A ping
A ping
distracts me
as I board
a non-descript flight
back home
back from a perfunctory celebration
where I play my part
the role requiring a character
far too mature
far too unaffected
by the turmoil in my mind
even for my liking.
yet I play it
effortlessly.
A sign
of a grown-up man
or just one
too tired to express dexterously
what he truly feels
without overt
discovery.
The ping
distracts me
from my well heeled white sneaks
from my overpriced t-shirt
paying homage to a sportstar
also in his waning years
both of us
bolding on to a past glory
in our parallel universes
mine not just parallel
but embarrassingly delusional.
The ping
is of that social network
that tells me
you appreciated a visual.
what are you thinking when you see it ?
Me hoisting my son
aboard my shoulders
those broad, ample shoulders
you ran your fingers across
in a shivering night
where passion lay bare
And empty promises seemed anything
but.
A ping
that reminded me
of a liaison reduced
to a perfunctory relationship
drawn by societal
and haphazardly penned down
Lines
On a non descript flight
Back home.

Every man needs a goal. Every blog needs a man with a blog.

are we back?
I noticed that this blog is my "url" on twitter. What was once the ultimate space for personal prose has now been replaced, blasphemously enough, by a 140 character microcosm. More astonishingly, the microcosm might just give this more wordy world a revival of fortunes.
Amazing.
The question still remains..are we back? Or is this a random musing on a monday post noon scenario which will soon be gone with the return of a frenetic pace of activity?
Time will tell.

the truth
I count myself blessed. Having been a part of AIESEC, having visited the country and having made friends (albeit over a relatively ‘shorter’ duration) that I count as truly fabulous – the match on Wednesday is nothing more than 2 tremendously talented teams coming together to thrash it out for a chance to win the ‘cup that counts’. The media’s billing of this being a ‘purani dushmani’, the political drama, the animosity, the abuses, insults and insinuations are shocking and a bit embarrassing. I was far more aggressive in the Australian match because that team embodies an arrogance, disdain, childish and unsportsmanlike behaviour seen rarely in champion sides. They’ve rattled our cage and deserved to be booted out. Wednesday will be epic – but purely as a match, nothing more.
