<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">She always awoke with
the dawn. That dark hour before the first light appeared, before the dew
evaporated and the dust got unsettled.<span> </span>Lie
in bed for a few seconds until the moment of full awakening. Get up, don’t make
any noise, open the bedroom door as noiselessly as possible, but most
importantly, don’t wake him. Slow and careful steps, tiptoe, close the door
gently behind you. <span> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Many summers ago when
she lived near the sea, she would take her dogs out in the morning, letting
them run on the beach, unleashed.<span> </span>Her
face always turned towards the sun, towards the light, to what she called
freedom.<span> </span>Running along with the dogs
gave her a sense of nonexistence, as if there was only her shadow, and she was
an invisible weightless body floating very close to the ground. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The city was big, and
it blinded her at night, crowding her, making her feel trapped in a jungle of
lights. Sometimes the noise of the cars honking on the street below their
apartment left her disoriented.</span></span></span></div>

from his book, something about space explorers getting lost in another
universe. He had probably borrowed it from his students.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">And there were the
voices inside her head.<span> </span>Who were they? A
long forgotten lover? That lost tourist she sheltered for a week? Or could it
be her father, lost at sea, his body never found. The voices had come on and
off, sometimes mocking her, sometimes laughing maniacally, sometimes a low
murmur. She restrained herself from replying, from screaming at them, telling
them to shut up and go away. <span> </span> </span></span></span></div>

thought he was asleep. He’d lie there, not daring to breathe or move, not
wanting to embarrass her.<span> </span>He knew her
eyes were red, her lips swollen from biting, and could almost feel the hot
tears that bathed her face.<span></span>The crying
sessions were always followed by a deep sleep, as if she had exhausted the
supply of tears and had to recharge the batteries. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Summer mornings were
her favourite time of the year. His too.<span> </span></span>Some mornings she
would wake him, and together they would watch the sky change colour, from a
nightly black to a metallic grey, then to beautiful pinks and oranges, until
the sun turns a hot yellow, burning everything in sight.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">They had not watched
the sunrise together in two years. He loved the mornings as much as she did,
but something held him back, something about her demanded solitude, and most of
the time he was simply too tired.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">That summer was
cruel. At nights when it got too hot he dragged the mattress down from the bed
and slept on the floor near the big window. The first night was wonderful, but
in the morning he was woken by the sun coming through the window, hitting him
right on the eyes. From the next night he slept facing the other way round, and
a small problem solved.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">She was not the type
to cuddle, hugging her folded knees, rolling herself up embryonic ally. But her
physical presence made him happy, happy that she was there, in person, that she
chose to be with him. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">He vividly remembered
the night he felt the heat coming through her thin cotton shirt. There was a
wide gap between them in the bed, yet he could feel the heat rising from her
back. He got up, soaked a towel in cold water and wiped her neck and chest.
That look on her face, that half asleep half smile was something<span> </span>he captured and locked away in his memory,
like all the other good things he stored deep in his private happiness box,
somewhere deep in his brain, which nobody else could access.</span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">It was true, he never
expected her to stay, but he couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed to
wake up to find all her belongings gone, including the Shrek ashtray she liked
so much. He would have loved to keep that, clean it and keep it on top of the
TV. Then he could look at it from time to time when the TV programs get too
boring.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">“Ogres are like
onions”, was always her favourite movie line. He finally understood what that
line meant. There were parts of her, layers which he would never unravel,
mysteries he would never solve. And she made him cry. Yes, he cried. But he was
not ashamed. <span> </span>For the first time in 15
years he let the tears slide down his cheeks and watched the world turn hazy.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">He lifted the
mattress and placed it back on the bed. The big window was open, and the smell
of the wet earth floated in.<span> </span>A
comforting, earthy smell. The rains had come. He smiled; life would go on.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today
I happened to watch an advertisement on TV. Which is a very rare event because
1) I usually change the channel as soon as an ad comes on, and 2) I rarely
watch TV. So this ad comes on, about Splendor bike, and it went something
like:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a guy sends a text that says “Chai
in the Misty Mountains.” Then three of his friends, happy to receive that text,
drop whatever they are doing, and ride on their bikes towards the Misty
Mountains. Somewhere on the way our four friends meet up, and they ride happily
together until the Misty Mountain is reached and the chai is drunk.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It
left me thinking, “Wow these guys are something else, not only do they want to
go to the same place, but get ready immediately and reach the meeting point all
at the same time,” and wished meeting up with friends was as easy as that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Flash
back a couple of years ago. Hyderabad, when it still was the capital of united
Andhra Pradesh. Me and a bunch of friends from work often meet up on holidays
and weekends and do something, go somewhere. Our plans were never plans, more
like a puzzle where you don’t know where you’re headed until the last minute. Someone
would have the grand idea that we should do something, and call everyone. Plans,
or something similar to that would be made. Fellow with the car would pick up
everyone and then the discussion on where to go would begin, and the actual plan would emerge. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AR was always late. Since he was the guy with
the wheels, we could never go anywhere without him, and he knew we would wait
for him, which makes him even more late. Oh how we cursed him and bitched about
him and called him and texted him, only to hear “I’m almost ready”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course almost could mean anything from
