Compelled to write this blog, due to some unforeseen circumstances. We 4(A-Mat, B-Mat, Kris and I) decided to move to a townhouse some months before. Getting a townhouse in US is not just difficult, it threatens to blow your expenses for the month, sky high. However, the thought of getting some much needed privacy and spending some quality time with yourself, meant that this 3 storey beauty became ours in a short span of time. I guess, the thought of not having to stare at each other's dumb faces day in and day out, was a relishing prospect.
Recently, however, the privacy of my bedroom was invaded by the rootcause of this blog. My friend from college, moved over to hartford on a Friday and grace our place with his august presence. A unanimous decision was taken to shelter this 6 foot giant in the confines of my den. Being the only person to remain out late on a Friday night, meant that I lost my chance to vote, which made the election a farce in my eyes.
6 foot tall, a huge belly and 200 pounds of puppy fat is indeed bad news. Why ?? Because such a creature is sure to create a ruckus in his sleep, by snoring away to glory. One look at his innocent and smiling face and I got the picture. One where I would be tossing and turning on my bed, trying to catch some sleep amidst the ear shattering battle cries from his bed.
I have to admit something. Snoring is not something that is new to me coz I would be too modest if I say that I snore a bit. But the best thing about my snoring is that I don't have to hear it. :-), hehe
So here I am, sitting on my bed and willing myself to sleep amidst the thunder down under my bed, where a gentle giant is threatening to shake the very foundations with his roars. Have resorted to googling for tips to get sleep. My search criterias include - " How to snooze during an Air raid ?? ", "Sleeping amidst mortar shelling" etc..
Ps: I had to abandon the search after around 15 mins. Most of the search results culminated with suggestive remarks on wiping out the "rootcause of the issue" with a concoction of cyanide or rat poison, depending on whichever is nearest.

Hi Mercurian,
U banged again, defeating the so called "writers block"!!!feels gud to hav, glimpses of u'r world as well as mind.
A compliment s a long due. here it goes...Actually U can seriously consider a writing career, once you get bored with the computer s/ms & nerds out der!!style of u'r writing s quite enticing. Not sure whether U can become a "respected writer", but I bet you can become a loved one out der.
Yet another interesting one s abstract projections by suman. Its a bit mre analytical & philosophical.
May Lord keep your memories green forever. Amen
Feel dat I should clarify the words used in my comment: "respected writers " refer to dos like Gorky, Hermen Hesse,Hemingway etc who dwells deeper into life & whose works ring a bell n our soul; where as "loved writers " relate to ppl like Amitav Ghosh, Khalid Hosseini etc whose works are sensible, lucid & ring a bell in our heart.
Ha...So getting a taste of your own medicine. Those google searches would have claimed you long ago if it wasnt thanks to my ipod. Life is beautiful. I still remember being stuck between you and koku. One sounding like Rajdhani express through a tunnel and the other like a 747 with a blown engine.
@ Ash - Thank u thank u..Flattering but will keep that in my mind :-)
@ rijo - Don't be so modest, you do raise the decibel levels to significant levels, while sleeping..
