<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t get me wrong: super powers are great. I mean who
doesn’t want to fly or be able to turn green and smash through a wall. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But c’mon… nobody fancies being bitten by a radioactive
mosquito.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s just painful – for everybody.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Clark dresses up in his blues, people scream: It’s a bird;
it’s a plane... When Bruce started setting the scene in Gotham, criminals
started saying ‘Beware of the Batman’. All I can say is: ‘Kutte, Kamine… Mein
tera khoon pee jaoonga!’ (Translation: Dog, B@$#@%>, I will drink your
blood!). It’s like being a part of the Twilight series – except I have wider
range of facial expressions than the entire cast.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Criminals die laughing when I say that because of the irony.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You know that first time Peter Parker realized something was
up; and that he could climb walls; and was so glad that he wasn’t shooting webs
from his rear? I had a not-so-similar moment.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, I was working from home, late one evening night and
suddenly I felt like I was choking. The air was getting thinner and nose was
starting feel numb. My feet were twisting backwards and the whole time I kept
turning left: some weird (probably prehistoric) instinct that I was going to
die if I didn’t leave immediately. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I got up and found my legs were actually backwards. I began
to fall. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But suddenly I was no longer falling. I had another pair of
hand-like-thingies sticking out of my torso (damn things tore through my
Simpsons t-shirt). My back was arching, my mouth was thinning and only a mirror
could tell me why my back was itching like a flea ridden mongrel. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Add all this agony to a screaming voice in my head saying:
‘MUST RUN, MUST FLY, NEED BLOOD!’. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I arched and turned. During my fall, I had accidently let my
water bottle slip and water had spilt all over the floor. I looked into my
reflection. I had antenas on my head and I could see a pale shimmering wing
buzzing wildly. I tried to scream. What my roommate heard was:
‘eiiiiinnnnnggghhhiiii’ (typical mosquito noise). He jumped to his feet and
reached for his mosquito racket.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He rushed to my room and I saw the joy in his eyes: One Big
Juicy Mosquito to kill. I had seen that look before. Flashbacks ran through my
head, when I had seen him wield that racket with so much panache, it could have
put Glen Maxwell or Maria Sharapova or even their love child’s moves to shame.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The voice in my head screamed louder! I panicked! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My wings began to buzz and upwards I went.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*THUD!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hit the fan!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My villain-of-the moment saw me make my move. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘NOW OR NEVER’, he yelled!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I flew straight at him: Mouth pointed out, trying to tell
him it was me: but all he saw was the challenge of culling the earth of the
monstrosity that was me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Racket flies! *SWOOSH!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He gets me at my left leg’s tip. A few hair follicles singed:
still hoping that I could get out of this alive.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I tried getting up. But he was faster. He struck again! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*WHAM!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I narrowly missed the wire and hit my face against the frame
of the racket.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All the mosquito instinct powered in! I dived. Too quick for
him! He didn’t see it coming. I leaped towards the door and so did he. He tried
another backhand with his weapon. I evaded!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had bought a moment of time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then I saw it: My Mosquito Sense showed me that if I jumped
up and flew straight for his head, and hit a hard right, I could get out of the
room.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My wings buzzed. His eyes were bloodthirsty. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He flung the racket and ran to get me!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now imagine this in slow motion: I jumped! The racket coming
for me, my roommate running and screaming out loud! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The racket still coming at me, turns clockwise. I fly
towards it anti-clockwise. I see it pass me: with its morbid crackling laughter
fill my ears!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The turn executed (Top Gun Tom Cruise would be proud of me),
I focus my attention towards my charging death! His hands reach out to swat me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He misses! I get out of his arm’s length! I’m almost there.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just before I exit the room, I realize what caused the
choking in the first place: I had put the Mosquito Liquidator on! (I know:
suicidal right?)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I barely had a moment. I darted towards the hallway. My
balcony door was open. Trusting my wings and hoping gravity would be nice: I
JUMPED!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I made it out. The cool breeze was healing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the distance I heard the watchman scream,
‘M-M-M-MOCH-MOCHAAARRR!!!!’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I turned around.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My roommate was there! Still angry. I could see him mouth:
