The DB Day... :)

Drizzling...No wait, its raining ! :(

I beg the 'Auto Waale Bhaiya' to rush... :(

He takes his own sweet time ! X-/

Dont have a coin (metaphorically penny) to my name... :P
7.40pm and Prasad's looms large... :)
The 'Auto Waale Bhaiya' must wait as I rush to the ATM... :P
Distrust in his eyes ! :/
There's a queue at the ATM... :(
For a moment, I wonder if I can cheat him off his fare... ;)
Ofcourse I dont, I borrow from A... :)
7.47pm... :(
Finally, A & I make it... :)
'Delhi Belly' in Caps Helvetica at the corner of the screen... =)
Glorious, hilarious ! :D
Over hyped and straight on ! No holds barred ! :/
Laughed with A...And laughed some more... :D

9.26pm... :(
Show's over... :(
Wonder if the landlord locked the gate ! :/
Frantic calls made...And not received... X-/
Stroll around with A, wishing it was Mumbai... =)
Halt ! Its not Mumbai ! :(
Stroll wroll done with, bargain with another 'Auto Waale Bhaiya'... :P
A comes along...Says to the 'Auto Waale Bhaiya', "Aisi Jagah Chhodna..."
The 'Auto Waale Bhaiya' leers, "Kaisi Jagah...?" :D
A shys away, I say, Bus Stand ! :P
Say our byes... :)
Psychedelic lights and a blurring rain mist... :)
Hyderabad is gorgeous at night... B-)
10.22pm... :]
The 'Auto Waale Bhaiya' charges 180...I'm indifferent... :/
The gate's open...I'm home ! :)
10.25pm... :)

(End of story)

"The Same Rainbow's End..."

...There are days when you wish you were time-zoned in London and New York of the fifties and sixties...Karma-tic reveries with Hippies, Polka Dotted bows on Derby Hats, swooning at the mere mention of Frank Sinatra and living, presumptuously, bohemian chic...

...And you wish you were so pretty that people found it easier to fall in love with you than spell out your name, which by the way, you wish was as charming as 'Holly Golightly' ! And you had a Cat and called the nameless slob 'Cat' and wondered if your Sunday 'Blues' were the frightening 'Mean Reds' ! And well, who wouldn't want the delicious George Peppard, oh well, 'Paul-Baby' for a neighbour ?! You wish you had your hair done in a bun with streaks of wonderful golden peeping through...And you fancy your 'Black Alligator Shoes' and your trips to 'Sing Sing' on Thursdays...And as you strum your guitar at your window, you wish the 'Moon River', your 'Huckleberry Friend' and you were drifting, seeing the world (With such a lot of World to see)...And well, you are a beautiful bundle of neuroses and someone still says to you, 'You're a stylish girl, cant we end this stylishly?' And then, at last, you wish, you had a 'Tiffany's' nearby to be crazy about !

So I happen to watch 'Breakfast At Tiffany's', yet again, for the umpteenth time in my 25-ish life...Sigh !

P.S: Holly Golightly to Paul Varjak: 'Did I tell you how divinely and utterly happy I am?'
