Memories and Memories and then some. Saw this huge water rat years back, it was fabulously scary, if there is a word as such, terrifying, huge, furry and walked on its two legs with a long tail, had pretty sharp teeth that it snarled out when it sensed danger. I saw this creature some 10 years back and then I saw it again yesterday in my backyard, brought back a flood of scary thoughts,...

Monday Morning's are Fatal and then Some
Its a Monday morning and work beckons, there are like a million of things to do once I get to work, one for instance I must talk and maybe sometimes even let it lose at people who just got in. I begin to understand this mentality now, that we are just Indians, we start work late on Monday and end it early on Friday, see we work so hard so we must party hard as well. Like I say, I only...
This Ones Seen It All
My life seems to be a roller coaster today, there seems to be emotional upheavals that are hard to ignore, I seem to be seeing all there is to see in this world this Sunday. Last I was at this stage, my friends had deserted me and I had given into their demands of me being the one who would be making the comebacks. Today I am a much different man, I revel in the kind of loneliness that...

The Perfect Tense
Seen some Sunrises and then some, can't believe what is happening nowadays, if I am to agree to some thought processes, they would tend to push me towards an independent free thought, benign of any malice and freer than any man in the US of A, after all, this free man just got a bit more independent. Picked up this book the other day that challenges all our thoughts and motives behind...

Riding with the King
Logic has always served me correctly, even it means seeing and then not believing, I don't always believe what I see yet. The point I am trying to make is our perceptions make our world and who makes our perception ?
Its like this if I walked into a mall and asked for a cup of tea, there would be another bunch of people asking me to have some chocolate with the coffee. There would always...

Triple J's and an Icecream Sunday
Tried locating my best buddy today, searched the heavens and down to the hell, all the signs were there, I was being told by the heaven above to go get him. Honestly, I have been trying to do that for 5 months now, trying to locate where he is, what he does and where he stays, who he bonds with, even trying to find out what he eats and when. There is this philosophy I follow called, "develop,...
The Bee-World
Interestingly. last I bought my cologne it was from a chemist shop, I trust this guy, because he gives me what I want and I have not had any complain from him. He stocks up everything from medicine, aspirins to cheston cold, he has everything, Lim-C and you will even get a bottle whisky from the nearby "theka" if you ask. Smart and well dressed he just goes on and on about the medicine...
They Just Started Killing Mars
From tiny tots prams to demistifyers in cars I have seen them invent everything, even screamed at them sometimes for not justifying the kind of money I spend on them. Do you realise that my habits are known to everyone now, when I am at work they know that I might not have food if I come in early because then there will be meetings post 12pm, they also know if I come in the mid-ranges like...

Cloudy Lonely Mornings
I will be damned if we believe it to be true
That these folks are here for sure,
No one comes and no one goes,
From this kingdom I behold,
The promise of a true dawn is just that,
Loads of balderdash and a bit sad,
But if there be a man who will sail this ship,
And the weathers got me a bit under as I sip,
These days I think of you as much I do of that kid,
The rogue who slipped a fast one and...
True Smoke
In school there was always a crowd of people who would want to meet you and talk to you, remember, you were the school captain, and as a matter of fact acknowledged as the peer amongst peers. Truth be said, those were some of the best days of my life, when there was nothing but this feel of going to school and doing as best could be done. No thought of life or of where it was headed,...
2010 - Reality re-defined
Re: The Matters of the Heartmessage Author: BrandonEmail:brandon@bran.netDate:2010/03/17 9:32amForums:personal.offbeat.letters
My sympathies !! .. This world is coming to an end, I can feel the end is near and the people of this world are beginning to feel the heat. My world has definitely ended, I have felt pain and even felt cheated at the thought of people taking away my good fortune.
Good...
Did You See My Reality
The memories are unending, and they go on and on for eternity, I heard this sound recently that reminded me of how people would wake me up when I was a small kid. I would be rocked and then called out to, my name never being mentioned, just mentioned in a light tone. It is this feeling of utter security and bliss that I got then, I was important to people, probably the most important...

The Grapes need Sun
I soar the empty skies, looking for my prey, I am not in it for the pleasure, but for the feel and intuitiveness I derive from it. You can see me flying low mostly, I am small and very pretty, I stay away from the maddening crowd, look for my own for I have several mouths to feed. I hunt at the break of dawn, look for peace as dusk descends and without fail I have the meal on the table...
I am five ... Going on Perfect Ten
The new year just went by in a flash, there were sights and sounds those that hadn't been around for a while, that exist today, it's just amazing that people live their lives thinking of something without doing it. When I think I just do it, this year 2013 my resolutions were clear, and I had only three things in my mind :
Act 2 Scene 1 Popularity
Everything and everything is determined...

