Vagina and the vaster void.

" ....Those like Dr. Mukwege, a Congolese OB/GYN and founder of the Panzi Hospital in Bukavu who has been sewing up women’s and little girl’s vaginas for 12 years as fast as the militias are ripping them apart...."

wept after reading this. Don't have the strength to post it here. Please do read it.

PS: REALLY WANT to watch 'The Vagina Monologues'..I'm SUCH an idiot to have bunked the play while it was being staged here in Chennai. It now stands banned. Why?

Vagina is NOT a bad word you suckers. 'Cowardice' is.

The Truth

We lay naked. Under the same sheet. He held me close. Tight. I felt secure. In one moment he allayed all my fears. He was my truth. And two years later, I was just another girl...

...The scar on my arm burned. I now know the importance of a wound. Its an evidence of the pain inside and when you watch it heal, in some strange way, its comforting.

Mmud-dle-ffud-dlo :D

There are very few friends who change the way you look at life, who change the way you define certain terms, who change the way you look at your own self and who take part with you in every crazy ride of life without questioning. They support you without ever doubting your capabilities, they NEVER say 'no'. And deep down inside, you might never have said it to them, but you know that without them, your life will remain incomplete. For those of you who have put up with my ramblings for 2 years now would by now know S.H.I.L. The one person who has taught me to be optimistic, to be full of life come what may and for whom I’ve changed the way I redefine the term ‘warmth’ :)

To the most genuine and purest friend..to Shilpa :)

And now, presenting Shil Mai’s discourses right here in Blogville..tadaaa :D

Ah..the happy tunes.. :)

So what if my life isn't going on as 'planned'

I've a thump in my toe
So what if my latest crush turned out to be an absolute loser
I've a jiggle in my knee

So what if the guy who secretly likes me isn't saying it out loud

My curls are in a disarray
So what if I'm not going to the US this year
My head's bobbing to and fro

I'm right here..in namma Chennai..with the people I love, in the city I've been all over..the place where I BELONG :)

I'm screaming happy..yes, a little anxious, but very very happy




What's it like to be depressed?
How'd I know?
I've Life to wake up to each day :)

and yes, retaining faith ALWAYS helps

Fly me to the moon...

The moon isn't always visible from my window. But whenever it is, its brighter than ever before. It plays hide and seek at just the right moments making it the perfect day :)

This was the moon from my window day before yesterday. I suddenly wanted to go there..and I played Frank Sinatra and wished he was alive..

"Moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday...."

Penned this down for Niki while moon gazing yesterday

In this game of Hide n Seek
As the falling leaf caresses the wind
I look every place to find answers
and I lose myself
With Life and Time as my sole companions
The door opens wide
and I'm found once again

This is a short thank you note for saying just what I needed to hear :)

..wants to go back to boy-cut

..wants to go back to her boyish ways

..fails to understand as to why they vie for their attention

..can get all the attention she wants if only she could behave like them

..will brains ever win over boobs/beauty?

..needs:

• to talk
• coffee
• to read
• a hug
