Dying man asks his wife: Our 7th son always looked different from the other 6, did he have a different father?
Wife (crying): Yes

Man: Who is it?

Wife: You!!!

Me: :D Lol.

Unleashing the imagination has an influence on us Indians because we are personal about everything. In time we will mature like the Caucasian, who has had more exposure to the Literary world. The creative has to be appreciated for its beauty as a stand alone. Even though we taught detachment to the world in the time of the vedanta, we are ourselves slaves of attachment and opinion.

Me: How right you are Jacob. Your last line is absolutely true, “Even though we taught detachment to the world in the time of the vedanta, we are ourselves slaves of attachment and opinion.” Thank you for that insightful comment (all your comments are by the way!)

And I think the fun of blogging is you can write in your own space, at your own pace, be your own editor …you can write poetry, or rant, or enthrall us with stories, and hilarious anecdotes … :)

Love your blog … and the variety of stuff you post :)

Me: Lol, IHM, I still laugh when I think of it even though its almost a year since I read that blog. And thank you for that “variety of stuff you post” bit! :)

The whole while I read the post I thought this was one of those hibernation posts,then I read the last line and I sure was the gladder for it.
Go,Shail,blog to your heart’s content and make yourself and us laugh more:)

Me: What is a hiibernation post?? One that sends the readers into hibernation?? :P Glad I had you laughing Deeps! ;)

I have been trying to read the entire piece since last night but somehow the page just doesn’t open. Now works faster. Spread those White sheets.

Me: Howlarious?? Now that IS a nice term!! :P That is what I want to say after reading your “Spread those White sheets.” :-) )))))

Me: Gee thanks Rakesh! :D I know I spouted more than 2000 words here. I am thankful that some of you decided to brave it in spite of the sea of words! :P

so true, should confess, that ive so oft felt like going anonymous to pen down some heartfelt emotions and feelings, which to some come across as ‘unimaginable’ or ‘unacceptable’ from ‘grown up women’!!! My foot!!
was good to see you putting them in their places or just shutting them up, with your own dose of ‘powerful’ words!!

Me: “My foot!!” sort of describes it aptly. I mean wth, do they think 40+ don’t have a good memory or that people after a certain age aren’t supposed to have any feelings?? The funniest part is how when older people go ga-ga over childhood no one has anything like to this to ask them, but when you talk of romance, passion, sensuality and the like, then see the reaction!!Lol. Are we supposed to forget/erase a part of our life or do people really think certain feelings die (or have to die) after a pre-determined age?? And who btw decides that age??!! I feel the majority of people are such ‘babies’ still and cannot think objectively, cannot empathize, carry pre-conceived notions in their head which they are unwilling to examine preferring instead to follow blindly whatever has been dinned into them; they are also amazed and are in denial over anything outside their ken.
Thanks for dropping by. :)

Me: OMG Ritu, I am going to kill myself laughing!! :-) )))))))))

It’s not explicit or anything, it’s actually a simple and beautiful story about love. Now women can’t write stories?! Spare me…or rather spare the man who says bullshit like that to me…

Me: Kriti,Welcome. Hehe… I meant it in fun that the readers ‘called me names’ due to the way the story ‘The Girl’ went! The criticism to that story came from the Cryptic Critic. It is my other romantic stories and poems especially that got me the responses I have mentioned like, “‘How do you write about such feelings?? How do you know such feelings??” I am amazed. Why ever not?? I mean are these feelings foreign to me just because I am what the man called a “nice” woman?? What a joke!!!

And when we, my wife and I wanted children, he continued, we spread a white sheet on the ground, knelt and (oh no its NOT what you think) prayed and lo and behold, we had our children.

I guess I came to your blog bout a couple of months back… and its interesting to read your experiences….

but like you said I am going to write to my hearts content…. i ll be a lil more careful with words but I will write, bout what i feel and what i feel is right…

Me: Dhiren, laugh away. Actually, I still laugh thinking about it. I really don’t know who the man is. The blogger hadn’t mentioned.
Ahh you right about what you believe in with passion. I have noticed that. And you write from your heart! :)
