Delusions...

2011-11-29T16:10:00.001+05:30

At times like these I feel like a total failure
Though no fault of my own
I wonder what and where I went wrong
A question to myself
With no answer I know will help
Am I angry?
Damn right I am
But am not going to blame you
It would have been nice if you would help
My eyes they say always have a story to tell
If you were listening
You would have seen the desperation and the sheer hell!

It's been so long dear blog.

Sorry that I've ignored you but I will write more often, starting today :)

What's with everything

2011-09-16T18:55:00.001+05:30

And everyone? Every single person I know is popping kids. Fine have them but do not tell me that I need to have one. I didn't tell you to make one so quit butting into my personal affairs!

Two letters FO! Oh wait dint you just do that?

Countdown to 30 - The List

2011-07-01T16:49:00.005+05:30

The journey to 30 begins. Am i excited about it? Damn right you are.
Now I know a lot of people especially women will think I am crazy, but 30 is gonna be cool. I am going to make it one helluva milestone.

The thing is that I’ve had a great 20’s. I pretty much blew up all my savings on a trip across Europe, I met them Formula One boys, I visited Ferrari World... I’ve pretty much ticked off a lot of things.

So what’s left to do? In no particular order here goes...

1. Watch a Formula 1 race LIVE!
Singapore night race or the Yas Marina Circuit or New Delhi circuit? One of the places in the year to come.

2. Go rafting / sky-diving / bungee jumping / Para gliding
I love adventure sports. So after sitting on the world’s fastest rollercoaster - Formula Rossa at Ferrari Worls, i am waiting for another experience to top that off. Sky-diving may be?

3. Get a tattoo
I’m thinking the eye of Ra or may be a paw print in memory of Tommy Leanne

4. Get slim -15 kgs in the least
God knows I’ve bloated over the years. Am getting on that exercise cycle and am going to eat right.

5. Dye /cut my hair / get a horrible haircut
~~I hate hair colour some colour. I love my black hair but I need to do something different. or maybe I could simply cut it or let someone experiment with it.~~ DONE - got the horrible haircut. F@#$$%#%

6. Get a scooter
I want one. Period.

7. Become a feature travel writer
Travelling and writing is something that I love too. And every since my trip to Europe I want to make it big as a feature writer. Am getting there, so wish me luck. Do visit my travelogue www.makewayforjo.com till then. Drop your comments, I love it when you write back.

8. Get drunk
I don’t enjoy drinking. I do have an occasional vodka every now and then but I can never understand why people get drunk. so yeah lets toast to an evening that I will come to regret.

~~9. Cut someone hair~~
~~It's been a childhood dream. Lets see if i can find someone to help me fulfill this dream of mine.~~ DONE

10. Buy a bookshelf
I have so any books that my mother pleaded with me to take get them out of her house. She needed the space for her antiques. Phew! So yes, I have cartons filled with books, cupboards filled with books, and a suitcase full of them. I desperately need a bookshelf to display my collection other than the virtual one i have. DONE

11. Have a fun girl-friends day out
I find girl friends absolutely annoying. There are just a few I love, the rest of you I tolerate. So if I ask you on this trip be honoured.

12. Go back to Europe
I really want to do this but I don’t know if I will be able to.

13. Meet friends from my childhood
Thank God for Facebook, this will be much easier. I do have a lot of people from school and college on my list. All I have to do is make that extra effort to go meet them in person. So buddies/girlfriends from Indian School, Muscat, St. Mary’s Convent High School and St. Xavier’s HSS and Goa College of Art, please take some time out to meet me.

14. Get a meow
A year and half back my Tommy Leanne D’souza went to Kitty heaven. Tommy was just not a cat, she was family. I miss her every single day. I love cats and I want to get another one, but I live in a city and that ain't a place for a cute little furball.

15. Start on my book
I’ve been writing to write this memoir. My grandmother had a very eventful life. A life span of 85 years across Africa, India, Europe, the Middle East and North America.

16. Make a baby
So they say you must have a baby before you turn 30 blah blah blah. I’ve never felt the need to pop one out earlier. While everyone goes gaga over them ‘drooling poopers’ I still have to find a reason to love them. This one is going to be the toughest. I am so not ready for this. So let’s see.

17. Start painting
Oils, water colours, pastels. There’s no greater satisfaction in life compared to the one I get when I paint. I wonder why i don’t paint more often? What could it be? No time on my hands? Guess, starting this year I am going to reclaim my life.

18. Social Media detox
Go one month without any of the social networks. For someone who needs to check my updates every few seconds this is going to be an uphill task.

19. Milk a cow
I dont know why I added this. By now that I did, it stays. Next time I go home to Goa and my village, I have to visit somebody who owns a cow. Thinking about it, it seems gross.

20. Make a YouTube film
Cheesy to the core. So much so that it guarantees hate comments and dislikes. Who knows it might just be the next big thing.

