Timepass

I have no time limit and no fixed slot for you.
Never have!
Never will!

You on the other hand have me neatly slotted.
You speak to me only when time permits.
You have fixed a time limit,
And you have fixed frequencies.
I am aware the slots shall keep reducing.
I am aware the frequency shall keep decreasing.
That's alright my love.
I am your pass time.

You encompass me,
All I think of is you,
All I want is you,
You are in my prayers,
And you are the answer to my prayers.

I am your Saturday thought,
And your Sunday timepass,
I am the crutch you hate and need,
I am the splint your broken heart needs,
I am the splint that shall be cast aside once the heart is mended.
That's alright my love,
I am your pass time.

You are in my weekdays,
You are in my work place,
You are in my heart and soul,
You are the reason I smile,
And you are why I see the sunrise.

I am your temporary love,
I am the tea bag in your tea service,
I am the voice that puts you to sleep, And yet,
I am the voice you wish you could hear no longer,
That's alright my love, this time too shall pass,
Till then I am your pass time.

I am the message that is deleted immediately,
You are the message that is saved eternally,
I am the timepass,
You are the reason time stops and moves,
You are the memory card that has a thousand back-ups,
I am auto-erase.
That's right my love,
I am the pass time.

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...
