Needy

Hold too tight...And it's gone

The essence and the core

Grasping. groping, greedy hands

Forever needy and demanding

Never getting, since they nag so

Others do, since they matter

Since they try and have no ego

Since they don't think too much

Since they just let it go

No child like stubborness

Or adult type grief

The kind that makes you stamp you feet

Or revert in stony silence

That hurts

Since you want to sit up

To be taken notice of

To matter

Needy and desperate

The essential words here

Let it be..Let it be

It's evanescent after all

WOMEN AND SPORTS

Sports..and since the IPL fever is going on..one wonders if it is just a MAN thing..u know all adrenaline, macho and foolish and scantily clad cheerleaders. My sister loves, adores and breathes IPL..but rest of the time..she will watch DID and ignore all the test and ODI matches.

IPL is like a bug and not that i am complaining, i mean hey, we're pumping in millions of black money into our coffers, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and Shashi Tharoor chooses this time to have an affair and Lalit Modi has run away..with a bunch of cheerleaders probably. But then, I am hardly bothered..all this opposition to the IPL is probably funded by opposition parties, just like the singur and nano issue.

But my blog here is about women and their reaction to sports of different kinds..

Lagna - " Uff..I just don't get the idea of 11 men running behind one ball and hitting that ball and going wooo"

Lagna - " F1 is so stupid, just a bunch of cars going round and round and round...all the time wats the fun in that"

Rucha - " i just simply dont get the funda of men running behind one ball and doing ballet in air..by kicking the ball, like jeez...I wudn't want to bruise my ankles or die under their armpits

Shivani - How many balls in an over?...umm..let me see...24? no? ok..then 26?

Rasika - He scored a 4....he scored a 4.. wooohohooo (when the guy has dropped the catch)

Rucha - Isn't table tennis a lighter and more ground version of badminton..oops..ok the ball isnt supposed to go over the area and into the bushes?

Rucha to Dyu - Wat is the funda of golf...hitting a chotu ball into a hole..just like cricket..only that u dont score sixes and fours..it's just on the ground.

Rasika and Rucha at the IPL match - "woooooohoo woohohooh..we scored yaya..go Mumbai Indians. (AFTER the guy has dropped the catch or he has scored a no ball)

Rucha & Rasika - During the match " I like your t-hsirt..where from? Oh i want ice tea.. (someone scores) ok wat wat..wat happend ? Did we score...? Yyayayaya

Result - Women should stick to shoes and intelligent things & let the men play their mindless "games"

LATELY

I am experiencing a sense of freedom in these past few days, as though things which earlier required permission, things which were not even thought to be possible have suddenly, subtly and swiftly come to be possible.

I have in the last month, blown up all my salary (and i dint even keep a tab, so i dont know where and how did i spend it), have gone to innumerable (which means around 3-4) parties, crashed at someone else's house,been a DJ for a party which mainly consisted of 40 pluses, broke nothing..absolutely nothing which can be breakable, have invented 2 new dance steps, travelled alone, danced in heels (a feat hitherto unimaginable), have had 4 guys to propose to me (actually its 3, the 4th one had already proposed way earlier), gone out to a fair on the last day, hijacked a stall and literally browbeaten the shopkeeper into selling me his stuff, worn my specs and contrived to look serious,been told i look pretty, ate cheese maggi (which was yum), bought yellow spongebob sqaure pant boxers for my friend, given innumerable love advice (maeen...this one's for u), ideated on many new concepts, didnt have a fight with my mom (in a long long long time), am generally less rude and more tolerable,made many new friends, broke a nail, then again broke many many nails,auditioned a pyshcologist (and faffed her into believing that i know all there is to about Karma, chakras, past life and all voodoo)

I have also, lost 5 bucks at fame cinema, not yet done anything on my job front (which i swore to do so like last year in september), tried to control my facial emotions,learnt how to pillow surf, thought (for the nth raised to nth time) about joining dance classes, realised how much i love lagna, cursed siddhant,had a heart to heart chat with my cousin (where i confessed how much i hated him 5 years back)

But one thing that gave me a high - Actually i cant remember, there's been so many things....It's been a good year and promises to be...with all its ups and downs
