Every once in a while a new word seems to proliferate into the vocabulary of the masses...nothing derogatory about that term mind you, but really referring to the toms, the dicks and the janes..all of them all....suddenly have a new word to exploit....the most recent one being paradigm...a while ago it was holistic and before that some other neurotic reference to delicate minds..i forget what it was...
Really, what is it with people? Why the incessant need to use the lingo of the month?
Me, I am crazy in my own way....either am stuck with four words or really raring to go and incorporate this one word into all my sentences {an all time low was hit when morbid had stayed around for weeks and then made a comeback few months later!}...and if that wasn't enuff...yes, I have this irritating habit to spell words differently or indulge in inappropriate usage...or just invent newer ways to say the same old thing {do not swipe your access card, beep it, or don't shade the options in the OMR sheet but bubble them in}
Bushisms you say...nah i'd rather you compared me with Prince Charles.....

To all of us who live in Bombay, a trip to any part of the city away from where home is, would entail a joy ride in the signature line of Indian Railways - the local trains...and here I was back from a peaceful weekend at a resort where life had moved at a leisurely pace. Now rush hours can bogg even the hardiest down sometimes, but the litle incident I am trying to get at in this longwinded fashion took place in the bright sunny afternoon, when the population is either at work or snoozing at home/office...wherever. Anyways, as I stood in the passage near the door,a little yelp escaped the 30-something on my left...she then pointed frantically at the floor, letting out a string of exclamations which all took some deciphering. Finally on directing my gaze towards the thing she was pointing out, I spied a cocroach - having nothing short of a blast. The poor guy had probably not gotten this much attention in his life and failing to recognize the protocol, he was going around in dizzying circles...Oops I thought...thats the pits, the trains are going to the dogs, look at those poor women trying to fight for legroom while the bug zooms around their feet...and they are so oblivious to the fact{nobody had taken any notice of the yelping}...and then it struck me...I hadn't moved a muscle, not done a thing - wasn't even warning a person....suddenly I was wondering if this was crazy or just weird...I really didnt care, just standing there neither wanting nor actually doing a thing...{see that is not me really, coz if anything, I have to be apart of the action}This was either a hangover of the laziness induced at the resort or my plain antipathy...and I couldn't care less...
All I could do was be glad about the crazy bug not being a crazy lizard....now that would have elicited a response from me! Atleast thats what I think.
