In the last 24 hours

  • Almost made a new friend. Realised can't make mistakes over and over. Stopped.
  • Got proposed,for marriage. Yes, MARRIAGE... :O :O... by this totally random guy who works in office, over emails and a fonecall. Hardly know him, but he claimed "you're someone i'd like to take home to mom"..What?I mean What?!?! He doesnt even know me.Finally got my back off him. Phew. Men! How can someone be so foolish as to be willing to love/marry me? ME?Pre-marital mishaps are a part of my life I guess.
  • Read this wonderful line somewhere."There is a game called 'What might have been?' that everybody plays. And nobody wins."
  • Fought with people when I least wanted to.
  • Was looking for something. Found this instead. Also this. Sigh.
  • Survived.

who survived? the unsuspecting hapless bloke who dared to put forth a prosposal and whose love filled heart you blew up in smithereens by a single stroke of blatant refusal..........

PS- the warning was well served, hope it helps in keeping potetial suitors at bay :P

Ah, A marriage Proposal. I read a drama by that name when I was quite young. Good times those were.
And about ‘what might have beens’, it is a good way of exercising one’s mental muscles. Going into the mood of the subjunctive and the conditional has always been a fascinating exercise for me. Each of your past actions, had varying ranges of other ways and possibilities by which the outcomes would be a dizzying amount of more possibilities. For example, if I were not born! Ah, that would have been bliss. Or had I died the day I was born, I would have been spared this thing called life. Not that I regret being born. I enjoy life, and I always hold that life is beautiful. But yes, one cannot assume such things when one goes into the mood of the subjunctive and the conditional.

Another thing about your uses of the word ‘Men!’ I use a rather similar but different word, ‘Man’ by which I refer not only to the dominating gender of the species but to mankind as a whole. It is always vaguely interesting to witness the blunders they make.

For In the last 24 hours:
Sputter!!!
As it was explained in Godfather...
the guy was struck by thunder...
And a naive question Dear Phoenix,
You stopped but if the other person has the tenacity and the perseverance to continue then that person might become your friend but you not his, So you gain a friend but not the person, is that what you are trying to do?
For Once Upon a Time:
Whats in a name?
Little but not all..
Did you realise that both your alterego titles were essentially equivalent to hope.
Maam, Take a bow!!! Because I am clapping unstopping...

jo reject hua woh hapless, hai na?
yar cmon....marriage? puh lease...
and to me ??
such randomly???
and at this age ????????

Hope it keeps everyone at bay :)

[dreamcatcher]
not funny!

[johney]
it's just a fantasy game, gives u heartbreaks and more discontentment than contentment..talks of the parallel universe
Not vaguely but very interesting. But I often find it something wrth smiling at more than anything else.

[pRicky]
No, all I'm trying to do is save someone, everyone, from myself.

and hope...hope is wat there is, howsoever feeble and illusory...or ther eis nthng.That is hw this world, and I, work.

vibhav said...

Right decisions all, surviving is very important. And nice line!

Anonymous said...

yep, who else :D
i am not siding with the 'man', but may be that's what they call falling head over heels, my sympathies go with the nutcase ;)
randomness.......may be people still believe in taking by surprise or blitzkreig :)
yeah i can understand the age thing, but otherwise, is there something wrong with you that should scare people away, such as horns, vampire teeth, sub zero IQ, dislike for choclates and icecreams, fetish for collecting pink barbie dolls :P

Sh'shank said...

Very
charitable of you but what gives you the authority to decide for the person?
See Phoenix... you cant decide na for another if they want to be saved or not?
-----
Feeble or not...
hope is why we survive and will survive and I dont mean in a romantic sense but as an evolutionary development of humans...

Anonymous said...

hmmm not funny...
well what u r trying to potray from the game...yeah everyone plays that with what might have been ...

u think u r trying to save someone...urself ..himself..as per how? judging things the way it comes is not the part we shd play...

Voice said...

last 24 hrs
hmmmm

movie bana lo ishpe :P

Phoenix said...

[vibhav]
Good, thanx buddy. at least smone agrees with me

[catalyst]
sab ko woh nutcase dikhta hai, main koi kam nutcase hoon...mujhse sympathy kaun karega? [:P]
and thankfully none of what u mentioned are in me (hopefully too) and barbie dolls yuck yuck, but there maybe other more sinister things, who knows?