five minutes to two hours. Sometimes we would all go to his place and while he
ran around getting ready his family was forced to feed us and be nice to us. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And
then there was the “invite someone along without my friends’ approval” which always
ruined the day/evening/night because we then had to be extra polite and use
nice words to each other. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was that
one time AJ decided to invite one girl, who declined the invitation and then
once we had started off changed her mind and had to be waited for an hour. I remember
that day, we waited for her on a petrol bunk, and just opposite the road was a
bar-cum-restaurant. We had waited for almost an hour, and everyone was low on
patience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were so tired of sitting in
a car, on a hot sunny day, waiting for someone who might or might not show up, that
when someone suggested we all go into the bar and get drunk and go home we
almost said yes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">However,
time delays never dampened our spirits. There was that one time we decided to
go to Medak and see the church and maybe visit a nearby waterfall on the way
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Medak is about two hours’ drive
from Hyderabad. AR was late again (no surprise there), and when we left the
city it was almost 3 PM. A few photo shoots <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on the way, a tyre puncture, and by the time
we reached Medak it was after 5 PM and the church was about to be closed to
visitors. We managed to get inside, did a quick tour, and left when it was
dark. We then visited nearby old buildings and drove back to the city, and on
the way had the best dal pakodas with coconut chutney. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Incomplete
research on a place you intended to visit (visiting a beautiful lake, except it
was the middle of the June and the lake was completely dry)? Breakdowns at
night in the middle of the forest with no equipment or spare parts? Police
patrols asking you to show your ID because you are in the middle of a
Naxalite-infested area? Wondering what the living arrangements are between two
women and a man who sheltered you while your car is being fixed? Check all
that. Having a good time in spite of all that? Check!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Life’s
changed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now everything has a timestamp.
Go to that place at that time, do that thing and go home. If you’re going to be
late be sure to call home and relay the news. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No more long rides and going out whenever and
wherever just because you can. No more touristy and sightseeing trips. No more
being free. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All I wish for now is
Gandalf to show up when I'm 50 and take me on the adventure of a lifetime.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It was a Saturday evening. I was busy with the after-dinner cleanup and listening to music on my phone which I kept nearby. Suddenly out came this beautiful song (probably received via the many Whatsapp groups), which I instantly recognized as a song we often sang in church. I was surprised, not because there exists an English version of a Mizo hymn, but because it was so easily available, and in such a modern version too! I grabbed the phone with my dirty hands, and after fumbling with the buttons for a while found that the song was called Love of God, performed by Mercyme.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Later I opened the Kristian Hla Bu and found the song at No. 43 – <i>Pathian hmangaihna ropuizia, </i>written by one Frederick M. Lehman. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then came a flurry of Googling and Youtube-ing and discovering that the song was written by Lehman in 1917; and that the third and last stanza was inspired by a poem written nearly 200 years ago by an insane man on the walls of an asylum, which was in turn originally composed by a Jewish Rabbi around the year 1050!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is a beautiful song, simple yet profound. I cannot decide which lyrics I love more, the Mizo or the English version. </div>

oh my god i've lost it. i cannot write anymore. this is maybe the fourth or fifth try (or maybe more) and i will not delete this no matter what. see, i've stopped using capital letters and typing directly on blogger.com, that's how far gone i am (but i still use my apostrophes at the right place so i guess i am still redeemable).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
blame facebook. blame whatsapp and those messaging apps. blame free wifi. blame too much to do everywhere i look. blame life for changing its course. blame all those people who surge into my life. blame torrent downloads and quiet nights. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
blame all those people who stopped blogging. blame those beautiful songs on repeat. blame all those online shopping sites that let me window-shop without lifting a foot. blame those cute nieces who are still hyper-active at ten in the night. blame those social events that are compulsory. blame these eyes that close too early at night and open too early in the morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
see it's only three paras gone and already i'm looking for people to text and friends to annoy and movie spoilers to reveal. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
sometimes you have to stop worrying and do what feels right. yeah i know easier said than done. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
i take back my words. i don't blame any of the aforementioned things/people. it's all me, me, me. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sometimes
you miss the bright lights. The cinema halls and the restaurants and the food
courts, the late night shows and midnight buffets, the neighbourhood general
stores that stay open till 10 pm for any emergency shopping, and the streets
that quieten only after midnight. You miss the shopping malls and fancy brands
and the back alleys where everyone goes to buy their clothes. The festival
season and end-of-season sales where everyone has a competition on who offers
the most discounts; and store cards and discount coupons, though you never used
them. You miss the big bookstores and the fact that you can sit and read there
for hours and nobody cares. The shopping area which turns into a second-hand
book market on Sundays, and rare books that you discover at unbelievably cheap
prices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You miss having a lot of free
time on weekends and holidays and going on unplanned trips with friends. The
strange fact that even in such a big city there would be a familiar face to run
into at almost every place, although you keep a very small circle of friends.
