Yet another assassination

Last night I met a girl
A girl whom I’ve never seen for long
I didn’t know what she is doing
I didn’t know where she has gone
All that I knew all this while was
She disappeared
And I was thankful for that
How I hated her
The way she used to rule
The way she used to fool
Bloody bitch!
When I moved out of my home
And climbed down the stairs
I saw a dark shadow
I turned around
And there she was
Staring at me
With a sneaky smile
I smiled back
Just as a formality... a protocol
But deep down inside my heart
My blood boiled
How stupid of me
To let her barge in once again
To let her overpower once again
I think it’s time for yet another assassination!

Nocturnal Relics

I stand still with eyes wide open
To see her dressed in black
Pointing at me, she moves towards me
Slowly and steadily
One step at a time
Little droplets of sweat
Shine around my forehead
Heart trembles
And knees wobble
Now she stands close to me
Very close to me
So close that I can feel her heavy breath
And her cold eyes piercing right through mine
Like a venom coated iron spade
I open my mouth to ask her
Why is she there
What does she wants
But before I utter a word
My eyes get closed and mouth sealed
With icy cold lips of hers
I feel like I kissed a lizard
A dead lizard
She inserts her blue toxic tongue in to my mouth
And everything around me evaporates in a trice
I open my eyes and see her nowhere
Only a blackish blue mark on my lips
A bruise for the lifetime...

BBism


‘No phone for a month... plz call or msg if extremely important...’

One of my friends puts this as her FB status, and people flood her status with comments asking why.

What actually happened is that her Blackberry gave up on her... reason damaged display. Knowing her since last two years I can declare that it’s quite normal with a girl who either keeps dropping her Apple, cell phone, laptop or at least her car keys or tumbles at least once a day. Now, she must be using her decade-old handset.

Coming back to her status message, even I followed the herd and commented ‘Back to the basics” on it.

Now that was quite impulsive, but later I gave a second thought on it and felt really dumb.

How dependent we have become on technology. Not using BB is not the end of the world. And she won’t even have problems in keeping pace with the world as she has kept herself reachable through her old handset.

It’s just one-step-backward and not back-to-square-one thingy at all!
On the contrary, thank God we have never gone through that phase yet... and hopefully will never go.

Excuse me; I just got an SMS on my phone (which ain’t a BB yet... yet to follow the herd)
