Overdue.2.

Journey to Bengaluru.
It even has Bengal in its name now. Haha. Waited for 1 and 1/2 hours for the train. Lalbagh. Some more Haha. Met two collegemates. Look bhery cute together. Its cute how the guy cares about her. R&R they are. Boshe Om Shanti Om dekhlam. Laughed hysterically at naughty pussy scene. Tarpor didn't feel like saroing in the AC so came out for a bit. Bhery cute couple were standing outside. Felt like massive haddi in Kakori Kebab. Then again I am the original datebreaker, arent I? We spoke about the dead. And I told them about Ms. Nayar's "nabhi collector" theory. The theory that after incarceration only your bellybutton(=naabhi) survives. So there must be a collector to collect them. Fuck world peace tai na?? Naabhi collectors are infinitely more important.
Saw tiny little stations go by. Gumnaam,anjaan,badnaam stations with names that belie their status. With people sitting on the platform waiting perhaps for the day that someone will get off there. Someone, anyone. That kind of loneliness is probably the worst. Apart from the loneliness that only few have the privilege to encounter. The loneliness of a City. A big one. With skyscrapers galore, phone lines far too many, internet cafes aplenty, acquaintances like bees. But
where
"You're a porcelain doll that sits in a window
You hold your breath when people walk by
Safely kept behind rose-colored glass
Neatly tucked beneath the spotlight

Waiting for someone to love..."

Did I just become...ahem...profound? Something to think about. Definitely.

don't you want somebody to love.
don't you need somebody to love.
wouldn't you love somebody to love.







You'd better find somebody to love.

i'm pretty tired of saying this, but don't bother about the profoundness (is that the correct word?)

this blog rules.

also, good to know the naabhi collector theory is spreading. also, appreciate the fact that i'm commenting like a maniac. which doesn't really go to show that this post inspires comments.

then again, maybe it does.