21. Get started on my Masters Degree
Need to get back to school. A major in Romanesque art. May be it could even take me back to Italy.

22. Pick up my passion for photography
I have the camera. Now it’s photo time. Note to self: Get that flickr stream running

23. Run a marathon
Not just any marathon but the Standard Charaterd Mumbai Marathon. I am up for it. Mumbai I am coming.

24. Go for a rock concert
It’s been almost 3 years, 4 months and counting that I have been to a rock concert. The Feb. of 2008 was when I made my way to catch Iron Maiden in Mumbai. Somebody, anybody please come down to India. I need to do this. My rock buddy Yateen, are you listening? We need to do this.

25. Drive down to Goa
I’ve always wanted to go on a road trip. Now that I have Chloe, my car, I think it’s time to put this plan into action. Boys - Bonnie, Lovell am looking at you.

26. Go without the junk
Live for a few months, at least three without carbonated drinks and junk food. This is going to be tough but I must do it. I need a system detox and I need it bad.

27. Give away my stuff
I have 36 pair of shoes, and this was the number when I took a count. So yes, I can use some new shoes. And the old ones I will simply give away. As for clothes, I would need a complete wardrobe change. There nothing in there except them black tees and blue denims.

28. Go on a trip with my bestest girlfriend
And her side-kick, her husband. Well they are super fun and I have not spent quality time with her after her husband dragged her away to another city. So here’s looking to catching up, on the road or on a holiday. Yea.

29. Learn Italian
Like really learn to speak it well. Over the past year I have been self-teaching myself. May be I would require a tutor or something, but this shit needs to get done. Si?

30. Be impulsive

What's my name again?!

I don’t love what I do
You cannot force me to change my decision
But it’s true

I want to go
This is the end for me
That I know!

So it’s been two years now. Really? Yes. And everyday has been… uh I honestly don’t know. Frankly I don’t care.
Now the itch has been getting real bad. May be I need to do something about it rather than just talking about it. So God help me please!

2010-11-11T19:04:00.001+05:30

Dear God,

Please God, I can see my dream materializing. You know I can do it and so do I. But will you help me achieve it? I know I have it in me; all I require from you is to let others see it too. I have worked hard for it. It truly is what I want. Am I happy today? YES! And I want to be happy always, doing what I love to do.
So please God, make this dream come true.

Signed,
A little girl with stars in her eyes

28 on the 28th. Once in a lifetime… so I will mark this great day in my life by getting myself marked for life.

A tattoo, I think I will finally get. The eye of Ra + infused with elements from my fave rock band Iron Maiden + writings in the ancient language of Thoth

Secondly for those of you who are planning of getting me something. I am going to put you out of your misery. Get me ‘The Complete Calvin And Hobbes by Bill Watterson’. Yes those of you reading this can pool together and get it for me.

Swishing her tail in heaven

Today my cat, my baby went away to cat kitty heaven. Tommy Leanne as she was so fondly called, was more than just a cat to me or us. She was family and will always be.

Here’s to Tommy Leanne D’souza

Missing you
I cannot remember when the last time was
I went home and you were not there
Meowing, vying for my love
Till I gave you all

I know you lived more than a full life
But I still wish you enjoyed more
But I now know you are free

Thank you Tommy for:
Listening to all my heartbreak stories
Silently understanding things that no one else did
Being my best friend, always sticking by my side
Never complaining
Having them ready-to-heal licks
Letting me rub your belly
Letting the little ones - Luanne, faith, Nathan pull your ears and tail
Always finding an excuse to rub yourself against me
Being my flower-cat at my wedding
Accepting Bonnie into the family
All the happy memories

Love you baby! Rest in peace.

2009-09-14T11:41:00.002+05:30

So tell me how does one manage to get kicked out of heaven?

Angel: Kicked out of heaven!?
Puleeez… (showing the finger to heaven’s gates)

I walked out, rather.

(Flash! A camera bulb goes off.)

Angel: Actually lots, I mean hundreds, no make that million of people are leaving heaven.

Why? Simply because we got bored.

There’s nothing to do! All day long either chat with nuns, priests, or newborn children who had no chance to sin. They don’t have any entertaining stories to kill the boredom.

I don’t know how I got to be in heaven.

Well I sat and I stared at the angels, and damn some of them are sizzling hot!

But guess with God being such a bore, we were not allowed to indulge in any fun.

No looking also!

Damn!

Can you believe that?

Well I looked and I started thinking and when I started thinking I started…

Beep. Beep-Beep. Beep. Beep-Beep-Beep. Damn f&*%@$* alarm.

Uh… where am I?
where are my wings? Goddammit!

Are you from the f@%#ing advertising industry?
You bet f@%#ing I am!
Now is that f@%#ing good, or is that f@%#ing bad?
What am I supposed to f@%#ing make of it?!
Who f@%#ing cares anyway?

