pretty much eventful.

I did a ridiculous questionaire last night, and to my horror I got something like “my marriage age is 23”. Are u like freaking kidding me? That’s like in 6mths! Am I supposed to go insane from this minute. Pls.

Anyway, I realised its nearing a year since I last blogged. Time is flying too crazily fast. Ok I keep saying this in every entry and time somehow seems to speed up. Ive been nicely sick the past 2 days, my efforts at getting very much better have been foiled, as I woke up today with a bad nose, and bad throat and a bad stomach. What a lethal combination. I didn’t go for singing class, and as a matter of fact, I felt an ounce of guiltiness when I read the last blog. Esp the bit about how ive been going for singing classes more frequently. Why is it that my nose is always getting blocked, out of the blue? Is it my dad’s genes or because he invisibly passes ME the disease? Or I am just more susceptible to it? I think it’s a combination of factors, I have no clue how long I am supposed to tolerate this.

So yeah, back to the interesting bit about my life. Okay, whats so interesting about it? I ve been doing more outside performances, deepavali, bdays, weddings, ponggal, and also did emceeing. Some politics of singing was at work, people showing some attitude, and taking away my songs, and doing some underground and (overground) activity. You might be wondering what in the world is that? Well, they just shove u pleasing comments and expect u to embrace them almost instantaneously. They say you’re their hero, their star, wadever, and hence they use this as a tool to become your bestest friends. Best friends in this industry is bad. I feel, there should be a clear demarcation of your “rank”, “authority” and duties, from your peers, acquaintaces.

And here comes the funny bit. A boy, erm why I say this, cos he is 23, from the first time he saw me sing, cos he is a singer too, said he likes me. He disclosed me this after spotting me at shows, in which he happened to sing too, after maybe a gd 2-3 mths. He made this revelation in Dec via sms, a few days b4 new year’s day. I didn’t know how to react cos it completely took me off guard. I was thinking, is the cycle starting once again? He openly told me he may never get to be with me, but wanted to be gd frens with me, I said yeah sure why not. And things hit off from there. Nothing much happened till in Mid January, he wanted to pick me up from school, as I was heading towards Little India. He works in a Casket Company, but that particular day he was really free. (It is highly rare for him to shaking leg by the way). So he came, we talked for like 10mins during the ride, and before u knew it, at a traffic junction, he banged the taxi infront of him, lightly. I didn’t even realize it and that must be the joke of the year. The scene was quite nerve wrecking, you know its not everyday u get to witness these things first hand and while you’re uninjured….his number plate came off, his front got scratched and all that but the taxi driver and the taxi suffered nothing. We headed off to grab a quick Burger, but cldnt talk much as he kept getting calls from the taxi driver, the car workshop people, his father, and all .. what an eventful day. I on the other hand felt guilty, that he shld not have picked me up or come over to beach road, and so on. That incident became etched in my memory till today, which is the almost the end of Feb.

Now, we are good friends. A week back, we did an emcee show together. Yes we did have a lot of good chemistry, working with one another. He was relaxed Joe, and I was the fast paced lady at work. Nice combi. He gave me a plastic rose, during a 5min break backstage, and I was quite amused by it. I was observing him here and there,and he was doing his best “bullying” me on stage and passing funny remarks. He kept asking me why I didn’t have a bf, I just didn’t know what to say. A few words forced their way out such as “cant find the one, didn’t have the time….”, which were largely true. The show ended, our Chemistry ended, and I got back, got some gd rest. But our texting continued, he revealed 2 days back that he really liked me, and he didn’t admire me the same way others did. Uh huh. I just said I appreciated that. And he said that was enough for him for now. Agreed.

I definitely don’t wish to or hope to take things to another level, but he can be a nice enough person to have a gd laughter with and feel comfortable with. Yesterday he was nice enough to text me, find out how my day was, and whether Ive taken my medi. Good signs for a gd, close friendship I must say. i am usually the most pessimistic when it comes to relationships, any form or kind. I keep a cool head, mostly, cos no point thinking too much about anything. As for him, i appreciate it and treasure him as my friend. If he has gd intentions and a clean heart, our bond is here to stay.....

My nose is dripping. I feel quite lousy. The whole night I was just lying in bed, awake, and my mind whirring through a thousand thoughts. This is precisely why I hate being sick. Ok I shall just go for an eye shutter before I leave my house at 1015am for tuition.
