touche pussycat!

so they've now decided that reservation is required even in the Lokpal institution.. brilliant move i must say.. its the perfect way to ensure that the discussion on corruption and black money will get sidetracked into the the opportunity vs merit drama of a reservation policy debate..

as it is, pranab babu's lecture in parliament today sounded more like a 'f*** you' to the protesting public rather than an introduction to or comment about the lokpal bill.. "the parliament is supreme and all authority to legislate rests with parliament!"
sure it does.. and we would appreciate it if you lot got off your asses and actually did some work for a change.

i've been dreaming of a true love's kiss

true love conquers all.. so they say

what does anyone know about these things anyway

we're all ultimately drowning in the ocean of our own pain and insecurities, wishing for something to hang on to..

i guess ;love conquers all' makes a good hypothetical lifeline...

blurry images

I'm usually the hiding behind a book rather than speaking out.. i sometimes leave my phone aside and not call/text friends for several days just because i feel like disappearing into a book or the TV or just bask in the sun by myself..


but sometimes i feel this strange emptiness... like something vital is missing.. like there's a part of me that has gotten lost...
 

outrage v privacy... that's the question

to which i must find a satisfactory answer... 

to say something in public that affects privacy 

to not say something for the sake of privacy even though you're bursting to register your opinion...

choices choices choices..........

on an unrelated note... owl is now MARRIED!!!!!!!!! meri bhabhi ghar aa gayi :)

do you know what day it is today???

They’ve started to come more often.. encircling me, flying around my little hideout and threatening to tear away my very existence.. I fight against them every single time.. cowering farther into the caves, fighting desperately to get out…


it’s the dark that is slowly creeping up from both sides.. it hems me in as I fight it, it creeps from inside the caves I shelter in… and light seems far away.. I see glimpses of stars in the night before they swoop in again, blacking out the stars.. sucking away warmth and happiness from my world… I’d read about creatures like those in a different lifetime.. Dementors.. who take away everything leaving only an empty shell behind… everything, including one’s soul.. I just hope I have a soul left to fight for…

Happy Diwali to everyone!!!!!!

diwali meant:

crackers bought  a week beforehand and hidden in a cupboard to be given to me a day or two before diwali
kaju ki burfi, and a small box of plain burfi just for me
family gatherings
warnings to not get too close to the crackers
laughter and a resigned 'humne bhi aise hi kiya hai" when i proudly said i wanted bombs and not childish phuljharis and anars...


diwali isn't the same without you babaji...
