Murakami,Mottai,Madness

Murakami,Mottai & Madness !


MURAKAMI

"Bad trip book dude!!" said my brother, when i borrowed his book! I did not know what he meant until i got to the 10th page, it was a trippy book, Murakami is a genius. How on earth did he come up with such Stories??? How did he create such characters?? Murakami takes us on trips, trips you'd never want to go on..3 Books down in 4 days, im dazed,confused and spellbound!Exuberant Story telling Mr.Murakami.

MOTTAI

Mottai is almost a Character from Murakamis book:) in a good way!!A Beatles fan,She made me listen songs that only 2 people in the ENTIRE world WOULD have listened to.. the ARTIST AND HER AND now ME! A friend of mine,A fellow Kebab lover, she shall be referred to as Mottai henceforth,A grammar nazi who thinks my spellings are "abominable" and after this blog and all the bad punctuation's she'd probably faint! She sees a silver lining in everything,soft spoken girl who likes to lie down in the beach(without a sheet),loves star gazing and is in awe of the moon,she loves 29C and enjoys bus rides and she treated me to a bus ride,one of the best ive had:)!Say she's a stop clock and the time is about to run out,someone like her can always be counted on to hit the stop button!Thank you Mottai for being there, im sure you dont know..but thank you!


MADNESS

7 years Ago i was a happy go lucky Drunk,2 years ago i became a moody drunk for various reasons and in the last few months ive been crawling at the knob of the door to alcoholism,ive done the stupidest things,met the most random people. Ive read Freud and Kafka and Murakami and Harold Robbins and ive been having dreams,Dreams that symbolize reality of sorts!Dreams about peaches and snakes, i detest both! Suddenly i decided to blog, more scribbling than blog, its been the most maddening 3 months of my life! I had to write something about it and i came up with this. Murkami might jus like this blog and Mottai would probably think this is complete blasphemy, doesnt matter i have to write what i have to write!

Men want a marriage and women want guarantees - knowing men these days, it’s the least women can do to protect themselves.

I got the following email after a 2 week break from a 'I don't want to talk to you ever!’ kind of conversation from my girlfriend to which I have added my interpretation in brackets.


Rules for the boyfriend (fiend maybe?!)!!!


Rule 1: Never go to bed with an unresolved issue (Say she's right!)

Rule 2: Stick to the issue at hand. (Don't talk about her, agree to what she says)

Rule 3: Never use personal attacks. (Jus shut up!)

Rule 4: No shouting, throwing things or crying (Make her understand that men are drama queens too, we choke too!)

Rule 5: No logging off or hanging up or throwing a fit. (Hell hath no fury than a woman’s scorn, so I realized when my girlfriend honked outside my house at 2 am to ensure I didn’t leave her side until the issue was resolved)

Rule 6: Notwithstanding anything mentioned in Rule 1, an overnight break can be taken on mutual agreement. (She might dump you!).

Rule 7: In case if the fight is getting from bad to worse, then things are to be conveyed in a different way, a sober way.(Don't you EVER talk back.)

Rule 8: In case if one passes some inappropriate statement then, he/she can apologise then and there, the other one doesn’t hold on to it, will let it slide.(IF she says something out of line, don’t you dare bring it up EVER, if you have done it, God save you!)

Rule 9: One is allowed to hug between fights.(Completely surrender and use it wisely).

Rule 10: The boyfriend needs to follow all the above rules always! (Aye aye ma’am, do I have a choice?!)

'I love you' she said, I know she meant it. I had goose bumps EVERY time she said it. The weirdest feeling would creep over, a good weird feeling I could not understand and I did not want to.

Life just causes so much confusion, a friend of mine told me yesterday ''life dint cause any confusion, you did !!! '', the thing is, I'm writing this and I want to blame life and I will ! Why?? Why because I'm the station master!!!! That's why.

Anyways, I miss being missed by her, nothing to do with attention seeking but generally!

I have this unique talent of complicating the simplest of things and the simplest of relationships and problems into a tidal wave!! Ask why?? BEcause... That's ME.

I can make people who love me to hate me and the people who hate me to love! What's the use?? No use. I end up blogging like this!

You're not there to kiss, you're not there to hug,you're not there when I'm eating mutton chukka!

I don even feel like eating MC anymore!

Hey now I'm an all star, get the game on.. heyyy!!!!!

4 drinks down, 3rd session in 2 days, 3 things one can think of:
1)Money
2)Women
3)Her

Money I don't have,Her I'm not getting or shes doesnt want me, my problem is money and her, I'd rather focus on what I can get than what I'm not getting.

Let's say, I miss a girl, when I had her or rather when she had me, this weren't the rosiest(read I was a dick) and suddenly I realized that's she gone and my gut feeling tells me that she might never come back!

From a happy drunk, love or the lack of it pushed me at supersonic speed to a habitual drunk, I drink to hide the fact that miss her, I think of her when I'm drunk.

