Quiz Time

Epic randomness at the Vasundhara Enclave Durga Puja.

Bored with the usual routine of getting drunk, I had gone there to meet a friend's wife.. this kaku asks "tomra quiz khelbe?".. we nod our heads.. get thrust on stage.. and walk away with the first prize!!

...or as Julius Caesar would say - Veni Vidi Vici.

Here's a Love Quote..

If you love someone, set her free. Then, instead of waiting for her to come back.. take a weekend flight to where she lives, have a massive fight, and just royally fuck everything up.. on your two year anniversary day!

Damn, this is gonna hurt like a bitch.

Sad Cafe - Eagles

I first heard this song in 2001.. from an audio cassette (yes, an audio cassette) owned by my best buddy. I remember sitting with his Walkman.. my left thumb gingerly placed on the pause button, scribbling down the lyrics on the last page of my notebook. Later that year, this was one of the three songs (the other two being from Def Leppard and Bryan Adams) that I had crooned while trying to woo the girl who went on to become my college sweetheart. The people have gone.. the Walkman is dead.. but things in this life change very slowly, if they ever change at all.

I Have a Bad Feeling About This

No, this post isn't about running gags in the Star Wars series. I have a bad feeling about her leaving the city. Granted that she got a job, but I can't help think that there's something deeper here. Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy about her new role.. for Christ's sake I was the one who helped her with the entire application process. But I'm beginning to notice a pattern where she keeps running away from family. From what she's told me, I know that her relationship with her parents isn't exactly normal.. and even though I try my best to stay away from being judgemental, I can now see that it's affecting us. She has always had this latent need to punish her parents for leaving her and breaking her trust. Considering what she's been through as a child, I would say it is understandable, but unhealthy nonetheless. In the past one year of living in the same city, I really did try to build her a whole new world. But now I realize I was stupid enough to think I'm Alladin. Her need to get away from that house far outweighs her want to stay with me. That's the truth.

To be honest, I'm scared I won't be able to do this anymore. Oh, long distance.. my nemesis!
