We are like this only

Could have written like a Wordsworth
had the English teacher not been a distraction

Could have left behind a Tom Cruise
had I pumped in a little more iron

Could have strummed like a Hendrix
had I attended my classes a little longer

Could have led like the Mahatma
had personal interests not come in my way

Could have acted like a super star
had my last name been "Khan"

But sadly am none..and jus'
leaving behind someone that
tried it all but got no where;
Cheers to all those under achievers
who create the over achievers

My tryst with...

She was jus inches away from a really personal part of my anatomy. She was looking straight into my eyes and I was looking into hers. I had no idea what she was thinking…but for me this is the first time being in a situation like this. I have read about it, heard about it and even seen it a couple of times; but never been a part of it until today. She was breathing hard. Is this really going to happen, I thought to myself? Expected this moment since the time I moved in as her neighbor…but didn’t expect it to happen this soon. Should I stay still or move away? The latter was hardly an option. There I was standing helplessly with two grocery bags on both my hands with my neighbor’s dog sniffing all over me. And this lady nonchalantly walks towards me…and says with a smile…don’t worry she wont bite. Then why the F*$% do you have a dog. I almost blurted it out, but abreast of the compromising position I was in, I stayed quiet.

All you dog owners…if you are listening…please leash your dogs. Contrary to what you may think, they actually bite. They have been designed to bite…then why wont they. I really have nothing against dogs… if at a distance. In fact I love them…I think about them many a times in my life. Every time my boss goes like…this work is horrible, want this completed by eod…I think to myself…every “dog” has its day. This is not all…whenever I do a self-appraisal of my life, I go like…ya right! It’s a dog’s life.