Let me see, everyone has insecurities and I was rather gifted,I must say, god gave me insecurities and weaknesses,.
Well, I'm not the person who can handle both .

Songs remind me of you, dramas remind me of you and prettty much everything reminds me of you!

I miss you

Perso, Mistet,Втратили fuckin lost!

Nulla Dies Sine Linea

Whisperings of a lost soul

The daily boodha walks and talks wisdom.

In him sleeps a powerful animal and restless animal. Where does god go to when he's confused? God is omnipotent,omnipresent and pretty much all the omnis!

Is it a sin to be brilliant? How does it work? Does god need luck? Does luck need god?

So much to write! So much to say!

Grass in green! Who needs green?the world needs more grass.. Wrap em up I say!!

Whishperings of a lost soul ..

yalla!

Rich or poor, strong or weak,every man,when beaten,fights back!
Its called being human.

When a man get's beaten down in love,business or generally, he needs to stand up and fight back. You may not win, you may not lose but one needs to get up and stand !

Life as I see it,is like a desert and we are like the bedouin,we wander all our lives looking for something, the elusive oasis or the promised land.

It may be days or months or even years before you find it but once they do,the Bedouin become settlers,the settlers become communities and the communities become kingdoms.

The once humble children of the desert become rulers of the land!

All of us need to find the promised land and by god we will !

I'm on my camel now looking for my promised land!

YALLA !!!

13teen!

On my 13th birthday I decided to do something which would leave a mark on the world.
I was not smart enough to get into Harvard,I was not stupid enough to climb machu picchu and so i did what an friend always told me “those who can,DO! Those who can’t,write books!!!)I knew the category I belonged to.
I went up to my teacher and expressed my intentions,my ever diplomatic teacher,NEVER let diplomacy come between her and me,she said I was the biggest idiot in 6th grade and it would take me 30 years to finish the book..She also said “Do your homework on time first”…Well she was right ,its been almost fifteen years and im still figuring out the foreword !
I think forewords are an utter waste of printing ink and add gives nonsensical details about the author which we couldNT care less about!!
Why did I write a foreword? Well,95 % of book readers like to read the foreword,that is about 1.8 BILLION people ,who love to read about about another man/womans life.
Hope you enjoyed reading it !!!!

Leh ! DAY 1

After many grueling hours at IGI,it was finally time for us to board the flight to LEH!

The aircraft flew over beautiful snow capped mountains,It was the gateway to paradise and i was eagerly waiting to see "Shangri-La" !

As we approached closer to leh, the aircraft swerved to the left and right, for a minute i was confused if i was in an auto in Mylapore tank or in an Aircraft, I wasnt sure if the pilot said we were descending or we were shot down, alas,it was the former and we safely landed in the beautiful airport which was approximately the size of the Ball room at the Taj. The moment we landed i was hungry and wanted momos, apparently even the ladharkis did not eat momos for breakfast,which i assumed they did for some strange reason. We hired a cab and went to our hotel and we met up with Ms.Amita Leh,one of the best hosts and *boot camp instructor i have ever met (*Tsemo palace hike).

We had breakfast and retired to our rooms to get "acclimatized"to the weather.The room was beautiful, had a tiny little bed(really tiny) and side table and a nice clean restroom.

We were trying to figure out if any of us had AMS (Acute mountain sickness)

-is an illness that can affect mountain climbers, hikers, skiers, or at high altitude (typically above 8,000 feet or 2,400 meters).

I was none of the above,i was boy from the plains air dropped into the mountains!!!!

The world calls it ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS but we Tamilians call it

"Afterall mountain sickness".

Finally we woke up by 3 30 pm and went for a stroll and had lunch and lamayuru a popular local restaurant. I had some lovely momos and black tea and some and curry and chicken and a lot of other stuff. We went for a another stroll and went back to our hotel and Slept. That was day one and more blogs coming up soon.

this blog is completely incoherent and i hope to make corrections when i log in next time, the info on the page are true!

Mon Petit Choux!

Mon Petit Choux!

Strophe

Life draws its own map,we jus walk on the dotted lines.We stop,stare,Pause,run,Jog but NEVER in the opposite direction..never !


Antistrophe

Im confused,the fire was staring at me, It was reading my mind, not helping my heavy heart in anyway,sins and more sins "My mind's distracted and diffused,My thoughts are many miles away"
They lie with you when you're asleep and kiss you when you start your day :(!

Epode

Jus as the song goes "Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you!"

An ode to what happened,what must not have happened and what MIGHT HAVE BEEN!

Page 473

The old familiar roads,the rains,the cobble stone pathways,noise,smoke,music and of course the sun!!
Ingredients needed to complete a day,the familiar sights and sounds,so strange they look and sound,incoherent thoughts
flooding the brain,familiar songs that sound strange,ideas gettin filtered out even before they come,
feels like sand on the beach,nice to step on,difficult to step out,tiny particles that irritate the daylights outta you !!!
Too Difficult to walk barefoot,but u have to go on!!
nothin makes sense.
A halo from nowhere takes u to strange high's a feeling that cannot be written or spoken about.prey or predator?
Strange noises from inside,where will they go?they Keep coming,hold my hands lets cross this together.
The Elusive Bed,the elusive dream,a fairy godmother waitin to hold your hand,a weary traveler who knows not his destination or destiny.
Strange...but true.

noir ou blanc ????

