restless

I changed my ring tone, from 'fade to black' to 'i can't get no satisfaction.' My world hasn’t exactly changed but a lot of things around me have changed, taken on a different hue. Like the clean wet green of the trees on a rainy day or the sulky red of the sky on a warm summer evening. You don't just see these colors; you actually feel them.

I'm getting restless, very very restless. Last week, I saw 4 movies, did some heavy stuff shopping, drank whiskey after ages and ate four kinds of meat. I'm also reading two books - a biography of Hitler and the motorcycle diaries. It's like I want everything to happen fast and all at the same time.

My kid bro will be coming from Pune this weekend and will be staying with me for about 2 weeks. I just can't wait to play the guitar with him or raid his rucksack for new novels. As a kid, he used to follow me all around though we became really close only after he entered his teens. I'm the silent moody one in the family and he's the only one with whom I can talk freely about books, music and all my eccentric ideas. We talk about girls and female orgasms too:-) We are that close though he's 9 years younger than me.

I will be traveling too, very soon. Have taken a 9-day vacation to go to Chennai, Pondicherry and Bangalore. Will be visiting another bro in Chennai and meeting my sis-in-law for the first time.

I'm on the edge. I wanna fly. Never ever come down. I think I'm falling. Falling in love too. Wanna sing a song. Wanna write a poem.

Maybe I'll just hold her tight, say nothing and feel each breath she takes.

thanx waves, just visited your page. you don't post?

i'm not usually romantic; women, moments and places bring out that side of me. and the more simple they are, the more unforgettable they become.

aw, how similar... my baby sister is 8 years younger to me and i can almost quote this line about her - "I'm the silent moody one in the family and he's the only one with whom I can talk freely about books, music and all my eccentric ideas." these little ones always turn out to be so much more mature, no?

and which mobile service happens to give you such cool caller tunes like fade to black and i can't get no satisfaction? i want that! hutch here is filled with all sorts of pop and hip-hop stuff, with only a small selection of mainstream rock. shuckkks!

zypsy said...

that's the best thing about kids. they are so open and they don't judge.

mandy, i use hutch only. my cell has gprs...i download everything for free from free-ringtones.ie :-)
