Some people do it so effortlessly. <br>
I, on the other hand, don't know how to take care of myself. <br>
I forget to take my medicines when I have a bad fever. <br>
I forget the dietary restrictions. <br>
I indulge way too much in the things I like but are not good for me. <br>
<br>
I guess, somewhere deep down, <br>
I don't care about live long and grow old. <br>
<br>
I guess, this is why I walk around with this life-must-happen-now look which puzzles people. <br>

Every now and then, I see<br />

sometimes glib,<br />
often unabshed.<br />

I smile. <br />
<br />
When I am not too caught up;<br />
with the intrigues of life, <br />
I follow it around - idly;<br />
A voyeur in my own head.<br />
<br />
I frown.<br />
<br />
And in some lucid moments,<br />
I find, <b><i>Less</i></b> isn't too far off.<br />
A stalker,<br />
A necessary companion?<br />
<br />
I give in.<br />

How brave do you have to be to live your dream(s)? <br />

What's important? Suffering? Evading? Suffering in Style? Who decides?
When?<br />

Each day she cried. Not because she was gripped by this listless sorrow but
for there was never time. The to-do list, painfully and out of habit, grew
longer each day. The bucket got heavier.<br />

Saw this on Pinterest and went '(sigh) I knew there had to be a term for this strangely beautiful state...reminds of the time just before I wrote that poem...."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And then I found this, on Merriam- Webster and went 'Damn, why does everything beautiful, fun or exciting have to end up labelled crazy. "<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He opened the lunch box she had so painstakingly packed for him. He knew it wouldn't have finger-licking dishes inside. She had just started learning how to cook. Hunting for online recipes for beginners had become her new hobby. He appreciated the effort and he knew he would take back an empty box to show his acknowledgment.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the final container, he found a note saying:</div>
<div>
"I burnt the special dish that was supposed to go into this container and there was no time to start again. Thought I'd pack you some extra love instead.</div>

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dear you,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ours was not how most love stories start.
Not with cuckoos singing and the spring breeze blowing fragrant petals on our
faces or to be more realistic, not with stolen glances, secret smiles and
covert phone calls in the middle of the night; instead, in a gloomy depressing
place. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You had found the broken me -the scrap
that time had made me into, way beyond the state of recycling. You took me in
like a collector takes in, with cautious excitement a priceless
antique piece. You dusted, mended and brought back my shine. You made me yours
and worth much more than I ever thought I was.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I thought to thank you I would write you a love story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(Since this world is clearly can no longer sustain a real one)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I wrote something grand and beautiful;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Something that the heart aches for and yet knows to be unreal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With a lovelorn hero and his beloved,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With all the odds against them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But all the odds are fought and all the demons slain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And they make theirs a happily ever after.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You read, appreciated but insisted that we live it
instead. So began our ‘Once upon a time…’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next, I thought I’d write you a love letter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(Since the spoken word doesn’t always come out the 'write' way)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I wrote something out of the deepest corners of my heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It read beautifully and brought tears in my own eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With poignant poetic words and noble intention promised,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The scented letter lay by your side as you slept.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You read, appreciated and carried on with your day.
Disappointed and gloomy eyed, I went on with my day. It is only before I almost
found myself asleep at night that I realised that you don’t write me letters you
just simply make each day a new love letter for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Living our story,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Note: The following are 5 incidents of
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 17px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">❤</span> at first sight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u>The Message</u></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">They walked through the congested lanes hand in hand. Picking up random books and smelling through the old stained pages, cursing their empty pockets. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At one of those nondescript stores, on one of those pre-owned binds, in awkward but sincere letters, the couple read, with choked breaths and unmoving eyes:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“This note was supposed to be the beginning of a great love story. But I just learnt that you don’t read. Not that this book is not your favorite book. But that your eyes can only see darkness and from today so can my heart. ” </span><br />

<div>
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></u></b><br />
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Assassin</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">And through his steady sniper scope, he could see his victim. Shortly, she would be shot and kill him forever. For in an instant, his heart chose to love, he chose to kill.</span></div>
<br />
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><u><br /></u></span></b><br />
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><u>She, Years Later</u></span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Days of anxious preparations were,
finally, coming to an end. A few more words and the ‘much awaited’ would be
over. The unveiled new bride glanced through the room in sheer excitement of
the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Their eyes might have met then. Someone somewhere regrets that evening to this
day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">It </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">wasn't</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> <i>him</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u>The Rescue</u></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was drenched and hoping for the incessant
rain to subside. It wasn’t a pleasant wait under the park bench. Something
caught my attention. Distinct heavy footsteps were closing in. I turned around
to see you already bent down, eyes teeming with adoration, arms moving towards
me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The rest is
history. We were meant to be inseparable. It’s not for nothing that they call
dogs man’s best friend.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For the last three weeks, since the
first time I saw you in that art gallery, I have lost all desires to live life
as I had known it before. All that I could do was to hope that you would at
least come to see the artist’s rendition of yourself on the canvas. The art gallery became my necessary haunt.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