The fact that you feel younger, never weighed down by the pressure that comes
from all your friends being married and gone, and being an anonymous face in a
city of millions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Twenty
months have passed since the relocation, and you begin to feel that things are
quietening down a bit. People no longer stop you to ask when you arrived and
give their verdict on your weight and looks. Questions about what you do for a
living since coming here have stopped. You have met your old friends and are
pleased to discover that the friendship is still there. Now you can somewhat
match the names and faces of people, especially young people who you have to
identify through their parents. You are shocked, however, to see that people
from your generation are now beginning to look old, which brings a horrific
realisation that you must look the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Random faces seen around town slowly stop resembling people from the old
city. New friends slowly emerge, and a few old friends reappear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You discover that you know more people than
you are aware of, and find a familiar face or two in almost every place. It’s a
small town, and everyone knows everyone else, so there is always a common link
with any new person you meet; this however is comforting and frightening at the
same time. You could roam about and nobody would care who you are and what you
do, and it feels wonderful being anonymous in a city of thousands. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ding. Dong. Ding. Dong. Ding. Dong. <br /><br />What’s that sound? Oh it is the church bell. What time is it anyway?<br /><br />Found my phone, oh dear it is bright. 3 AM. Who would ring a church bell at three in the morning? Then I knew that someone must have died. I was also thirsty, very thirsty. <br /><br />I got up, and flicked the light switch. Nothing happened. Switched it again three times, still nothing. Did we always have a power cut in the middle of the night? I never stayed up this late so I wouldn’t know. I reached for my phone, when suddenly the church bell rang again. I dropped my phone in shock, and it fell into pieces.<br /><br />Well, I thought, now I have to grope in the dark towards the kitchen and find a candle. I cannot possibly reassemble my phone in the dark. So I slowly made my way forward, and it was just my luck that a waning moon was throwing some light through the kitchen window. I had moved only a few inches when I saw that the house was in complete disarray. It was a sight that immediately sent shivers through me.<br /><br />Just before me, on the floor, was an arm! It had been removed at the shoulder (dislocated is the word I'm looking for), and from the looks of it it must have been separated from its body for many days. I turned away in disgust, and then I stepped on a cloth. With shaking fingers I picked it up, and discovered it was a dress, very worn and torn, obviously belonging to a little girl.<br /><br />What to do next? I was nowhere near to my destination, the cabinet where candles were kept. I couldn’t move any faster, because the kitchen floor was littered with teacups and plates and pans. And what is a tyre doing on the kitchen table? Who had left it there?<br /><br /> I stepped carefully, and was just about to open the kitchen cabinet when my feet touched something cold and sticky. Now what could that be? Who had visited us and left behind all this mess?<br /><br />Whatever the answer was, I had to have some light first. I found the candles, lit the first one, and then the lights came on.<br /><br />I drank the water. Then with a weary sigh I started picking up the children’s things. The Barbie’s arm, the tiny tea-set, the wheels of the bicycle, and the doll’s dress. Two energetic little girls can really drain an aunt’s energy, were my last thoughts before I drifted off to sleep.<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time I had this strange habit of washing my
clothes at two in the morning. I was not mentally deranged or anything, it was
just that I worked the night shift those days and 2 AM on a weekend was not
that late for me. A few years later one of my old roommates would often ask if I
still had that habit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time I was so thin that my collarbones stuck
out. We had a school T-shirt which we have to wear once a week (but it was not
compulsory). I rarely wore it, instead went for the normal shirt+tie, which I believed
hid my collarbones.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time my friends and I went to see a Star Wars movie and
all of us fell asleep at the theatre. I think they were showing The Phantom
Menace then.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time at Christmas a friend and I pinched and