The Bugle of Sadness
I live on the streets,
Live a lonely life,
It brings me no pleasure,
Its a job that I do,
Believe me I am lonely,
No friends to back on ,
A tired feeling in my head,
That breaks up into a million pieces
As I wake up to tomorrow,
I can feel my world taking a nosedive,
To the calls of the world,
which holds no meaning to m...
All Substance No Frill
This has been a day of mixes, one for instance I have tried to build it up to a crescendo, succeeded yet I have mixed feelings in my head. I am thinking of going away from all of it, there is nothing that convinces me that this life is going anywhere. I have tried just about everything to make it work and yet I am plagued by doubts. Have no friends today, no family, I move with...

Back From the Dead
These days when I make coffee, I dream up ways of making it, for instance do I put a spoon of coffee powder or do I put another spoon of hot milk in it, all million dollar thoughts. There is wonder in almost everything I do nowadays, when I talk I revel in my voice, I listen to myself speak, I haven't spoken in a couple of days now so it must be marvelous for my brain to hear my own voice.
Status...
Sweet as a Hornets Nest
I just love Diwali, it really is the spirit of the season, think of it, spirits ranging from Vodka moskowa of course, Gin pure Gordon and Whisky Blenders Pride, to work the mood and the spiciest of dishes to get me moving. I believe that I am not a very smart person, for instance I don't know what to do if the engine oil light comes on in my car, or if the fuse blows up in my house, in fact...

Is This Your Reality Today ?
March of 1997 was a monumental month and year in my life, I guess its a wonder that I am going back beyond 2001 at all, however till 1997, I was a slave, slave in a world not mine, slave to the capitalist theories and consumerism habits. Mostly everything we have in life is free, include the food we eat, water we drink and air that we breathe. This world that I walk in was meant to be...
Yesterday !!!!
Rape, mayhem and arson everywhere, my world I think went berserk today. Effigies were burnt somewhere and someplace else there were like a couple of cases of rapes reported overnight, corruption charges and counter charges, I live in country where this is nothing new, but still shocks the wits out of me when I see this happen. Money has been the source of the problem or rather the lack...
An Ode, A Prayer - I Need You
I think I am an angel coz you told me so,
I think I am a star coz you see me so,
I wish for a tomorrow too friend,
If there is a life with you I d spend,
My days are going fast and then some,
Only when I think it is rum,
These days I think and think,
Of why you gave all this a swish,
Swords I have many too,
Some in my cupboard that others would shoo,
This world now gives me happiness,
Because it...

The Clockwork Tick Tock
The thoughts as usual nowadays flow freely, they don't have any other intention but to bring to fore the emotions that I feel today. I have loved and lost several times and will continue to do so, if there was one regret out of all of this, it is the thought of not having pressed that call button often enough on my phone. I am but a living being, if I miss her here I wish to catch her...

Its All In The Differences
These guys come in their black suits and ties, sit in front of their computers and its pitch dark screens, I think its called a DOS screen, and type some curious text messages that appear on the screen as white characters or inverted. Eyes are glued to the screen as the screen scroll with an occasional message appearing in green, what are they up to, I have wondered often ?
Are they some kind...
You Ruined It For Me That Day
Friend of mine from Punjab, another Sikh and tall at 6'5", believes that his life is over. He can't get over the fact that his father is gone, mother is ill. His large or rather tallish frame not withstanding, I can't understand what has got into him, he only speaks of why there is nothing in this world for him. When young people, and he is only 32, speak of death so casually, my...
The Play of Life
ACT 1 SCENE 1 - The Challenge
When I first entered the arena there were people already on the case trying to solve what must have been, or at least looked from my perspective, a way to get to work today, all havoc had broken lose, there was mayhem everywhere there was to be looked. The one person who could have solved this was already busy with some other issues, I had hardly slept the night...

