The Alien Subbarao
Subbarao sits alone on the old wooden chair, staring at the window all day, in his decades old small house. An extreme introvert, doesn't have friends and doesn't get along with relatives and neighbours.
He has a fixed routine of morning walk, has one idli vada at the Darshini, come back home and water the plants. Prepare lunch for himself and go back to the chair and stare at the window.
His life time wait has finally ended, as the flying saucer lands in front of his house, as Subbarao walks closer to the saucer, his skin sheds and his true form takes over. His planet mates welcome him, as the saucer flies away and disappears in the skies.
Did we grow up too fast?
It feels like yesterday I was going to College with my buddies, having a gala time in the College grounds, life filled with fun and laughter.
Don't know when the niece, nephew, cousin's and friend's children who were just yesterday small infants we loved playing with, the baby giggles, the baby talks are grown men and women.
Don't know when we transformed from our first job trying to prove ourselves, to now deciding on other's future, from 9:00 to 6:00 easy job to a top Management role, responsible for everything in the company.
Don't know when my hairs fell off, don't know when the friends catchup conversation over a Beer, changed from "Fun, Goa Trip planning, Technology, Sports, Figures" to "Retirement plan, investment, health issues".
Don't know when the actresses we use to letch has now wrinkles on their faces, playing mother's role!
70s Model
I think our generation has seen the most transitions, progress, advancement and changes.
We 75-85 born kids have literally seen the world, lifestyle and norms change right in front of us.
From Video cassettes to VCD to OTT.
From Floppy disks to CDs to Pen Drives.
From Sangam, Urvashi theatres to PVR, Cinepolis.
From the dial based landline to Smart Phones.
From that Telephone line Modem making awful noice with 100KBPS to High speed internet.
From huge Computer boxes with bulky monitors to sleek and compact Laptops.
From the Dyanora TV with shutters to Smart TVs.
From DD1,DD2 to Cable TV to OTT.
From Titan steel watches to Smart Watches.
From Yahoo Chats to WhatsApp.
From Cuticura Powder to Axe Deodorant.
From Torino, Gold Spot to Coke, Pepsi.
From Inland Letters to Emails.
From PSUs to MNCs to Start Ups.
From News reading aunties to Opinion spreading Uncles.
From Autograph to Selfies.
We have seen the Pub, Resort culture bloom, Social Media taking over our lives.
All these makes us the most matured generation, as we have experienced and adapted two different worlds. Our previous generations were never part of this transition and they are still stuck in their days. The next generation is already born into the Modernity and they will only see advances not transitions.
3 cheers to us -70s/80s kids!!
The Male Nipple
The evident feminine characteristics including grace, emotional, sensitive, compassionate, empathetic, warmth are all personification of feminity.
Not stereotyping women, but certain qualities defines feminity. Be it the kindness, sweetness, gentleness marks the traits of the women we want to idealize.
We have come across few Men, whom we find funny and call them feminine, and few Women whom we find them to be masculine.
As I explored answer to this question, I found the answer, which is the reason of this prelude that I wrote!
So, when the new life is formed, the initial 4 weeks is just a common templated embryo and Nipples are part of the default template!
As Y chromosomes induces the embryo, the embryo starts developing Male organs. If not, the embryo continues to develop as a Female!!
So, by default all life is formed as a Female!!
That Struggle every morning!
That struggle...that struggle each of us go through every single day of our lives. We fight with our own inner conscious, it's a battle we have to fight on our own and no one to help.
It's a struggle that a school going kid till an adult goes through....waking up in the morning!! I bet lifting a 20 KG weight in the Gym is much easier than lifting those eye lids.
Especially when you had disturbed sleep through out the night, and could only get good sleep early in the morning.
The body clock also is wickedly intelligent. During the daily office/school days, it just does not trigger at all!
But when we have to catch an early morning flight or an early start for a trip, the body clock triggers 15 minutes before the Alarm and we keep staring at the Alarm just to turn it off and wake up!
