Adulatory

(continued from the previous post dated 18th May)
When we look through brightly tinted glasses, the view becomes
spectacular; its the same with the mind, as it becomes buoyant with
thoughts of special someone, innate faculties spread their wings and
embrace the air with joy and affection.


ash - sending u a quick mail today, dont have enuff time to draft my
long thghts...Am leavin early at lunch, have a docs appt..hope to see
u tomrw cos then i need to carry enuff of u over my weekend..
missed u around today, take care.



kband - i close my eyes and get lost in thought
peace within is keenly sought
fate's been kind with all its grace
she's blessed me with your smiling face
the lights are dimmed, the din gets low
my mind shuts off its yawning door
silence greets a rhythm unclear
i listen to your footsteps coming near...



ash - Ive been down, Ive been beat
Been so tired, that I could not speak
I've been so lost, that I could not see
Wanted things that were out of reach
Then I found you, and you helped me through
And you showed me what to do
That’s why, Im coming back to you.
And I wish upon a star
Someday I’ll be where you are
And I know that day is coming soon
Yeah, Im coming back to you.



kband - u are phenomenal, u are simply too good. it must have
taken u just a wee bit of time to pen down your thoughts - and what
a refreshing way to express the subtleties playing in your mind!
now don't let all that praise get into your head coz i don't want you
to grow two thick horns over them:) but do keep writing once in a
while, as your mood permits, with all that flair that characterises
your attitude.
hearing your voice y'day was some kind of an experience (am
worried abt the hole in your wallet), i wonder what prompted you
to do so. tried to get in touch a couple of times around 11 PM IST
y'day but you were not around. the situation at home is
unpredictable so just cant say when and for how long i can log in.
today, i'll be leaving office in the afternoon for an appointment and
head for home from there. as i'll be reaching home early, shall try
to blip on your radar from there (around 7 PM). Bye.



ash - Talking of my phenomenon, even a few lumens give the effect
of kilo watts in the company of a flashing opalescence. Thought
never escaped my closed mind to get fructified. Tomorrow never
comes and its today that brings me the opportunity to unleash my
thoughts.
Hearing you thousands of miles away was truly exuberant. I've been
turning the sound of ur voice over and over in my mind examining it,
like some newly discovered species of flower. Cant wait for longer
conversations, next time around I hope the disturbance by u is less
and I dont sound too yank-ish for u to infer. You still wondering wat
prompted me to call you? Well....Im wondering too, donno really
why I rushed, but I'm glad I did :-)

Perfect Passive Pictures

(continued from the previous post dated 8th May '06)
After a month or so we badly wanted to engage in 'active' convos -
make some sense of everything thru further indulgement of our
senses! Exchange of personal photos seemed to be the most logical
way of executing our gameplan.


ash - My first attempt in trying to replace the tactile mechanisms
of 'looks'.....Look forward to go ahead with touch, hear and feel too.
You are with me rite? And now ur cooments abt me are welcome.
I'm sure u have heaps, post 'em all..:)



kband - Hey, is that really you? I'm blinking in disbelief, i'm staring
at you' in dismay, and I'm rubbing my eyes once again - it's you
alright, my imagination had conjured up a silhouette of you, but
when it actually took form, I can't quite believe my eyes. Am I
undergoing the pygmalion efect? You petite beauty, how can you
call yourself a mom? You look like a sophopmore, barely out of
your teens perhaps, with all the jovial spirit glittering in your eyes.
And those pearlys - they're so infectious let me tell you, as if to say
why worry about anything in this world! The flowing tresses just
add to the aura of casualness in your style, and the dainty hands
and fingers weave a spell of soft musical melody accentuating the
ballad that is you.
What can I offer my nubile nymphet in return? How about the
other pretty flower in my life (attached)? You've mesmerised me
by your looks, thanks a zillion...



ash - You've elevated me to some height for nothing. I'm only an
ordinary soul here, and I'm not even adorned in the pic. Its truly
the beholder's eyes that sees beauty. I love ur eyes, can see them
in your daughter's eyes :) She's enthralling..beauty incarnate! And
now its her daddy I yearn to glance at. Wonder when he'll oblige me.
hmmI am so tempted to cut my hair really short, like a boy’s cut or
something, but guys around me are totally averse to the idea.
Everytime I am restless, I feel like doing something to my hair.
Then somehow I am at peace. I wonder, what’s the connection.
But I don’t understand why guys love long hair so much. I actually
prefer guys with short hair, spiky if possible. But then remember
Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas looked yum in their pony-tailed
look in Legends of the Fall and Desperado respectively. ;-)
Well, long hair, short hair, sometimes even no hair(!!) - i like all
kinds, i guess :-) Whats ur hair type and what do u like?



