പ്രസവാവധി കഴിഞ്ഞ്
എന്റെ കാവ്യഭാവന തിരിച്ചുവന്നു
കുഞ്ഞെന്താ - ആണോ പെണ്ണോ ...?
അത് ചത്തുപോയി .
*        *       *       *
പുകവലിക്കുമോ നിങ്ങള്‍ ?
സ്മോക്ക്‌ ലെസ്സ് ചിമ്മിനികള്‍ ഉള്ളതുകൊണ്ട്
അടുപ്പിലെ പുകപോലുമില്ല
മദ്യം ? ഇനിയും തുടങ്ങാമല്ലോ ....
പുക മണക്കാത്ത, മദ്യപിക്കാത്ത
താടി പോലും വളരാത്ത
(ഇതെന്റെ തെറ്റല്ല തീര്‍ച്ച !)
നിയ്യോ കവി ? നടന്നതു  തന്നെ!

ഉപമ ,ഉത്പ്രേക്ഷ ,കാകളി , മഞ്ജരി ?
ആ അവസാനം പറഞ്ഞവളെ അറിയാം
നേരിട്ടല്ല ,ഓര്‍ക്കുട്ട് ഫ്രണ്ട് ആണ് ...
രക്ഷയില്ല -അബോര്‍ഷന്‍!

Murphy rules!

what day is it?

I don't need you. Let me think. Yeah got it, dad's not gone to work, so rule out the week days. Hey dumbo, dad doesn't work anymore, he has retired.

All right , leave aside dad, even mum is at home ( she's not retired....right?). So i was not wrong in the first place.

Idiot,can't you see that you are also home? the unshaven, disgruntled, not bathed-for-ages look makes me doubt if it is actually me. But clearly the orkut account says Neeraj and nobody in the world will ever guess your password. So it's me alright.. But,why the hell are you here.? think harder....

gotcha!

CHRISTMAS- you came home for Christmas . So where's Christmas? no,it's not over. You had cakes but you know it's not over. How...?well, for one thing your inbox is not full of x'mas trees.

that means x'mas is around the corner. Where does that leave you? where was i anyway? Yeah right- in pursuit of 'what day is it'....

X'mas doesn't happen on the 4th sunday of december, like mothers' day or black panthers' day(i thought it'll rhyme with mothers). So no use in spotting Christmas.

How about going down and strongarming your brother for the day's newspaper.? But they say history repeats. That means you won't be talking to him for another whole day. Not a bad proposition given your current mood. Let's put this idea in the reserve.

you suggest googling?

right i will do it....

done-

what day is it?

google search result:

"Gil the ant thinks all of his friends have forgotten his special day! Have they, or are they planning a special surprise?"

there has to be an easier way.

my antivirus pops up and says"It is 5:30 pm ,wednesday 23rd December- the scheduled scan begins now"

Aah tragedy! if i had a minute more.....

that's how life is..... Everyone lives his own version of Murphy's law.

vacation as usual

Some chapters are quite tough to learn- for me inorganic chemistry was one such, it was dull, plain and without the thrill one associate with its more dynamic cousin , organic chemistry. Then there was fourier transforms- you always have to apply the same lengthy formula over and over until the pain of redundancy forces you to accept that inorganic chemistry was better.

Some things are tough to learn in life too.Ok, I know i promised myself a more cheerful post last time. So i am not going to brood over something that is quite out of my control now. And i don't want anybody's sentiments. That can only make things worse.

So think of yourself going back to the college after vacation and if somebody asks you "hey dude, how was the vacation?", how will you answer?: Mornings were easy, because i never saw them, and afternoons arrived pretty fast as my nap saved me at least 4 hrs of the brunt of being in a society. Now, you switched on the computer, chatted with god-knows-whom , fought with somebody over orkut, played the same old FIFA , tried watching hollywood .... and now your eyes are heavy. You lie down to sleep, but it still doesn't happen, you go out and drink some water. You look at the clock, you turn around in the bed,you try some music even though you know it doesn't help you. So the time is something like 3'0 clock. Time for drastic action- you remove you shirt,lie down on the cool granite without even a sheet. You are comfortable at last. Suddenly, you recall somebody telling you that lying on cold floors can cause rheumatism. No,you don't want that, you crawl back to bed. This goes on and on.......

Now,nobody wants to hear that stuff. Tell him that you went trekking, or that you went to a distant uncle's house where you'd a pretty teenager as your neighbour or tell him that your mango tree had started sprouting jackfruits , or that your cousin had eloped with a film star........

there'll be takers for those things.

If something actually happened, that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Why don't i go out and meet my cousins who are all within a diameter of a 1000 metres.? Not a bad idea at all. I don't find them silly nor am flustered by their enquiries......still i don't know why.

i am jealous,like hell i am!

congratulations buddy! i am glad for you,iam happy that you got that placement finally. You really deserved it. It was only a matter of time before you cracked it.Now,let's talk about the treat.....

I wish i could talk like that. But unfortunately, i am jealous. I don't want to acknowledge this, but i do have a pretty huge ego. And that thing is indeed hurt when i hear of all these placement(ugh..! i hate this term) news.Why are the companies missing our college's name? All the colleges(whether big or small, govt or self- financing)- everyone has had visits from some companies... But our college still maintains the virginity, nobody- not even a stupid

BPO company has paid us a visit.And the companies that have promised to come are quite bluntly saying that they don't want people with backpapers. So i stand no chance even if they do come.

So the only job i have been shortlisted for is to burn in jealousy for everything that happens around me.

Hope next time i can write about more pleasant things.

PS: congrats to Rakesh(IBM) and Deepa(CTS) for arousing my jealousy.....
