Personal Assassin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Killer of all&lt;br /&gt;
My little ninja&lt;br /&gt;
Nestled in a corner&lt;br /&gt;
Along with my shades and gloss&lt;br /&gt;
With a jerk, the headless hunter&lt;br /&gt;
Spilled into my little world&lt;br /&gt;
A dribble and a dash&lt;br /&gt;
The assassin works his way &lt;br /&gt;
To the bottom, destroying &lt;br /&gt;
All in its path.&lt;br /&gt;
My fingers feel numb&lt;br /&gt;
As I search for the trail. &lt;br /&gt;
A quick peek in, and &lt;br /&gt;
I find my efficient partner&lt;br /&gt;
My hand sanitizer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Jungle Beats&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I succumb to the noises&lt;br /&gt;
all around me&lt;br /&gt;
throbbing,drilling&lt;br /&gt;
invading deep into my thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I see the the particles dancing &lt;br /&gt;
I feel them deep,each thrust&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ve known them for a while&lt;br /&gt;
I live in the city.I grew up there&lt;br /&gt;
I know the sounds,the noises&lt;br /&gt;
they are all around,&lt;br /&gt;
close to me,a second skin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I dance to the beat,almost primitive&lt;br /&gt;
flowing red,and alternating black&lt;br /&gt;
each step defies and celebrates&lt;br /&gt;
the steps taken forward-&lt;br /&gt;
no way back,no way to the past&lt;br /&gt;
all is lost.&lt;br /&gt;

Life tires you,when solemn thoughts gather&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Old age reforms and restores ideals&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
The dead weight pulling you down stops mattering&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
reluctant acceptance is the only choice&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
a scream and the final gasp are all that we are left with.&lt;/div&gt;

The result it out...my dreams say WHAADUPPPP!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #666600; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;
Lion&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #003333; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; list-style-type: none;&quot;&gt;
Dreaming of a lion shows you have many obstacles to overcome, and must resist the real force that is driving you to self destruction; if the lion overpowers you, you will lose, but, if win out over the lion you will be the victor. As the lion usually represents different aspects of our own inner nature either as we are, or as we think ourselves to be, then in this light the dream must be correlated by using as many of the symbols you see in your dream and carefully analyzing the different actions of each character.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
well! i think i am satisfied with that analysis for now.I am going to do some serious introspection now..err!maybe after checking out the dream moods site,because it is really interesting.Do check it out ppl.&lt;/div&gt;

I know i&#39;ve not been able to write daily,it must be cuz,i am not getting any sleep lately.I am turning into an ogre because of it.I try to sleep and i end up having these strange and disturbing dreams.Yep! your probably wondering why this is such a big deal..right? Well, people often dream, but you forget them in a day or so and you never dream on a daily basis.Its been two weeks and i have been dreaming consistently(same stuff) and its really CREEPY!!! Nowadays, i watch late night movies till i am totally exhausted and i fall asleep.I have been going crazy trying to find a solution for this problem.I even spoke to my husband and my mother about it.They both had just one simple solution - pray.Now being a Hindu has its benefits.We have over a thousand gods to select from, and over a million mantras and prayers to pick from and chant.Well being the superstitious kind,i did not stop to question them,and so, started my own private ritual of chanting those soul cleansing mantras before bedtime,hoping it would banish those awful dreams&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;had been having.well!!! now&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;am having stranger dreams than ever.I dreamt&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;was living&amp;nbsp;amongst&amp;nbsp;lions and having serious conversations with them...Then i began to wonder,whether all this was because&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;missed my pet cat or something?Guess what! today I&amp;nbsp;found a site which was all about dream analysis..&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;hope it helps me, soon, or&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;am&amp;nbsp;definitely&amp;nbsp;going to go mad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pastiche-mania.blogspot.com/feeds/8268586211321453065/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/2697550670943697542/8268586211321453065' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2697550670943697542/posts/default/8268586211321453065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2697550670943697542/posts/default/8268586211321453065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pastiche-mania.blogspot.com/2010/08/dream-scare.html' title='Dream scare!'/><author><name>Renjitha Reghunath</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16301512259705576008</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvb_w4zlNkxNZMrFMhoX0iGGLfoocIyJLrUyMPZ3dtfgfZqrQDkVkEKX5klVRDVYoRNOwY-IJGihN67Yz0NMgghthCvzDHFwLB91w8PZLX0Bf20ZSqkLk4FNhQ_HptJQ/s220/552187_10151114339980477_1386501737_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697550670943697542.post-5875041887644780474</id><published>2010-08-07T17:28:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2010-08-08T11:54:46.717+05:30</updated><title type='text'>“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”</title><content type='html'>I wonder if life is fair to just &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot;&gt;some people&lt;/span&gt; all the time or to all at &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot;&gt;some point&lt;/span&gt; or the other...&lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_2&quot;&gt;hmm&lt;/span&gt;!

Like a potted plant&lt;br /&gt;
Life emerges secure,&lt;br /&gt;
Taken too seriously, life&lt;br /&gt;
Seems affected,&lt;br /&gt;
Stifling, incapable of rising.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It falls then on one,&lt;br /&gt;
To weed out stray thoughts&lt;br /&gt;
And prune the unformed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lure of life escapes none&lt;br /&gt;
Triviality of which&lt;br /&gt;
Is clear, at thought of firm demise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It falls then on one,&lt;br /&gt;
To move with shifty time&lt;br /&gt;
That erases the stinging pain,&lt;br /&gt;
Mounting, at the felt absence of life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Grounded in values, yet&lt;br /&gt;
Elaborate rites seem&lt;br /&gt;
Tiresome, forcing out, yet again&lt;br /&gt;
Placid memories elapsed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tender years, Monstrous roots,&lt;br /&gt;
Upturns and climaxes&lt;br /&gt;
Shattering the pot,&lt;br /&gt;
Leaving pieces of frailty within grasp.&lt;/div&gt;
