What the Brain Thinks

Today I was astonished at what I saw at the society's gate. Usually there are a bunch of stray dogs roaming at the gate. These dogs are looked after by the people working at the construction sites, living in their makeshift houses nearby. Even though these people are struck by financial constraints, they take good care of the strays. These dogs in-turn guard the houses when the workers are not around. A good example, of mutual understanding, one could say. But today among these stray dogs was a well bred, Labrador Retriever. This view just froze my legs. At first I assumed the Labrador had gone astray from his(could also be a her, never checked) owner and these street thugs were bullying him. I even called out to the security guard to shoo away the strays to save the Labrador. The guard replied that the dogs had been playing together from morning. So I just stopped and looked, thinking the guard had cynophobia (fear of dogs) and was lying. But to my wonderment, the dogs w...

I just got down from the bus, and started walking towards home. It always feels so good to go home after a week or two. Thinking about all the delicacies I would be having for dinner tonight. Oh yum, all the fish and the meat prepared by mom. Oh, FUCK! I twisted my ankle in the damn potholed road. Curse the BMC for making such roads filled with potholes. No wait, I find no trace of road here. I guess these municipal authorities don't ever give a damn about these service roads. With a sprained leg, I continued walking towards home. The thoughts of good food, replaced by curses for the contractors and BMC. As I was crossing the road, a rich bugger in his BMW decided to jump the signal. At that speed he would have just run the car over me. But thankfully the pothole came to my rescue. The BMW went BANG! at the road creating a serious dent to it. And with that jerk the rich kid decided to slow down drastically. I crossed the road safely and wondered where I would have bee...

A cold evening, I was walking down the campus of my work-place. Its a beauty campus with great roads (not a smallest pit), trees planted on both the sides with a hedge acting like a divider to the road. One of the best campuses ever that an IT company has. Well, if you haven't been able to guess it, let me help you. Its, Infosys Pune. This place is the perfect blend of green and grey. Every building(development block) is surrounded by nature. The campus has almost maintained the flora and fauna of the place even after hosting 10,000 plus employees in its 13 plus buildings. So, where was I? Oh yeah, I was walking down the campus, when I saw a cat about to cross my path. Seeing that I ran and crossed the path of the cat before It could cross mine. Then I turned back to see, what the cat would do, whether it would turn back and go back few steps or wait for someone to pass. But it did nothing like that. It just continued on its path, not giving a damn about my actions. If a c...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... Royson, a school going kid, was walking down the streets of Mumbai on a planet named, The Earth. He had a bag laden with books and no one to accompany him on an endeavor to reach school. He was thinking what makes him a living being and the school bag he was carrying a non-living object. Wait a second, who am I kidding. If I had thoughts like these while I was going to school I would have been the founder of 'Patanjali Ayurved' and not some tummy-less baba. Okay, so now I have offended some intolerant devotee, who might now look me up on the internet, hunt me down and throw ink at my face. If at all there is some guy like this reading this post and planning to throw ink at me, I would like to give you a lil heads-up. I am a dark guy so ink might not work, u better come with some whitener. Okays, coming back to my post. It was not the kid Royson who had these thoughts, but the Royson typing out this post. A few days ago, I was ...

It is a special day today, cause today the date changes the calendar and not the other way round. If your small little brains couldn't understand it, well let me help you. Today is the first day of the new year. Okay, so what makes this day so special for me? Well, for starters I decided to start working from this day onward. And work for me is to earn some money by doing something fun. Won't you agree to this? So today afternoon, I was sitting and making a checklist of what things I am good at. And for next one hour I was just sitting with a blank piece of paper and a pencil, and a bag of empty chips besides me. This got me to conclude that I am only interested in eating and sleeping, like most adolescents. I then decided to list down what were my hobbies before becoming this clumsy. And to my surprise I had jotted down few points like drawing, reading, playing a..n...d writing. Drawing being one of my favorite pass-times back then, I started with it. ...