[pricky]
agreed, but i dont want to be blamed later yet another time for taking advantage of a person's innocence and good faith...it's like not warning somebody who doesn't know there's a deep valley at the next step and letting him go ahead to fall is equivalent to murder..
right Darwin junior??

[dreamcatcher]
Too tough to explain.

[voice]
lol
if i have to make a movie i have other far far more interesting 24 hour snippets in my life

Phoenix said...

its nt my blog

and, the guy was decent, but that doesnt matter really

Anonymous said...

hmm..hmmm...okie

Ajith Prasad Balakrishnan said...

Isnt it a better way to go about it rather than chasing a gal, love letters, emotions ,arguments etc.. I think that guy did a good job :)

Sh'shank said...

Hmm See I dont mean to offend but your warnings would fall on deaf ears when a person intends to not be scared by you snatching their innocence...
But kudos anyhow...

Phoenix said...

[ajith]
In a way, yes. Direct honest et al..but there's also smthng called right thing at the righ moment...jumping the gun doesnt give u results all the time

[pricky]
my job is just to tell, warning disclaimer types..if they choose not to listen, their mistake not mine......sttutory warning is mandatory...i, my dear, am gonna be injurious to ur health.
If smoke u must still anyway, go ahead :)

Anonymous said...

someday there gonna be one unfortunate 'man' :D , or so i think (there are only two other possibilities anyway *wink wink )
whether they heed to your warnings or choose to embrace the perils, your indulgence is what that counts when it comes to their going ahead, dont you think :)

Phoenix said...

[catlyst]
maybe, maybe not.
Hot sizzling understanding girlfrnd would be better anyday, but watever m luck brings, or doesnt bring is ok
high hopes it would be still, to expect smone to take a risk so big :) I dont know anyoone that foolish, do you?

then, maybe, i'd comply too. :)

Anonymous said...

OMG :D such nonchalance :P


try me ;)
offcourse my candidature doesnt stand a chance against a real looker of a girl, but then, in this life i have no means and intentions for changing things :)

PS- its all about compatibility, the sum has to be greater than its parts, and this is what all that matters :)

Phoenix said...

[catalyst]
Actually, I'd love to. It's only you who still hides your identity from me, else you're one person I'd definitely like to know a lot lot more. And even the nonchalant disdainful me may comply, who knows !

BUT, what :O :O did you mean by "a real looker of a girl"???????????
huh?

and u r right, sum greater than parts is what is needed...compatibiilty and understanding.
Game??

Anonymous said...

how i hate being reminded of my limitations as an ogre......... ( quoting zero punto cinque th commandment.... ' thou shalt not reveal yourself unto this world if seekth friends ) :D

looker is slang for a hottie, added to that i made a miserable attempt at witty circumlocution :)
though technically correct, i must assure you :P

hide and seek??

PS- are you 'fiona' by any remote chance ;)

Anonymous said...

People's perceptions (or at least, descriptions) about themselves change.. sometimes even disappear. Survival in this world is tough. Not all survive. Not all of everybody survive. So who (or rather, 'which') are you?

Phoenix said...

[catalyst]
Dear monster,
Dont ya think u r the one being the hide n seek player, shunning ppl/frnds etc by "nt revealing urself unto this world"?
Me? Fiona? What makes u think that!
Looker n hottie? You need an eye checkup i guess!

[vik]
Tough question. A bit of everything i guess

Anonymous said...

what more can an ogre ask for, than fiona ;) you might have heard about one of my brethern, shrek :P
i am not a psycho (or so i believe :) ) or an old hag who pelts stones at people trying to approach :D ...............
i entertain friends and foes as others do. but,i just love being a non entity, similar to a child in hiding enjoying and teasing others trying to find him. and its like that child i refuse to reveal ( have you read 'games in twilight' by anita desai ? )

PS- this is not snobbery or highhandedness, but rather antics of a kid at heart. if only it was possible for me to request your presence over a cuppa hot chocolate and a box of lindt for your kind audience over my idiosyncracies.........but distance sure plays the spoiler :D
sadly, your guess is right, i do need to get my eyes checked. I think i am missing a lot ;)

Phoenix said...

yeah, i have read that one...wonderful piece..and i can sense the veil u search..teasingly hiding ur identity and working up the enigma.
Yor are a kid indeed, and a real charming one at that :)
All right, go ahead, play hard to get!
Still, I've already accepted an invitation for coffee/choc + rant anyday anytime, even if you havent asked yet. :)
