Quick Sand

From The Movie "The Replacements"

Jimmy McGinty(Gene Hackman): A real man admits his fears. That's what I'm asking you to do here tonight. Fears... lets talk about them.
Clifford Franklin(Orlando Jones): [Clears throat] I'm scared of spiders, Coach.
...
Shane Falco(Keanu Reeves): Quicksand
Clifford Franklin(Orlando Jones): Aw, shit yeah. Quicksand's a scary motha, man. I mean, first of all, it suck you right in, and even if you scream, you get all that muck in your mouth...
...
Shane Falco(Keanu Reeves): You're playing and you think everything is going fine. Then one thing goes wrong. And then another. And another. You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink. Until you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. Like quicksand.

Consequences of Swine Flu

Of all the things that have taken up the most airtime on the news channels recently, swine flu is among the top contenders. The situation is improving now, but was worse in the initial days. I am working in Pune, the supposedly GROUND ZERO of this unwanted traction that we have imported from the west, along with many others. Being in IT industry has its pros and cons, and you sort of learn to live with it. It does not matter if the government is planning a city wide shutdown (like a Hollywood movie, gosh I so much wanted Pune to go into containment), the release dates for project go-live will not shift and neither will the client expectations. Thanks to the Indian cheap labour, we are still un-independent.

Anyways, since swine flu initiated another fashion trend, facial masks, I was worried it would soon takeover the Cap trend of the nasal singer. I never fancied spending my 300 hard earned money on a piece of cloth that had some characters written on it that were supposed to repel the H1N1 virus (still wondering if the H1N1 virus were literate enough and fair enough not to attack an individual wearing N95 mask). But people around me did not share my views and I saw my colleagues with a new type every other day (like I mentioned, it was fast becoming a fashion statement). Now I was enjoying a typical evening after the office hours at my flat when a couple along with their 8 year girl arrived. My landlord is planning to sell the flat I am living in and so I have to entertain the occasional buying party who may be interested. While the parents were exploring the house, their daughter seemed occupied with something. Needless to say, all three were wearing surgical masks.

I was not sure at that time as to why the little girl did not accompany her parents, but she was trying to make a direct eye contact with me. I sensed an unsaid message was trying to get through, and wondered why would she want to say anything to me. Now I am very good at dumb charades, probably a pro-level candidate, but it becomes 10 times tough to guess the answer if the person in front of you is not moving their hands, and the chances further go down exponentially if they happen to wear a mask, hiding a major part of their face. The body language is crippled, and so are your chances of guessing the answer under one minute. The un-official dumb charade round continued for at least 2 to 3 minutes, with me being none the wiser. I sort of got the hints that it had something to do with the nature’s call, but seemed a far fetched idea that a little girl would ask me to go and relieve myself. Finally, when she saw no hope, she said the golden words. “Zip…”, and I was still wondering, where did this word fit into the current context of viewing the flat. It was not until she actually pointed her finger between my legs that I realized that my flyer was open. Damn, it was so embarrassing…

I hate this disease, and I hate the swines who propagated this in the higher mammal…pun intended.

...and we are back

Entangled Innocence is LIVE again.

With a lot of changes and internal discussions as to what to do with this forum, the craving hunger of expressing myself finally got the better of me.

It would encourage me more if you would hit a few more keystrokes to write a comment...and even more if you would keep coming back.

Thank you for visiting...!
