Explore the murky depths of life...

Tuesday, June 21

Life is beautiful...

A buffalo ambles past. A bunch of nomadic women in bright rajasthani attire plod along with dried branches balanced on their heads. Dusk licks the horizon. A few stray dogs frolic about in the dust. Some wayward roadside uncles facing the other way answer nature's call. *wince*
I see a train chugging away into the distance. Wispy golden clouds streak the skies.
Is that a couple making out?! *inquisitive look*
A gust of wind hurls loose particles of sand onto my face. *Damn. There goes the view.*
Night descends. City lights shimmer in the distance. Life is beautiful.
I find myself going round in circles. Clockwise. Anticlockwise. Life is beautiful.
Clockwise. Anticlockwise. Ah! The pleasures of life.
Clockwise. Clockwise. Clockwise. Life is beauti--AAAAHHHH......
SCREEEEEEEEECCHHHH.....
*Heart skips 3 beats. Then jumps into roller-coaster mode*
Is that a person I see? Up front? *20 feet ahead*
Swich to reverse. Pull back. Avoid. Period.
Ladies and gentlemen, glad to announce: "DAY 1 of driving class: no casualties."

Dr. Dee,

My friends call me What Dee. Maybe that should help you solve the mystery.

Blogger D said...

ok, What Dee, now I know only one person whose middle name starts with 'D'. And you're not that person. I'm SURE. So unless you're a person interested in asking questions/answering them, noone would call you What Dee...
I'm clueless...
Oh for cryin' out loud, just tell me who you are...
btw, Thanks for stopping by.

What gave you the idea that my middle name started with D?

A bit of trivia:Did you know it was PG Wodehouse who first used the phrase "Elementary, My Dear Watson"

So Long and thanks for all the Fish

I'm the napalm lover (and Wodehouse fan as well). Not M.M or the 'poop' lover.

Got the link through a series of unfortunate events (Got linsked from one blog to another blog)

Anyway this is my last post here since you don't welcome Anonymous posts..

Schumy, no I wasn't referring to you in particular. In fact, to be honest, I was bugged with the poop guy. And guessing by the tone of your previous comment, you're piqued. That wasn't the intention.

"..got the link through a series of unfortunate events..."
Geez, didn't expect my blog was THAT bad!!! ;-)

Now, I know many guys who part-take in lit stuff. I have an incling that you're not from M1. And Deeducing from the comments you've left, I'm not too sure if we've met either. Feel free to drop by and leave comments...
