The Frigid moon

The evening was warm
The breeze was nice
I liked the Moon
Her smile was spiced

She glistened like gold among the stars
She glowed softly
I didn't see Venus pass
She looked at me and I held her glance
Dazed like a boy of fourteen
Struck by her charms

We saw her spin about heavenly bodies
She convinced me though
I had her on a leash
It was I who held her
From darting off to Jupiter
That it was me she craved
Or so she raved

The Earth popped up in discourse
And then she wept a drizzle
It's the earth that makes her dance
It makes her shine and dims her glow
The earth is hers eternally
And this, I should know

I just wanted the smile
The frolicsome joy and blissful gaze
Through the city and through the haze
On bouncy and on humdrum days

The wind turned chilly
She turned a stern grey
Behind a building, inching her way
The winds slapped my face
And she didn't care
For the strength to match the earth is rare
The the night went on and my neurons tussled
Wondering where the dove for me is nestled.

We'll find out! :)

To my trusty darling mmm… I love you gorgeous You are wider than you are tall Your single arm, bends and all You have no hips You have no shoulders A lovely heavy bodied boulder Bitterness spills over at your wide, black-lipped mouth I see through it, in and out Your brick red ravenously freckled skin patched with white Glistens in the sunlight. Your teeth are missing and so is your hair Your legs, your eyes… they’re just not there You smell at the end of a day’s work I don’t clean you, for I’m a jerk You’re perfect I couldn’t love you more No Romeo, no Ranjha felt such amor You make me warm, when I’m cold You wake me up when my eyes are sore You do not yap, you do not bore You do your job and say no more. I like my laptop, but I’ll replace it Like I’ll replace the furniture and rug But never you… My beloved Coffee mug.

Ailing Curiosity bibeebee BEEP....... bibeebeeBEEP .......... bibeebeeBEEP. .... hmmmmm.... guud morning...... what time is it?...... nearly seven... no biking today.... mmmmmm.... let's sleep in . ... zzzz.... maybe not.... If Jawahar Bhaiyya wakes up... it'll be an hour before I can use the bathroom . Alright! Let's leave my island bed and cross the Great Barrier Reef of Clutter to get to the bathroom... And so started my Sunday morning. People are astounded by how/why I wake up early on Sunday. Frankly, I have nothing better to do. The world averages eight hours of sleep a day, a third of its lifetime. What a waste! I wish we could do away with it entirely. But what would I much rather be doing? Something worthwhile perhaps. I would workout or go biking maybe, but it's not happening today. The other worthwhile thing would be to get some work done. ....yeaaahhhh..... Work! I need this experiment done. It'd be cool to see the phenotype. And based on where th

Veery Real Khrishen and I were walking towards the car. The students parking lot is at a distance from the Student Carrels and Khrishen's lab. I ogle at the first car, a BMW coupe parked right in the Faculty parking. I almost want to touch it. But then my eyes veer to silver Lexus posing at a different angle. Oh... and how could I miss the Porsche GT Carerra, purring silently in the other corner. I'm thinking "What sheer propulsion it'll give. Raw, smooth power!"... "Do you want to touch it?" sneers Khrishen in his Mauritian French accent. Not quite Poirot, but pleasant anyway. "Nah... it's the thrust of the engine beckons me" I retort... and we smile. Khrishen is a year into the graduate student life and I a day into it. Judging graduate student lives is tough. At twenty four, people have set ideas of what constitutes a good day. Khrishen is happy with his Sunday. He did some clean immuno-staining today and gathered three other papers supp
