The indefinable something.

For the past few days, I have been trying to define something that has been happening to me. It hasn't happened suddenly- rather gradually, developing over a period of months, and has gathered momentum in the last 8 or 10 days.
I've been sitting and obsessing over it, at times- maybe even feeling uncomfortable about it. Trying to choose between two things, if truth be told. And the choice was too difficult.
But I was told that I didn't necessarily have to choose. Indeed. Later on, the truth of it struck me. Why should I have to choose? I know the saying "You can't have your cake and eat it too" but who says I'm having my cake and eating it too? For instance, I could be having my cake, and going skydiving!
I know it doesn't make sense, but in a way, it does.
We have this overpowering need to make sense of everything, to explain every feeling, to analyse every relationship. But does everything necessarily have to make sense? It's wonderful, what's happening to me, and it doesn't make sense at all.
And suddenly, I'm okay with it. I'm not obsessing anymore.
It's not run-of-the-mill, it's not ordinary, and it definitely isn't normal. But, a Wise Man once told me, "Everything in our lives doesn't have to feel normal, sometimes strange is more familiar."
I couldn't agree more.
Thank you, oh Wise Man.

Random Thoughts.

1. KFC rocks! I went there for lunch today, after ages. Mmm- fried chicken is the cure for everything!
2. Started watching a movie called The Prestige in the evening, then the power went off, and I missed most of it, but I watched the end. True, I didn't follow much, but it's a brilliant movie, and I am going to watch it again. I recommend it very highly. Hugh Jackman is an added bonus. *wink*
3. Playing the Random-Questions game is fun. I'm sure the person who this is meant for knows what I'm talking about. Heh.
4. My latest favourite song is Keane- Everybody's Changing
5. Booze-party at Neeli's place was good fun- surreal, to say the least, but great fun. Right from the emotional trips to guys passing out all over the place- it was a day to remember!

Presenting the 'Bangali Babu'.

Presenting the Bangali Babu. The cat with the toothbrush 'typical Bong' moustache. He's just too adorable for his own good. And to fathom how tiny he really is- compare him to the size of my hand.

Things I bought today.

A pair of Levi's- Straight fit. It's like a second skin- so amazingly comfortable, and familiar, somehow. There's nothing like a good ol' pair of Levi's. This makes my fifth pair!
BOOKS- A House For Mr. Biswas (V S Naipaul), Animal Farm (George Orwell), Fury (Salman Rushdie), and To Kill A Mockingbird (Harper Lee).
