The Others!


The Others! "Close every door, turn off every light, and look for the Others!" That is explicitly the tag line for the Nicole Kidman starred mystery horror flick "the Others". I have seen that and many other horror movies and this 'others' had a cut above most others unequivocally! But that's not precisely my concern here. The Others i'm citing to are those 'Others' who often remain as 'others' and on the contrary play 'collateral' roles in every other's life! Ahem.. i didn't intend to give you all on overdrive of the 'others' there.


10 things i don't like about the others : (detest works well to write effortlessly!)*Others- No offense intended even in the remotest form (Yeah, u wish!)

1) Pry.
Snooping around and showing shades of curiosity in un-welcome affairs that i pertain to myself is obnoxious!

2) Advise.
Nothing comes free and cheap. If it does, that's your sarcastic take on me
mate!

3) Word of mouth!
Thank you! You have been an efficient podcast to me for "the week that never was!" but now i consider doing that myself!

4) "You are caving in.."
Congratulations! You just earned a brownie by caving in way too much that I've decided to kick you out of my life for good! More brownies awaiting.. Hurry!

5) High and mighty!
Acting high and mighty is corny! When ever the mighty pours in his/her gyan, I'd probably be wondering about the pongal i ate that morning! You think you are funny but you are downright annoying.

6) Call the shots
Yes! I'm a Geminian but i still have my brains intact. I might just be a little informationally impaired, but I can think and decide and have it all my way. Who even asked for your opinion?!

7) Jumping on the bandwagon
I certainly don't want to do that just because you do that too and all so more because you do that!!

8) Pot calling the kettle black
Look who's talking! I am a lot better than you and I sure do have an edge o'er you! Fo shizzle! (a very narcissist statement there!)

9) I'm right. You're wrong.
It works the other way too! You are an exceptional example of a case study on "the right kind of wrong!" And I hate your 'miserably failing to impress' rhetoric thoughts!

10) I'm the other for an other!
What a shame! I'm sadly the other for so many others! All above mentioned applies universally.


5 things i expect from the others:
1) Adore me! But don't make it obvious.

2) Be objective enough to make me seek your opinion but never hope i'd oblige to it.

3) Be funny even at times of adversity but don't go overboard.

4) Put your right foot forward and protest and be ensured of getting kicked at your rear end.

5) Be genuinely interested but do not fawn all over me.


There are things i like about the others, that make those others special to me! There are things i adore about the others that makes me idolize them. More to come in the following days. Are you game? "The nice thing about egotists is that they don't talk about other people" and i totally second your thought there, Lucille Harper!

Who's Lucille Harper? And thats my cue to exit!

Curious case of a couch potato!

Emotions come by strong and unmarred. Takes you over in a jiffy and puts you through the mill! How ever stoic and impassive you stay, invariably it ends up having the upper hand. No, i'm not referring to a mood swing which is rather erratic and takes you over in a trice! Thats an oddball in itself which can only be explained with a hormone index. The emotions i've been fascinated by are the ones that predestine your state of mind. The status message in my google mail keeps changing time and again. I use that as my cathode-ray-tube to exhibit my state of mind rather than the state of myself! Ambiguous..ain't I? Emotions are an ad-hoc display of one's state of mind!


Now...................................................... This is exactly how I lose track of what i intend to write about! Where was I? *Flashes* Emotions!! Is there a possibility of me and the near and dear ones around me be connected in some cosmic way that they have long read my emotions and no longer feel the need to be explicit adverting the mission that i should be given a keg (a dose would be putting it mildly) of my own medicine? A strange thought struck me as odd today! I found the need to keep my shirt on when i was high and dry post the solemnity!


Emotions how ever strong they are, ebb eventually. A very convenient physio-chemical change that gives me a buoyant perception and never fails to echo those magic words "this too shall pass!" Pardon the science. Those are fleeting moments of inevitability. I'm deprived of words to write a plain as a day cliched thought!



A hint of hostility, a dash of detachment and the remotest slur in the voice (apparently a tell-tale sign!) failing to mask the interim emotions running high beneath my skin is an unmistakable blatant rip-off in front of those cosmically connected! Little did i know that this seemingly innocuous act could bring upon a hue and cry in the minds of those connected to me in the very cosmic way! And vice-versa! Thats exactly when you and me pull down the veil and tell ourselves "Stop being a Nancy!"

Why is being emotional called a sissy? Emotions do not confine itself to being sad and pensive. After all, emotions are what drives us and drive us astray. I came to grips with something which has been a perpetual-nagging thought in me. I have been eluding myself from the matter-of-fact obligations in life. This too shall pass!
