Is My Blog a Matrimonial Ad?

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

From the Mid-Day article on me I earlier wrote about -

Gaurav’s matrimonial-ish introduction reads: Male, 27, sometimes single. Tall, dark, intermittently handsome.

A friend-lover was very amused at the “matrimonial-ish” bit, and, when I dismissed it as mere journalistic excess, pointed out that I have not only fantasized about blog groupies and posted an open invitation to my women readers, but also dated at least two bloggers.

Even with such undeniable evidence against me, I maintain that my blog is not a matrimonial ad.

A dating ad? Well…

Too Good to be True

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

After a year when less was more, because that’s all there was, I almost have a problem of plenty (here, here and here).

And, almost to remind me of the hold she still has on me, she entered my dreams early in the morning:

We sit together on my parents’ bed -

You, my mother and I -

At their house at Patna

And watch ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’ on TV.

Their white Pomeranian bitch sits in your lap

And licks your hand. Dream four.

Also, apropos of nothing, my blog has been on the Wordpress Most Popular Blogs list for the last few days, and climbing.

I understand, of course, that both these situations are too good to be true, that they are tests of some sort, tests of my sanity, that I’ll open my eyes tomorrow morning and realise that it didn’t really happen.
