the all-consuming worry

 

#vss365


“Why are you against relationships?”


“To avoid the all-#consuming worry of being taken to the cleaners.”


“Find the one you can trust.”


“That’s not a natural trait of human beings.”


“Find the unnatural one.”


“The good don’t come free.”


“True. Time up. Credit card?”

the forbidden

 

Ok, I admit. 

I was a strait-laced idiot.

Then, love came along.


Rule became: break rules.

That's an aphrodisiac. 

The #forbidden? LOL.


When we said, "Made plans!", 

The haphazard came along.

But, the high remains.

deadfall

 

My mind, the #deadfall,

Breaks the back of love and hope.

All for greater good.

honeymoon with mother-in-law

 

#vss365


Trouble started when I took my #mother-in-law on a honeymoon trip.


She was supposed to go to the west, around the Thar desert, in search of gods.


Those gods had the better idea of packing her off, with us, to Goa.

recurring nightmare

 

"I've this recurring nightmare. I'm unprepared for an exam. I stare blankly at the question paper. Breathless."


"I've noticed that whenever my mother visits, when you forget our anniversary, even when we try to..."


"Didn't Freud say that's part of #falling in love?"

needleinahaystack

 

I got married last Friday. 


Here, those who don’t #gamble on the cliff, use the dating site needleinahaystack dot com.


We must have been the only ones with the following on our bio: ‘Do not believe in love.’


That’s a lot like burning all the hay to find the needle.

on the cliff

 

In Kadalil, weddings take place at #midnight on the day of the New Moon. 


At the 'SueZed' point on the cliff.


In pitch darkness.


The lucky get another's; the unlucky get the chosen; and, those guided by premonition or bad body odour give a shove to remain a free bird.
