A not so Political Rant


This was originally going to be a Pro-Musharraf post for which I went to such lengths as smsing everybody in my address book at 3 AM in the morning asking them about their opinion on Musharraf. The reply i got was something that i never would've thought of... "Who are you?". Yes it's true, I had bought a new number but retained my old address book. Most of the people I smsed that night didn't know that. Any way once i told them who I was the second response was even more astounding... "Do you know what time it is?". I wonder why people don't keep watches at their bed sides like me. And that's when my good mood started deteriorating.


It's been a week now and my mood has been deteriorating slowly but surely. It should have been a good week considering I took one of my bandi friends out for lunch on Monday, but on the contrary it was horrible. Somewhere between the dessert and the main course I realized that I needed a steady relationship. I brooded over that most of the week until the 14th of August arrived which brought some relief coz i was filled with patriotic fervour, either that or it was the frozen tomato soup kicking in. Then came the fifteenth and i was brooding again. What was really eating me was that the bandi friend I took for lunch seemed to be ignoring me and rejection is something that I don't take to nicely especially when it involves me being replaced by another man. That's when Jealousy kicks in and that stupid Grey's anatomy theme song and this R.E.M's song get stuck in my head. I'm not even sure if its rejection but it sure looks like it. To top it off my beloved watch broke while pulling on the hand brake too hard and it feels like a part of me has been ripped away. Then I ran into one of my best friends from school who as it turns out had stopped keeping in touch because I was the guy who was a little religious and he went on to become a bassist for a getup called "Saturn"! Everything just seems to get crummier and crummier.


The only good thing is that I've managed to do this week are read 3/4th of Bram Stoker's Dracula and discover that chicken meat balls are actually more delicious then beef meat balls.
