The alarm suddenly goes off with "oh sweet child of mine" booming loudly in the quite room. Oops... i must have pressed the snooze button i think to myself when i check the time: Its 7...
Oh shit, ive overslept, or have i got any sleep, i wonder. No time for lazy stretches today. I tumble out of bed, not realising then that its the wrong side... No breakfast for mee today...shessh... In a hurry to reach my destination on time, i forget to take my cell along... My bike wont start..the @$@#% activa...did we pay 30 grands for this?? And suddenly it springs to life...The roads seemed deserted, with a few exceptions ofcourse...and i wondered and thanked god for it too....heheeh!
I now wonder why i missed soo many signs...
"Oye its sunday ya!!!....wheres the rush...hehehhe!!!"...he yells from top floor.

The perfect match~~

I wonder how they must have found each other...for their diversity knows no bounds.They are the most unique people residing on this planet and they are opposite in every possible way. I must know, u may think, being their first born...but to tell ya the truth, even i am completely baffled as u are.
My mother a softy, a person my friends are at ease with...
My father a coconut, a rough exterior,but a sweet inside...
My mother a gentle disciplinarian..
My father a strict teacher...
My mother a great cook...
My father a great coach...
My mother a believer...
My father a critic...
My mother... My father...
They think differently, both of them. But what astoundes most is...how do they make the couple they are?...perennially complimenting each other, making up for the things the other may lack...
Truly...seeing them makes mee a believer...in destiny, in love, in the match the almighty has created for us to find...
Here's cheers to the Great one for creating the mostest perfect match there ever could have been possible... for i cannot imagine them with anyone else or without each other...and i am not saying this bcoz i am their child...but bcoz i now seem to understand the schemes we are all meant to be a part of...

Its not "fare"...

Thats what my t-shirt read...i wore it in the 8th or 9th maybe....i still have it...it is lime-hidious-green and my cousins loved it coz thats what they described mee as... an" its not fair"kinda person. "Totally wrong", i would defy and crib about it not being fair to label mee....which would futher prove their point.
Today im asking u folks...to simply go ahead answer these questions in ur brain if u can and see how many of the following situations u comply with...

It will pour during mid-summer when u have planned a wonderful evening out...
It will be extra hot esp. when u plan to excercise....
It will burn when it must caramalise....
It will come as a compulsory question only when u leave it for option...
It will close only when u suppose it must be open...
It will ask your best friend only when u have intentions...
It will appear only when ur totally bankupt and done with shopping...
It will dissapear from the shelves [and market for that matter] when ur looking for it....
It will be in sale only when u dont want it....
It will be too small or too large....
It will not work when u want it too....
and u can go on and on if u must...

but i rather not.....
For i know i have had my lucky moments which as human nature, many people who agree with most of wat ive written, tend to forget....Because im not the "its not fair" kinda person....im the person who faces the sunshine and lets her shadow fall behind, i perceive the glass half full and not half empty....thus i win the old arguement....now tell mee people isnt this just fair!!!
