The world is catching up

Dont you sometimes wonder about this ever-changing world - and that it would
be difficult for oldies to match pace with it?

Well, I think so at times. Even at my age (which is not too much btw), I sometimes
find it difficult to relate to kids have boy/girlfriends in class 3 or class 5 (whats with
that!!??).. or to see hardly year old babies press the right buttons on the laptops.
The younger generations are moving way too fast. It must be really harder on
generations previous to mine to catch up with this speed.

But not so apparently. Well my mom shocked me during my vacation by asking me
to bring me a man home instead of a woman! lol Well, its not catching up in the true
sense - but she at her age understanding the pace at which we are running and that
we are susceptible to adapt to the changing tunes is amazing. It still is pretty much
taboo in India to talk about same-sex relationships and topics are not broached
normally in the living room with the entire clan present.

But I guess she has no choice than to move with the times and atleast acknowledge
the changes if not accept them. I think I would had a mild cardiac arrest had she said
she wouldn't mind my partner being a female as long as she was human... lol

So long...

Tell me how
do birds fly
Tell me when
will the earth come to an end
Tell me where
one doesnt feel scared
Tell me why
is blue the color of the sky
Tell me who
puts a smile on you,
when the day is gloom
Tell me why
do flowers bloom..
I will find these answers
on my own..
but will you tell me
why is a simple soul
so blown?

Coupla lines

I waited
for you to be online..
I waited
for you to sing me a line..
I waited
for you to coochie-coo
I waited
for you to say "i love you"

A weird place

the human mind. It automatically tunes in to the near future
and when it is reached - wants to go back in the recent past :-)

The new face

of Pune... my hometown.. where I grew up amidst
lush green trees and spacious gardens... where I
had peace with the sparse traffic.. where cultural
programs and musical dusks-to-dawn enthralled
the audiences.

The most striking change I saw over the weekend
were the amazing lounges, bars and discs that have
come up in the city. Went to this place called Kiva
and it was pretty decent (though not as good as some
of the lounges in good ol' Bangalore).. but yeah, good
when you dont expect them in that place.
And there are many such places around now.. so.. Njoi!

In an ideal world...

I would work 2 weeks and vacation 50!

Wishful thinking I know. But can't help wishing
a longer vacation.. and its just begun. hehe...
Anywho.. have fun.