Whats on the menu today brother
What is there to do today, it is an older version of an event that happened some years back, there was this person who was a writer and very good one at that, he would write short stories and send them to the publisher, who would then vet the content and decide whether to go ahead with the publishing and if the answer was yes, would go ahead and give advances to the author. The author by himself...
She is My Proxy
Have this friend of mine, she is a lark and her voice is the sound of music to me, it has these elaborate tones that touch my very heart and pulls at its strings. She is a down to earth, sporty sort of person. Love her for the earthy music she brings to my ears, I have always needed someone to keep my feet rooted to the ground.
The other day, she was going through my stuff and found some...
A Deadly Cocktail
Suckers all of them, these folks who believe that the thoughts put in our heads are our own, look out people, we are just living in a world of gross consumerism, a world where only the thought of making money is of any importance, the rest is consigned to the unholy flame of greed. So who puts these thoughts and why, take for instance, the case of Microsoft Internet Explorer, whoever thought...
The Raw Nerve
The poet in me always comes to the fore when talking of love and romance, and virtually anything to do with life in general. I define what I see by what I believe to be in the heart of things. Take for example motor racing which is so special to me, for your information, watched every event there has been for motor racing in India, now motor racing is a fine art that requires the reflexes...
Post 2012 - The Being
Its mighty good fun being an author, imagine to let the horses of your imagination lose as you write, and write to your hearts content, it is a pleasure when your minds set free of the regular hindrances. Its like attaining the peak of your dreams, or at least mentally, the biggest kick is to get readers addicted to your medium or media and then there is only the thought of bringing satisfaction...
Can I interest you in the Royal Tourer please ?
I am lonely, and that should be admitted first of all, I must be in a profession that allows me the freedom of choosing who I interact with, where I go and who I meet. My parents, my present so called bunch of friends, don't mean a thing. If at all, buddies are there for a few drinks or shop talk at the printer. I by myself don't mean a thing to them, all of it is a game to get...
The Makings of a Love Story
All my life, I have lived on and on, in search of I don't know what. My search just continues and is unending. I have gone from one cornerstone to another, looking, seeking and revealing my thoughts as I have done on this blog and other forums. We live our lives believing that what we earn, respect we earn and work we do is what stands us in good stead, as a matter of fact, have...

The Revelation - day, night and my soul
There is a thought that comes to me today,
That I must be strong and believe that I shall make hay
Even if the sun refuses to come out
I am going to stay here till her majesty pleases
If it be the clouds then that will be what it will be
I must play a part today and play it well
There is somebody who needs me now
This soul of mine, for her, I must sell
As it gets colder lashed by the snow
To know...
Think ---- And I am Gone
In this world, only two things that are precious to me, and I hardly get enough time for them, for instance, life gets so busy on a 5 day grind and come saturday or a sunday there is so much do and write home about. Do I get time for anything at all, or am I running away with it everyday. Its a new start and I am still wondering where I am going to get time for anything that I really...

Endless Story of Love
Oh, Son of Suns, shine brightly,
For I have seen you wrestle and fight
The clouds and shadows with all your might
I am living here in the hope that I see tomorrow in light
Tomorrow if it comes will be a day to behold
When the stars shall be seen alongside the sun at the threshold
For tomorrow I shall see her
My whole life a movie
That never saw the day nor light
Till she came to my life with eyes...
Awakened
I wish for bright sunny days,
On cold winter afternoons;
Coffee and Tea to drink,
with marmalade I think;
People who work well,
don't worry about how to sell,
The pink slip is just a bell,
A wake up call you may say,
To get out of your shell;
These days I am thinking,
Of getting myself a ferrari albeit in red color;
Two plus two in my life is never four,
There is many a slip before the cup reaches...
Politics, Politics and Some Whisky
Scams and Scamsters have thrived around these parts for a long time. Remember the Ambani-Manmohan or the Radia-Tata-Congress nexus, just trying to figure what these nexus imply for us. These are high flying politicians or people with heavy political contacts, all in all a very potent combination, there is money that flow that leaves people staggering, where all the money goes and where it...
Twenty Thirteen - Well Worth the Wait
The stove is burning bright
As the stars shine with all their might
I might have been wrong in an assumption,
And I promise to live it through
The darkness I do not hate,
Love the thought of poison that we make
Tomorrow when the sun comes out,
You will find it worth giving me a shout
In the quiet of the night we slip away,
To tell a tale that will justify the wait...
The Dream Merchant
The start to another company is tempered by the thought, that I must do a good job with it, make substantial amount of profits and be fairly successful at the venture. The way I play my words is similar to the way the poets do with theirs, there for instance is this thought that all of life is poetry, and that we must go through it with lenses of our eyes closed and the gates to our hearts...
