Sunday,
I so thought of you...
The preconceived notions of spending you ideally...
crossed my mind... when working late hours...
And then you knocked! Knocked at the doors of my mind.
And I wake up to a day,with filtered sunshine...holding an umbrella of clouds I have barely got out of bed, but I know... I am not letting you go, that easily...!!
Somehow, I can never give up on the hardcore--Feminist.... that I am...
8th March 2012--- amidst Holi and International Women's Day...got so confused...that I preferred to sit back and read something!!
How would an ideal Women's Day in a country like India be?
Especially...on an occasion like Holi, where going out on roads alone is forbidden...because wolves are out there ....you can't think of walking alone at odd hours....if you do that..you are odd for that matter...!
You can't wear short dresses---(WE ARE NOT Talking about the one's who can)...but I am sure a million would just wish to wear a beautiful skirt on a sunny day, or a pair of shorts with a bright t-shirt...
Every mother, says this to her adolescent daughter at some point---" If you will not cut your wings....you will fly, and dare you do, because if you will you would be outcast-ed, relatives will not accept you, no one will marry you (as if it is her only aim), worst case you could be raped, if you'd not stop....Stop to dream, aim".
And so she sits back....!!
And with time, she learns to put aside...everything...her desires, dreams, dresses she wished to wear...and she kills the 3 D's in life......
To the hypocrite society....that boasts off change...!
Travel or speak to someone very basic....and you can so conclude...that we are running 30 years behind when it comes to being just to the womenfolk...!
A friend in London tells me, its all OK there...
Life is fair
Life is hassle free
Life is smooth,
Everyone is an equal, girls/women/females party all night...do whatever they want...and as he tells me this....I picture the story here....
Out all night....yeah yeah...in your dreams,it might be !
All fair...looks like fair when you view it from the upper circuit/strata of society....but the system....our way of dealing with this issue has been unfair otherwise...
And the more I think...the more I feel miserable because I cannot go door to door and change mentalities....
So , today ....when I should be rather sitting with my girlfriends and grabbing a piece of Blueberry Chesse Cake....I am sinking and sulking with thoughts of disgust and despair...!
I enjoy the freedom I have....always had..but somehow it would have been better if we all did....if all the birds were free...and not caged, chained...!!
I am not a fairy to paint the town all white and pure.....
so here I end...!!
This one's a song....that so describes US!!
and wouldn't be any better than Billy Joel telling us....."She's Always a Woman"!!
I started seeing FRIENDS, probably from 7th standard.
Back then....It was funny, but totally coudn't get the gravity of it.....probably was too young to get emotionally attached to it. I loved Joey the most....probably he was the only one whose jokes I could decipher and laugh upon ....;)
During college.....when everyone started seeing it..I was almost done with all the seasons....
and for some reason, I never bothered to ever watch it again...
And then....time took a roll, life moved on, until now, when there's a set job.
I am totally enjoying this new financial independence... which is no where in comparison to the meager TA I used to get during Masters....and it does makes you feel awesome!
I normally do not practice work from home, so coming back to my den, is always a good feeling, I just pick a book to read, or if there is an urge to pen down something, I do that....or just watch some random series in my hard disk.
When it comes to series....
Dexter is done for now...though it is totally one of a kind....but for Dexter, I'll write some other day...
Modern Family is OK now with season 3....
Stopped watching How I Met Your Mother...It's more of like How I met all the Crap in my Life.....;)
The Big Bang Theory is slowly approaching towards an emotional madhouse...
Two and a Half Men has lost its sheen without SHEEN.....Kutcher is a Katchra :D
Sherlock is just a 3 episode season....Can do nothing about it!
So I found the ten seasons of FRIENDS in my hard disk....and thought why not...See it again!!
Season 1....Ah ya it goes....
Season 2...Interesting
Season 3....Was wondering i have almost forgotten what I watched way back...
and so on and so forth...
Last night, I just finished the 10th season...and realized I so did not wanted it to end...
