Amusement....

I called out to you....
Used verses and crushed sentences...
Turned an infant....
And made hungering conversations...
I was trying to amuse you...

Tried to make sense of spontaneous outbursts...
Played the game of hurling back vices at each other...
For all your sins, I excused you...
My sins, I knew, would amuse you...

Sometimes I played the game of yes and no...
and no and yes and yes and no...
Sometime I said you were right...
And accepted I was wrong....
I lost but I could not lose you....
Victory, I thought, would amuse you....
I thought, I could, at least amuse you...

Colon Family...

The matriarchal or the patriarchal system has been followed in our country since ages. But with the PC becoming an eternal part of our lives nowadays, I have observed the folder hierarchy of late which prevails in the colon family.

Here the head of the family is obviously the well known C:, I'm almost sure that the person who devised it was weak in grasping alphabets as it doesnt begin from A:, which is given to floppy drive, which is almost obsolete now. The head of the family contains all the installations, programs, games and actually every garbage that's possible...so obviously it started getting burdened with all the responsibilities and whenever the PC used to get into coma, there was no chance of reviving it back. Then entered the concept of formatting in which each son was passed on exclusive businesses of C: as in D: became for songs, E: for games and so on..so that at least some type of plastic surgery could be performed and with certain operations , either of the colons could be revived.

Then came the eternal problem of naming the baby which took the form of folders, which not only has surname but 100 middle names and then its own name!!
D:\My Songs\Bunty Aur Babli\Chup Chupke.mp3
D:\My Songs\Kya Love Story Hai\Its Rocking.mp3
D:\My Pictures\Aby Baby\bluffmaster.jpg

When you actually look at the hierarchy, sometimes you come across hilarious combinations like the above. So if one child goes missing, its almost an endless search because even if one uses the "search" feature, there are kids with same name under different colon heads!!

Leaps And Bounds....

It definitely is the era of leaps and bounds nowadays. I switch on the TV and I notice that each and every Hindi soap has undergone a leap, sons have almost become great-gradfathers now and along with that sometimes theres also the medical boon i.e plastic surgery. So one not only doesnt' recognise the character but is also confused as to who is playing which character in which serial. Its obvious to wonder as to why I am seeing those serials...its just that I am totally free now and have no better thing to do for timepass in the afternoons.
Similarly I decided to revamp my blog a bit and I notice that Blogger has got much more features now and there are all sorts of bloggers like alpha, beta, gamma and test versions lying around. Even blogging world has leapt forward and old bloggers like me will take time to get accustomed to the new scenario:p
Finally this blog has also undergone a 6 month leap...i believe in being with the times;) And I also know that I am not bound by anything. I have been around, reading everyone...just that I didn't feel like writing for this long. So here's to leaps and bounds and hoping that I take leaps in the form of days now:)
