I...

I am thinking about…a scene I saw on my way to work this morning..two dogs, hard at ‘it’, and inextricably stuck! A third dog trots over, observes the union, sniffs around, and trots disgustedly away..He was probably thinking of why dogs had to do it in public, and that too right in the middle of the street!

I said...something once and then later on, much later on, I wondered if it was worth saying it considering what happened in between..And I realized that in spite of what happened, it was still worth having said it. That brief period of my life has been my peak till now.

I want to...walk up to a stranger on the street and ask him what the future of Indian sport is…I want to ask a waiter if he would eat what he was serving at the table..I want to shout out loud in the middle of the street..I want to be on top of the world..literally..on Everest..I guess it would be slightly cold there though, and I don’t like too much cold..I want to go home to something more than a TV.. I want to be with that someone, and I want to hold that someone’s hands…I want to feel what it likes to hold someone’s hands again..

I wish... we were a much better species at heart..I wish we could settle problems over a fist fight and nothing more..I wish we left children out of the picture..I wish I could meet all my friends again..not all of them together in the same room as though I was Bilbo Baggins and that I was to disappear..I wish friends from each time of my life would come together and we could meet in the same place, and just be together for about 4-5 hours..and just yak away about our carefree yesterdays..I wish I could see more of my family..I wish I could rebuild my house from scratch..I wish I had enough money to do it..I wish we laugh or atleast smile oftener..

And yes, I wish I had more hair, and that I had a much much flatter tummy, and that I was taller, and more handsome..lol..I wish I was (now who is the sexiest male of all times???)…darn..no wonder these things never come true :-D

I hear... that left-handers like me are smarter, brighter, and more creative..I reply that people notice only because there are lesser of our kind and that there is nothing special in us…

I wonder.. what exactly are we waiting for in life..I guess most singletons like me would be waiting for that special someone to be dropping from the sky and into our laps (painful if you consider the gravity factor). But what about the rest of us, those who already have that someone..what would the rest of you be waiting for? We should be waiting for someone or something..but what? And what then?

I regret... not having learnt to play a musical instrument when I was young.. I ESPECIALLY regret not having learnt to play the guitar knowing how easily ladies get impressed by someone who plays it..Why, even guys get impressed, but who is bothered about them anyway?

I am... a nice guy really :-) I SWEAR!!!

I dance...usually within the confines of my mind… I also ‘dance’, when I’m slightly high, and when there are people to get me into the mood..Though I’d love to do the tango like Pacino did in Scent of a Woman..

I sing... just about anything that comes to my mind…I sing when I am in a good mood..I currently Karaoke with Pune FM..and then I think that I don’t sound that good..but then who cares..the only person listenin in is me..and I certainly don’t care..

I cry... on rare occasions..I cry very little..when I do, tears well up and they dry out as quickly.I guess I cry only when people who were around no longer will be..ever..but I get over them quickly..does that make me cold?

I am not always .. the person I want to be..

I make with my hands... bubbles of soap when I take a shower..I blow them up as big as I can and then try to blow them up in the air..havent been doing that of late..don’t get enough time..

I write... so that I can meet new people..I write so that I can reach out to old friends again..I write so that I can get out of the loneliness of my physical world and be part of a small crowd …I write so that I can discover myself.. And I write, so that, some day, when I need it the most, I can read Everyman’s Diary again..

I confuse…some people sometimes just to see them arrive at a conclusion..but that’s only at work....I get confused when it comes to making decisions, and then I say my prayers and jump headlong one way and hope I don’t end in a black hole.

I need... people in my universe to know that I am happy that they are all there..wherever they are..and that I would really miss them if they were to disappear…Of course, I also need to go to a pub and listen to some really great music and have a mug of beer, but I would do that anyway..Right now though, I need you to return the favour and fill out this little list yourself….

C’mon, expose yourself…
