Tweeter And The Monkeyman

I want to write a happysad post.

You know the kind...

It’ll make you whimper, sniff a little, then slowly (but surely) make you open those ducts and let the tears unwillingly drop out...sob by sob.

...and almost at the same time, your lips will be curling, that smile would be creeping up, your stomach would be doing flip flops, and you’ll burst a happy smile.

Oh, it’ll mess you up so much.

And if you’re sitting in something public like a subway, you’ll suddenly look up and blind people with those blushing red cheeks.

A crazy brilliant smile and tears running constantly.

People might even take a step away from you.

...just you wait.

When I was a kid, I heard this song and I just could not understand how someone could sing such sad lyrics to a tune that always made me smile. Dare you to beat this. My first taste of something happysad, now try and beat this. :P

Have you ever cried in public? I was sobbing heavily in the tube one morning and felt amused at the same time when I saw people turning their faces away from me... :) You rock my soul!

@aurora: oh putting bars to surprass already...but not so fast. When enough time has passed and it's least expected.
Maybe even when you've given up on such a post coming.

@IM: Nice. We shall repeat that. Now, if only I could rock my guitar.

@Dhiren: aha! been waiting for a comment from you forever mate.

New Mexico's No Breeze

"Happy," I muttered, trying to pin the word down. But it is one of those words, like Love, that I have never quite understood. Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception – especially the big ones like Happy and Love and Honest and Strong. They are too elusive and far too relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these, because they're scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and it takes either a priest or a fool to use them with any confidence. - Who else but the random and interesting personality of Hunter S Thompson

Oh Darling

I never had a traumatic childhood. Well, the usual trauma stuff, you know. Not enough to write a book about or blame everything wrong in my current life on. But I sure as hell am having a traumatic workhood. No not the much publicised recession and the like. This is on a whole different plane altogether. Let me give you a glimpse into what I mean. A friend wanted to order a surprise birthday gift for his fiance but didn't want it delivered to his home, lest she saw it and ruined said surprise. So I volunteered my office address (I'm nice that way). With a warning though, that as long as it wasn't anything kinky, adult-ish, or anything to do with cute pink teddy bears. They're all really the same things. So anyway, I'm working from home on Friday and my colleague calls me asking for some help. I say I'm busy and make a great excuse(I'm always learning from Dilbert). Colleague resorts to threats and then blackmail. Says, she'll tell everyone that she...

Singing In The Rain

Hello. I’m back and I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that recently, on a moonlit night, sitting on a Parisian bench, opposite the Louvre, I fell on one knee with a ring in open palm, facing the girl. She smiled and said "Ofcourse yes". But not before she took her time. The bad news is that that apparently means I’m engaged. Ok I lie, it’s all good news. And then we went gallivanting across that food and wine flavoured land of the French and drank in it's "live the easy life" obsession. We had cognac in Cognac, crepes covered in nutella in Montmartre and more than is lawfully allowed of our share of croissants, pain au chocolate and coffee. We lived in a chateau inside a vineyard, hosted by a real Count and his Countess, one who's great grandfather commanded the Scindia's army in India. And more, much more. Now I'm back in my tiny Manhattan apartment, she's sipping her chai in her Delhi house and we're talking and laughing abo...
