kick ass

right when you think life is going on an ok-ish track,a short kick(with spiked football boots which feel like pins) lands up-right on your ass.
what a "kick ass" start to the new year!
nothing much to write,but dude my ass is an ass and was never meant to a pincushion.i can go on with my sad tale of an important body part transforming into something painful...but who the heck is listening?
just one note-there are people with better...umm..assets,better lives...go prick them.at this juncture i'm compelled to induce the age old question-"why me??!".even i deserve to sit on the couch of life comfortably,so why use mine for your pincushion?
and being the super optimist that i am,i end with hope that if i am,after all,life's "chosen one",the pins remain pins and never become the "achhla baash" we Bengalis are so accustomed to.

p.s: an "achhla baash" is a bamboo pole stripped of its green bark.there's no way i can explain the euphemism it holds through a blog.just ask the next Bengali in sight-he/she shall be too happy to help you out.with the explaining part and the giving part,as well.

you are so correct about the entire import of "achhola baansh" being very difficult for non-Bengalis to ascertain. But, its curious why an optimist would hold out her "asset" as a public pin-cushion.

Wishing you a prick-free New Year-2008!

:D

p.s- Why the change in the name of your blog ??? Resolution ?? eh ?

Buckets of rain...lovely. I shall wait for the rains this year. Life is not what it seems. It's vignettes of moments we die to relive. Dun worry about the thorns. Thats what makes the rose beautiful and adventurous. See you soon.