elbowed ourselves all through the service because the preacher could not
pronounce Christmas, and instead said “Hri-ma”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time a friend borrowed one rupee from me and I did
not let her forget it. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time my hostel roommate and I buried ourselves
under the blanket, shaking with laughter. We found it funny that a fat
roommate named Hema was oblivious to the fact that we called her Mahe behind
her back and made jokes about her size.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time I believed that all stories begin with “Once
upon a time”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time I would read books before sleeping. Now I update
myself with what my friends and their friends are doing and then go to sleep.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time my friends and I packed ourselves in a
friend’s car and went for a ride, singing many songs, out of which the only
song I can remember now is “Baby you can drive my car”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time a friend and I would pretend that we were
giants who lived in a snow-filled world.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time I could sit down and without trying very
hard write a blog post in 1, 2, 3. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time a friend and I went searching for “Badam
Ghar” (we were told that was the name). Turned out the actual name was Almond
House (it was a sweet shop).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time I could never make new friends easily. Things
haven’t changed much.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time I bought a lot of books which looked
interesting. Many of them remain unread.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time I decided I would be a great novelist and started a serial-type story in a <a href="http://aduhiwrites.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">new blog</a>. Long story short, serial remains unfinished, writer busy with other things. (Also she ran out of ideas and was too lazy to pick up where she left).</div>

<br />
They weren't not in love. It's just that the subject, as such, never really came up. It kind of loomed over them like a blissfully stupid cloud. The love cloud<br />
<br />
<i> Guaranteed to rain on your brain, 'til you're<br /> moanin' with seratonin</i><br />
<br />
Maybe what was happening was that they were in love with the idea of being in love. But that's still love right? Instead of loving each other they loved an idea. An aspiration. A wish. The other person was more or less of an afterthought. Somewhat expendable, or at the very least, interchangeable.<br /><br /> <i> I love that you make me feel like I'm in love.<br /> You, on the other hand, I can take or </i><br />
<i> leave.</i><br />
<br />
Of course, it was just a matter of time before the truth of each other, the hard fact of their unique selfness, their one-of-a-kind snow-flakiness, became unavoidable.<br /><br /> <i> I may be a broken toy but you are a </i><br />
<i> Chinese crib factory that uses lead paint.</i><br />
<br />
Saying goodbye in these circumstances is always very awkward.<br /><br /> <i> "I just had your car towed."<br /> "That's okay, those Flip videos I said I erased<br /> are now on the Internet."</i></div>

<![endif]--><b>Scenario One:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are
in bed, safe inside a mosquito net, or so you thought. You discover that an
overzealous mosquito is trapped inside and is now flying around. You know you
are going to be victimised sooner or later.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Solution:</b> Switch on your mobile phone. The mosquito will be
attracted by the light and will land on your mobile screen, at which point you
will easily squash it and sleep peacefully.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Scenario Two:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are
asleep, and are woken by a mosquito buzzing around your head. You know that the
fellow is going to attack you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Solution:</b> Cover yourself completely, except for the face and
one hand. Keep your hand close to the face. Mosquito will land somewhere on
your face, with lightning reflexes you hit it and sleep peacefully. If you miss
it, you will have slapped yourself unnecessarily. Hehehe. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Scenario Three:</b> It is dark. A mosquito is playing tag with
you, and you cannot catch it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Solution:</b> Get up, switch all the lights on. If it leaves the
room, that'll be the end of it. You will not look for it, you will not pursue it.
