Lies IV
“So, see, the thing is, I don’t really need anyone. Because I’m strong. My mother, she like totally needed men. It was her generation, y’know. I totally empathize. But for me. Nah! I don’t need anyone. Really. I’m independent. And poor things, most of my friends, they have someone. I’m single. The lucky one.”
Sigh!
Sigh!
Knit, X-rays, Brylcreem (RSC Series)
“ How do you pass time?”
“ I knit.”
She handed me the X-rays ruefully smiling.
**
He has been laid up for a while now.(Near fatal accident)
He had slipped.
**
Lately he just angered me. To the point of maddening rage.
**
He was gone now._But the Brylcreem stained pillowcases stayed on as an annoying remainder.

Cigarrette, Kamal Hasan, Baby (From RSC Series)
His breath had the smell of a forgotten ashtray and putrid monsoon. Lighting another cigarette, he continued to talk of becoming the next president of the Kamal Hassan fan club.
Only the promised thousand rupees at the end of the hour that kept the bile down.
“Come baby. Come. Come.” He said picking his teeth.

Manolos, Asparagus, Halwa (From RSC Series)
She was imagining herself with him. Doing the salsa. She even had ‘the dress’ to match her divine red Manolos.
She’ll show them, she resolved as she came back with her lunch. Grilled asparagus.Now if only she could stick to her diet. And not cave in.
“ Beta, some halwa? “, Ma called out!

Cocker Spaniel, Ilaiyaraaja, Sleep (From Ready Steady Charity Series)
She thought she heard something, but the dog never reacted.
There was that noise again; this time something was definitely wrong.
The cocker spaniel continued to sleep. She tried nudging it awake with her toes.
It was then, she noticed the masked intruder.
Funny, instead of her life flashing by, an Ilaiyaraaja tune sprung up!

They sit in a park, watching kids play.
She looks endearingly at him. He looks fascinated, at the children.
Without looking at her, he says, “I want to have a bunch of them, someday.”
Her hand wanders over the flat stomach she took years to attain.
Still looking at him she says, “Yeah. Me too.”

They rented Before Sunrise.
He watches it in bed with her - his girlfriend of three years.
Jesse to Celine, “I know happy couples... but I think they lie to each other”
Movie ends. He waits for his girlfriend to fall asleep.
Gets his mobile phone and texts someone- ‘Wish you were here. Goodnight.’

I was young. You were foolish. Years passing can make such a difference, no?
I look back now, at the me I was and the you you were. Even at the us that could have been. We’re both better off, my dear.
You see, I’ve never known what I wanted. I like it that way.
