Slipping the surly bonds of earth. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. I wish you would come to me. Not just when you're in pain. That way I wouldn't have to look forward. To your getting hurt again.

Slipping the surly bonds of earth. Sunday, January 30, 2011. Hey, have u reached? Me, I’m still at home! I’m just KNEW something was gonna go wrong! And now I’ll be late! I mean, when I got that new teleporter, I thought wow! No more disorientation problems, no battery issues…….…………. and ALWAYS REACH IN TIME! And now this. I called the service center and the guy has the audacity to tell me that the warranty lasts only for the first 50 teleportations! I’ll leave now. Grab a seat for me. This Day in History.

slipping the surly bonds of earth...: The Minimum Energy Level
http://slippingthesurlybondsofearth.blogspot.com/2010/09/minimum-energy-level.html
Slipping the surly bonds of earth. Saturday, September 11, 2010. The Minimum Energy Level. It seems to me that there are two phases in which we all exist. One – where everything is proper, where one moves about with check valves highly active in the brain. One stifles yawns, sits upright on chairs, politely declines third helpings (even if it’s a favorite dish) and resigns to second (for fear of insulting the cook). So why care the rest of the time? And there are still others. Those that are so satur...

slipping the surly bonds of earth...: In wait
http://slippingthesurlybondsofearth.blogspot.com/2010/11/in-wait.html
Slipping the surly bonds of earth. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. I lie, frozen glacial. Impassive, dreary and still. I lie choked and stifled. Stationary against my will. I seem a mere ghost. To the wandering casual eye. Unable to discern the tiny trickle. That despite all, refuses to rigidify. The sun sends its compliments. But it'll take more than a few rays. To strike a chord. With my crystal carapace. Someday the water will gush forth. Unfettered, free at last. To surge, to breathe life.

slipping the surly bonds of earth...: Reminisces
http://slippingthesurlybondsofearth.blogspot.com/2011/03/reminisces.html
Slipping the surly bonds of earth. Friday, March 4, 2011. A conversation with a friend in class today led me to write this post. Later as I reflected on the conversation I was struck by how vividly we remember a few chosen incidents or (for lack of a better word)facts and forget the rest. I don't count "memorable days" which I'll return to, but later. These are ostensibly unremarkable days. I can't even give an example here, because they truly have nothing worth remembering. Or do they? Then again, there...

slipping the surly bonds of earth...: June 2010
http://slippingthesurlybondsofearth.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Slipping the surly bonds of earth. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Nights on end without a wink. Days full of empty marooned time. Now and then, a feeling of hope. A sense of despair in the mean time. 8216;Have one, just one before you leave’. 8216;Never have, besides, I’ve brought my car’. 8216;Really, I insist, have one for the road’. 8216;I’ll down the cola and hit the tar’. Amidst screeches and tears. The ambulance wails its way on. They stare at me full of rage. Verdict announced; conclusion foregone.

Slipping the surly bonds of earth. Monday, May 25, 2009. This is the first time in years that i've written a poem. And a symbolic one, never before. Hope u like it! Please comment and let me know your suggestions. She’d never stepped out. Of her glorious past. Never dreamed that it wouldn’t last. She’d never stepped out. Of Rolls and silk. Diamonds, rubies and their ilk. Her lovely doe eyes. Across chandeliers, manicured lawns,. Vales and clear skies. Blind to the sea of weeds. Not a single soul.

A love in progress | Happiest in Transit
https://happiestintransit.wordpress.com/2015/02/03/a-love-in-progress
Of travels, of all kinds. A love in progress. February 3, 2015. February 4, 2015. For the ‘A’s. The one who reads all my writing and the one who is travelling to Calcutta soon, taking my love back to the city. One of the few reasons I started this blog way back in 2011 was because I wanted to write about Calcutta. However, recently I got nostalgic about it for the umpteenth time and ended up writing something rather flippantly. I think I was trying to tell someone what it meant for me. Walk in the bylane...

http://slippingthesurlybondsofearth.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Slipping the surly bonds of earth. Saturday, August 15, 2009. I am celebrating ONE year of blogging! And I just discovered MS Word 2003 does not know the word. It gave me a red squiggle below ‘blogging’! One person who has played an undeniably vital role in getting me to blog, and is also my steadfast critic needs to be thanked. Even without disclosing your identity online, I think I’ve made myself only too clear. (You’re probably the only person who’s going to read this anyway! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Slipping the surly bonds of earth. Sunday, October 2, 2011. I could hold a sieve. In the stream of time. A heap of moments. Of lighthearted repartees,. Of conversations without reserve. Of feeling secure and warm;. All picked out from uneventful days,. And let the rest flow away. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This Day in History.
