Things That Bang

How neatly a cat sleeps,
sleeps with its paws and its posture,
sleeps with its wicked claws,
and with its unfeeling blood,
sleeps with all the rings--
a series of burnt circles--
which have formed the odd geology
of its sand-colored tail.
I should like to sleep like a cat,
with all the fur of time,
with a tongue rough as flint
, with the dry sex of fire;
and after speaking to no one,
stretch myself over the world,
over roofs and landscapes,
with a passionate desire
to hunt the rats in my dreams. (Pablo Neruda, "Cat's Dream")

I am currently cut off from the net world since the Bangalore rains fucked up the telephone cables and it will be a while before my life is restored back to normal. I am suffering from withdrawls. Never been much of a TV watcher and how many books can I read? Malls make me puke and my friends are available only during weekends.

Kids are bugged that their mom is getting too hands on and the maid wants me to stop haunting the kitchen. I am so bloody PHU-CKED!!

Apparently your latest post proves that you're no longer netless. ;) Maybe we should do a movie called Netless in E-city on the lines of Sleepless in Seattle.

Okay bad joke. :)

And Welcome back.
