Hugs

Who was the last person you hugged? and the one before that? How were the two actions different?

I sometimes wonder, how many different kinds of hugs are there in our lives.

There is this "all out hug" which can easily turn into a bone crushing experience, generally shared amongst guys in one of those super happy friendly moments.

Then there is that "barely a hug", which is more like an awkward pat on the back while standing in front of each other. Mostly happens, when you are not really sure how friendly are you supposed to be.

Then there is that "cuddle", which is what most children give their parents, and is often shared by brothers/sisters as well.

Then there is that "impossibly long embrace", mostly shared between spouses when meeting in public where they are actually reluctant to let each other go, but kinda have to ( I don't know how long into the relationship it continues). I am not even getting into whatever happens in private.

Then there is that "I am not hugging you hug", where it is just a way of telling the other person that I would rather stab you in 21 different places than hug you but I am still doing it just to maintain courtesy. Some couples do graduate to this one from the one above with time. Or may be most do.

Then there is that " Bum out face in crouch ", generally shared amongst between friends of different sexes, for obvious reasons, and in an attempt to avoid awkwardness is probably the most awkward one to look at, because it looks like both the people are using each other as sticks to help them stand, and are suffering from spinal disorder.

You got any additions to the list?...rite on...

Ever wondered, why some people change with time, and some others don't. And what side of the line are you on?.

Weird thought about a bookmark
I had just finished a book called Wheels, while on my way back from work, and was wondering where to put the bookmark "in" now.

I kept it aside for use in my next book, and it is then that I wondered, what would it be like, to be a bookmark.
To be in touch with so many books, for such long periods, and then part, the moment the reader is done with the book.

I believe every book would leave a certain kind of mark on it, a small scratch, a little fold, an ink mark where water had spilled on the book with the book mark in it.

How would the bookmark feel, while looking back at all it's marks it had collected over the years.
And then I wondered, isn't a book mark a lot like us??..

We meet so many people - our books, have relationships, become friends, create memories - our marks, and then move on in life, without knowing when we will come across the same books again.

Or may be a bookmark is like a philanderer, who has small - term relationships, with many women (or men at times, if you know what I mean), and then moves on, with no marks, no guilt, no feeling whatsoever. And may be someday, the reader would forget it, inside a book, and that would be the philanderer's marriage, and it will stay there forever if that book was never retrieved.

But such a bookmark, would always look anew, since it would have no marks from the books in the past.

Ans somehow, I have never seen a used bookmark, which looks anew. The marks are always there.



Weird Thought about Buses and Bathrooms

What is common between buses and bathrooms, apart from the facts that they both start with a "B", and that in both places, people are often present, sitting in a relaxed manner, and some are known to fall asleep in both places.

I figured it is the fact that I keep getting all of these weird ideas in these places only.

But you know, it might have to do with the fact that my head is idle at both these times, since one doesnt use it much while sitting alone in a bus, or well you know, at the other place :)

Weird Thoughts

Weird Thought 1: Are we humans getting so used to alarm clocks that we are evolving out of there influence and something new on the lines of "Kick on the butt" needs to be invented soon enuf to maintain the sanctimony of the institutions of days and nights....or probably we started from chimps and are now moving towards owls...blurring all the boundaries....if i m still making sense to u...man...r u an alien...thats utter crap!!

Weird Thought 2: Aliens haan...now that we have come to that...most of us have read these books about them coming down and taking one of our breed to trips which sometimes turn into horny fantasies or scary beatdowns....and for those who haven't acquired the reading talents so far...u must have seen some of that in the movies....
My point here is...Are they anything else but a figment of our imagination??....i mean lets think of it the other way round...imagine we find out another planet where there is life....and boy...we sure as hell are going to run out of space on earth pretty soon...hence the need to invade there dwellings....
And against all what good old Darwin said...we assume that they look like weird contractions of us humans with a few extra limbs sticking out of weird spots...which would serve no purpose but to differentiate them from us....
nehow.. u really think we would choose as a race....to fornicate our way into their population...(i know what some of u r thinking...NO..that is not a possibility...Go get a life !!)...or may be kidnap them to beat them to shit...i know we humans are unpredictable.....but common we are better than that...
So the fact is...probably they would come...probably they are allready here in some way....but i guess we can let the freaks at NASA think about that ....and enjoy our fantasies....though may be we cud work a little on the quality of them....