I saw the <em>sliver</em> of rainbow cake </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Stuck to your silky beard.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I saw the growing inches </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
under my wavering belt.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I saw "us" going <em>downhill</em></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
when the cake I managed to steal.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
The spring seems to be over and</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
The birds would sing "deciet".</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
It was, of course, your birthday</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
and the crumbs lay on your beard...</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Would cake do us part or death?</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
It's time to put our holy ties to a test.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
And oh! like a frenzied <em>freak</em>,</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Did I leap for the blessed piece of cake.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
The rest remains history and</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
an icey one at that.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

You know I stare at you.<br />
Today I want to stare at you while you are doing your thing,<br />
smiling your charming little smile.<br />
I want to experience the entire process-<br />
Of your facial muscles flexing,<br />
your glorious 'fair' skin stretching<br />
and tightening around your cheeks;<br />
(Is there a slight hint of a dimple?)<br />
Nostrils flaring momentarily,<br />
and your eyes, as they squint,<br />
with those mesmerizing eye-lashes<br />
gather around them the wrinkles,<br />
Cheeks brighten as they rise<br />
lips playfully rise and<br />
the bright sparklies failing to hide the shyness<br />
you'd want me not to see.<br />
I want to see all of this<br />
and then<br />
...<br />

It's that time of the year when I feel like writing a girly-girl post again. Well, if anyone has read <span style="font-family: Arial,Arial,Helvetica;"><a href="http://amropali.blogspot.com/2010/01/25-random-things-about-me.html">25 random things about me</a> </span><br />
<pre class="exampletext"><a href="http://amropali.blogspot.com/2010/01/25-random-things-about-me.html" target="25 random things about me"><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial,Helvetica;"></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial,Helvetica;"><a href="http://amropali.blogspot.com/2010/01/25-random-things-about-me.html" target="25 random things about me"></a></span></pre>
they would know that <span style="color: black;">my birthday is on Dec.18 and "it's one of the hugest deal in the world to me."</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> So, with less than a month left for the day, I've prepared a checklist for myself which I think will help me enjoy my birthday more.Although some of the things on the list may seem absolutely irrelevent, it all makes perfect sense in my head. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;">Here's the list:</span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Splurge on a birthday dress. Splurge on two. <i>(check)</i></li>
<li>Stop the gastronomical indulgences till the birthday for you want the dress(es) to fit you perfectly on your birthday too. <i>(check)</i></li>
<li>Act your crazy head out about a month ahead of time (we all have to
let the steam out from time to time ) so that you are your charming old
self n people don't think you are a b%##^^ on your birthday.<i>(check)</i></li>
<li>Start making subtle reference to your birthday in conversations with friends so they don't forget the date. <i>(on going)</i></li>
<li>Don't give any clues as to what you want on your birthday if you are surprisophilic. <i>(on going)</i></li>
<li>Go slow on the social interactions with your 'usual' people. You won't
enjoy the day if you have been getting an overdose of social
gatherings and 'happy', ' happening' times. Abstinence is the word. <i>(on going)</i></li>
<li>Reconnect with the friends whom you've not spent much time with of
late. Reminisce. You'd be surprised how fulfilling these meets would
be. Don't overdo it.<i> (on it)</i></li>
<li>Don't take any sudden whimsical leaves from work. I know we(especially you) all do it once in a while owing to the I-don't-give-a-smelly-rat's-ass-about-how-pissed-my-boss-would-be-if-I-take-the-day-off-today moods.
You need the money (for you've already splurged on the dress and a check on gastronomical indulgence doesn't mean stop eating! ) and they won't really be happy if you
are celebrating your birthday at the company's expense. <i>(fighting strong urges not to)</i></li>
<li>
Give your beloved some space. A lot of it, in fact. 'Distance makes the hearts go fonder', anyone? Only then, anticipation of
the long awaited hug on your birthday would be worth it. <i>(ongoing)</i></li>
<li>
Since you have cut down on the socializing go for solitary morning
walks. Winter mornings have the curious ability to suddenly activate
your dormant-god-knows-since-when neurons and you feel awesomely smart
throughout the day. <i>(check)</i></li>
<li>
Just before the D-day finish reading a book that touches you so deeply that you cry for hours and come out of it with just the
right cathartic effect.<i> </i>The smile on your birthday will then be liberating.<i> (not yet)</i></li>
<li>
Get a pedicure, you'd need your soles if you wanna dance the night away on the Day. <i>(not yet)</i></li>
<li>Get a nice ooh-la-la(NOT <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dirty_Picture">The Dirty Picture</a> fame) haircut. You don't want your hair to look like forgotten dirty a broom (not even worth a penny in Horwarts) while the rest of you is looking (if not a million) a few thousand bucks worth. <i>(research on)</i></li>
<li>
Work. Don't procrastinate at least for some days before your birthday.
That way the days would pass faster and you won't have a lot of pending
work when you can really do with some presenteeism at work on/post D-day. <i>(on it. :-/ )</i></li>
</ul>
