Temple Town

I wanted to go to a temple town.
I imagined it would be like this.
Stone and cool against my skin
And that the world would stop.
I've wanted that for a while now
And also to go to a temple town.

Cricket

Laura (Sister):
I don't know who's funnier to watch during a cricket match.
Richard (Sister's Husband), Mamma (Mamma) or Megan (Sister's Baby)

Dadda of course will be peacefully snoring through the whole thing.

Richard will yell and scream every time someone gets out.

Mama will sit and do her jadoo mantras and put the cross on the tv and say things like my toe to you Pakistan, come on Sreeshanti use your third eye!

And Megan will look at Richard and Mama and yell along without any idea of what's going on.

Her super power is that she smiles
And his is that he's kind.
Together I think they could take over the world.

Ya Vas Lyubil

Ya vas lyubil: lyubov' eshe, byt' mozhet,
V dushe moei ugasla ne sovsem;
No pust' ona vas bol'she ne trevozhit;
Ya ne hochu pechalit' vas nichem.
Ya vas lyubil bezmolvno, beznadezhno,
To robost'yu, to revnost'yu tomim;
Ya vas lyubil tak iskrenno, tak nezhno,
Kak dai vam bog lyubimoi byt' drugim.

I loved you; even now I may confess,
Some embers of my love their fire retain;
But do not let it cause you more distress,
I do not want to sadden you again.
Hopeless and tonguetied, yet I loved you dearly
With pangs the jealous and the timid know;
So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely,
I pray God grant another love you so.

Alexander Pushkin (1829)

SO,
I've started buying only pink slippers.

Boss

'Give this to the Boss.' She told the office boy, handing him a presentation
And he came straight and gave it to me, ignoring the Managing Director entirely.

I felt it in my stomach before I realised it was the smell.
I smelled Nainital yesterday.
In a big yellow bottle of Vaseline body lotion.

Things get killed all the time.
You know; cats, time, bill.
But not curiosity.
Never that.

Everything stops; stands still for a moment.
But your mind races.

Worthy Opponents

"And let that be a lesson to you Cyclop!", Ulysses shouted out as his ships left the shore. It was a mistake which he would pay for dearly. A short distance away on the beach the now-blinded-one-eyed-monster let out a bloodcurdling bellow, which his father, the lord of the seas, heard very loudly and very clearly. Ulysses was a marked man. A terrible storm picked up his ships and hurled them around the ocean for days until eventually the poor company of weary sailors were tossed onto a beautiful little island. Their ships anchored, they began exploring Dali's beach only to find a disinterested bunch of native folk sitting around, eyes glazed, eating lotuses. So they tried some o dem lotuses too. And they ate some more. And more. Until their eyes glazed over, bodies relaxed, lay back wondering where it was they were trying to head to in the first place. And finding no good reason to leave this semi-concious dreamy wonderland, Ulysses' men ate more lotuses and lay back with eyes closed and lips curled into half a smile. And that was how Lord K found them when he floated down onto the island on yet another rescue mission. "Ladies and gentlemen, respected opponents, honoured chief guests, teachers, parents, and my dear friends..", he spoke into the megaphone, "this is my island, and these are my lotuses, and you jokers are not only trespassing, but by eating them you are ruining the eco-system.." "..ruining the eco-system runing the eco-system...", the words echoed across the skies... and into the super-sensitive ears of Captain Green. "Somebody needs us!", he addressed his protege, "let's go save somebody Doctor Doom", and together they flew towards the voice.

Meanwhile Lord K was starting to enjoy himself, "The topic for today's debate..", the megaphone blasted, "should these pathetic losers be spared? Or not? I am of the opinion..." Ulysses realised the gravity of the situation. "Lord K", he implored, "Don't be so hasty, my men had no idea, let's talk about this..". "Worthy opponent", Lord K shouted into the megaphone which was one inch away from Ulysses' face. "is it your opinion that these men should be spared?". Ulysses answered, "Er.. yes..but...", Lord K, turned his back to him addressing a captive audience which had suddenly appeared on the beach, "Respected judges, my worthy opponent feels that these men should be spared..."
All at once Captain Green and Doctor Doom swooped down on the scene, "What's the problem Lord K?". "The problem my dear friends", said Lord K still speaking into the megaphone, "is that these men, in their hurry to reach Ithaca where Penelope awaits their arrival, have forgotten about the hand that feeds them". Ulysses little confoos now. "and so I decided to remind them about a little thing called maya", he said pointing towards the sea where Venus was rising from the foam projecting lotuses onto the land, and suddenly the images changed and there was a woman washing clothes, and they changed again and bats were flying into the night sky, and Ulysses understood now what his duty was.
