Right there where you left- II

I am not a good person but I dont like the company of bad people.

You dont even know how nice the whisky taste because you still hung on that cheap wine.

Ofcorse I am happy that you have developed new tastes but honestly the dal chawal are still better.

I have a story to tell you only if you have time to listen.

The season of mangoes are long gone and the season for partying starts.

Lets make peace and not war, because a few years from now, I would still like to share stories over tea.

Right There Where You Left

Its not that I dont have time for you its just that there is no time at this stage in life and if you think that after walking a few miles ahead of me or on a different road and you come back and to the point where you left, you might not find me.

If you think that there is lot of time to cook and eat together which you can do after few months, but you dont get mangoes in winters.

And if you think that those stupid jokes we will laugh together but what if life becomes a joke.

We are wrong in some ways but if not now, we wont get a chance to change this wrong into right.

Complementing each others snotty nature is fine but we cant compliment snotty people on our sides.

So when you stop liking desi khanna and prefer italian dancing think that this is a temporary phase in your life and maybe one day the time will come to go back to the place Right  there where you left.... because, growing up together is easy but growing apart is difficult.

The Mad House Series XIX

Sleepless on Mosque Road.

There can be a number of reasons to have sleepless nights on mosque road. The reason can either be your love or your loving boss. But this time its the boss who is having sleepless nights after he heard Mr. P.  

The boss is increasingly worried about the growing bellies of Mad people. There are two types of growing bellies the pregnant ones and the beer bellies. So you can see some like Mr. AA and the Mad writer having the beer bellies. And then you can see the guy in yellow shirt on third floor and Mr. P with a new kind of male pregnant bellies. Wonder who is carrying the kid? 

Well the Boss is overly concerned and leading by an example by not having either of them. Well he cant do anything about the beer one but thought to do something about the pregnant one. 

So when he met Mr. P recently and asked who is pregnant? Because it seems Mr. P is giving a good competition to his better half.

Mr. P replied if I can , I would raise an Indian Cricket team of my own , so that I can go on paternity leave everyyear.

The Boss looked hasseled at the answer and said poor me. 

Mad House Series XVIII

Confession of a Shop -o- Wala

A lot happens over a cup of tea: 

My shop is two shops away from the Mad House. Though I provide tea to everyone on mosque road my biggest sale is smokes to these Mad people. They work and party so hard that they need them, i cant even deny looking at their deplorable condition.They work like a gadha and smoke like a monkey. I see them coming at odd hours and never going back, i feel my shop is only place where they come to refresh themselves.

I can proudly say I am the only person who is not scared of their Boss. But i see and hear alot about him. They come here when they are sad, they come here when they are happy. I get to hear it all. I hear politics, laws, love, break ups and everything and anything. You dont want to hear what else do i know.

Funny women come here and share things, forget that funny men also come here and share everything. My shop is a place where love happens. So if two people are falling in love they will sit closely on the bench opposite and talk softly and order two tea, special one. When somebody is gossiping they sit on the side bench and order soft drinks. To discuss politics  they come in group and sit where ever they find place. 

They eat, drink, smoke and forget the bill. When it comes to paying the figures add upto the address of the Mad House in a week. Its only after paying that make promises to quit smoking. But the resolution lasts even less than 24 hours. Who are they fooling? when they start with one drag and one drink and the story remains the same.

Never save a life

If someone arrives with their bags and have no friends in this city, never save a life, because later circumstances would be such that you will be packing the bags and leaving the city.

If a girlfriend and boyfriend are fighting, never save a life, because they will in the end up fighting with you.

If someone is drunk and needs an ear to hear , never save a life, because you would be needing a drink and they would be needing a different ear to talk about you.

If somone needs you to shop with them, never save a life, because you might not have enough money to shop and get over them. Dont shop branded stuff for people because you cannot afford to be disloyal to brands. 

The irony of being good

Yes I am a delhi girl. I belong to this city. I have fashion sense of this city. I dont wear black shoes in summers. I have enough clothes for summer and winters seperately. I love shopping , I earn and I shop. 
I am not famous like you, who wants to be famous for all the wrong reasons. But for sure I am not a cheat like you, I wish I knew cheating I wont be writing this facebook status.  I am good at being rude. I am fine being an overweight white girl you can call me cute or gothika. 


Yes I call myself half British, atleast i know what i want and this doesnot make me half a human. If you want to believe that you will see me some years down the line raising kids, i dont find anything wrong in that as you are reading this because your mother raised you well. And if you really want to believe in this five year theory, people dont last, relationships dont last and beyond that I hope you have heard of tsunami, tornado.
