A Tequila Sunrise
Wind on her face
A man's silhouette
The glint of glass

Red and gold on raven black
The clink of ice cubes
The screech of passing seagulls

Waves ebb and rise
The sea sighs
A memory flits by -

The song fades.

- Original poem by Me :)

So here I am inspired by my colleague - Sanjay's ode to his hair, shampoo and conditioner - I mean its amazing that somebody can write about such mundane thungs in life.

Well anyways, back to what I was inspired into writing about - last night I just could not sleep - See I normally sleep by around 12pm - and I have been trying, desperately, to wake up early, cook my lunch, go for a walk, etc etc. - bascially have a life outside of my work.

So last night I tried to go to sleep at 11pm - but darn it I just couldn't sleep.

So I tried to follow all those things that I've read in various magazines - I tried to relaxxxx

Step 1 - I put on some jazz, lit some aroma therapy candles, switched off the light and snuggled into my bed.But in about 2 minutes I found my toes wiggling to "Canteloop" and then next I jumped out of bed and started to, don't laugh, dance :)

It was quite nice too - those magazines are good - candlelight, nice smelling room - the only little problem was that I wasn't relaxxxing!!So hmmm...I'm now thinking what to do now - this isn't helping - I'm like wide awake!! And it's now 11:30pm.

Moving on to Step 2 - I thought I'd do some internet surfing - but was soon pushed back into my room by my brotherwho said go close your eyes, and sleep!! It's 11:30pm! Like I didn't Know that!!! Huh!

Anyways, I figured that I didn't really want to go sit in front of a computer, so that I could sleep, so that I could get up early, to have a life beyond sitting in front of the computer!! :)

Ok, so Step 3 - I thought I'd have a nice relaxxing bath followed by a warm glass of milk - supposed towork wonders according to Cosmo.

Which is what I did and felt much better thank you - very fresh....Sleepy? Hmmmmm...

My mum wakes up in the midst of all this, and advises me to read a book - always helps..

So I pick up "Flashpoint", a good book I've been trying to read for a while. Things seem to be working - atleast I'm lying down..

But in around 5 minutes, I sit up - the plot just got real interesting - way too interesting to belying down at least!

I realise what's going on and think, now what I do!!?

In between all these "Steps" I've been wandering into the drawing room - where my dog sleeps.All my meandering has had him opening one eye, looking at me sleepily, and then settling back.I'm thinking - Why exactly do they say it's a dog's life?

Determined, I settle back down and continue reading.In about two minutes dog trots in and jumps onto my bed, snuggling himself against me.

Now this is different - he usually doesn't do this.

Anyways, glad for the respite and affection, I pat his head, and keep reading.

I don't know when exactly, but suddenly I'm all sleepy, and my eyelids are feeling realll heavy....I'm so comfortable..

This mornig I wake up - and my dogs comes running in to my room wagging his tail - Almost like he is asking - did I help?

And the I realise - the little fella had almost taken pity on me and said ok! I'll show you the ropes - what you really need is some TLDC (ternder loving doggie care) :))

Ciao! :)

His Eye

2006-10-18T15:52:00.000+05:30

the lock of hair over his eye

that eye dark and gleaming

the gleam that speaks of an unspoken thought

that thought that hangs in the air

the air that crackles when he walks my way

that walk like a cat stalking his prey

the prey who admires and waits for hours

that hour like an eternal sigh

the sigh that escapes from my heart

that heart who yearns for his smile

the smile that lights up his eye.

To Earn to Spend to earn to spend to earn to spend............

Sometimes I think our life is divided into two parts - Working to earn money and shopping to spend that money. :)
Its almost like smoking - Smokers have a light for a temporary high and people like me and my friends go shopping for retail therapy.
You slog your butt off five days a week, working a 60 hour week and at the end of it all what do you do?
Well go buy something of ourse! Whether its a holiday or a pair of pants that you well, just gotta have...
Strange..we spend what 60% of our lives working to then just get a temporary respite where we actually LIVE and do what the stuff that drives us to work in the first place!!
Are we all Mad or what???

A time for self expression

This blog exists because of my new found need to express myself. I often feel that I am so different from people but then I also see how common I am!
People amaze me....And this blog will probably refelct my inner thoughts during these moments :))
