Superlative caliber!

You and me – we all have our frizzles. Mine pertains to rodents especially rats


Poised easy-going person, but a rat brings the best of the worst out in me. A rodenticide is kept handy at home, for the explicit purpose of extirpating these 4 legged monsters. But I confess, I hardly use it. It's strictly meant for showcasing the variety of aerosols I posses! I don't believe in taking lives of innocent creature, after all I have no right to take anybody's life just like they don't have the right to take mine. Maddyiology..you can say! 


Personally, I keep a good distance. My actions would scare them away anyway, leaving no hope of succeeding in the process of extirpation. Don’t mistake me, My house or the current abode is not precisely pullulating with the creepy pests. Nor am I a coward. Only when it comes to rats well..then some fishy thing happens!


Bravery, I can prove in other ways. Show me a lizard/insect and I can stare down it anytime! As for cockroaches, this is where my true endowment comes to the prow, quite literally. Chasing the shit out of cockroaches mesmerizes me and I am in my true warrior form when the cockroach personifies as a homo sapien.#Ninja Warrior! 


Notwithstanding these spectacular qualities, I flinch, if I spot even a mouse pup. Babies of all species were cute,huh?


Refraining from sounding intolerant. I give those poor creatures a chance and look at their good side.Really?


Heat, cold, rain or shine, rats survive. They'll nibble on wires, clothes and what not, they survive; They can be the most innovative chef-making meals of plastics, papers etc. Absolutely zero on electricity consumption, all the shelter they crave is a spot of darkness, a crack, a wardrobe, backside of the refrigerator or even the CPU of your desktop! Surely such pertinacity of lineament is to be admired?


If you still aren't convinced of a rat's superlative qualities, then you need to see a rat struggling for life in a shit pot! It never gives up, not until you exhort the "press gently" knob. Some qualities which I am sure many humans would like to have.

    Oh My God! a mouse pup in bus is hell scary! Public embarrassment is scary too but when its cause is a rat it becomes all the more dangerous :)

    Haha! I feel the same about lizards. So I guess it's not the race to be frowned at, but our own peeves.

Between odds and the ones!

It's odd how those who were complete strangers are the ones who are now the best buddies It's odd how those who never expressed their feelings while they were together are the ones who end up becoming a couple It's odd how those who show me the highest love  are the ones who expresses it the least in words It's odd how those who express the love in words  are the ones who end up hurting the most It's odd how those who botched up every damn thing are the ones who make you feel chagrined It's odd how those who plead for mercy, pardon are the ones who deserve it the least It's odd how those who are always smiling and make you smile are the ones who have overcome many griefs It's odd how those who have been through many griefs/heartbreaks are the ones who can always overcome the pain Probably, It's odd because everything can be related to time and space.. But for me, It's odd because I don't think its odd!(o

Ramblings Again!

Consider a situation where you are signing a pact with  chariness, lack of authenticity and selfishness. You might ruin, in fact poison the relationship even before laying the foundation stone. People with whom you are dealing with will have a hard time in the face of your  incredulity, they won't be disputed to rise to your level of expectations. Over the years, I've learnt one thing. O ne should prefer concentrating on the goodwill of mortals who are doing work with you. No matter what you do, where you go, you are bound to encounter those handful of people who will try their very best to disappoint to you but eventually you'll understand that is their sole purpose of life. One thing, which I've understood during PG course is the importance of an open mind and an open heart but that just increases the vulnerability.  Maybe, one should give others a chance to live up to our trust and others should not be on a hunt to try to cultivate trust in spite of knowing

And here it is..Century!

So, the day has arrived. Finally! 100th post of my blog. I struggled with what should be the milestone post! Should it be prolific? Idealistic in nature. Broad in scope. So, I struggled. Back in 2007, few of my friends were bitten by the bug of blogging. Somehow, I managed  to spend one complete year, protecting myself from being bitten by this bug. But then, in 2008, my immunity gave in and I was affected by it. Over the years, I've seen myself maturing and its direct impact is visible in my posts. What started as a fun filled blog illustrating some of the interesting incidents of my under graduation, recipes which I used to cook(I don't have a kitchen now, only 3-4 outlets to survive apart from the mess where I hardly eat) to feelings which I used to pen down, now contains rants, poems, videos, pictures and not to forget articles. I had almost given up blogging last year but this year I started again. There was this intense drive from within to go on writing and
