Three people have tagged me till date, and though I am averse to the idea of following tags myself, I just feel like posting something light, something that doesn't strain my tiny mind that's anyway too tired with the most hectic week of the semester just past.For anybody who expected me to write on rendezvous, wait, or forget it. There's very little chance I'd write on it, at least not soon. I'm exhausted.
I never thought i'd follow Pradyot's tag of the 55-story ever. It's just two less for me.But anyway, here's some crap. 55 words.One story. Or is it?
SILENCE
Silence.
Empty.
Dull.
Lifeless.
A flutter.
Freshness.
Life.
A smile.
Silence.
Suddenly warm.
Suddenly alive.
The eyes.
Depth.
Promise.
A blink.
Silence.
Excited.
Happy.
Anxious.
A surge.
Apprehension.
Desire.
Nerves.
Silence.
Terrified.
hopeful.
Courage.
Collected.
Fragile.
A final sigh.
A hand.
Outstretched.
Words.
No words.
Silence.
Pregnant.
Murderous.
Another blink.
Another smile.
Her.
Me.
Silence.

Anjul sir has also bestowed upon me the privilege(?) of a tag, and I thought I might as well do that too.
5 years ago:
I was studying. Supposedly. As in I used to go to some school. everyday. Boards got over, those days were fun, in their own right. Uncomplicated life. The beginning of 11th was rather sad. But that's all I remember. back then, I was a big time introvert. No friends. Nothing to do. Not a geek. Knew many people. But knew noone. I was happy. And then I changed.
1 year ago:
I had just entered IIT. Couldn't get myself to be fond of this place by then. working in Rendezvous 2004 changed that somewhat. Slowly got the feel of this place. the college. The people. The hostel. The new taste of loneliness here. I adjusted.
5 songs I know all the words to:
*Words of most Backstreet numbers, and yeah words by boyzone too
*some of Lobo's classics
*Lotsa bryan adams.
*Several old hindi songs, cant start naming them.
*A few gazals .
5 Snacks I enjoy:
* Muffin @ nescafe.
* Pizzas, generally.
* Tacky road side meals
* Maggi
* Anything I'm in the mood of eating.
Things I'd do with $100 million dollars:
* Gift my friends a lot of things I know they want.
* Get myself a lovely car, new comp, new lappy, digicam, i Pod etc etc etc.
* Travel a lot
* Make my mother go for shopping all she wants.
* give the rest to my dad.
5 places I would run away to:
* Home.
* Hostel.
* Any hilltop where there's noone.
* Middle of the sea, alone.
* Any place where I can be alone.
5 things I would never wear:
* nothing. I love experimenting with clothes. 5 things I'd never wear in IIT would have been a
better question!
5 favourite TV shows:
TV's almost extinct in my life.
5 greatest joys:
* The smile I see on someone's face that appears once I made an effort for that.
* When anybody smiles back because I smile.
* When my Ma gives me a hug on seeing my home every 20 days.
* When I can do absolutely nothing, or when I have LOTSA things to do.
* One I get when I make a friend, when I get someone to trust em even an ounce.
5 fav toys:
* Minds.
* My ten year old doll.

i am confused ...
what's a tag ?
Uh, Words is by Boyzone, and not Backstreet Boys
a tag is an online punishment:P
u r supposed to do what i did..as in since it's tag#1 for u, u have to post a story, any story, in less than 55 words.
most importantly, u have to POST.
ansd then u can pass the baton to someone else. see anjul's, prad's blogs for more on this.
Oops..sorry..typo error..intended to write words of most backstreet numbers, and made what a huge blunder out of it.
corrected now.
guess i'm still sleepy.

Hey there..thanks for dropping by. Aur haan..way down there somewhere on ur blog there's a poem 'Parting Ways'..I likd tht.
@wild1
My pleasure, and thank you.
@aberrant
:)
@voice
i cdnt come up with five of everything
and, thank god somebody thought it was a story and got the sense:P
Preg? Real story? :-P :-P
Nice story. I like things that can be interpreted in different ways. I don't even know if you intended there to be any sense in that 'story' but I tried and found it.
If your mother is anywhere close to the way most mothers are, I don't think there'll be any 'rest' left to give to your dad after you have let her shop all she wants. But nice thought; I would have done the same thing (with my mom, not yours!), and I feel so happy feeling how happy she would feel.
The first of your favorite toys is interesting.
@TLC
thanx...
@TheDQ
of crse not:P
@Arnav
When I wrote it, I had two interpretations in mind, two different scenes I could visualise out of that random sequence of words. Now I have two more. So I obviously had a story in mind. Just that I wasn't sure if anyone would see any sense in it. Still, I write for my own self, and hence it was fine.
Thanx.
I liked your take on the 55 words. Very different from others.
I have given it another go too!
What do i look like??A glutton for punishment:P.
