Being KED

You know, there is this voice in everybody's head which talks to you often.....does it?
I thought, I'll give it a name...KED?
So KED and me and best pals, we talk alot, which gives other people ideas that I'm Schizo...no it actually doesnt....coz nobody knows about KED.

You know how when you get your house painted and after a while the layer of paint starts to fall off? Well, you develop cracks at first....So there was I starting to kinda...peel them off...basically rub away the lose paint off....thats when I had this conversation....with KED!

KED: Hey, what the f*ck are you doing?
(arrogant...isn't he?)
Me: Nothing.....just...
KED: Why the hell are you wasting your time rubbing off paint from the wall? Don't you have better things to do in life?
Me: I do...but this is important....
KED: Well...NEWS FLASH dude...how does this help, kindly explain....or should I say elucidate...
Me: You see, umm...these exposed parts of the wall will remind me that I need to do something about it....and when I do...I'll know where to start!
KED: Interesting....

So What's in a name?

Zed called today, to give me the news that she is getting married...it's funny sometimes when people call you to tell you that they are getting married...

Zed: Hey!
Me: Hi...Wassup? long time no see!
Zed: yeah, I know! So, how've you been?
Me: Oh just been busy with work, there is so much to do nowadays!
Zed:Ok...Now I've called up to give you some exciting news!
Me: Yeah? What...are you getting married or something? (chuckles)
Zed: Yeah!I'm engaged!
Me: .......Wow!..That's great! congratulations!

Now...this part....she'll tell me the the name...what will I say..."umm...sounds nice! I think he'll keep you happy" or.."hmm...sounds like a clown....was he here with his circus group?" or "what....what kind of a name is that? Is he from this planet?"

When you think you've reached somewhere...its just Grant Road!

I know most of you don't even know what this post is all about, but if you live in Mumbai, India, you might just understand a bit or two.
I live in South Mumbai and travel for work to Matunga by the local train. It's a 20 min journey which has a lot of stops. I walk in to the train and take my seat, take out my iPod. I start listening to my music as its the best distraction from the 20 mins it'll take me to reach work....aah the time. Anyways, 3 songs are over, 12 minutes down the like...with my journey....and you'll think I reached somewhere....somewhere closer to work..as the train slows down to stop at a station, I look out of the window to see which station have I reached.....its just Grant Road, which is like the 3rd station! I still have lots more to go before I reach my destination......

Life is like....

Well we all know this phrase...'life is like an ice cream, eat it before it melts'....if you think about it, there can be any comparison....and when I say 'any comparison', I mean it!

Lets try this....

Life is like dried leaves.....enjoy their rustling sound before they fly away!
hmmmm.....

Life is like a bottle of after shave.....make use of it, before it vapourises!
That's infact closest to the original....lets try something else.....

Life is like an economical car....you gotta maintain it properly to get better mileage!
Interesting thought!

Life is like electricity....too much consumption can lead to load shedding (power cuts!)
Bah!, Humbug!

Life is like technology.....you always like the latest version...
Intrigued....

Life is like this blog post.....goes on and on and on.....
Cheers!
