Poised as I was to pen a post (ooh! Alliteration!) about "the effing male ego" as my friend puts it, the fact that this may put off some of my male fellow bloggers and make many of them go "But what about the double effing female ego?" gave me pause. I will instead be entertaining you by reproducing this crap I wrote a long time ago during some boring class.
Once Ray and I had a laughing fit over some silly joke at college while our classmates looked at us as if we were giggling aliens in an essentially melancholy world. This made us laugh even harder. Life is a multicoloured bubble about to burst at any time. This is my definition of life. I slept with the radio on and the headphones glued to my ears, listening to "November Rain", and woke up with the song continuously buzzing in my ears.

They were seated, two women facing each other in the darkened room. The only dim source of
light was a round white ball on the table in the centre.
"You want me to lie?" asked the young girl.
"Lie? No, I don't want you to lie. I expect you to tell them what they want to hear." said
the old woman, her eyes closed, her wrinkles soft.
"But I can truly see! Don't people deserve to know the truth?"
"Curse the truth! Truth doesn't bring us pennies, girl! You will not make the customers sad
with your bally truth, you hear me?" The old women had opened her eyes wide and was glaring
at the girl. She looked eerie in her mirror dress with the many strange beads.
The girl nodded nervously. After a while, the old fake fortune teller calmed down. As she
lit a cigarette, she remarked, "And don't wear so much makeup for God's sake. You look like
a bloody geisha."

This is dedicated to Nothingman.
The place plunged into darkness without so much as a warning. "Shit" he cussed, as the road in front of him disappeared. He was late already and now this. He brought out his cell phone, and shone it on the ground. It was not much light, but it would have to do for now. The dim cellphone light showed the road riddled with potholes and strewn with garbage. Stepping lightly over the mess, he made his way slowly along the road. He could hear dogs in the street and his blood involuntarily froze. Slowly he exhaled. "Easy now", he whipered to himself as he almost tripped over a black bag, whose contents he didn't want to know.
He'd heard about the gruesome deaths of the kids. Toddlers mauled and eaten by rabid dogs. "Still, there hasn't been an incident in this part of town", he reassured himself. Nevertheless, he incrased his speed. He kept the cell phone light on, using tensed fingers, and his eyes darted sideways every ten seconds, ears alert for any peculiar canine sound. He was almost at the end of the road when he thought he saw something dart through the sliver of light coming from a nearby derelict building. He stopped dead in his tracks. He heard growling, not menacing, but terrifying anyway. Suddenly, he decided to make a run for it and took two huge strides forward. He was about to take the third one, but was stopped again by a brown mongrel right in front of him. He could just make out its shape in the darkness, and he swiftly moved sideways to escape the beast. It so happened that the beast also moved to the same side. Now, both man and beast moved to the other side simultaneaously. This happened for some more time. If he had not been so terrified, he'd have found this particular situation extremely funny. "This is just like what happens in those romantic movies when the hero and heroine meet for the first time" he'd have said.
Finally, he gave up and stopped swaying from side to side. At this moment, in the same thin light of the building, he saw the animal's full face. Its eyes depicted utter fear. "Why," he thought. "The dog is just as scared of me as I'm of it! Oh, this is so foolish of me!". He confidently took a few steps forward, thinking "How true it is that what we're actually afraid of is fear itself. Most of times we just seem to be scared of each other." And in his relief and wise contemplations, he did not notice the brown thing that lunged at him.
It happened so fast. He was still finishing his thoughts on fear when he felt the sharp teeth sinking into his thigh.

Exactly two days ago, I realised a long harboured dream. A dream so long in coming true, that, in fact, I had almost given up on it. My happiness knows no bounds these days. One acquaintance in my apartment building saw me flitting about with a stupid grin in my face, and with a wink, alluded to my being in love. I was vaguely concerned with what rumours are spreading about me, but didn't enquire further. I didn't give a flying bleep.
Tomorrow is Saturday. I'm going shopping with Ray, just like we used to.
Let the world have a nice weekend.

This is a conversation I had with my mind some days ago.
Me(M):So, I had a dream about this T-shirt last night. It was a plain white one, with "Whatever." written in the front in large red letters. I was so craving that T-shirt I-
My mind(MM):You had a dream about a T-shirt.
M:Ya,and It-
MM:You had a dream about a T shirt.
M:What are you dumb or something? Catch up! So I-
MM:You are 21 years old!
M:So?
MM:So! You're supposed to dream about your career or guys now, not clothing!
M(rolling eyes dramatically):What? I can't dream about anything but work and guys?
MM:I didn't say that, pinhead! I said, you don't know what you're doing six months from now.
M:I do too know what I'm doing six months from now.
MM:Yeah? What?
M:Working.
MM:Where, darling, where?
M:Uhhh,ummm, wherever. Enough about my future. This T shirt! I just loved it. I don't know why, I normally find the word "whatever" so lame, but it said so much in this T shirt. And the full stop after the word, wow, I-
MM:Oh my God.
M:What now, drama queen!
MM:You've fallen in love with a T shirt!
(A pause)
M:Ok. This is too much. I don't know why I bother with you. You know what, lets talk about something else.
MM:Okay.
(My mind shuts up for a minute while I wash my face in the sink. A second after I look up at the mirror-)
MM:You should do something about your eyes.
M:Huh?
MM:Your eyes. Black circles.
M:Hmm?
MM:Smarten up,Blondie! You have puffy eyes. What happened?
M:I think I didn't sleep well.
MM:Right, you were fanatsizing about your handsome T shirt.
M:Stop it!
MM:Hey, a thought. Was there a person inside the T shirt?
M:No, it was just the T shirt.
MM:Drat! Just when I thought I had hope!
M:Hey! What if I told you there was Angelina jolie inside the Tshirt?
MM(after a pause):Well, it is Angelina Jolie.
M:Thats it. You're forbidden to speak your ,mind.
MM:Sweetheart, I am your mind.
M:Well, stop working then. Anyway I get on fine without you. I don't know why I let you out now. Outdoor picnics over,baby. I'm going to close the door now. Gotta go watch some TV....
After twenty minutes of The OC, my mind is asleep and all is well with the world. Hah.