This is not over.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I knew it too: this was going to be difficult.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But like they say: One day at a time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Up I flew, leaving the world behind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-FIN-<o:p></o:p></div>

Hold that thought...<br />
<br />
Let it linger.Let it take its space,irrespective of whether it deserves it or not.Let it flow.Let it run wild.Let it tame itself.Let it grow.Let it spawn...Smile when it runs down memory lane, cry when it hits a dead end & cant climb over it.Entertain the idea of growth.See its potential. Seek its core. Scream when its redundant...enjoy the patternless ride.Jump aboard its illusiveness and if you have to take a moment to thank yourself for it.<br />
<br />
You gave it life in an inanimate world of dead thoughts, that circle and clog your reason.You brought forth a concept that's new, yet logical because of its roots.You seem perfectly all right with it, and so should the world.<br />
<br />
You take it up upon yourself to extend the thought, and more join the cluster.They swarm and make a hive with thoughts so sweet.Sweeter than all those ironies & innuendos that people always have as "ready wit". No: this is sweeter.<br />
<br />
You don't have to answer anyone about why your ideas are amok or why they follow a ritualistic pattern.Anarchism to the degree, when its transformed into a discipline. No: its not an oxymoron...imagine: if everyone saw the beauty. An Idea. A splendid one. One without purpose, yet with a roll to break the monotony. <br />
<br />
A third of a second passes, yet you shoot down the reality checks, and you let it remain, despite your "advisers". You wait. You patiently wait, until it bears fruit, except here:its a new perspective. Its a new high, and a new zenith.<br />
<br />
You dream on. There are no encounters with people whom you dislike.Everyone here is someone who is shaping your world.One mistaken incident at a time.One displced notion after another & most importantly one leg of emotions after the next.You see them now as those who broke your Blinders. And the idea gets stronger. You have given it a boost towards a moral understanding. Slowly a spiritual angle can take place, but you don't have to entertain it, because this is YOUR thought. <br />
<br />
You have a world of your own, and everyone there is your friend.The idea grows from a thought. And it does because you let it.</div>

Run for cover....It’s been a while... I know.... But like wine, the good things in life are to be slow....<br />Anyway for all that you know, I'm still thinking about what to do with this blog that I started just for the heck of it.<br />It’s been an interesting vacation from the blogging world (and no I am not a professional blogger and have a consultancy for amateur bloggers, as I my style of expressions reasonably demand your imagination to see me as)<br />For starters, have you organized a concert?<br />Have you watched your teachers get married and leave college, after 3 farewells?<br />Have you had a family member in a cardiac issue, but seen him pull through amongst all odds and still smile at you when walk into his house and look at him through his room?<br />Have you started playing the grand piano, and sucked at it so bad, that you wonder what your instructor is going through? (I think I've gotten better now)<br />Have you grown your hair, and cut it off a time most suitable for shocking your immediate environment...?<br />I have.... Been there, done that....<br /><br />Seeing life as someone who is getting ready to kick off life with both feet firm on stands, (and with an angle of humor to everything) I have tried to figure out why fishes don’t have necks and why the Italians don’t have a fusili collection (contributed by Sam Pereira : without his knowledge)<br /><br />Life has taken such un-whatever turns for me, that now I’m prepared to be unprepared for everything.... It’s nice to be surprised, don't you think?<br /><br />Well life isn't something we must speak off with the same tone of discussing your previous day's dentist's appointment: Painful, but pleasant later....<br /><br />My friends who expect me to start writing again....well, I'll try to be more regular henceforth, but If I can't: I don't care, Its my blog.... :)<br /><br />Still reading? Dear god! I must make a note about this on my reminder book: [wonder why people still reading your stuff....] :)<br /><br />Well so long folks...now you can aim for that red X at the top right end corner....<br /><br />P.s: Do you now how a dog listens to music?<br />Ans: It uses a nai-pod :)Manoj Natesanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15615292965346624885noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079893737409745127.post-53476977680829971252007-07-20T14:33:00.000+05:302007-07-20T15:11:29.124+05:30Blog Number : Von !!!Forgive the title, its not his fault. I made him do it !<br /><br />As I kept wondering if I do need a blog, I remembered that I have a job (which I am not paying heed to) and I was to get back to it....soon [I will be happy to say that 'soon' isn't a quantified measure of time and continue to rattle]<br /><br />Well I finally decided to start my own blog for reasons as obvious as the next!!! In my haste to run for president, and eat some real good andhra meals (with my foodie partner Om), I forgot to mention: My name is on the left side... Just so you know....<br /><br />I am a trained assasin, who can kill you with just words ! Ha !<br />You see the knowledge of oriental names of martial arts is for free usage and I prefer not to mention my favorite amongst the 356 names which I know.<br /><br />You must be wondering, who does this egoistic dude think he is...<br />My split half personality agrees with you...Honest,infact he's the one who is typing this line ! :)<br /><br />Well my hobbies and cars will not attract anybody for the moment, because I still have to sign Bradd Pitt for my movie (maybe I could meet Angelina Jolie at the same time) [grinnn]<br /><br />Arrivederci to all those who are already pointing the mouse pointer at the red X on the top right end corner of this window, and Bon Appetit to the rest !!<br /><br />-Manoj<br /><br />P.s: Gramatical errors is to ensure that I don't win a noble prize for Literature (in any langauge)Manoj Natesanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15615292965346624885noreply@blogger.com4