But if it doesn't, you will look for it, you will find it, and you will kill it.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Scenario Four:</b> You are unimaginative.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Solution:</b> Buy All Out, plug it in, switch it on, go to
sleep. <i>Khallas!</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
A rusty iron barrel, medium sized, stands in one corner of
our terrace. It contains water which is regularly distributed among the many
plants and flowers that inhabit our jungle-terrace. As we all know, standing
water is a perfect breeding place for mosquitoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve never seen mosquito eggs, but the larvae
that hatch from the eggs are aplenty in the aforementioned barrel. And if left
undisturbed they will grow up and become mosquitoes. Which is a disaster in
waiting. Malaria on the rampage. Noisy buzzing and pesky insects up ahead. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I went larvae hunting.</div>

On a closer inspection of the infected barrel, I found that
if the water is still the larvae float up to the water surface and just hang
there. Being cool, I guess. Or simply receiving sunlight. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Larvae are a finicky lot. If you so much as wave your hand
above the water, they panic and head for deeper waters, which is not a good
thing for the excited hunter. One should cultivate patience, standing still
with hands above the water until the larvae have calmed down and returned to
the surface. But remember, the exercise will be futile if you just stand there
with your bare hands. One must be well equipped.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We were fifteen-year-old
classmates. He was quiet, intelligent, and a good friend. My soon-to-be- best
friend thought he was cute, and I had never really noticed him until then. Slowly
we all became friends, a big group of friends (wonder where they are now?). We
would hang out together, borrowing books and notebooks, taking long walks home and
gathering at a friend’s house after classes. We were young, and looking back at
our pictures I cannot believe how unbelievably young we were; I with my short
hair and innocent face, he with his shy and innocent smile. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I liked him, but not
in that girl-likes-boy kind of like. He was mad about music and books, and we
were at that age where we first discovered the wonder of novels, and the
freedom of reading non-study material. He would bring me his Sidney Sheldons
and Jeffrey Archers, and I in turn let him borrow the textbooks I had. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">On his sixteenth
birthday we went for a class picnic. My best friend was mad about him then, and
another friend and I followed him all day, essentially being pests. Maybe we
thought we were spying on him, but he didn’t seem to mind it. I guess I must
have harboured a crush on him all the time because I was just too happy to spy
on my friend’s behalf. Nothing developed between him and my best friend, and we
all remained good friends. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">In the Physics and Chemistry
labs we were divided into groups of four, and with a little manipulation we
ended up in the same group. There was that one time we used potassium permanganate
in one of our Chemistry experiments. We must have played around with the stuff,
and I went home with a big purple stain on my shirt which didn’t wash off easily.

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">It’s been many years,
and the memories are dim. College happened, we went our separate ways, and lost
touch. I am not big on keeping in touch, and it was a nice surprise when we ran
into each other on the streets some six years later. We said our hellos and
how-have-you-beens and not much else. Life had taken over, and suddenly there
were more important things, more important people. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">A couple of years back
another friend of our old group and I discovered each other on Facebook, and we
talked about the good old times. Somehow the conversation turned to him and I asked
if she had his phone number, to which she replied “He’s married.” I went “Oh, that’s
nice!” and that was the end of it.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The last perfect rainbow I saw was many many years ago, maybe 1999 or 2000, at the wedding of a friend's sister. It was the monsoon, and it was very cold. In the distance I saw the most perfect rainbow ever, and though it was quite far away I can still see in my mind's eye how it arched over the mountains, suspending itself in the crispy clear evening air, as if celebrating the joyous occasion with us.<br />
<br />
It has been raining very sincerely the last few days, with news of landslides and road blockages filling the airwaves and television channels. But today the rain let down in the afternoon and around 4 the rain had slowed to a drizzle, and the sky had turned blue, accompanied by a bright dazzling sunlight that blinds you. I immediately thought, wow there must be a rainbow somewhere, and peeked out the window, stretching my gaze to the horizon, as far as my myopic eyes would allow, looking for a rainbow. Alas, I did not find one, much to my disappointment. However, it turns out that a few rainbows had appeared in some parts of town, and below is one such rainbow photographed by fellow blogger <a href="http://eng-kim.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Joseph</a>. Beautiful, isn't it?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And then there is the song - Catch the Rainbow by Rainbow.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I read recent blogposts of my blogger friends <a href="http://mizohican.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Mizohican </a>and <a href="http://kukuipachuau.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Kukui</a>, and I was again amazed at the ease with which they write their posts in English, and of course their mastery of the language. I must admit I was a little envious. <br /><br />It’s been two months since I quit my job and came home, which means I have been communicating in Mizo the whole time, except for the two weeks I spent in Guwahati where one has to communicate in Hindi and English. <br /><br />Back in Hyderabad I had to use English five days of the week; and in the two days I was at home used Mizo and Hindi and English. I read English newspapers and books, watched English movies at home and at cinemas, and used English when I went shopping. My thoughts were in English, and my silent prayers were often a mix of Mizo and English. (God understands all languages and thoughts, right?)