As a cat.

As a Cat, I want you to put my food in that bowl. Ew, not that food. Oh god no, not that bowl.
As a Cat, I want ALL YOUR ATTENTION HELLO so that I can have ALL YOUR ATTENTION HELLO HELLO HUMAN?
As a Cat, I want to walk on your head while you’re sleeping so that I can stare blankly at you when you wake up, cursing.
As a Cat, I want to lay down near you so I can keep an eye on you, but not so close that you think I like you too much.
As a Cat, I want to cuddle with you and punish you at the same time, so you don’t leave me alone for the weekend again.
As a cat, you shall adopt me, but I shall own you.

PS: I couldn’t come up with anything to write about cats when @CatUserStories came up on my Twitter Feed.
Thank you, admin.
This is hilarious.
Meow.

PPS: Adopt a cat, I dare you. I double dare you.

Mental Turbulence.

Hearing voices from miles away
Saying things never said
Seeing shadows in the light of the day
Waging a war inside my head

Feeling strangers staring my way
Reading minds never read
Tasting danger with each word I say
Waging a war inside my head

- War inside my head, Mike Portnoy.

Flavours of chaai

The flavours of chaai are the crux of the lively streets.

They have seen the morning madness and they have seen the evening blues.
They have seen the conversations of the elite class, they have heard the majestic stories from their past.
It has brewed the stories of the living and the dead, of the wealthy clad or the sick and sad.
Here’s to the flavours of chaai, the very essence of it.
To Cutting Chaai and to the creator himself, Bombay’s ChaiWallas.
In every nook and corner, they reside. Listening and unwinding the quirkiness of the city that I call, Bombay.

Summer’s coming!

Summer’s in the view and so barges in the sales of the ever-loving beverage.
(I’m sorry, I am a commerce student, can’t figure out how not to think of the money they make.)

There was not much I could say on a beverage (Apart from their sales figures, of course.)
So I let a Coke Lover do the talking. And that’s what she said:

“I feel anything that makes you happy in any form is good for you even if it isn’t good for your health or life. My this one addiction makes me happy, I’m a cokearine (A term my friends have given me). Coke makes me happy like literally HAPPYEEEE. And it is just not the drink but also the way Coca Cola’s advertisements stand out, all those graffitis and walls which are painted with Coca Cola around the city and the process of how Coca Cola is made which I love and which interests me. Believe me I don’t have the words to say how happy that red colour makes me. So well I’ll let my customized name do the talking. iLAVCoke.”

Toss down the glass bottles and beat the heat. Happy Summer :D

She was the winter-tide, burning and melting in the hot blazing sun.

The future was so bright, it burned her eyes.

The deep rusty red felt contrasting in the dark silhouette she had turned into.

The realization struck her, leaving warmth amidst her body. 

The future was home to her deepest fears and of her wildest hopes.

Live the chaos

You are not going to have your way through your every organized effort.
It is going to be chaotic. Live the chaos, because that is the first step to establishing order.
If the latter doesn’t happen, make sure the chaos you create is as much beautiful and breathtaking.

Photographs enhance the thrill of a memory.
This blog is my canvas.
I want to fill it with warm words while my counter-part manages to fill it with beautiful colours.
To all the new things that never were, but will be.
To TheShutterStory.
We present to you the sights of her eyes and the words of my heart.
(Most of the times, they are from my heart. The rest is sarcasm.)
We kick-start today. Welcome aboard.
