14^th February 2010

Zuk is spending his V-day lunch at a food court in the city mall

Tingle: What is the difference between “crush” and “love”?

Zuk: Well.. the difference is of taste...and of chronology..

Tingle: Taste ? What is love..hot? spicey? And whats the deal with order?

Zuk: If you crush before you love then its sweet .. but if you love before you crush.. its Eww!!

Tingle: Intense stuff! .hmm.. that was about love and the likes.. now tell me..what about friendship?

Zuk: I don’t believe in friendship..its not real…

Tingle: What..why??

Zuk: Its Tropicana !!! :P :P

Cardio-candy

Once upon a time in history.. I was a peppy teen and in those days.. everything was just a bit more brighter, more colourful, more dreamy... it was then that I wrote is poem on myself.. i was deep down "crushed" then with probably the biggest first crush of my life... and when I read it now.. I cant believe that I could be so corny!!.. but honestly.. its kinda innocently sweet... my non-peotic friends might not understand.. but i still like the last two lines :) Cheers to Mr Valentine for bringing it back to my mind..

I am smiling, though I dont intend to be,
I cant stop staring, even when there is nothing to see,

It feels like popping candy in my heart,
That goes crackling at his thought,
Im excited when there is thrill,
Im excited when there is not!

I declare it open, loud and bare,
No one believes me, but I dont care,

Im dying for a glimpse, I cant wait,
When it jumps in restlessness, my heart feels great,

I dont say it, so no one would know,
But look into my eyes, and its sparkling open show,

I pluck the lilly petals and count them short,
"Crushed I am".. "crushed I am not" !!

:) :) :)

Ribbons, glitter and stares.. He has arrived!!

I am on my way back from Pune.. its early morning, chilly by the window and I am reading.. “Old man and the sea”.. and right at this time.. he arrives.. he rattles me, and wakes me up.

He is a guy who is very ordinary looking, could pass off unnoticed on most occasions. Has uneven hair on his head, deep eyes and a smirk on his forehead. He is brilliant. He thinks he is smarter than most around him..but never condescending. He possesses an impossible combination of wit and humour. He makes jokes that most don’t understand. He thinks, never of the same things that others think of.He has ideas and theories. He loves words. He loves nature. He likes to go his own pace, his own direction, but is not a loner.

He is not too young for intelligent conversation, neither too old to enjoy a swing. It is he himself who knows him best. And then its me.

He is Zuk. He arrived in my head.

You will read more of him under “Zukisms”.. in the form of short conversational stories.. if and when I can story-tell.. keep watching this space. In the meanwhile… Zukisms is being launched on Adita Kandala’s blog to keep up the unconventional spirit of Zuk and his humour. Read the very first "Zukism" here. Its also a part of a bigger plan. You will figure out if you follow.

Enjoy !!