<br /><br />Then I came home, and it felt good and easy to use one language all the time, with everyone, everywhere. The newspapers are in Mizo, the TV programs are in Mizo, and there are numerous movies and serials (English, Hindi, Korean) dubbed in Mizo, but so far I haven’t watched any of them. Suddenly it seems there is no reason to use English anymore, unless your job requires it. But the thing is, except for the teaching profession there is hardly any job here which requires one to communicate in English. The only time I used English was when I went to the BSNL office and spoke to one official regarding the phone bill.<br /><br />What I'm trying to say here is, I think I'm slowly forgetting English. I know, I know, it’s been only two months, but in these two months I couldn’t write a single blogpost in English. I tried, yes, even started a few, but got stuck after a few sentences. It’s been about 300 words so far, and I'm already scratching my head searching for thoughts and words. Could it be that I've lost all inspiration, or have been too busy doing nothing? </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Amish Tripathi doesn’t want us to read his book “The Secret
of the Nagas”. He wants us to see the movie “The Secret of the Nagas” based on
the bestselling book of the same name. Well, that’s how I felt while reading
the book.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The second instalment of the Shiva Trilogy disappoints, but
not as much as the first book, <a href="http://aduhi.blogspot.in/2012/05/immortals-of-meluha.html" target="_blank">The Immortals of Meluha.</a> The author has thought
up a very interesting plot, action packed with plenty (way too plenty) of
characters. But where it fails is in the narration (again!).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Shiva is now comfortable being the Lord Neelkanth, the much
awaited saviour of India. He appears to have accepted his destiny and embarks
upon, well, saving his people from evil, which we discover, is not evil at all.
It’s really a manifestation of good in another form. “Two sides of the same
coin”, as the book proclaims till the end. Nobody is evil in this book. Not the
feared Nagas, not the arch enemies Chandravanshis, nor the notorious terrorist
Parshuram. All the evil (?) deeds they had done had logical explanations, and
they all submitted meekly to the Neelkanth once Shiva shows up at their
territories. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In spite of such a powerful plot, what makes the book
mediocre is the characters. You are not
sure what they want. Sure, they all follow Shiva on his search for evil, with a
few love stories thrown in, and too much travelling. The mother-son drama between Ganesh and Sati
was very Bollywood-ish, if you ask me. I can almost picture the grown (erstwhile
evil) son crying at his white haired mother‘s feet, while temple bells ring in
the distance and close-ups of goddesses come into view. What does Shiva really want in his heart? Did
he accept the position of the Neelkanth because he truly believed he was The
Awaited One, or because he wanted to gain the favour of Sati? You don’t find
yourself rooting for him, no you don’t. The cursing has significantly reduced,
but there we still see traces of crudeness in him. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The book takes us all over ancient India. Except for a few
sentences we don’t see much description of the lands, or the waters, or the
people. The author surely doesn’t lack
imagination, but I wish he would put more effort in the detailing of places. I
especially think the ship-bridge concept at the Branga ports and the growing
bushes at the Dandak forest was brilliant. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have said the book is action packed. For this it will make
a good movie (but let’s hope they don’t ruin it with Bollywood song and dance
sequences). Sometimes I feel there is
too much action and not enough breathing space. Team Shiva travels to City One,
meets some king and fights some baddies, uncovers some secret, then moves on to
City Two, meets another king, fights more baddies, uncovers more secrets, and
so on. The story moves at a very fast pace and suddenly introduces new
characters at each city the Team visits, without much info on what that fellow
wants, or without giving us a reason to cheer for him or boo him from the
stands. The result: I often get confused as to who is from where and what
position he holds (King? Prince? Knight?) and what the capital of which state
is. And there are simultaneous action sequences: such as the time Shiva fights
in the forest and Sati fights the tigers in the village of Icchawar. Something kind
of like the baptism scene in The Godfather. Wait, don’t even compare it with
The Godfather, that’s sacrilege, almost like comparing The Godfather with…… The
Secret of the Nagas. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One last gripe. The book dashed here and there, and in the
last forty pages takes us to the kingdom of the Nagas. And it was pretty much
smooth sailing from there, though the Team passed through the terrifying Dandak
forest there was not much trouble along the way. I felt the author wanted to
finish the book and rushed through the last two chapters. A few fights and
rebellion would make it more interesting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
And the big secret? It was something I had guessed all along
but never imagined it to be The Secret. The ending was a bit abrupt, leaving us hanging
in the air.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Why did I read the book? Because I wanted to know how the
story unfolds. Because I want to say I have read a bestseller. I visited a
bookstore yesterday and copies of the book were stacked bang in the middle of
the store. I did not take a look.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Now that the baddies have been found to be not bad, I’m
curious how the third book, The Oath of the Vayuputras, will be. In the first
