Effervescent Elephant

I took this pic while commuting to office. It came out pretty well considering the crappy phone camera and the fact that our van was moving.

If only the Pachyderm held his trunk closer, it would have been perfect! :-)



An effervescing elephant
with tiny eyes, and great big trunk
once whispered to the tiny ears
the ears of one inferior
that by next june he'd die, oh yeah!
because the tiger would roam
and the little one said oh my goodness I must stay at home
and everytime I hear a growl
I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
and I'll be really safe you know
The elephant he told me so
And everyone was nervvy, oh yeah!
and the message was spread
to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus
who wollowed in the mud and chewed
his spicy hippoplancton food
and tended to ignore the word
prefering to survey a herd
of stupid water bison, oh yeah!
and the jungle took fright
and ran around for all the day and the night
but all in vain because you see
the tiger came and said to me,
"You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you
I much prefer something to chew
you're all too scant, oh yeah!"
He ate the elephant...

If tomorrow was today, today would be yesterday...

One of my favourite songs by The Beatles. Pressure is in an all time high with stuff piling up left, right, and center. These are the times where you long for a better yesterday than a better tomorrow. If tomorrow was today, today would be yesterday, But I long for my yesterday, Your yesterday, And our yesterday. I hope there is yet another day, Will it be any good like yesterday? P.S: These words are mine, song lyrics is there in the song itself. Trivia: Paul McCartney had a dream in which he heard the tune and he immediately composed the music. He didn't have any lyric and used to sing "Scrambled Eggs" instead of "Yesterday" while composing the song,

A Party...

Just came home after a party. A housewarming party. A horrible experience to say the least. Me and my parents went there just after me and mommy had a very uncomfortable talk. Looks like I have to be really careful... So was not in the best of moods. I usually hate these kind of parties when I have no company. My cousin is out of station so one is crossed of a precariously small list. When we reached there were lot of familiar faces. FIxed up a cheshire cat smile on my face and lit it up any time I saw anybody looking at me. Woman: Do you know me sonny? Me: *cheshire cat* (Who are you?) Woman: Don't know? You *blah blah* Me: *cheshire cat reloaded* (errr, I have no idea what you are talking about) Woman: Still no? Your mother *blah blah* Me: *cheshir cat revolution* (y do u bother?) Woman: Still u didnt get me? Me:NO! ( I really mean No!) Woman: Aha! You got me! Me: *smug smile replaces cheshire cat* (Did I?) Went upstairs...they were making food and the dining area...bad place to...
