Jis ki biwi moteee,

Fat clouds circle above a small room in which a girl sits typing away on her antique computer. She wants to watch TV, but her maid has other plans. Lawaris is coming, and there was no way the person who saved up all her Eidi and birthday money to buy that very TV was going to come in between her and the Big B.

Amitabh looks frighteningly decent in drag. Ugly Lehnga though. Plus very hairy stomach.

Normally, this scenario would bother me, mainly because today was my designated ‘lets-actually-do-something' day, and well I can’t really be productive when my maid (lets call her Stalin) is doing her Cleopatra poses on my bed.

But alas, I sit here, quietly, humming oasis to myself, I wouldn’t want the sound of my music to disturb her. I am, do I dare say it, content.

It all started out with a determined mind, but an even more determined friend. I had to sit and do an entire SAT diagnostic today, seeing that I had slacked of during the entire week. It was my punishment of sorts, my own internal set of checks and balances making amends for a weekend dedicated solely to nothing. So here I was, innocently punching numbers into my calculator mid sum and-

*tring tring* (my phone actually has a catchy sex and the city ring tone but I cant be bothered to type the entire thing out)

‘Yes?’ – My attempt at trying to seem busy

‘Oi come outside we are waiting’

‘But.. But... Im working’

‘Work later’

‘Ok’

What great self control, I amaze myself really, Im such a bloody strong willed person.

We went for tea and parathas. The steam from the doodh patti fogged up the windows, till the yellowredpink of the outside were just mere nuances of colour. We sang along to the Killers, and Pink Floyd, and Pearl Jam. We drenched a poor aunty by mistake by landing ourselves into a very deep puddle. We laughed when he made that infamous screw up that he’s made fifty million times before and still hasn’t wisened up to. We made memories and constructed infinite reasons for why this city, with its anal KESC (no light for 12 hours yesterday, TWELVE HOURS) sweltering heat, and ridiculously honryy ball scratching men-is home.

I have no freinds.
This post is biased against lonely people.
I'm going to sue you.
Be ready to incur heavy expenses in a punitive damages settlement.
Emotional distress is what i'm gonna cite as the crime committed against me.
You will rot in poverty.

So much for non-privacy respecting freinds.



Serously?
You're a sweet heart, your existence makes me smile. God bless you.

Phitaymaun said...

The pic is pink because i hate pink and the title of the blog is Phitaymaun and the dude in the pic is giving himself a phitaymaun and so its pink because what the hell is your problem with pink anyway?
And Dp i like you because you manage to exist in a world fraught with pseudo intellectualus and fake, branded teenagers without seeming like either one of them.
For someone so young you are remarkably astute. Not to mentions your gift for writing that is giving NF a run for her money. Not that there is any money involved, we're all whining away a fortune on these damn worthless blogs.
I like you cuz i really don't know what else to do about you.
You're likeable.
Everyone likes you. I'd like to not like you but you give me no reason to practice my inheresnt dislike for other people. So untill you manage to piss me off, i'm sorry but parathas or double roti, thou art liked.

And as for your ugly comment abt the pinkness of my pic, which by the way isn't me at all but Inzi, the color of lurveeeeeeeee is BLACK! Pink is the color of cheap romance. And there ain't a damn thing cheap about my romance or romantic about my cheapness.
So there. WOnder on people, so sayeth the pink captain with his fat hand gracing his face in a disgusted phitaymaun.

discopapaya said...

and to mr sajjad- please dont tell me im giving nf a run for her money, she is like the goddess of all writers.. i am a lowly follower :P and oh one more thing