kband - well i hope you dont get too scared now when i tell u that
i've got sparse foliage which incidentally is reducing by the day!
something to do with the genes perhaps and more so due to my
irregular food habits. anyway u be the best judge when u see me
in the attachment (hope u dont shriek or pull ur own hair out).
i've made my feelings about you clear and in no uncertain terms,
i've never been a hypocrite in my life. i liked the pics of and ur
niece a lot too, they look so resplendant in those attires! dont
forget to keep me updated on your son's progress even though i
may forget to ask sometimes.



ash - Okay I didnt shreik or pull my hair out...Like u just the way
u are..you sure are my handsome stud muffin ...or shall I call u my
pumpkin pie? :-) Thanks fr sending me ur pic..means a lot to me..
You have a creative mind with acrynoms. but i dont like u calling
urself names alrite..so Ill wait fr another piece of ur work.

Blissful Showers

(continued from the previous post dated 25th April '06)
The rains brought a song to the lips and a rainbow in the hearts.
They also helped open the floodgates of memories and each of us
gleefully soaked in the abundant joy, feeling freshened and
enlivened. There were occasional thunderclaps prompting us to
scurry for cover!


kband - Good morning. It's pouring out here n the streets will soon
get waterlogged. I have to leave rt now othrwise I'll definitely get
stranded. Faulty phone lines are yet to be rectified, and i thought
i'll catch a glimpse of ur charming persona before i leave. But no
such luck, hope tomorrow brings better tidings.
Lets hope for best, we've still got each other albeit in the minds.
Till then keep those flutters under control and take care. Bye



ash - The monsoon rains signify romantic freedom. For me, it’s a
period of catharsis and spiritual cleansing. The smell of the first
rains, the damp earth, the first step on a puddle, the sight of the
looming dark clouds...plush ! splash ! plush ! march on the earth
and water. hmmm …. thats what I wanna do specially reminds
me of Goa one place at its romantic best during monsoons. Ever
been there walking around with the drizzle tickling your back?
and the roar of the waves reverberating in your ears? And how
do u feel about making love in the rain?...now thts a song? never
heard ? Alrite Ill sing it fr u as much as I remember - )

Making love in the rain,
I cant believe the joy it brings me
And when I'm all alone,
I hear the rain on my window
It's just a little thing, but it means so much to me
Our bodies together, while the rain plays a melody
When it's stormy outside, it's calm in my heart,
with you in my arms
And when you're away from me,
I wish it would rain cause it's always the same
Every raindrop makes me think of you
Wishing you were close to me
There is nothing that I'd rather do

Whoaaa! now Im lost..Nature is very benevolent and we can take
as much as we want, especially if it is a pleasure. -:)
See u tomorrow, (I may get late, cant tell yet).



kband - when i said its raining misfortune, i didnt mean the
catastrophe that befell y'day, it certainly isnt that.
just referring to the serenity that occupies the frame of mind
when thoughts of yesteryears come flashin back....flood of
memories....suppressed foolish desires....missed opportunities.....
the pains, the pleasures - all rolled into the sub-conscious. dont
u want to relive all that? dont u want to pamper the child in u?
dont u want to see the glitter in all the treasures that are hidden
away in ur closet? that's why i tell u make an effort to indulge in
ur creative leanings, they never die. they provide the vehicle to
take u back in time, to where u really really belong - the silver
lining to our present existence beset with demands, needs,
worries.....
sorry abt y'day, just beyond my control. it can happen again, any
day keep ur spirits flyin though, i got high stakes built into the
longevity of our nascent association. cant let it be nipped in the
bud thru indiscretion, hope u'll u'stand.
bye n see u sometime later tonite.



ash - I almost forgot to thank you for this beautiful advice. Such a
lovely way to counsel, I see a friend in you. Ill sure save this
thought. lets see when I find time in my hands...talking abt
memories- they are so emotional. And it doesn’t matter how much
dust of time settles on them. Somehow the memories of a time so
beautifully spent haunts me in times of solitude.
