My Era


I have a Woman's Era in front of me right now. By mistake.
Personally, I feel Woman's Era is for the menopausal and a silly wanna be of Cosmopolitan.
(if you are booing at me right now then 'I will spit on your grave'. No, I won't. Its an internal joke. You won't get it. Since you don't read Cosmo!!!!!)

The outer cover of this particular Woman's Era has the weirdest set of headlines on it.
I have read the whole issue page to page. (Yuss, its been a long Sunday. Don't get judgemental Missy!)
And I believe I could have written a better issue (for myself) than XYZ (for the love of God I can't find the Chief Editor's name in the book *suspicious*)

Where is the Paradise on Earth?
In Cosmopolitan.
Ha ha. Got ya! Just joking.
Paradise is in 107/1 Sundar Nivas.
Paradise is in the arms of someone. Someone worthy. Someone strong (for you). Mother, lover, friend, niece.
Paradise is in travelling. Luxuriously. Or penniless. Doesn't matter. While travelling, either ways, paradise is in the eyes, the ears, the tongue, the touch, the whiffs and in the mind.

Be sure of the bra over your boobs
Really, I am. I am absolutely sure I wear a bra over my boobs. I make sure I hook in all the hooks too.
But I think people on the road have their doubts. Especially people on the Delhi roads and metro.
*Kachinggggg*
Mumbai - 1. Delhi - 0.

Being sexy is just an attitude
Why be sexy? Be a lady.
Be kind (not a doormat). Be honest (as much as possible). Be graceful (i don't mean only dance here). Be healthy (Keep those Green Lays down). Be clothed (according to the weather & place). Be cheerful, bright, attentive.
Why be sexy dear? Be a lady.
Rakhi Sawants come and go. Lady Diana stays forever.

It is as old as the pyramids
To be honest, I have forgotten what this article was about. But seeing that this is Woman's Era I'm sure they must be talking about Kamasutra.
*Kachingggggg*
Cosmo - 3. Woman's Era - 0.

What spices up sex?
Next headline please.

Find the outway for tension?
By the way, is 'outway' a real word? Even MS Word is putting a red curvy line under it.
Anyways. Sing. Dance. Listen to music that YOU like. Read. Play games (not the cruel kinds). Travel. Absorb what good people are saying to the world. Learn archery, rifle shooting, horse back riding, sword fighting.
Go find your own 'outway'.

The key ingredient of marriage
Will update this post 5 years later. *Fingers crossed*

No more fears about diabetes
Who said so? I go to the loo more times than I breathe. I frequently crave for food like I'm 9 months pregnant. I look at water as if I'm just back from the Sahara desert. Polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria - check, check, check.
It's in the family. I'm fat. I melt when I'm offered sweets. An ultrasound and a blood sugar level report is long pending. And Woman's Era tells me to not fear about diabetes?
Woman's Era - 0. Netra - 0. Diabetes - 1.

PS: Did you notice 'Diabetes - 1' sounds like 'Diabetes - Won'?

Ignite




A candle among darkness
I'll burn my soul and die
But glowing is what I do
And from that I do not shy.

Candles all around me
All solid, all standing
But none exudes brightness
- "For what's the point in burning?"

"Burn burn burn!", I say,
"Burn your whole wax into ash & others dismay
Burn for your neighbour
Your dog, your love, your thingalings
But keep burning."
Or what else
Is the way to living?
