Starters

Thursday, June 30th, 2005

In a quest to make life a tad bit interesting, something known as a fiction cooks in the mind. The plot hasn’t thickened yet and in order to save you (loyal) readers from monotonity, I shall serve you (mentally) digest-able proportions of the afore-mentioned. Just a note before you start : I’m extremely fascinated by writers who unravel their stories in the present tense. Although I never really had any patience reading them and personally didn’t find the style quite appealing, I’ve decided to give it a shot. I already fear the outcome!

So what if you

Shazzy is suffering from multiple-personality disorder. Here are the characters her loved ones have seen her swiftly transform in to and out of over the course of just two weeks :

Watcher of Cartoon Network and/or E-junior
Baker
Nanny
Chef
Backstage assistant
Babysitter
Supreme Player of PS2
Knower of All
Shopper
Good Friend
Tour Guide
Punching bag
Hairdresser
Composer
Advisor
Bad Friend
Listener
Make-up artist
Career advisor
Mediator

For the moment, she desperately tries to make her escape. A plea. If she is spotted pacing the streets of Abu Dhabi, shooting furtive glances at passers-by and sporting a thinking hat, black leather jacket and shades that remind you of Trinity, be a Good Samaritan and assist her to the nearest Exit. The use of tranquilizers is encouraged.

To sum it all up, Shazzy really liked the Da Vinci Code

Masterpiece

Sunday, June 12th, 2005

Tear drops rolled down her face
Glistening under the moonlight
The moon looked upon her plight
And beemed at her with grimace

The cold wind blowing away her meagre rays of hope
The pouring clouds draining her wishes of strength
The roaring thunder shattering her every dream
It was impossible, she knew she could never cope

“Its too much for me to take”, she mindlessly repeated
In loneliness lay her only consolation
Yet the world was too cruel, even to grant her isolation
She knew where she went wrong, too soon had she retreated

As she felt her eyes well up again
A faint but familiar silhouette appeared
Offered a hand and her mind cleared
The same reassuring smile, the way it all began

As the figure dissolved in the dark
She stood up and didn’t hesitate
After all it was her fate
She would live and smile for the smile’s sake
