Douche

Aug 3, 2017 11:00 pm

When the Douche steps out, the first piece he performs is the fixing his headphones. His are the kind of headphones where one of the ears goes around the back of your head. One might ask, "Why the hate over headphones? He's just being considerate."

I disagree.

A group of four people walk on the streets and keep you company. If you believe in something resembling a code, you'd have the fucking decency to be a good company. And you are not if you intend to mount the headphones. If it's hour for lunch and you wanted to catch up on your missed phone calls I'd understand. But you keep it away when you're done.

The remnants of the douchebaggery still decorating your shoulder irks me.

Pay day

The panic rising gives way to weakness. A quick calculation giving way to more fears than expected. This is something I've feared ever since I moved to the city. With rent and food prices exploded by this move, it's hard to keep up. Maybe, it's time to move on. But the debts of past are holding me back. Promises to keep. Plans to complete. The end of the tunnel as of now has moved further away.

Bountiful

Aug 4, 2017 12:00 am Grey t-shirt and faded denim. That's what she wore. Surprisingly, what adorned her upper part of the body is the detail I noticed much later. With her back turned towards me, the faded denim-ed bulge was where I lost my thoughts. I couldn't believe my good luck to be in the presence of such blinding magnificence. I was lost in that way too long to actually feel sorry and shame. I was reminded of Ragamuffin. Especially, the ill-fated date. She standing in front of the mirror. Stretching herself (Was she standing on her toe?), tying up her hair, the immense butt ostensibly overstepping the laws of physics. There was an unmistakable urge to walk up to her, surprise her with a hug and bury my lips into her neck and shoulder. Unfortunately, if she was giving hints, I was a total idiot to miss every single one of them. I walked away from her apartment, disappointed in myself and supposedly disappointing her. Maybe I should stop gazing this beautiful ...

Stories that got lost

It came to me when I was having an early dinner. It goes like this: My muse visited me last night. ("How did you know that was your muse?", "Two words. Proper introduction.") "What do you have that you can prove your existence?" I thought hard and long. I have a family, friends and strangers who brush against me and then forget to testify about my existence. But if I don't exist, their existence too is in doubt. (Which makes my muse non-existential on the top of imaginary, which in turn nullified the question. But then, that too doesn't matter.) I had a book in my hand, that contains the stories that have been written by me. I handed it over to her as a proof of my existence. Did she read the book? Did she found it bland? She couldn't comprehend my stories. Was I narcissistic about it? Beats me. I should have recorded my thoughts.
