found this poem on the Alanis website...amazin!!! probably because its 2:40 AM now.... hope it still is as good later.
at some point perhaps we could sit cross legged, facing each other.
(I have not felt this attracted to someone in years)
let's go lie down in your houseboat...
venture in (with god nestled in the green carpet)
say things like "so have you read all these books..."
etc...
you will tell me tragic stories and try to fluff them off as though
everyone has members
of their nuclear family die when they're young...
and you will be so curious about how I handled everything with
such dignity
(we'll debate about whether it was dignity or denial)
I will then ask you the same.
and I may never tell you about the dream I had...
you bought me olivia newton-john posters
and black lights
and I had you all to myself for an hour and I pushed you
up against the wall and kissed you and it was
electrifying

email excerpt
Oi guys!!
man! firstly thanx to nimz..ur C&Hs arrived just in time... what with me reading so much 'serious philosophy'... i needed something to rein in m thoughts...and this was just the thing..i finished the Sunday book.... savin the other book to read between 'Seymour: An introduction' and the next book am gonna read (on Zen).....
okie..first on the agenda... is something which ive already talked over with nimish on one of our booze rounds.... its a simple enuf experiment..
1) take a guy (kari, wait..dont be in a hurry, read the rest of it) who u think u know well..really well....your 'best friend' would be an ideal labrat... (the best thing about this experiment, is that you dont need your friend to be present..in fact its rather important that he/she isnt with you)
2) try to have an imaginary conversation with him/her ( at this point i would like to implore you at this point, to do this entire experiment 'in your head' so as to avoid looking like a lunatic)...
typically, this would work best, when you need to ask your friend for advice or opinion....in my experience, ive been able to emulate 2 of my friends (who is anybody's guess) fairly well.... and the reason i can so confidently say that i was fairly successfull is that i have 'rerun' the conversation with the actual person..and it was 40% - 65% close to what i had in mind.... and this i would say is close enuff considering that various external factors as well as the ever prevalant 'butterfly effect'..
i needed to do this since on of the said 'subjects' is physically away while the other is 'away' for all practical purposes....his brain having degenrated beyond recognition and is now incapable of carrying out a decent conversational thread.
Second on the agenda, for today....is some random ( Hi rahul) thoughts on the need for a 'guru'... anyone interested???
