you are saying it too

i wud start off dis blog vd one of my original compositions.i wrote this longtime bak during my school days...


If I could say, I would say out loud
But for the moment, I won't make a sound.
If I could say it, if only you knew,
Whatever I tell you, you'd make it come true.
I know our differences are worlds apart,
And I know this romance will never start.
That doesn't stop me to feel and desire,
To build in my heart, this raging fire.
Surrounded by beings, I won't say a thing,
This silence is music - hear my heart sing!
Sometimes I feel our eyes are talking,
But you pass on by and carry on walking.
If I could say, I would say it to you
But I need to know you are saying it too!

Does that upset you?

* Your husband is dead.. how do you feel? (Elated?)
* Your boyfriend cheated you.. does that upset you? (no not at all.. I wasn’t particularly faithful
myself)
* You were in jail for 3 years.. was it as bad as you thought it would be? (no. surprisingly they
did have food)
* You were shot at.. how did that change you? (I died)
Aaarrghhh.. am I crazy or are these questions as stupid as any question can possibly get! Too bad people don’t respond the way the italics do.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Simi Grewal and her brand of compassion in Rendezvous on Star World at 8:30 every sunday. She wears white all the time.. pray I ask why.. If you are a celebrity and anything even remotely sad has happened to you, our dear Ms Grewal will make it point to talk to you about it, bring you close to tears or even have you sob uncontrollably and innocently ask ’does that make you sad’? DUH!!

The outline
She brings a high profile celebrity.. hardly ever anyone with good GK, but still someone who has made a name for him/herself. Then she smiles and flutters her eyelashes while encouraging the guest to talk about personal details. When she senses a raw nerve she digs deep without seeming to do so. She smiles, holds hands, sympathizes enough to get you to talk about stuff you wouldn’t confide in your own husband.Why she works In a world where nobody cares about the other, she shines like a lone star. The smiling and the sympathizing goes a long way. The guest’s feel like she’s really listening and that she wont spin yarns like any bollywood mag.Why she just sucks She’s a real fake-o. I guess when you’re face to face with a person who seems sympathetic you do tend to pour out all your grief... but to a viewer her fake-ness is clear. She must’ve told at least half the women on her show how they are her ’favourite’. Or how she thinks they are the ’strongest woman’ she has seen. Gee.. I thought ’strongest’ would be a superlative, didn’t know half a dozen people could qualify for it.

There are just two things on her show
#1. A mutual admiration session where she gushes ’you’re wonderful’ and the guest gushes back, ’simi you’re an inspiration’.
#2. A pity party. People don’t have beautiful women sympathizing with them everyday, so they make most use of this ridiculous opportunity to show the world what hell they’ve been through.

Reasons to watch
* You love white.
* The ambience of the show is a welcome change from the garish sets on other talk shows. And I love the little pond she has on her set.
* The people she invites are the best in their fields. And they never seem to refuse an interview with her.
* You want to hear the weirdest Hindi accent ever! (too bad my friends allege mine is similar)

Reasons to skip
* You hate white.
* You hate the incessant head bobbing and smiling that is now Simi’s trademark.
* You have a dog to walk, friends to talk to, parents to look after.. heck if you just have a life!

Verdict
You still need a verdict?Simi dear, you’re old, wear white all the time probably to hide the uncontrollable dandruff.. people don’t like you all that much but pretend to (just like you) . Does that upset you?
