Live dont just exist!

It was a road like no other, the white orchids, the small pink flowers cascading over the walls, the sheer delight that one felt while passing the huge blue house at the end of the road, and then looking far into the curved road before turning where I had to. This experience was not new, I went through this every morning and yet it all seemed new, like the curved road had just manifested there that morning. There were many people passing through the big road, they all seemed oblivious of the beauty that surrounded them, but yet I admired. May be one day I will take a walk down the curved road and see where it leads I thought, but busy in daily routines and schedules the day never came and I had to be content with the long glances and the absorbsion of beauty that I could do every morning at the place where the road curved, walking past that road just on the big road and thinking of the beauty that lay at the end of the road, if the path was that beautiful the destination would definitely be, I knew it in my heart.

Dear diary,

It was a day that is going to be etched in my memory, I can possibily get over it, or maybe it will haunt me for decades to come, but today the love of my life Alicia DIED, yes she just lay cold and dead, I know it is the insanest thing to be doing, to die, I mean why on earth would anyone want to DIE? But iam guessing the seven months of pure mental and physical torture in the name of cancer made her want to die. But yesterday when she held my hand and told me that all she wanted to do now was to die, I just blinked at her, and thought she was probably just losing her sanity. She has me to live for doesn’t she? Why did she wish me luck? Now I wonder if I am losing it too. There I stood watching her funeral procession turn near the big blue house at the end of orchid street, I stopped there could stand no more of this, I CANT lose her. I watched as the whole procession went out of sight, onto the curved road which had beautiful flowers on both sides of it, orchids that she would’ve loved, and that I would’ve given anything in the world for her to have. The cemetery was at the end of that road, its actually a paradox that a cemetery should be at the end of such a beautiful street, like a beautiful life and a dead end. I wish Mr cancer had never come in our way, I wish she had taken me to the surprise place that she had never seen herself that she spoke about on the day we met at ‘Rendezvous café’ it was one day ahead valentines’ and she wanted to go their the next day which was the same day she came to know of deadly Mr cancer. Ohh how I hate him.How I want to see that surprise place.

Counting on fingers


This kid wearing a school uniform was buying a lemon, she had given a hundred rupee note and was now counting the change, after the money was safely tucked away in her pocket, as i watched, i saw an array of expressions on her face. Then she counted on her fingers, probabily subtracting, adding, multiplying all at once, and a happy draught spread over little cute face, and she smiled at me with a 700 watt smile. Well happiness is created by oneself right ?

Am missing a lot of things this afternoon, wish i had a really nice bok to cozy up with, or atleast the inspiration to do something interesting by myself. Well its amazing that iam stil really happy though.

A Ruined Valentine dinner.

Thursday February 14th
Valentines day

Two people fell off their bike and were injured on ECR road today, they were on their way to buy biriyani from a popular shop in Thiruvanmyur. The rear view mirror of the scooty pep (red) hit against a share auto, which has applied sudden brakes, the share auto had stopped in the middle of the crowded road for a passenger to get off it. Both the women fell off the bike and the bike fell on them much to the dismay of bystanders who were later heard commenting on the number of freak accidents on ECR everyday. Vidya, a Cub reporter (and owner of this blog) escaped with a bruise on her right hand, her mother however was injured on the leg and had a swollen eye apart from bruises all over her face. The two rushed to a hospital (read a dirty one) nearby and the mother was administered with TT injection and her wounds were cleaned before being handed over a prescription letter that looked scary and totally un- understandable. (Doctors have neat handwritings don’t they). I totally second the government’s move to make helmets compulsory said Mrs. Maya, Vidya’s mother, who felt that she would not have gotten hurt if she had been wearing a helmet. Helmets are a hindrance to clear vision, but now I realise the dire need for helmets said a tired looking Vidya, who also wished the readers a happy valentines day, and added that their valentines dinner with family had been ruined because of the accident. I have got back the belief in the system that I once had, now I feel the government wants its citizens to be happy and that is the reason for the implementation of new laws said Vidya.

The shirt contest. (Contest shirt)

People have lucky rings, lucky colours, lucky shoes, lucky pendants etc ,ever heard of a contest shirt? well i have this smart white shirt that makes me participate in a contest every time i wear it, The shirt by itself is a really nice one and is from zentrum, i hardly ever wear shirts and this one is quite a stunner and made me buy it the minute i saw it even though it could have been in gold for the price they charged me, now this shirt is white and that means i hardly ever wear it even though i would gladly wear it every day simply because i think of it getting dirty the minute i take it out and ding, it goes back into my wardrobe. so one fine evening after mommy darling pacified me that she would wash the shirt with 'tide' if it became dirty and that i should wear it, i did. it fitted me perfectly and i was happy as ever we went to this cool supermarket on east coast road, wondering what the huge picture of a cookie outside the shop meant, i went inside and finished all my shopping,on our way to the parking lot, one dude at a stall (a makeshift one) asked us if we were ready to take up a challenge, ofcourse we were, i had to arrange the pieces of a big cookie's picture to make it look like a cookie, and i had to do it in 30 seconds, well i did it and took home a packet of free cookies. that was incident one, the next one was when i went to citicentre with amma, another makeshift stall (this time a pendrive brand - sandisk or sumthing) and this dudette asked me some questions (general knowledge) and then took a picture of me on their so called 'prestigious' couch, hmmm they then printed out that picture right there and gave it to me, that was a nice gesture wasnt it? the third incident happened today, the same cool supermarket reopened today after a long renovation leave, we needed vegetables really badly and ofcourse i suggested we should go to the newly renovated place, they would surely have some offers, i walk into the store, wearing my white shirt and,bang! this dude with a mike, inside the store goes 'i need a kid or a girl to play this game' and walks up to me 'hey wats your name, etc etc...' all the usual question answer nonsense and tells me the game, i should find 10 different brands of the same product, in thirty seconds and i win something, (i dont know what), clever vidyalakshmi couldnt find ten things, lol, i lost but then i had the attention of the whole store for like a minute and that is something isnt it?
Hmmm the only other time ive worn this shirt is when i went for a kollywood party, ie when i met actor Surya.
No excitement in your life?
Wanna borrow my shirt the Next time you go shopping????
