One Quarter Down!

I am completing a quarter today- wait, not the quarter of a tinted and spirited bottle but a quarter of my life- and its Gross okay!

Few days back I noticed one grey strand in my not-so-luscious wavy hair and it brought to my notice that it’s not far when I will also turn old and sour! And lately I have been an ardent fan of “Grey’s Anatomy” and it often occurs to me that I might meet an accident someday just abruptly, so I thought it was the perfect time to write my own will!

Will…?? Yes, well a Will! In which you give anything of your own by your own will – yes I am talking about that same will!

A few of my friend were amused at this idea and in turn asked me what do you have as such that you are writing a will and I answered them with an airy expression that “Not everything is about money  in life”! So here we go;

I have a (rather two) cupboards full of clothes- I would want each of my special friends to pick one dress which I ever wore with them and hang it in their cupboards, like the way it’s done in Brokeback Mountain movie- so that they can always remember me the way I was with them (and in the same clothe size). Same goes for the shoes and bags!

All my gadgets and gold and cash goes to my dear BF (he secretly expressed his interest in the same one day). Also I will let him take all the pending bills too!( Life Revenge :D).  My toys (yes I still have teddy bears and 13 dolls as my secret possessions) go to my next generation i.e. to the kids in my family.

And the most important thing- my DIARY (rather diaries) full of poems and my passion. They go to one person, a very dear friend who has always admired them – with the copyrights too! So that one day he publishes a book out of them and plays in the cash ;)

And rest everything goes back to my parents – don’t worry, despite of all above there is still much left in the room! And because they will be the only ones who would keep and cherish every small thing of mine close to their hearts!

I always wanted to have either a Catholic wedding or a funeral! Since I don’t have my love interest in a catholic, I wish to go for the second option.

Talking about my funeral –I would prefer to be buried in a classic chocolaty chestnut coffin with pink satin inside to lie on! And I will want all my friends to gather together – the dressing theme be obviously “pink” and everyone should make merry! I don’t mind if you all go merry-go-round but well that’s how it is!

But given that, I am not dying so soon and that life has to do a lot more damage to me before I can finally get rid off it, I assume to read this when I complete another quarter of my life- and may be just laugh it all off! May be I won’t be writing anymore then or I might be a very famous Bookie award winner; may be all my clothes would have retired by then and I may not be able to fit into them ever; whatever happens then will not be same like right now!

So I am just preserving all what I have right now – So that I can scroll down my blog 25 years later and have a few pink butterflies tinkling me!

Cheers to whoever read this!

PS- Since I assumed I will be very busy today, I wrote this piece yesterday itself! :P

Your B’day, My Trauma

By job profile I call myself a Social media jockey which in simple terms means a person who is paid for handling facebook n twitter for a brand! Since it’s a media brand, I am supposed to wish celebs publically on my page on their B’days, death days, anniversaries, pregnancy, child birth and divorces- all for their good life ahead! And in the procedure I do a lot of things which I don’t like or find enough interests in!

It was Amitabh Bachchan’s  B’day today! Apparently he is considered the king of bollywood .  To be honest, I am not a (or an may be) Amitabh Bachchan fan! Means yes I would be excited if I see him in front of me but not excited to actually go and see him (as if I can) still, he doesn’t excites me as a matter of fact!

But to save my job I need to do some extraordinary facebook post so that thousands of people come and ‘like’ it and so that my boss looks up at me with pleased eyes! Since yesterday the articles in Pune Times about Big B have been worrying me and I have been thinking what to post, how to show my so called “creativity”. I just bought a BlackBerry you see and to its worst exploitation, I am also googling “10 amazing facts about Amitabh bachchan” at 1.00 am but in vain! I am petrified coz the 10 points I jotted down were already shown by India Tv this morning slot in their ticker. Makes me worry double now!!

At this moment I just wanted Amitabh to see my You-Did-This face! It’s you because of whom I instead of BBMing right now, am goggling and getting facts about you such as “you can write with both hands” or that “you were named Vijay in 17 of your films” I am sure if you saw me right now, you would have offered me another job (out of pity or social service) as one of your assistants or probably you would have said something super fantastic in your flawless hindi and people would have simply awed at you!!

If I could ever, I would suggest these big shot guys to keep these public matters such as B’days to themselves, it really troubles people with small media jobs! We have clear extra work you see! But okay, I won’t blame you anymore, you are turning 70 and I will still wish you to go for another 10-20 years on a human note.

So keep writing with both your hands (apparently that doesn’t matters because now all of us write with both hands- typing I meant- who writes in paper now)

P.S. I did a facebook post on your bday- A for Amitabh, B for Bachchan , C for Cinema…Z for zanjeer| Result : Pappu paas ho gaya!

PS(2) The above also is stolen, sorry but really couldn't think of you in any way!

Happy B’day Amitabh Bachchan!
