The woman on the train was chatting away regardless of whether anyone was interested or not...her soliloquoy on Hindi movie scripts 'borrowed' from Hollywood was at best without an ounce of accuracy...Reminded me of the Annie Hall sequence at the theatre and I could be Woody Allen!

Every morning, in the rush of the hour, the deep blue sea fills me with a sense of calm.

I started a new phase in my life...professionally that is. Each time I make a change in my life...its like stirring a hornet's nest of existential questions. It somehow compels me to undertake a journey to unravel aspects of me and my life rather than just sticking to the job at hand...am still on that rollercoaster waiting for respite!

The week passed in a daze...a nice kind of delirium. Have travelled to the extremes and back...walking right on the middle of my tightrope again.

Begging...with style!

I am Karishma and Madhuri every morning for the eunuchs at the traffic lights....I don't get any pleasure out of the compliment (?) and they don't get any money out of me....

There is an old blind man I see on the station steps each night...he seems to be blessing the world (why?). Does he bless you because you gave him money or did you give him money because he blessed you?

We all beg.
"Dahlin' I chipped my nail...its so depressing. Lets go shopping?" or "Dad I failed Music appreciation...time to get a better Music System?" or "Boss that party I invited you for...Can't afford it if you don't give me a raise!"

We were meant to be soulmates. I mean meant. We are so alike aren't we??? The part of me that you know is the part of you in me. You don't want to see the others...the mes in me. You did catch a glimpse this time and did I notice you cringing? It could have been...but soul mates without soul?

Its time to jump into the deep end again...the waters could be shark infested but that only time will tell!!!

Can there be an unconditional friendship...a friendship where 6000 miles melt? Thanks for breaking myths and for being there!

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in - the city of cities
Lonely as I am, together we cry we cry we cry

I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love - take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love - take me all the way

I drive on the streets, 'cos he's my companion
I walk through his fields, 'cos he knows who I am
He sees my good day, then he kisses me windy
I never worry - now that's a lie

I don't ever want to feel ……

It's hard to believe there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have his love - the city he loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I don't ever want to feel…..