F@%#ing rule number 1:
Your success in advertising will depend on the f@%#ing number of times you can use the word f@%# without having the next person react to it!

Now what is f@%#?
Urban dictionary defines it as. (f@%# Oxford or Webster’s!)
1. The universally recognized "F word"
2. N. Implying complete and utter confusion
3. N. a really stupid person
4. V. To procreate
5. adj. Can be used to modify any word for more passion
6. Int. Expresses disgust
7. Int. Expresses complete surprise and joy
8. adv. Can be used to make a command more urgent

Make a note this people. F@%# is the only word in the English language that can form a grammatically complete, stand alone sentence.
In your face F@%#ers

Or like how… I would normally say it DUMBF@%#s! (rolling my eyes)

Of late I’ve been:
filing my nails every 4 hours,
making faces at the computer,
staring at the black ball in front of me,
ogling at the ugly guy for no good a reason,
e-stalking people (some who I don’t even know),
typing then retyping the same thing over again,
spinning my wedding ring,
having the sudden urge to fight global warming,
scratching the lamp post,
making a death wish,
making a list of all the people (in my case clients) I would like kill,
eavesdropping,
uttering curses and profanities at the clock,
realizing facebook is so superficial,
wondering why people sitting next to each other tweet instead of talking,
stare at my phone wishing it would ring,
hating my phone when it rings,
wondering what Suri is up to today,
contemplating what’s in store on gofugyourself today,
starting things and not completing them,
infected with boredom!

Then you got married and left
You left for further studies
Then you left too
And you left just because you felt like it
Then I left
Then you followed me
Oh he also left
I knew you would leave
When did she leave
What’s happening dude, why is everyone leaving
Oh you are leaving too
When is your last day
I feel like leaving, but where do I go
Everyone is leaving, I need to get out!
I don’t know why everyone is leaving
I want to leave
So that brings me back to…
Who is left?

Baby pigeon with a note:
"I am too dumb to figure out that I am a bird. I could fly!"
SPLAT!

(evil laugh! evil evil laugh)

Her again!

2009-07-22T17:42:00.001+05:30

She sat there again
Sheltered from the rain
Playing with a stick
And shivering like wick
Lost in a world of her own
And no place to call home

So old
So frail
A mean world
Who threw her out
When there was
Nothing to gain

a little money, a lot of heart

2009-07-21T17:22:00.000+05:30

An old man
An old lady
Across each other
Hunched over heels

One for you
One for me
One for you
One for me

A rupee that you threw at me

There was so little
And eyes filled with pain
A heart full of despair
An a day without a grain

Transfixed I sat
Chilled to the core
My heart went out
But I could do no more

?

I am not a writer
I am an artist
I dabble with words
I play with colour
I am confused
I like words
I love colour
I like paper
I love canvas
I am missing drawing
I amazement of my own artwork
I miss painting
I need to paint
I need to do it right now

talk to me

2009-07-07T18:12:00.000+05:30

i don’t want to do
what you ask me to do
but the problem is
i too don’t know what i want to do

if i knew
what i wanted to do
would i be here
confusing you?

maybe it’s the aliens
interfering with the network
the signals are all wrong
and we are f&%$#d!

no it’s not the aliens
it’s the voices in my head
no i guess it was you
talking, to me?

so long

2009-07-07T17:56:00.001+05:30

It’s been so long
I forgot what you look like

It’s been so long
I forgot what I said to you

It’s been so long
I forgot how nice it feels talking to you

It’s just been so long
I promise not to ignore you any longer

I promise to come back sooner
Everyday

27 - 20

tada! That leaves you with 7 things you could get me.

So here’s what I need in order of priority.
1. A scooter.
2. Iron maiden flight 666 DVD (special edition) (I think my husband is getting me this, do check with him first)
3. Croc gumboots in pink, size 5.
4. A yellow i-pod nano skin.
5. A red i-pod nano skin. (yes you read 2 colours, not either or)
6. 2 tickets to Egypt
7. A Harley Davidson t-shirt or sticker.

Ok that’s all I can think of right now. If there are any modifications to my list I will let you know.

Looking back
I cannot put a finger
On one thing
That could have been different

Everything was perfect
Everything fell in place
Everything was a dream come true
And it was all because of you

All yellow
All white
More yellow
More white

With family
And friends

for the first time

2009-05-13T23:38:00.003+05:30

it feels like i am about to get married
it feels weird
and a little scary

the memories come flooding back
the fights with my baby brother
the keep out signs on my room door
the thinking long walks to the watering hole
the evenings spent with cousins
waiting for Papa to pick me from the bus stop
the "hungry mama" as soon as i reached home

every room holds a special moment
every wall has a story to tell
i see
me
growing up
falling down
rebelling
contemplating
dreaming

something is special here
something is special about this place
this place that i call home