book there was a mention of the Vayuputras but I have forgotten who they are
and I’m not about to go back and do some digging. They are probably some holy

his personal demons and make the transition from human being to god.</div>

At the advice of my fellow blogger <a href="http://blackestred.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">NotGood </a>I went and watched
The Amazing Spiderman this morning. Alone. Yes sir, with only me and myself for
company.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have always been scared of solo movie outings. What if
people think I’m a weirdo? What if I get strange looks at the refreshment
counter and at the ladies washroom? What if I am late and have to grope my way
in the dark all alone and sit down on the one empty seat in the already full
theatre? What if I laugh out loud and there’s no one there to laugh with? What
if this? What if that?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But the thing with what ifs is, they are unreal. They are,
most of the time, worst possible outcomes we imagined in our heads. And most of
the time they didn’t happen. Just like today. None of the things I was scared
of, the strange looks, the getting lost in the dark, the laughing out loud,
none of it happened. It was as easy as ABC. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So the moviegoing was a breeze. I booked my tickets online,
went to the mall, loitered around for a bit, went to the theatre just in time
to print my tickets and buy a bottle of water, and went inside just as the
movie trailers began. I found my seat easily, sat down, put my feet up, laughed
at the funny parts, and had a good time. Nobody cared if I was alone or with
the entire colony, nobody stared, and there was nothing awkward about it. The only
minus point was that I had to keep adjusting the 3D glasses over my glasses every
two minutes. Oh, and I lost the plastic spoon and had to eat the American sweet
corn (buttered, no masala) with my hands.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So, shall we talk a bit about the movie?</div>

Andrew Garfield? was my first reaction when I heard
he was the next Spiderman. I had only seen him in The Social Network, and he was an
okay guy, but I didn’t like his hair. Emma Stone, fine, she is cute, can act
well, and I thought she would be perfect for the role (though Gwen Stacy is not
the helpless girl Mary Jane Watson was).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But I saw the movie and Andrew Garfield was fine, yes sir he
is one fine man. Beautiful eyes, lovely smile, and tall. I like tall. Tall is
sexy. And the pairing with Emma Stone was perfect. Although they look a bit old
for high school students, the acting was very convincing. The hallway scene,
the awkward conversation, and the balcony scene, well played, guys, well
played. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In this movie we get to see the young Peter Parker with his
parents and were given a clue as to why they left and he had to live with his
Uncle Ben and Aunt May. I’m not going to narrate the whole plot, don’t you
worry. What I like about it is that it is more scientific. I like the fact that
Spidey did not just generate the webs and mysteriously shot them out from his
wrists, but that the webs were produced in a laboratory, or shall we say
cultured, and he had to wear a wristband like thing and it was from this device
that the webs came. The sticky hands and feet, the agility and amazing reflexes,
the super strength still came from the spider bite, which is absolutely fine
with me. The effects and all that technical stuff were of course, top notch.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Many reviewers say the movie is more emotional than the previous
Spiderman movies. Agreed. It was more about The Amazing Peter Parker than The
Amazing Spiderman. The discovery of his father’s research, the misuse of it by
the desperate Dr. Connors and the obligation that he had to stop it, the
teenage romance, and the conflict in his mind (about being a superhero), all
add to the emotional element. And Andrew Garfield (the fine, fine man) portrayed
it very well. The only thing I miss was there were not much of the witty
comebacks that we have come to expect from Spiderman. There was only one such
scene I can recall: the car thief breaks open the car door and as he sits comfortably
in the driver’s seat we see Spiderman in the back seat, and he says “If you’re
going to steal cars stop looking like a car thief”. I laughed out loud. Alone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
To sum up, it was a good movie, worth every rupee, I didn’t feel
out of place or awkward. It was indeed an amazing experience. Next stop:
Batman-The Dark Knight Rises. Releasing on July 20<sup>th</sup>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I spend most of my time alone. At work, at home, on the streets. I go
shopping alone, I go to beauty parlours alone, I go to outings and to
church alone. I travel alone and go to restaurants alone (But so far I
haven’t gathered the courage to watch a movie all by myself).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I like
having friends as much as the next lazy bum, but somehow it seems I
always end up alone. Maybe I repel people. Maybe I truly love being
alone. Maybe I am my best friend and the best conversations I have are
with my thoughts. Maybe I do less damage when I am my only companion. (I
use a lot of “maybe” in my posts. Maybe I just love the word. Maybe I
don’t know what I really want).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of us are born to be alone,
is my theory. I must have been a difficult child. When I first went to
school I wanted to sit next to only one girl, no one else would do. I
never responded to the roll call, and the teacher marked me “Absent” for
a very long time. (He suggested I was “behind” the other students but
was silenced when I stood first in the exam :P)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Growing up was
tough. I had friends, girls of my own age from my neighbourhood. But at
school, and then in college, I was the most introverted, shyest person
you ever know. I still am. I was the lost girl who couldn’t make
friends, who was always picked last for games, and who never joined in
the group games and activities (many instances spring to mind). Being in
unfamiliar territory just scares the living daylights out of me.
