Go Figure!!


Situation 1:
You know how there are times when u wanna throw something and when u don wanna throw it at something in particular and u almost always end up hitting that exact same thing...
whereas when u badly wanna hit on something[not a person!] placed on a wall or something u end up hitting everywhere other than that thing u were aiming at..

Situation 2:
You clean your house someday [under tremendous pressure & cos u don have a choice] u come across something that u never use..NEVER, so come to a conclusion that its completely obsolete and decide to let it stay where ever it was. After a few days or months u need that thing desperately and u know for sure its somewhere in ur house but how much ever u try u cant figure out as to where u saw it.

Situation 3:
Often people do a lot of small crimes, petty stuff like lying to your parents about going out and freaking out with your friends and tell them that ur gonna go and study?? [yeah like that's ever gonna happen] and lotsa such stuff small lies and stuff.. have u noticed how smoothly the execution of that whole thing goes?? its like wow... and then there's one day when u honestly don do anything wrong or bad but just end up being in the wrong place at the wrong time and get yourself tangled in a horrible situation u would never have seen coming [pity isn't it]!

Situation 4:
You know at various times when u see people and instantly think u hear a sound in the background going 'CLICK'.. man it feels like all the stars are calling out to u that 'The Right Person' and its not long b4 u realize u couldn't have been more wrong about the whole thing all along. friends, girl friends, boyfriends, study mates on various judgments and that actually in the end the perfect person was so close to u yet so far and that u wouldnt have imagined in ur wildest dreams that it could be that person.. [man!! life's tricky]

Situation 5:
There are so many times when all of us keep planning a particular thing with all vigor and anticipation and doesn't go your way and when u least expect stuff something perfect just happens.. Its not like a formula or something but it is to an extent always true that expectation and disappointment are directly proportional and expectation and joy is inversely proportional exactly why ppl love to have surprise parties thrown for them[hint: guys throw me one for my next b'day]

Disclaimer:
All situations are general assumptions on observing normal ppl's lives if it was other wise in the course of ur life it means u are.. u know wat i'm getting at.

You're welcome to comment and when u do so dont forget to put in other intersting 'tricky' situations that u might have gone thru or u escaped..

PLEASURE OR PAIN !!!


Was sitting there in my cubicle,
Unable to concentrate on anything on my table now,
Mobile rings loudly, something very painful about it,
It was what i thought, what we had been expecting,
She was barely completing her sentences,
Told me "i think its time....hurry Frank",
I assured her i was coming, picked my briefcase in sheer hurry,
Went to the parking lot taking long strides in almost a run,
Only to realise i had left my keys on the desk,
Ran back with twice the speed, grabbed the keys came back to my car.

On my way home everything seemed to be whirling around,
Everyone except me seemed to be moving faster,
Parked the car in front of the apartment,
Rushed to the stairs, climbed it taking two at a time,
I blasted the door open,
Lilly was there clutching the handle of the couch,
Face horribly contorted with visible pain,
Poor woman tried to stay calm and was taking deep breaths,
In all this trauma she still managed to force a peaceful smile when she saw me at the door,
I was gasping for breath as well and asked her "Are you sure this is it??",
She couldn't get words out so just fiercly nodded her head.

I rushed to the bedroom and got all the stuff together,
Took her hand in mine and slowly walked her down the stairs,
The pain my love was undergoing was evident from the way she was gripping my hands,
I wanted it to get over, wanted her to be happy,
She had already called the doc and wheelchair was waiting for us,
I took the stuff from the trunk and rolled her into the hospital,
There was something unnerving about the place,
The plain white walls and the medicines on the trays,
Doc told us it was goin to be alright, be fine,
I couldnt see how or didnt kno when.

She was still taking deep breaths and pain hadnt seemed to alleviated even bit,
We were in the room waiting for the doc to come,
She looked into my eyes and said "She'll soon be here and gave a longing smile..",
Pressed my hand with care and expectation,
Doc came, examined her, told us she was ready for the ward,
Now the pain had reached its pinnacle,
She couldn't hold herself together any longer,
It was unbearable for me to see her like this,
I prayed "God! Just make it stop!"

We went into the ward,
The doc somehow understood what i was feeling,
Calmly said "It'd soon be over Mr.Parker",
I so hoped it would,
She was struggling and twitching with pain,
I couldnt bear to look at her,
Not like this,
I couldnt stand straight, was swaying in my place,
Tears just blocked my sight seeing her scream with pain,

Soon there was as sudden sense of unbelievable exhiliration in the air,
And he hands over to me saying "There..Your daughter..looks beautiful",
I looked down at this tiny miracle in my arms,
Yes! it was unbelievable,
Out of nowhere there were brand new ten little toes and fingers,
Moving slowly, trying to look at the new place she's brought into,
Lilly slowly pulled my arm,
She saw the angel in my hand and all the pain magically flew away,
She raised her head and kissed our baby's forehead,
My love was glowing with beads of tears sparkling on her face,
Smiled slowly at me and kissed me and said "She's ours Frank!!"
It was truly the miracle of birth.

Anticipation...


She was standing there,
Eyes filled with anticipation,
Dreaming and planning the days to come,
The arrival call rings in her ear,
The gates open and there's hustle and bustle,
People around her jumping up and down,
To catch a glimpse of the familiar face they're waiting for,
In ones and twos they come pouring out of the gate,
Identifying their kith and kin,
Clearing the way and the place.

She was standing there,
Eyes filled with anticipation,
Clutching a boquet of pretty flowers,
And carrying a prettier smile on her face,
The number around her diminishing steadily,
Wondering what keeps him still,
Eyes fixed on the gate staring helplessly,
The place almost completely empty,
The gate was closing,
Where would she go, whom would she ask?

She was standing there,
Dejection pouring over her,
Streams of tears grazing over her cheeks,
She looks down at the boquet,
Suddendly flowers looked more miserable than her,
Her legs seemed to be stuck at the place,
She was incapable of movement,
A heavy hand falls upon her shoulder,
She Turns back with almost a jerk,
Sees straight into those eyes of longing and passion,
Asked her calmly eye contact still on,
"Honey!why you waiting at the gate of another flight?",
Amidst the wetness and tears,
She gives a small chuckle to herself,
Threw her arms around him,
Giving him the best hug she had ever given,
And said softly "Of course you were coming"...
