Funny old story

old stories are great, and when told by old friends, there can be nothing better.
so i met this old dude from college
a nut case if ever there was one
he ended up in the ISB,
which shocks me to no small extent - what on earth were they thinking!
anyway, he marries this girl from the ISB, an investment banker married to a nut
ok, to do justice, he is no longer a complete nut, but you could say half baked one :)
and so we talk
and he says he s married to Sharu
hmm!!
well
so i tell him u know my gf.sory ex is called that
and well break up story, and well..patch up dude
you look cute and great together
are you mad
go to delhi
go go
why does everyone tell me this
why do i end up teling!

anyway back to the story he was tellin
on the day Bain and co was in campus, he decides was the day the batch should dress up in superman costume - which he made for his section, so he has people dress in blue t's, b slacks and red undies .. OVER the trousers. so bain comes and all they see is a bunch of supermadmen
and bain does the superman trick of flying away .. he he
shit happens

Nowhere for ever

you say we were on a road to nowhere
but i said nowhere was a place
where there was no one but you
so we walked down the road,
and you shouted nowhere nowhere

i said this was perhaps not the place
that nowhere couldnt be a destination
because it was the end
so we walked on, pushing nowhere down we didnt know where
and you shouted nowhere nowhere

i turned around to look
and you we there no more
i was nowhere and there no was no one, not you
so i shouted out, to a silhouette i could just see
walking on, oh what did i see

still walking, that silhoutte turns around and says
i told you so, i told you so
then walk a new road to a new nowhere
walking with a new novelty
indeed nowhere is the destination
So it was a musty huge library that did it this time. no alcohol, no music, no overlooking waiters. just racks of dusty books and fading lights. there was a comfortable reading sofa though. so it took off where the last one stopped. there was no explanation, no stories.
she put it perfectly, it is a search for comfort more than attraction.
but there is the difference you see, attraction has its own attraction.
"when i am with you, i am in a different world" she said, different from the world we are running away from, the world we'd rather be in, the world we should ideally be conquering.