I wrote this for someone,it no longer has any value or sentiment or meaning to it.

I just feel good when i read it,

I remember writing this when i was in LOVE and was SOBER:),

Its my best work till DATE:)
============================================================

She exhale's the universe upon her lungs,

She wake's the angels with the stroke of love…

She's wordworths' Lucy….

Keats' Fanny

Napoleons' Josephine...

Le petit Chou de Mon roi...;)
===========================================================

Kickin Down the Cobble Stone...

Its one of those rare rainY days here…
Im feeling lonely and cold, I wish you were here, right next to me, loving me.
I can feel your kisses going on my neck, holding you tight, your eyes looking into mine…

I can feel the whispers in the room, the smell of perfume in the air and candles laid out on
the floor., I feel intently passionate…

The clouds are thick; the rain heavy, its been raining all evening...my room becomes our own little kingdom.
A carefree paradise, where love is in the air, a world where everything is possible as our bodies become one. Our souls come together..

Passion filled hearts and dreams OUR dreams….

Drops of water from the clouds, fall like drops of love on us...

I wish I could kiss you..right here.
Your lips on mine.... we cruise down the highway of love……..
I wish it never ends, this dream of mine.

120 miles per hour

"The love you make is equal to the love you take, but it doesn't always come back at you from the same source.".....

I ran as fast as i could and sat in my car,i buckled up,I didn't even have time to pant.

I could barely clutch on to my keys,my hands were trembling,i managed to turn my car on.I had no time to think,i stepped on the pedal,she roared,I did not look back,i sped into the horizon,too scared to turn back,I wished she would jus take off,my car was my soulmate,she's witnessed many of my moods,what i'd do without her?!

After driving mindlessly for 90 mins i stopped,i turned around,there was nothing.

I realised i was running from my past,my past coouldn't catch up with me,but i know i can't keep it away for long,i heard a voice say in the evilest of tones

"you can run,but you can't hide boy!!!"

Res Ipsa Loquitur

Ive Smoked weed,Ive tried pot,ive been stoned and i LOVE whiskey on the Rocks..

I love grass,I mow my lawn every week.

I've tried the best of cheese,seen my share of sleaze,

I know my wine and my vices well,ive seen Peaks and ive seen troughs,

I've built castles on my peaks and dug tunnels in my troughs,

Im not a pagan,im not a beast,im a comman man.. i am ME!!

Aham Brahmasmi

**aham Brahmasmi:"I am God." Famous phrase often repeated in the Upanishads. In this ecstatic statement of enlightenment, "I" does not refer to the individuality or outer nature, but to the essence of the soul which is ever identical to God the Supreme Being.

Hamara BAJAJ.. HAMARA BAJAJ....

Do you remember this advert?! the chetak scooter?!This is one of my all time favorite adverts..

Days when people "WAITED" to watch their favorite Adverts.

I decided to write about this after i saw this big hoarding on the road for the new ford fiesta it read :THEY CAME THEY SAW..they went fida!!!

What the hell is FIDA?!"I came, I saw, I conquered." wasnt that a line by Julius Cesar?!?!Made in abt 47 bc?!?!?This is not repacking those lines! this is a rip off!!! a cheap rip off?!?! the people at the company had to rip off a line from Julius cesar?! and the boss approved it!!

Maybe this is how it goes... A big carmaker gives u whopping deal... u hire a few Nincompoops,spend loads of dosh on them,get a big star in the advert..surf the internet..steal lines from great peeps..Add words like "FIDA"to it and Actually SHOW it to ur boss..who approves it!! way to go !!!
Buland Bharat ki buland tasveer, Hamara Bajaj. then the new ad which featured all the bikes from the bajaj stable ,the bikes avoid running over the rangoli!!!An Advert in which a man gives lift to an old lady at a bus stop,when there's a HOT gal standing there..Adverts like these are not great concepts..simple day to day things packaged well... and these adverts make u feel good at times :).
There was this advert Cadburys i think, ONE ball,Six runs and the batsman scroes and his wife runs into the fld,dodging the guard,and goes on her knees,and this guys covers his face in embarassment...And the line goes "Kya Swaad hai...Zindagi kaaa".. and another unforgatble ad i like is the Moods Condom ad... The Ye Kya Hua song! Wow.. Its so difficult to sell a condom ad in india,and its even to difficult to sell it with SOME erotic scenes.. but this was a a soopar job done by i dont know who..but Hats off to that team!!




PS:Before i go,i saw this poster,this was a poster by a leading condom manufacturer this is what it read
