  • Bait and watch

    He was always fascinated by tales of fearless hunters, especially the ones who laid it all on the line for a particular kill… and the ones who extended the thrill to their loved ones, and today he would join that elite, when he would use his wife as the bait, for that one spectacular kill.. ofcourse the fact that the intended prey would not be able to wound her fatally did dilute the effect, but he was still thrilled.. especially since she didnt know about it… in fact, she was quite surprised by his insistence on her spending quite a lot of time in the same spot..
    He had been hunting in the area for quite some time, and managed to kill most of its kith and kin, but it was a wily creature and had eluded him repeatedly, and was now alone, one of its kind in the expanse around… he remembered the ease with which he had single handedly annhilated the entire clan in his previous hunting ground, and felt confident…he waited patiently from dusk, for that was the time it started its day..
    she was oblivious to the drama she was part of.. it watched from far, it saw her, and then saw him, and immediately sensed the plan, the way any living being could, when its mortality was brought to the fore…but it was thrilled too, it smelt another chance of shaming him.. it approached cautiously, hovering around the area, but never too close… it saw her trying to get up, and him asking herto wait a bit… it saw him watching and acknowledged by making a closer foray than before…it would attack only when it was sure he was getting impatient and restless, and therefore careless…
    and she was the one to give it the opportunity… after hours of being in a place, she finally had enough of his reasoning and got up to leave… he was busy trying to stop her.. it sensed the opportunity and attacked… it had no intention to kill, just a bite, and his defeat … but the bite hurt her enough and she attacked, and so did he…but it was expecting the attack, and easily escaped… to fight another day…he swore in frustration…. Cox Town’s mosquitoes were indeed superior to their koramangala counterparts…
    until next time, reality bites…

  • The Super X Code

    It is time for one last stand
    Humans and mutants cant go hand in hand
    Its also time for the man of steel to land
    and demolish the bald villain’s castles in sand..


    When battles within and without make us sore
    Super heroes are what we are searching for
    Maybe we need to think about it some more
    Seems humanity is what we choose to ignore


    And if at the end of the road
    There is indeed a heavenly abode
    Would it actually lessen our worldly load
    If we managed to break the code


    until next time, rhyme is crime 🙂

  • Singh.. when you’re happy

    The Bangalore University syndicate is about to pass a resolution which will prevent boys and girls from sitting next to each other in class.. about time, i say, after all, each gender needs to have its own space… hell, no one objects when they make separate loos for guys and girls.. 🙂
    but you cant blame these poor profs.. when guys start roaming around with long hair, and girls with short hair and all of them wear the same kind of clothes, the profs need to be able to have some sort of separation to distinguish among them… no one is thinking about the poor prof, there he is, walking around the class, lecturing and sharing a joke, he slaps a student on the back, it turns out to be a girl, and the next thing he knows, he is slapped with a sexual harassment lawsuit…
    okay, okay…thats enough of slapstick.. while i admit that its not exactly the greatest move by the university, a few years back, it was definitely an unwritten practice among students to sit separately in college classes.. yeah, maybe Kerala was a bit on the conversative side of things… a lot of kids come to colleges from all boys or all girls schools and therefore it is their first chance to learn to behave and mingle with the opposite sex… and creating an official barrier in the classroom may not be a good start at all… but hey, that still leaves the rest of the college.. and i bet the profs are thinking that while it would be a good idea to have sex education in classes, having both sex and education in classes may not be a great idea…
    But the problem that could arise is that pretty soon, the entire lot of students being churned out of BU will be of a very reserved type… and that should definitely make Arjun Singh happy, he loves the reserved types…
    until next time, boys and girls, whats your say on gender blenders!!

    up down, peaking
    and plunge….

    until next time, if you have a share, now’s the time to take stock 🙂

  • What ya?!

    Thats my sister’s lingo :), and i bet if she knew Ms Vishwanathan, she would have said exactly that ‘What ya Kaavya?!’…. but yes, $500,000 is a lot of money… and while the blog community can make jokes on ‘How Kaavya Vishwanathan got rich, got famous and got ruined’, and we can all pontificate on the evils of plagiarism, we should maybe spare a thought on how a 19 year old’s mind works.. coz we have all been there, and its most definitely a different world indeed…
    For once, ToI (last Sunday) has done a good job in a purely journalistic sense, and given the story a coverage from different angles.. it acknowledges that a person of the calibre of amitav ghosh (who was her faculty in Harvard) feels that Kaavya did have a lot of talent, and the fact that everyone from william Shakespeare downwards have been doing a lil bit of copy paste job here and there.. and also the fact that the editor of both the authors (the one who copied and the one who was copied from) is a common factor…
    not that i am supporting plagiarism, but like the saying goes, its a crime only if you get caught…unfortunately Opal Mehta got a bit too famous and therefore ran a higher risk of getting caught..and Kaavya and the 40 thieved passages from one book and more from another book did get caught.. the world has changed since Shakespeare’s time, and information is too easily available for something of this sort to go unnoticed…Hopefully, she will get a life after this, and can pick up enough of the broken pieces to start afresh… for its a huge burden to carry, and theres still a long way to go…
    until next time, such is the prize of fame and the price of fame…
