The Real Slim Shady

May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
I repeat, will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

Shady said that last night he got a wake up call from his real inner self and this has led to the reincarnation of the care-a-damn and lost-in-himself real slim shady.
This morning when we exchanged emails as usual, I could sense the metamorphosis. Read the excerpts from his mails below -

When I said I am feeling a bit low for reasons unknown -

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The shady's calling you to join him
Dear lady you have to make the wind blow
Your stairway lies on the whispering emails

When I said I want to be like him - cool n calm

It may sound absurd...but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
It's not easy to be me

It's all right...you can sleep sound
But all night, my dream hound

I can't stand to fly .. I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red shert
Digging for my luck on this street
Looking for special things inside of me
Yeah, inside me

When I asked him about myself

If there's any way, the answer lies in you
Ur laid on ur zest, coz u know just what to do
If ur soul is lost, its coz u could never find one

When I said I wanted to fly away

Load up your guns
Bring it on my dovey
It's fun to play
Go on a rampage
and pretend casual self
Do it, scream a dirty word aloud
sud i tell ... Fuck it, who cares
With this goddamn attitude ... crack it ... u dare

One more -

I was not the one who jaded you
back on my memory lane, it seems
I never tried to hurt my heart,
But yesterday, i had a tide of ups and down
I was careless i believe, this brings tear to my eyes
But now it feels so good to reunite, within my self
So i just want to say a nu nd friendly hello my love

So all the shady speak made me smile and scribe after a long time :)
I cant help but add lines from the Eminem number again -
Ha ha
Guess there's a Slim Shady in all of us
Fuck it, let's all stand up

History calling

On sunday, I saw the Mysore palace. (The IITK gang went on a fun-filled Mysore expedition.) Come Dussera and the palace is decked up like a queen and the treat is worth watching. The palace facade resembled an old british building. The august murals and the exquisite paintings made the interiors magnificient. But this is not what attracted my attention. The moment I stepped into the palace a strange feeling crept into my mind. It felt quaint to think that not very long ago(some hundred year back) people like you and me lived there. They epitomized a bygone era which is much different from the contemporary age. I felt bizarre to witness the corridors, the throne, the pillars, the dressing room, the mirrors, etc. More so because of the realization that I would be a part of history someday too!
Btw, the trip was too much of fun with antakshiri, dumb charades, elephant rides, giant wheels, tora toras, columbus n all.

Honey

Juhi called me up today morining. It was a pleasant surprise - both because she was at home and the call came in the morning. We have grown up together and have spent so much time together that at times I feel dejected for not being by her side all time. The last few years have been very taxing for her and I feel so helpless not being there to help her out. Her hospital schedules are utmost inhumane and even otherwise there have been so many upheavels. She is such a strong person that from her face you can never make out the rumblings beneath or is it that she is waiting for her sister's shoulder to surrender ? My dearie, my love, my sweety, my honey, my twinkle I hope you find your Mr. Perfect soon. I was just looking at your photograph and I cant write anymore....

She will be loved

I am listening to this beautiful number from Maroon in infinite loop today :)

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I’ve had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

The Saga Of Life

My attempt at a doggerel -

As I stretch myself in this cosy chair,
I can feel the morning at me stare,
As I fake to fixate and not give a care,
I can hear the hollow wind's blare,
As I close my eyes the cold night gives me a scare,
I ask myself 'Is Life Fair ?'

Life's a march from cradle to grave,
And behold! you will wave,
You fight for your place under the Sun,
One day you get all the burn,
Surrounded by loved ones you always want,
One day they proceed for a forever jaunt,
Youth and wealth you brag about,
One day they slyly leave you without a doubt.

Life is a march from cradle to grave,
And sweetheart you have to be brave,
Life is a bless, it's not a mess,
So shake up and feel the wind caress,
Wake up to the Sun's warm,
And see the rain in the green farm,
See joy in misery and beauty in pain,
Happy be always and never complain!

The Skeleton Key in The Longest Yard

Shady forgot his apartment key with one of his roomies and we had a difficulty getting it back from the office due to the maddenning traffic at past 7.
Saw the above 2 movies this weekend and liked em too. The Skeleton Key is about an unsuspecting girl entering a household to help a dying sick old man and then getting trapped herself. Although, I didnt like the ending as I'm used to hunky dory potboilers from bollywood, the movie had an overall good affect.
The Longest Yard is also a cool movie. Its about a footballer organizing a game of prisoners against the guards. Mast movie...go watch it!

Mamma I'm coming home

It is one of the most gruelling times for my family as the worst ever health crisis has broken out in which nobody has been spared. I really really want to be home - by my Mamma's side helping her make the chapatis as she gives rest to her shoulder, by my sisters side giving her comfort from the many times overexhaustion that she is facing, by my brother's side helping him with his studies by the time he recovers, by my father's side pushing him to go for exercising and showing him to some good doctor and ofcourse by my nani's side just putting my hand over her forehead just like the way she used to do for me. Oh Nani, I'm missing you so much and want to be by your side.

Femme 'Fat' tale

Every girl I know seems to be perturbed about layers of excessive adipose tissue! Juhi, I remember, used to eat in measured quantities and crib about her 'ascending' weight. 'Girl'friends in IITK were also concerned about their increasing girth. My roommates have also decided to have some workout sessions to attack the problem. Meanwhile, even I think sometimes that I'm bloating. With this sedentary lifestyle and calorie-loaded spicy diet I am bound to turn from a gourmet to a gourmand. Nevertheless, I haven't taken any corrective measures so far to counterbalance my corpulance.

Of Mondays and Tuesdays!

So on a Wednesday finally the news got out about Meghana Monday marrying Anup Tuesday (oops Rupesh Nasre!) on a Sunday. It feels so nice to see people around you falling in love and culminating their relationship in the eternal knot. Meanwhile I'll continue pulling Meghana's legs :)

I got my first real six string!!

And I indeed played it till my fingers hurt. Yea have joined guitar classes and all I am interested in learning right now is holding the guitar! The drillmaster asked me the first day about my radical stimulus for taking the plunge and I turned my head towards shady :).
Btw, saw Salaam Namaste on saturday with the VRCE crew and due to unavoidable circumstances have to bear it again today. Also to keep my weekend at forum record going saw Cindrella Man with my Cindrella Man!
