drunk on literature...!



gimme me work..!! im scared my intelligence would get bogged down if i dnt exercise my grey cells..!! and yeah if u laughin at that line its a pity u can't see the finger im holdin,suckers.!!

*alternate career paths flashing before my eyes * :(

ok looks like i've deviated from the topic i had in mind.. in this post i'm gonna share three literary creations tht ve really gripped me... if u guys ve heard abt it or read it before then go do some other work else read on..!

the first one is a four line verse of absolute gibberish..yeah tht's true..if u wondering why gibberish gripped me then u need to hear the way these verses were sung... kavita had it on her cell and played it to us sometime back.. ok picture this.. a small girl in her pink frock who has still not explored the wonders of words n phrases tryin real hard to pronunce words like "smickle-boo-spuckums" .. boy u need to hear it to love it..

Gibberish Something

You're my honey bun, sugarplum, pummy-ummy-umpkin. You're my sweetie pie!
You're my cuppie-cake, gumdrop, smickle-boo-spuckums. You're the apple of my eye!
And i love you so, and i want you to know that i'll always be right here.
And i love to sing theses songs to you because you are so dear.

dunno who wrote this but last heard DJ Rankin did some crazy stuff with it created a superhit (sucker.!!)

the second one is a poem...its witty,whimsical and really really funny in a different way(u'll soon learn why)..! The King's Breakfast,..its amazing how little things from your childhood which are long forgotten and buried in some corner of ur brain can bring a flood of emotions and memories... every time i read this poem i think "fuck am i also this fussy??".. guess i need to ask my mom tht, but a part of me commiserates with the poor king and his simple desire to ve butter with his slice of bread... read on.!!

The King's Breakfast

The King asked
The Queen, and
The Queen asked
The Dairymaid:
"Could we have some butter for
The Royal slice of bread?"
The Queen asked the Dairymaid,
The Dairymaid
Said, "Certainly,
I'll go and tell the cow
Now
Before she goes to bed."

The Dairymaid
She curtsied,
And went and told the Alderney:
"Don't forget the butter for
The Royal slice of bread."

The Alderney said sleepily:
"You'd better tell
His Majesty
That many people nowadays
Like marmalade
Instead."

The Dairymaid
Said "Fancy!"
And went to
Her Majesty.
She curtsied to the Queen, and
She turned a little red:
"Excuse me,
Your Majesty,
For taking of
The liberty,
But marmalade is tasty, if
It's very
Thickly
Spread."

The Queen said
"Oh!"
And went to his Majesty:
"Talking of the butter for
The royal slice of bread,
Many people
Think that
Marmalade
Is nicer.
Would you like to try a little
Marmalade
Instead?"

The King said,
"Bother!"
And then he said,
"Oh, deary me!"
The King sobbed, "Oh, deary me!"
And went back to bed.
"Nobody,"
He whimpered,
"Could call me
A fussy man;
I only want
A little bit
Of butter for
My bread!"

The Queen said,
"There, there!"
And went to
The Dairymaid.
The Dairymaid
Said, "There, there!"
And went to the shed.
The cow said,
"There, there!
I didn't really
Mean it;
Here's milk for his porringer
And butter for his bread."

The queen took the butter
And brought it to
His Majesty.
The King said
"Butter, eh?"
And bounced out of bed.
"Nobody," he said,
As he kissed her

Tenderly,
"Nobody," he said,

As he slid down
The banisters,

"Nobody,

My darling,
Could call me
A fussy man -

BUT
I do like a little bit of butter to my bread!" (amazing in'it..!!)


the third one is something close to my heart..oh no dnt get me wrong its not a romantic,mushy letter written by Mr.Romeo(there is vacancy in that department..), but a book.. The Kite Runner by Khalid Hosseini... man he is so darn cute.! for those of you who havn't had the pleasure of holdin this book and devouring its beautiful content, its an astounding story of a little boy,his perfidy and then his repurchase..Amir the main protagonist is a wealthy Pashtun from Afghanistan who is haunted by the guilt of betraying his childhood friend Hassan..it gives a great insight into the lives of ppl living in this war torn country before and after Taliban came into regime.. everything else u read after reading this book seems bland(i ve read this book 3 times.. every single line and every single page.!). Khalid has the most poetic,mesmerizing writing style that lot of authors lack these days..!can't wait for his next book "A Thousand Splendid Suns"...you the best in the literary world.!!
