See, I am this very mature, pragmatic and realistic person who doesn’t believe in ‘happily ever after’ or romantic love stories that I read or watch in movies. That’s just ‘research’ for ‘understanding the human psychology’ and for those who may have seen me cry while watching “KKHH”, “DDLJ”, “Object of My Affection” or “When Harry Met Sally” for the nth time, well, it was just that I have a problem with my contact lenses, which make me LOOK like I am crying, when I am actually NOT. And just for the record, I have read ONLY ONE M&B and two Danielle Steele novels in my life.
Anyway, so EVEN for someone so practical (as clearly established above), there is something about the Mumbai rains which turn me into a hopeless romantic. I just can’t help it.
It makes me want to go to Goa, get drenched and dance (jump up and down) uninhibitedly...
It makes me want to go back to my college days and sit on Marine Drive just staring at the sea…
It makes me want to cuddle under the blanket, eat khichuri and aloo bhaja…
It makes me want to go back to school and play football (even though I was the goalie) because that was the only way I could spend some time with the boy…
It just makes me cry... (damn the lenses)

@ Nef - The fact that there are only 4 people (counting you) who comment on your blog makes me a sad person? Ill post a reply if I ever do figure that one out :-)
ReplyDelete@neil
ReplyDeletei repeat, 8 followers to my 35... case closed.
Do any of those 35 actually read your blog or are they just there on that side tab to show their mock support?
ReplyDelete@neil
ReplyDeleteat least i have mock support; i dont need to prowl around on other POPULAR blogs to find readers...
Those people and I hope they dont read this, are like the Left parties when they first supported the Congress. Present on paper but absent everywhere else.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of absenteeism, someone has been missing for a couple of days. Bring her back!
@neil
ReplyDeleteYou only like my depressing posts. U LIKE SEEING ME UNHAPPY. Why can't you enjoy my brilliant sense of humour and cynicism towards my work as well??
Maybe you're right. Or maybe that's when the real Nef shines. Think about it. Im just the messenger.
ReplyDeletei loved your expression in this one:) as refreshing as the Mumbai rains!!