Proximity and attachment scares me too. I think I just want to watch
from a safe distance.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But don’t you want to make friends, be with
people, laugh and do silly things? You ask. ‘course I do. Who doesn’t?
Maybe I just don’t like being overwhelmed, or maybe I’m just a crude
person who doesn’t know how to behave in polite society.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Doesn’t
it get awfully lonely? Yes it does, it does, very very much. So much so
that sometimes we go out and try to do what normal people do, but the
ironic thing is we have lost touch, the know-how of what to do what to
say how to smile how to speak that we end up feeling even lonelier in a
crowd and it’s such a relief, such a relief to go home and open the door
and be welcomed by the silence and sit down and write blog posts like
this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Would things be diffrent if you had more friends? No it wouldn’t.
I have been part of big groups of friends, I have lived with many
people in one house, more than six people, mind you, and I still felt
lonely. Yes we had good times, the best times actually, and I was
adventurous, I was crazy, I was fun (or so I thought). Some of them
decided to remain my friends after the groups broke up, after everyone
went their separate ways to do their own things, and yet I, like an
ungrateful wretch, shrank away to my little corner. And I remain stuck
there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But doesn’t it get boring?
Hahaha. Wait, did I just laugh at the question? Apparently I did. Let me
laugh again just once.. hahahhaha. No it doesn’t get boring. I know
numerous ways to entertain myself, including writing this lengthy post
(already 600 words now). (Oh is that why you spend all your time on
Facebook heehee?). Well….. could be one reason. But sometimes I do get
away from the Internet and clean the house like a maniac, read books,
paint like a preschooler, take pictures of anything, do something with
my clothes/bags/shoes, speak on the phone, read newspapers, do puzzles,
play games on my phone, and go shopping. If the mood is right I might
even go to church and feel alone in the crowd and then the cycle starts
all over again.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A very familiar sense of déjà vu is in the air. One of my childhood friends is getting
married this week, to a man I have never ever heard of, that too in another town.
Yes, we are friends, but not the share everything types, so it’s very likely
that our paths may not cross again that very often in the future. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am at that awkward age where everyone is getting married
and having children (I’m forever buying wedding and baby gifts), and those same
people in later communications would urge me to get married soon because I was
turning so old. Aaaaaggghh! Is there no end to this? Will there ever be an end
to this? You know what would be cool? Being 45 or so and everyone giving up
hopes of you ever getting married and finally, finally being able to relax.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Does that mean I want to stay single the rest of my life? Of
course not! So does that mean I am in a predatory mode? Far from it. Am I looking
to trap some hapless innocent man into marriage? God forbid. But sometimes I despair,
yes I despair that I will never find a man stupid enough to accept me just the
way I am and want to jump off a cliff with me. I despair that I will be that old
unmarried aunt who gets passed around from family to family, sleeping in some
small corner and depending on charity. I despair that I will have to live with
rude nieces and nephews (and their children) who show me no respect. I despair that I will live a
terribly lonely life. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
What I’m really afraid of, I guess, is the thought of having
to listen to “When are you getting married” “You too should get married” and
such related questions. Ho-hum. The living alone part I can handle, being an
old unmarried aunt is <a href="http://aduhi.blogspot.in/2012/03/aunts-arent-gentlemen.html" target="_blank">something I’ve excelled at since birth</a>, and I am
confident I can earn a living to feed myself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So what’s this post really about then? I don’t know, maybe just
a little something to help overcome this too familiar feeling of loss and
despair and gloom. Maybe I’m fishing for your sympathy. Maybe the thought of
going home and finding all my friends gone is frightening. Maybe I felt the need
to write something new after bombarding you with picture posts the last few days. </div>
