with the circumference of a million thoughts
a circle with a moving centre
touching and touched by many others
but no other circle fits her

pulling the chords between hearts longer
or yanking that arc to a smile
watch the constant radius shorten
at the end of the endless mile

when the circle becomes a mangle
filling in the square of strife
what do you have on your sheets
perhaps it's the diagram of life
What I learnt on the Hyd trip…

1. The only thing that is sillier than an airhead is a tiara on an airhead.

2. A fool-proof method of ensuring your rival hotel’s bankruptcy is to take Archana to their buffet.

3. Sneha needs four hats to cover that head of hers; her hair, of course, beats the Amazon.

4. Huge junk food meals may cause *ahem* pants *ahem* to tear.

5. Ramya behaves like a baby in bed. Spring mattresses are Disney World for this twenty-two year old.

6. I rock at that game where you play act movie names.

7. We’re the only people who plan to gossip and then gossip and repeat the same bit of gossip for the bum who missed it all because of the ages she spent in the bathroom. By the way, this piece of gossip was 4 semesters old.

8. Ramya’s torch is always at it;)

9. Ramya’s toothbrush missed the Hyd trip because she packed with too much care to take it along.

10. Pooja spends her first waking moments giving people repeated detailed accounts of how well she slept. She’s too sleepy to notice whether you respond or not.

11. I don’t let people sleep. The man with his head between his hands because he was stuck with the noisy bunch of girls was my biggest success to date.

12. Journeys are as much fun as we can make them.

13. Archana lends new meaning to the round-the-clock concept.

14. Archana’s hot halter leads to a lot of Charchana.

15. Discs leave Sneha delirious. With her hair loose, the overall effect is quite dramatic.

16. Never order desserts in Paradise.

Part 2 of this post if I remember some more things at some point of time…

I’d the best of days… Thank you, you guys:)

light a flame
come build a fire
make a choice
don't light a pyre

plant a seed
watch it grow green
make a choice
don't suck a leaf lean

add new colours
finish the stroke
make a choice
don't let the canvas choke

Hmmm. I'm writing a post about colds...catching a cold, to be more specific. This, of course, sounds crazy to you. Assume that my mind's full of phlegm. Now I don't like this cold. I don't like coughing my guts out.I don't like my strawberry-nose. I don't like my voice sounding like my grandpa's. But I do like the endless cups of coffee and tea and dals and soups that I down with my Mum because of this cold. I do like the conversations that stem from these times. I like where they take me. Yeah. A lot of can happen over coffee. And colds.

a grasp to match your grasp
a finger to tease your touch
a faith carefully rubbed and polished
a friend i am such

i go there often
an ever changing place
where walls melt into mirrors
and i see your face

i go there often
where happiness plays her cards
to know what smoothness is
first i learn to feel the shards

i go there often
knowing you're not quite there
after everything i see hear and despair
when back in bed
i feel us in the night air
i feel you in my hair

i go there often
in your presence and absence
within the ends lies some truth
and it just never makes sense

The only thing to be given is "a damn." The only thing.
