Day Dreamer

Oh, those piercing caramel eyes, that takes you now, from the Pacific canyons to the heights of Everest. You are swimming continuously in its rays, trying to bear the blizzard it lashes out every other second. It’s unwavering glances, striking you ever steadily, paralyzing you at the spot. A gaze that transfixes you in time… you don’t, you can’t even blink your eyes. Time is gone...

Snap! Snap! Comes the sound of two quick fingers, “Snap out of it!!”… Turn around, don’t bother…. It’s not even worth that much.

Oh yes it is, yes it is for those sweet caramel eyes.

Forget about them, you’re never gonna taste them.

Maybe so, but I just can’t resist them…it’s as addictive as chocolate.

Oh yeah?

Oh yeah…

It’s still addictive…. and addiction to anything is not good…. so wake up!... Can’t you see you are playing a losing game?...

I knew I’d lost already before starting.

Uh?...

More fun lies in at least trying to capture what you can’t rather than actually capturing something that you can.

You’ll get nothing that way

No…you do get more out if it than anything else…

I don’t understand…

It’s better that you don’t…

I see… so you are the least bit bothered about the answer then…

I already know the answer

What are you going to do?....

Snap!! Snap!!
Blink… Blink… “Hey!, I’m holding a party at my place this afternoon. I’d love it if you could make it... really? That’d be awesome!.. See you there!”
God no!! don’t smile!!... don’t…. There it is, the smile, the only thing more addictive than the eyes. She walks away… you’re transfixed… …

Snap!! Snap!!... Man! Just die….just do it!

You walk up to the wastepaper bin, tear up the enveloped letter that was behind your back all along, and watch it fall… fall into darkness. The letter itself was blank.

2007! Off To A Grand Start

Right! Here we are! Well, this afternoon, Hrushita (quite a jumpy carefree girl of my school) was like “Barath! Why does your blog have to be all serious and stuff?” … and I was at first surprised. “You know you should just basically blabber… people like to read blabber!”. Initially confounded, I did agree in the end… people did like to blabber! So give me a break here, as I blabber to you my new year adventure. Pardon any deviation from the blabberation grammer, I do it best on my exams though!

So 2007 is finally here!...and I’m like “Whoohoo… another goddamn year!”, as if any year is gonna make a big difference. Apparently this one is!… the “Board” exams as they call it, makes every 12th grade student wince and cringe. Two more months left to go… and I’m like blank? (well it sure feels like it!)… Oh! And more unfortunate, I’m leaving school!! …so I thought what’s the use of celebration anyway!....

Finally, I guess I did celebrate!>.. in quite a different manner this year.. I went to JavaGreen, a simple cafĂ© with more than just coffee. About six months back, I’d written a post on my friends Priya and Arun who made their first steps to stardom as they sang and played modest songs. Well this time they were back and better with a whole new avatar… their band Dhwani! with guest appearance drummer Paul!


They had quite fun in carnatic fusion, and had the audience in rapture as they caressed them in melody. Priya, as usual, wonderful singer… (hey! she love's to do it, so she does it good), sang beautiful pieces of english and hindi. I had gone there with Bhargavi, another 'singing sensation', and she and Priya had the crowd clapping their lungs out. Arun, once again totally sexy on the guitar… had learnt quite a few new tricks with the strings! Whoa baby! And so was Paul … the beats got you pumpin!! Some guys from the audience, so damn enthusiastic… sang along, and this one guy, Benny… you gotta listen to him to believe it!
Yea, four hours go by just like that, as you just can’t stop listening to them. So yea I would totally consider this one of the best new year celebrations I’ve had so far in my life!
And well, one thing’s for sure the “Boards” needn’t stop you from having fun with your friends or doing anything you love to do … even if it is just for the heck of it!

2007.. another goddamn year … I think not!!
Happy New Year Y’all !

Like Magic

I had funny thought yesterday, well, it finally struck my head, that in a week, my third term was going to start... the third and final term of the school year, the final term of my school years. It was quite hard to grasp, for an emtional twist was added on.... so i decided to do what i do... write a poem about it...and voilĂ ! I think i many would feel the same way as they reach the end of the first major part of their lives - the school days. But, its time to carry on naa.....


Twelve magical years
Have passed oh so swiftly
In a beat of a heart,
In a glimpse of a second

It started out, an upside down fairytale
Only to ripen into an epic drama,
The only unwritten Shakespearean grandeur,
The never been scored Mozart symphony.

The memories hover in the air like the hummingbird,
Sunnily relishing the sweet nectar of the last bloom
Yet, conspicuously, ever turbulent, swirling
Like the ball in the last hoop of the season.

A birth of innocence in childhood,
Molded into more tricksy behaviour,
Tremendous excitement coupled,
Zipping through the galaxy, never to stop

Brimming my mind with
Ideas, ideals, culture, and life
Carving its way to the deepest of thoughts
Strangest of emotions
Discovering a new path to tread

The second home
The place not known for the education
But the love and warmth
Cascading and drowning infinitely

The friendships that blossomed
The wings that spread
Every second enjoyed, brought
The brightest of smiles
The most beautiful people

Magical indeed they were, the reminiscence
Of the past will live on in another dimension
Revisited every once in a while
Through yearbooks, pictures, and tea-table talks

A tear drop falls, a snowflake star
Shatters like crystal, shards in all directions
Smudging the very last words,
The reflections of a past experiences

Now, the future awaits the beginning of a new epic.
The quill is set, the ink is drawn
And the now the beginning, back to innocence
And it feels like magic.

Year 7 : Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows



Rowling Names Last Book In Potter Saga

By Paul Majendie

LONDON (Reuters) - British author J.K. Rowling revealed on Thursday that the long-awaited seventh and final book in her wizard saga will be called "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," sparking the next phase of Pottermania.
Fans of the series that has already sold an estimated 300 million copies worldwide were kept guessing with the publication date not set -- although that did not stop one U.S. bookseller from starting to take reservations.
The intriguing and ominous title had Potter aficionados puzzling over what might happen to the bespectacled hero.
"Will a favorite character die? Could Harry himself face a grisly demise? How will it all end?" asked Sam Harrison, children's buyer at the British bookchain Waterstone's.
"But surely the question all Potter fans will want answering as soon as possible is -- when can they get their hands on a copy?"
Rowling, whose creation has turned her into one of the world's richest and most successful authors, revealed on her Web site this week "I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more."
"I am alternately elated and overwrought. I both want, and don't want, to finish this book (don't worry, I will)."
She said in the diary entry on her official Web site (www.jkrowling.com) that Potter had now inveigled his way into her dreams.
"For years now, people have asked me whether I ever dream that I am 'in' Harry's world," Rowling wrote. "The answer was 'no' until a few nights ago when I had an epic dream in which I was, simultaneously, Harry and the narrator."
But she gave no clues as to what will happen at the end of the upcoming book, amid speculation that some of the characters, possibly Harry himself, will die.

SciFi Challenge!


$1000 for a short sci-fi story! Who wouldn’t want to put in their heads into it?!
Only thing is, these shouldn’t be short, they should be really really short! As in a sentence or two or less! And must be science fiction and must be a story with a beginning and end… or neverending?!. Writing long epics is much easier than this challenge! Well I gave it a shot with a couple of stories here. I need to choose one … and hoping your ideas will help… I don’t mind parting with some of the prize money!
