Of Wishes and Waffles

I gave up dreaming for a while
I gave up dreaming for a while

I wish I’d stop thinking too
Stop thinking of times when I’ve done things to sabotage myself
Times I’ve done things which make me unhappy

I wish I’d start worrying again
I wish I had something worth worrying about
Or even someone

I don’t want you to love me
For a person who wants to be loved more than anything in the world
That’s a difficult thing to say
But I really don’t want you to love me

‘What do I smell?’
‘Despair, mortality and paralysing fear’
‘Oh, I thought it was waffles’

Be Alive, now or never
Live now
Cos soon enough
Now
Will be Then
And you’ll start to think
You could have done more
With NOW
If you had done more
THEN

PUDU post!

I think the best way to describe the whole Pondi experience is the meals!
So here we go...
Meal 1

Breakfast at Surya Resort
Pineapple juice       x  3                       Beautifully presented and Yum!
Chicken Sandwich x  3                       No taste whatsoever!
Coke                    x   1                       For Sharu!
Plain Dosa            x   1                       For Me!     




We were  very sweaty, sandy and hungry after fruitless search for a place to stay.
Music: Beautiful Day - U2
                                   'The heart is a bloom,
                                   Shoots up through the sandy ground.
                                   There's no room,
                                   No space to rent in this town.
                                   You're out of luck,
                                   And the reason that you had to care.
                             
                                   It's a beautiful day
                                   The sky falls, and you feel like,
                                   It's a beautiful day.
                                   Don't let it get away
                           
                                  You're on the road,
                                   But you've got no destination
                                  You're in the mud,
                                  In the maze of her imagination
                                  You love this town,
                                  Even if that doesn't ring true
                                  You've been all over, 
                                  and it's been all over you

                                 It was a beautiful day
                                 Don't let it get away,
                                 Beautiful day
                          
                               What you don't have,
                               you don't need it now,
                               What you don't know,
                               you can feel it somehow,
                               It was a beautiful day...


Meal 2
Georgios :)

We overpaid an auto to take us to this quaint little Italian place, which happened to be walking distance from our beautiful boathouse - yes! we did find an amazing place to stay!
'Pizza's all we got', said thr Malasian woman not bothering to shift from her reclining position.

A girl, - she couldn't have been more than 19 - who took our order, seemed rather disappointed to admit her name was Kamini and not something more exotic. I'll give her credit for being able to pronounce the items on the menu.
'We'll have no 14 and 8 with lime soda please' grin!
'The soda just came in, so let's see how long it takes to get cold' chuckle!
Ultimately a good slice o' chocolate mousse and hot chai topped off the amazin' pizzas. smiles!

We sat there for what felt like hours, reading the newspaper and playing soft music.
'Tranquil' is the right word to describe this place.

So I'm here writin...

An emptiness
that is for sure

I don't know who he was or what he would become
I don't know what I want him to grow into
Let's just say nothing
Emptiness captures it
