| Introduction | I'd describe myself as mildly eccentric...quirky, depending on the phases of the moon...severely brain-damaged due to this funny bone mislodged deep inside my grey matter... Love the smell of new books...petrichor...the stinging smoke of a wood-burning chula...taking u back to what seem like a million years ago...to a tiny village... M particularly partial to -- if u havent already noticed it -- ellipses...n exclamation marks!! An incorrigible romantic...be it abt the memory of a few stray strands of hair, blissfully blowing across her face... Or smthng as mundane as watching a raindrop slowwwwlllyyyy snake its way down a window pane... The reflection of the moon in a stagnant inky black puddle... Or the flaming cackle of gulmohar blossoms on a blisteringly sunny afternoon... Watching the velvetty starry night sky, perched precariously on my terrace wall...which smtimes makes me wanna want to dangle off the crescent moon...mid-sky, mid-life, mid-naught... Or just grab a palmful of stars n splatter them into her luscious black smiling hair... Ya I know...m hopeless... Now excuse me, while I kiss the sky... |

Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?
Banana peel: Stepping onto it might make u take off n fly...if not that, then u'll atleast crash-land!
