The Exchange

Minutes slip. They slide into moments. Moments collide. Seconds spill over. Time reels out of hand.
I gasp for breath.

I don't know why I'm breathing any longer. A part of my soul I have already traded.

Some for your sake, some for yours
Some for his
Some for its
And some for ours.

Was it a good deal?

Don't tell me,
It was rhetorical.

For excuse me!
I'm the one
With no
rhetorical sense.

There are times when non sense makes sense…

Mishree said...

Good. Some things are best when not understood.

Reason no 42536523 why u might like your blog - It's as
easy to pick up and drop a conversation with
strangers as with friends :)- invisible man

@ anon: this conversation just got stranger, stranger :)

@blue shoe:from your writings i deduce that you are an aquarian or a gemini. And what joy beholds either of them to be curiously curious abt curious curiousities.
For isnt it a gemini who wrote this:Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to
speak to me, why should you not speak to me?
And why should I not speak to you?-invisible man :)

@ anon: Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to
speak to me, why should "you" not speak to me?
Your deducing skills are accurate...I daresay, you know me. Do I know you?

No, you dont.(but then, I wonder,does anyone get to really know a gemini or an aquarian)

Neither would I, if it was not for your wonderful blog :)
Wonderful, because through this you made me experience a city I missed during my two years of M.A.
But then no regrets, because I was so mesmerised in my wonderful college in Deonar that I hardly had time to venture out..(And its not my fault that we have to change at two stations to get to Mumbai..is it???)

And regarding the rampant , recondite and rather ridiculous ramblings regarding curiosities,my regrets. I was watching V for vendetta (again...) yesterday. And I would recommend that to you too ,especialy if you are an aquarian :)- Invisible man

V for Vendetta is one of my favorites. Invisible man, we've met in more than passing, i not only deduce,but i'm sure.I wouldn't call the Deonar college wonderful,but it holds the magic of friends, old and new, like you! Virgo?

Aah..Just like I thought,an Aquarian.What joy to know one and what honour to be regarded as a friend by one.For arent you zodiac's friendliest signs. Searching for camraderie even in love, fleeing from the trappings of jealousy and possessivness. and rather unforunately would need someone who can understand this.For the world worships love and its vices, even advocating murder in its name..

So you too enjoy V for Vendetta. J-NY just like E-VY. But I cant offer you a 'V' neither in my name...nor in my sun sign :) and I cant help but smile at the paradox of it all. Asking the sun sign of a man who claims to be invisible.

So you too an alumnus??Interesting. Even though just like Him, I dont play dice and beleive in coincedences, this is becoming a bit too much :)..Anyways just like I tell every alumnus I meet, I would mention to thee
Remember Remember
The 17th of December.. :)- Invisible Man

The 17th of December? Clueless. If you wish to remain invisible, so be it. You know where to reach me in case you change your mind.
