Ghost !!!

As eons pass and not a word comes to mind
An angel descends with words of wisdom.
So full of insight and nostalgia is she
And her power over words matched cannot be
So a special gift does she impart
Just before I am about to depart
To a place nearer rather than far
so there is no gift dearer or even at par
Thus the beautiful ghost said . . .

Hey you…listen to me. I know you are flying away to the arid lands tomorrow. But how did you want me today? Laced with the cold temptation in your fridge? Or am I a part of the non alcoholic drunken stupor you usually claim to be in? The elusive red your blindness could not see, maybe? Camouflage my words so the shameless actor in you could flaunt? While the pride that the source lies in your own heart? Don’t let it get cold, give me space and not let me breathe until I overwhelm.
I come as the ghost, invisible and improbable, with new found inspiration. After all I am the desperate creator looking for images, stripes and faith. Thanks my love.

The mad-man has arrived !!!

They say that aquarians crave for attention and as we all know actors love to be in the news. What happens when you put the two together - you get an attention craving, narcissistic shameless exhibitionist.In other words... ME !!! Well i guess it was only a matter of time before i started blogging.
Ok ok so i am one of the last people on the face of this planet to jump onto the blogging band wagon, but what's important is that from now on all you mortals get to read my thoughts and maybe along the way know more about what is happening in my life as well.

So lets catch up with my life upto this point --

was born,learned to poop,learned to walk, learned to run, joined school, didnt learn much there, made friends,discovered my love for reading books, discovered love for public speaking,continued school, discovered theatre through a play called poetasters of ispahan (one of the most significant points of my life), completed ICSE.joined another school , discovered love for computers (i guess the geekiness was dormant until this point). completed ISC.

phew !!! a break here.

Lets continue.... discovered love for the guitar (another important thing ) started college in Bangalore, discovered my love to be in the limelight, literary club prez, jumped to semi-professional theatre and started doing plays. got a job as a software engineer. graduated with a BE in Comp. Sc.
Joined work, immediately the amount of fun in my life reduced. discovered love, discovered true pain !!!, came to USA on work.

Phew !!! that was a whole lot of history to put into so few words... anyway now that we are on the same page ....try and keep up !
