brand chemistry, oxygenation and a hell lot of blah

i have been procrastinating on this aspect of my life for too long. right from the day blogging came in to existence to this very nano second i am keying in these words. today on the Malayalam auspicious day of Vishu i have done it finally. why the delay, at least some of you might ask. but before you started with that why, i was faced with a bigger why as to why write a blog at all. aren't we all writing, rewriting and forwarding enough and more in to this wide wide wide medium? then one day i realised it, i have to have a blog. to be with the Jones. to be seen as tech savvy. to be see as free minded. to be seen as creative. to be seen as a writer . to be a better individual. to be a lot of things. but then most important of all, to be truthful to Tom Peters and his 100 ways to help you succeed/ make money. yes, it was Peters who got me this close to blogging. so here i am.

Last night they discovered a human in the sewers, screamed the headline on Daily Vermin Times. Ed Rat paused to scan the headline and sipped his morning tea. He was in charge of the highly successful Human Extermination Programme. He came from the highly acclaimed family of rats that had unleashed Plague on the frail human race centuries ago.

Ed woke with a start from his reverie. There must be something wrong, he thought. My room has shrunk, there are metal bars everywhere. It looks like a cell. I can see my cousins in another cell. They are all playing with something. What's this lump on my hand? What...

Change

Looks like the fog just spared my window to the street. The street lights looked liking smokers in an alley. The cobble stones were wet from the drizzle. The street dogs were busy barking at something. A breeze just unsettled the garbage can's lid. My world hasn't changed much. Everyday I look for some sign of change. Nothing seems to change. I have grown bald. My eyesight has dimmed. My kids have grown. The window pane has gathered dust and dirt. The spiders have evolved. Some old buildings have given way to new ones. The neon signs have gone. Still nothing seem to have changed. Change they say has to come from within. But then, what can come out of an empty narrow dead end?

He was a chameleon in his last life. Somehow he carried his previous life's powers on to his human form. He could imitate anyone across the room in seconds. He could blend in or stand out from a crowd in a jiffy. He really enjoyed his powers. Then he met something called a politician. He suffered a nervous break down that night.
