My Chance at Immorality

Lately, Orkut has been in news for all the wrong reasons or right depends on how u look at it. Some girls pictures were put up and wrong information was provided about them, which caused them trouble. I wouldn’t have known any of that had I not received mails from friends to let me know about the said incident and advising me that it would be prudent for me not to upload my picture on Orkut. What if my picture is used for pornography?

I did not take heed not because I dont respect my friends advices, but because I didnot see the need. Second why would anybody take MY picture and use it for pornography. I mean who am I. There are scores of people who are into this business then why would anybody pick up a random picture that most probably wont even gel with the works. And even if say my picture does get chosen, how the hell will I ever know unless someone I know is majorly into pornography and reports to me about the event.

Will that cause me embarrassment? I don’t know. Why will anybody who knows me believe that it’s me in the picture? Say they do believe it, so what? Haven’t people been that path sometime out of curiosity or just because it is one of their staple needs. So if someone you know is a porn actor how come it becomes unacceptable? And most importantly how do you define pornography, will someone explain?

I am pathetic at, and do not like networking. The only reason I am on Orkut is cause some of my friends are away and it is just another way to keep in touch with them. Another thing, I hoped to come across some folks from my school and college. So far my search has not been successful for simple reason that how do I recognize them without their pictures. I see the names, but how do I know these are the people I am looking for. I am not interested in making friends with strangers or good looking guys or people with similar interests, it doesn’t work for me.

So my picture stays up there, if I cant find them then maybe they will find me.

Broken Dreams and Different Philosophies

Sometime back I had received an SMS that the hutch dog is dead and now they are looking for a monkey and I should send my picture and resume to them. I was elated finally I found my calling. But I wanted to play fair so I sent the message to all my friends. Kathy said he would lose hands down if I applied, other friends were of the same opinion too. Ganju took the first flight to Mumbai, it was a Saturday, but went back when she realised I was her competition.

I knew I would face no problem as far as physical appearance was concerned. The human characteristics and behavioural pattern that I had acquired over the years might prove a deterrent. So, there was only one thing I could do I had to completely give up contact with the humans. Also I had to work on my inherent monkeyness.

The first thing I gave up was blogging, as that was the most human thing I used to do. Instead I took up activities like tree-climbing and snatching stuff from passers-by. Not even the incessant complaints to my parents could deter me from working towards my goal.

It is very difficult to give up old habits. But being a monkey is fun and simple. So I was willing to put in the hard work. Alas! If only I had known that the hutch network is jammed most of the time not cause the dog is dead, but cause……… well I don’t know. The dog is alive and following.

Anyway it was fun while it lasted, the monkey business that is. So you humans gonna see more of me from now. Kindly adjust.

The drama here ends
The curtain falls
In the deafening applause
I bow out

Sex is a Responsibility

Just watched a movie on the hallmark channel. The movie is called,'Mom at Sixteen'.

The story is about this girl who gets pregnant at 15 and has a baby boy at the age of 16.

In the end the girl addresses her classmates. This is what she says.
You can get pregnant whether you are practising safe sex or whether you are not.
It can happen to you and it can happen to anybody.
They tell us that sex is just one of the things we do.
The movies the magazines tell us that.
They lie to us. The world lies to us...........................

Sex is a big responsibility.

For Maxi, Dim, and I.


Aankhon mein sapne liye
Ghar se hum chal to diye
Jaane yeh raahein ab le jaayengi kahan
Mitti ki khushboo aaye
Palkon pe aansu laaye
Palkon pe reh jaayega yaadon ka jahan
Manzil nayi hai anjaana hai kaarvaan
Chalna akele hai yahan
Tanha dil, tanha safar
Dhoonde tujhe phir kyoon nazar
Tanha dil, tanha dil, tanha dil
Tanha dil, tanha dil
