Bright sunlight streamed in through the window; the wind made the clothes on the line sway to its rhythm; the cars didn’t make a sound as they passed, as if afraid they might wake up the dead; the people on the streets hunched over their mufflers, for the wind had a distinct chill in it, and hurried as fast as they could; the dogs lay in their kennels and cocked their ears whenever someone passed, but didn’t make a sound; the clouds drifted lazily against an azure sky; the room was well-lit and well-heated, with the heater on full blast; my clothes lay in dirty heaps all over, just as they should; my phone sat by my side, nestled against me, protecting itself from the horrors of the world; my wallet lay open at my feet, the credit cards and the debit cards strewn all over the floor and a dollar bill stuck under one of the feet of the chair; my laptop was sitting on the table, with a screensaver streaming over the half-open screen; my bottle of water lay on its side, with the water trickling out drop by drop through the loosely closed lid, making a puddle by the bed; my pack of cigarettes stared at me through the glass, from inside the bookshelf, where they’d lain for the past twenty-four hours; my wet jeans hung from the door, and made its own puddle; the lampshade in the corner of the room did its best to dry the wet socks adorning it; the clock ticked away the inutes of a perfectly normal day in my life…

First of all, I can’t thank you enough for that wonderful video!! You mentioned my name!! I feel so honored…
And secondly, by the time i become really famous (and that would take a long long time), you’d be a nobel prize winner in literature for your poems!!
Thanks again!

Nikhil's Weblog!
Welcome to MirrorCracked! I really don't know what's wrong with me! I sometimes think that I'm a decent guy, who deserves the good things in life, and at others, I think that I'm this no-good sonofabitch! Sorry for using a heavy pejorative, but that's what I am. I waver in my decisions and am constantly in need of better things. I am not materialistic. I am inherently funny. I have a funny bone longer than my list of abuses I can hurl at someone who pisses me off. I am here to write what I feel is worthy of sharing with the world, and sometimes, you can find a few posts missing; that's because my ever-wavering mind decides that the post is a bit too personal or just crappy.
Have a nice time here, and if some things don't make you laugh, then let me know; I'll think of an alternative! :)
I like beer and food. I party and I am a night owl. On weekends, I can be seen in the prominent night clubs of Bangalore and on weekdays, I can be seen, hung-over, trying to work! If you want to get in touch with me, then shoot me an email and I will be happy to make your acquaintance... Cheers :)
Keep them coming, but original unread pieces please!
