corvus and his kids....or uncles..or aunts..or girlfriends...

-
okay so you all have read the story about corvus the crow...(if you haven't i recommend you do ...)
i really dont know how or why ....but apparently all our ancestors come back as crows....and you have to feed your ancestors before you eat...and on saturdays the blessings get doubled by some kind of divine mathematics.....i dont get much time to pray throughtout the week anyway..unless there is an exam of course...so saturday is the  prayer room cleanup,prayer backlog completion etc etc day..
and  there is this annoying cawing match going in the background....outside the kitchen window ...with glossy black feathers and a keen eye sits the most irritating crow ever....i kinda assumed it was a call for the lady next door and didnt bother about it...
but then i saw the same crow on the windowsill in the next room...centimetres away from the table..fighting like i stole his breakfast (ot a she bt im sure if it were a she..she wouldnt have bothered with the manners and all..woulda come in and pecked my nose...)..then it hit me...
we werent being nice to the crow by feeding it....it was his birthright to eat at our place by 8 am everyday...and crows dont like it wen their breakfast gets delayed...and so he kept shuttling between rooms till i served his majesty his breakfast...
usually crows get freaked out if u get anywhere close...this one almost ate outta ma hand...and then
THE SAME ANNOYING CAWING...10 mins later..i noticed it was a family meal...5 of em on my windowsill sharing a handful of rice...
HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA :)

Brownie She was so happy. Her proposal had been accepted finally.  All that hard work, all those late nights had paid off.  She turned to look outside the window.  The skies did not echo her sentiments. They were the most morose shade of grey possible. She searched for rays of sunshine, but it was as dark as the  ocean floor.  All the joy left her like a punctured balloon.  She turned around to text her friend about how her best day was actually morose. She felt horrible to always be the one who had a bad day. 10 mins of scrolling later, she realised she had nobody  to say this to.  She decided to make the most of  what she had.  She walked down through the now pouring rain,  gingerly tiptoeing over puddles. She swore as mud got into her shoes. She felt extremely stupid for not being dressed monsoon friendly during monsoons.  This wasn't ...

Strobic

It's been a long time since I wrote here, or wrote at all really. Decided to use a random word generator and then generate the rest of the words to make them into sentences. I cant promise they will make sense. Here goes. Strobic It was early summer morning in the town of Cristobal.  Susanna opened her eyes and smiled. Her cheeks flushed with colour. She looked at the flowers that had just bloomed and it was hard to say what was a prettier sight. She was thinking of Rico. With his focussed  brown eyes, warm yet piercing, hidden under his bushily grown eyebrows. Summer didn't make her feel warm in ways he did. If only he knew. Rico, the salty air playing with his wavy hair,on the other had was fighting his way through a crowd. He had long been athirst to leave this small town. He wanted to show these people he was more than they thought he could be. That was the good part of being the underdog. Nobody expected anything from you. The scandalmonger Mrs Hector had fed ...

The Quarter-Life Crisis

Wrote this long back, but here they come,as promised. The Quarter-Life Crisis. Feb 23,   2011 (Yes!The quarter life crisis seems to have hit me ...atleast some parts of it ..this is how it goes: ) Stop!Look!Turn around! Is this you ,you seem to have found? You can't look at what you have become, You don't want to think about what you have done. After this  uncertain future does stare, Uncertainity of when,how and where... But then, where am you right now? Even if you want to leave,how? Those who seemed like they were kin, Didn't mind using you as a bin. They seemed like you knew them for years, But didn't think twice before they induced those tears. Those you overtook on the life highway, Were the one's who deserved to stay. Quenched your thirst to be there first, Now have to wait till the twist of fate. You had different notions of the future, Life surreptitiously drew its own  caricature. You are sear...
