Our Ugly Maiden

There was once a girl,
with attitude galore
Who sat on a cliff
and thought of lost lore.
So sure was she
to be an acclaimed success
She lost track of reality
And soon became depressed.
While her chums ran off
to the best temples of knowledge,
Our ugly maiden had to make do
with community college!
Dreams of a distant land
and price charming
all came crashing down
on our delicate darling!
For too choosy was our lady,
that she lost all the riches
that came her way.
Now alone and helpless,
haunted by demons of her future
Our ugly heroine is no more the proud vulture.
All that she deemed beneath her attention
Suddenly seemed beautiful and full
of redemption.
Though ugly,
our maiden is not all rotten
Though she lost her best even
before it was gotten.
Now an empty future with a low life
awaits for our ugly maiden
from the high life.
Try she might, she will never achieve
what she once set out to be

Midnight Musing - Part 1.

Sometimes its really difficult to figure out who your real friends are. You know, like the ones that you read about, or watch on the movies. Like the ones that will be there for you when you want them to be. To carry you through. I'll be honest. I'm a naive person and I'm also super sensitive. So, if you are really mean or rude or nasty to me, I will be hurt. Regardless of the fact that I try not to pay much attention to your cruelty, or your low opinion of me by telling myself that your quite beneath my notice, I will still let it get to me. I'll be bewildered, groping for clues as to what I did wrong, or hurt. And most times, both. It's bewildering, frankly, to realize, how no matter how you try to portray yourself as a particular person, the image the world gets is often quite the opposite. So, as much as I'd for people to think of me as intelligent, witty, clever and (yes, I know, I know, I'm vain.. but we all have our vices!), beautiful, I think...

why do we stray?

You know I came back from school, hoping against hope to pick up my physics books and study for the upcoming weekly test! But that hope was all there was to it. I didn't study and on top of that wasted my entire time online watching one tree hill. Anyway, getting back to the original topic, why do we stray? When we say we aren't going to do something, why do we end up doing it? Why cant we just stick to what we planned and do that well rather than just mess everything up? I've never been able to finish anything I've started and that speaks volumes about how unstable and unreliable I am! Every single day just passes by and I wake up to a new morning feeling all the more worthless for it! I don't know if I'll ever do anything great in my life. I don't know if I'll even go after my dreams. Or if I'll just ideal by and let time and tide pass by. Its depressing to be me. I know a guy called dhruv. He's my senior. He's going to Canada now. He's...

The Day

Today, was kind of different actually. I was up all night feeling nauseous, so my fabulous plan about mugging last minute for my Cell Biology exam the next morning went for a spectacular toss. Nauseous, sleep deprived and tensed for my exam, because even I don't like being that underprepared for an exam! That was me today morning, when I headed down for breakfast! It seemed like it was the first time that I was making conversation with the mess "akka's". Even though I did meet them every other day for lunch, dinner and snacks, and on weekdays breakfast too, it wasn't like this. Then, I'd have been busy and the conversation would have been over by the time we exchanged curtsies. But today morning, today morning it was actually different. I spoke to the akka's like I used too. After chatting away and pulling their leg, I proceeded to eat my pathetic excuse for a breakfast. Today, the grime was Dosa with Sambar and dry watermelons. If you've never seen...
