in this. Sri says I'll be alright once we get to meet people more times, but I'm not so sure. I long for my friends, the friends I had and the friends I made myself. But sometimes I'm scared that things will be different with them too. Am I the only one who feels this way?
