She was like a bad poem

watering the plants
on the highway
of my soul
in these lonely times
and not that many rhymes
she was like a bad poem
she was like a bad poem
she was like a bad poem
my heart skipping
and my mind skipping
and using identical words
as rhyming words
sunshine was my life
but she was a star
i miss her now
thinking about you
which makes it three people in this poem, technically
feeling the pain
my mind is numbing
am falling about you
there is nobody to pick
the pieces of me
loving this naked sun
and the crumbling earth
and the mooney moon
mooney mooney moon moon moon
lying in this bed
i think of you again
thinking thinking blogging
lonely woods beckon
the treasure at the end
could be you
but i wish you weren't
in a box
come back to me
i'm dying bit by bit
am chained to my fate
birds fly in the forest
of my fate
somebody save me
take me away
the least you could do
is take my net access away

'My attack was not racist': Aussie released

Rodney Stuart, the baseball bat-wielding Aussie goon, now famous for his serial attacks on Indian settlers, was released by the Melbourne State Court yesterday after a valiant five minute testimony.
'How was the attack racist? I didn't target Indians. I roughed up five people in the mall that day and I'm pretty sure there were some Pakis and others too' Rod slurred 'Hell, I see brown skin, I go maaaaaaaaad'
The judge, also vaguely of Indian origin, admitted this plea and said that the attack was unbiased and hence could not be called illegal in the strict sense. He let Rodney off with a stern warning 'Rodney, dude, if I see you near my house, I'll throw you in jail'

Mahim-Mahim Sea link open : Will take you to same place in 20 min flat

Starting today, you will be able to spend an extra 20 minutes on your way to office for no particular reason. MSDRC's unique solution to traffic snarls in Mahim - the 3000 cr, sprawling Mahim-Mahim Sea Link project, is being inaugurated today. The Sea link diverts traffic away from Sawarkar Marg, takes it away on a U-shaped road into the sea and straight back on to Sawarkar Marg. It's mandatory for odd and even numbered vehicles to take this detour on alternate days.
'It was an exhilarating experience', says Vineet, who tried the road this morning,'I re-entered the road from the sea link at 20kmph, skidded straight on and banged into the wall on the opposite side and am in Mahim police station now'. Mahim police have registered 300 such cases in the first 3 hours since the opening.
Urban Studies professor, Dr. Sawant sees this as the first step in the creation of marine suburbs in Mumbai, where travellers stuck in a jam for days together, turn the road into a colony and start living on it. The channa/moongphali vendors and mini-CCD that are already on the sea link tell us that this day is not far.
