Among my group of friends, there is this pet discussion that inevitably crops up every time we start discussing relationships… Is a marriage just a legal formality for two people to live in together, and more literally (and to the point) – does a marriage give you a free hand at having sex with another person? No questions asked.. no eyebrows raised and more importantly - no judgments made!!!(and my friend says – “Sounds a lot like legalized prostitution… doesn’t it?”)
Now don’t judge ME.. im not taking any sides here. I support marriages and relationships as much as a chicken supports vegetarianism. Im just tryng to give u a point of view.
What sparked the idea was when I recently read this article (delhi times – very reliable source J ) about the concept of contract marriages becoming the rage in Hollywood. Supposedly, a certain couple are going in for a renewal of their marriage contract, which was 3 years long as of last reported. As part of the contract, there were incentives for having babies, monthly spending money, something about adopting some religion and other such jack s**t. (and this is not a stand alone case. It’s really catching on)
In a nutshell – on one hand: 2 ppl MARRY, but one pays the other for their (Ahem…) services…keep him happy and extend his family name – and a little bonus awaits you .. And on another: u have a person who asks for money in exchange of his/ her services…do a good job, bend over backwards to please them and you find your partner digging deeper into their pockets… Everyone is having fun and someone is singing their way to the bank. Sound odd to u? something pops into your mind here? (minus some differences in paperwork)
Now don’t tell me you're saying - But Thats “Hollywood”!! They are different, and it’s not our culture… Wake up…. Human beings descend from Apes. What we do best is APE!!! How long before this become a fad????
Could someone repeat the Wedding Vows again???? Im confused here.......
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, ready to cry ‘Mommy’ and scared shitless?? And worst of all - u don’t even know what you dreamt!!! Come on.. don’t you laugh at me and call me ‘baby’. I’m sure you’ve felt the same some time.
Anyway. Was Googleing “Nightmares” (I like how google is no more a mere website, but a full fledged word – ‘go google this or I googled that’.. ) and I happen to fall upon the following:
“ A nightmare is an unpleasant dream. Nightmares cause strong unpleasant emotional responses from the sleeper, typically fear or horror. The dream may contain situation(s) of danger, discomfort, psychological or physical distress. “
The image attached was also in reference to my “extensive research”. (that’s nothing like the nightmare I had, but then that is Wikipedia.)
But honestly, physical distress??? That’s ALL you can say? I was shitting bricks for God’s sake!! Maybe it did not help that I had just seen The Orphan the night before. (if you have not seen it, I double dare you. See it alone on a big screen and then we will talk. Before that – no comments from you!!! )
So im in the middle of this wonderful slumber, fully aware that I have work in the morning (therefore the delicate a state of mind J ) and although I don’t remember what freaked me out, but I could somehow see myself running from something; full out of body experience types. At this point, I’m completely aware that I’m having a bad dream (or at least I want it to be) and I’m coaxing myself to wake up… to no avail. I try for quite some time, and then a blood curdling scream escapes my throat. Except that I can’t hear it. (Very very melodramatic I must say.) But honestly, an ant could have screamed louder than what I did; but the sound does not leave your damn throat as if someone clicked mute. And when you finally do break out of the frigging experience, it does not help if ur room mate is sitting up in the pitch dark room, staring at the wall as if the ghost from The Grudge is about to come out from there (Yaaaa. He does that very often. Just gets up in his Trance like state, sits for a few moments and than goes back to sleep – and he is in complete denial of his behaviour)
Im told that your dreams are supposed to be a manifestation of the thoughts that have been on your mind all day long. I wonder what I was thinking of – ‘cos monsters and tentacled creatures are definitely not swarming my everyday life. (unless it has some association with my job… hmm…. that’s an angle I had not thought about earlier. Answers a lot of questions!!!). In any case, the next time you see yourself running from shadowed monsters – kick yourself where it hurts the most, and just wake your sorry ass up. No matter how bad it seems, i just cant justify pissing my pants at this age!!!
So i guess i become yet another one of the "blog bug bitten" cases. Ya... third time i caught the virus. lets see how long it lasts this time.
Just in case u dont know me, please dont let my profile pic fool you. i know how to play a guitar as much as a monkey knows Russian!!! (and since i dont really think that makes much sense... i guess you get the picture)
anyway. im going to be here for a while this time (third times a charm...) and hopefully with some regularity. Its going to be a lot about me, me and some more of ME. and on a good day.. some other randome shuff...
And please, no comments on the spelling mistakes (when you find them, which im sure u will). I dont care. i invent them, cos thats the easier way to spell them.