Nothing like FRIENDS has been ever made, or I suppose would be ...infact every series somewhere follows the same concept, format.....and when you analyze them, they all fall apart in front of FRIENDS
It will always be an epic...!!
And somehow, after so many years, of growing up, having an extended family of people I'd be dead without apart from my parents....I so can relate every person I am close to with FRIENDS....
Ross..His character grows with time, but the situations make a perfect comic of him....and well, you so feel like saying,...such a miserable character...he is...but he totally is the best actor amongst all....and Ross is close because I have a Ross in my life too....the best friend you can't do without....you would need him...in every pitfall...and every rise...because you are so emotionally connected....!
Ross's Dental Bleach "the white teeth/date incident"
Joey...How you doin/? the casanova with no brains....some phrases like a " moo point" or his attention deficit disorder....or the Fuzzball Table...or the baby chick and the BABY DUCK....:D...I can go on and on about Joey...makes me wonder do I have a Joey in my life....No...there is no one..and so it was just Joey....there was a series just based on JOEY after FRIENDS got over...but it could not reach the zenith that FRIENDS did.
How you doin?
Chandler...witty, the unlaughable jokes...the one who acted cold..but was the warmest of them all....the humorous office incidents.....the inseparable bond with Joey...Monica....
There's a Chandler that exists around..someone who worships work, but when it comes to humor...can make your stomach burst laughing with his witty, silly jokes...and how much he acts cold, we all know he has a huge warm heart!!
The pink bunny "Chandler"
Monica-- the control freak...everything neat and tidy, organized....so much that it gets on to her..like a Disease...leading to many hilarious situations...and I so love the bond Monica and Chandler share....and the girl gang....Monica and Rachel....so reminds me of the only bestest girl friend I have....she being the monitor of everything I do....guarding my personnel interests...at times diving straight into them, and how much I hate intervention, I totally cannot proceed without her consent.....guys especially!! I doubt my decisions, but I can blindly count on hers on personnel issues....
The big fat Monica
Rachel......I think she brings class to the ensemble....with GUCCI, Louis Vitton and the Big Fashion World....I ain't a big Rachel fan though, but I am sure every guy has had a huge crush on her....
Always messed up.....Rachel!!
Phoebe..... I so love Phoebe...and Smelly Cat...:D
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat
It's not your fault
They won't take you to the vet
You're obviously not their favorite pet
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault
From her background, to the way she is, weird, mad but so full of life....Phoebe makes the entire scene crazy....and everyone who knows me, closely, knows I am their Phoebe....but I assure...I'll never sing Smelly Cat... !!
Phoebe and her songs!!
FRIENDS past few months, was like an all new watch, and I could relate to it in someway or the other....finishng the last Season, was so nostalgic and I wished my group of 5 favourite people were around.......
The series ends with Walk On by U2......one of my favourites!!
Dedicated to my FRIENDS... for a run for money time and life time of memories...and for moments yet to come...
Its 11 :30 pm, the day is almost set to say goodbye…to itself, me too, and then being all busy I realized seeing FB all red, google all doodled up and TOI gone all crazy----it’s Valentine’s day!
And it just passed away, hmmmm, not that I have been particularly fond of it, but still----
So, don't know why, I open up this old playlist ofthe most romantic songs ever.
You know the one’s that will always have---
Hello by Lionel Richie
Nothing’s gonna change my love by Glen Medeiros
Right here waiting by Richard Marx…
Leave a Tender Moment by Billy Joel
Let’s not get into it, it’s a 100 song playlist---
Talk about cupid,
Whenever I have stood with a bow and an arrow towards someone, either the bow was faulty, or the arrow struck the wrong one---or the worst case scenario----they both broke!!
And whenever the arrow was pointed at me, I made sure it never hit me or I ran away a zillion miles—
So equals all!!
Today, for the moment---I am not missing particularly a date, a person, people, mishaps, agonies, why this- why that moments---
I feel so contented with everything—that has happened so far---and that will happen!!
And I so love myself for feeling this ways---
So this day---is for me!
And as I read somewhere—
"Real love happens when you don’t need anybody"----and I so do not!!
