of toings, poings and flying hippos

There have been reasons in my life
just like everyone elses'
to give up and play dead
and never try again
but then, "where's the fucking fun in that"
and so we smoked.
Just me and us.

it akes a drag to realise what you're really made of
and another to realise what everyone else is

it takes three to see the light
and four to look beyond it

it takes five to come to terms with reality
and six to finally laugh at it

it takes seven to make up your own
and eight to laugh at it again

it takes nine to find out why life is just a game
and ten to always want to play again

If by the 11th you're still standing,
you'll know what 'Toings' are

and how they'll never happen to you by the 12th

you'll learn of flying hippo's by the 13th
and of their awesomeness by the 14th

but what you'll never realise even
by the 15th is nothing feels the same.

and then by the 17th,
you'll see what you were always meant to gain.

There's more than meets the I.



So i've just been told that there already has been a Chaddiman comic in the market for quite some time now. This does not bode well with me.

The bastard, whoever it is has not only stolen my identity, but has managed to give it more meaning than me. Here i'm assuming ofcourse that the bastard is someone i know and have shared the idea with and ofcourse has stolen it, from me.

Super Heroes are awesome.

And it is getting very pissing off in general that every Tomesh, Dinesh and Harish are roaming around shouting out how cool batman is. Back in the day, (yes i said back in the day) it used to be a thing for geeks and nerds to be discussing. I'm not saying that i was as cool as anyone of them, i read my share of super hero comics and i liked them. But that was when no one read them!

No one but them still reads them but that doesn't stop everyone from talking about it. Saala ek picture kya dekh liya, apne aap ko Alan Moore samajh lete hain.

I was in a workshop the other day and a point was made about superheroes being an assets and not brands anymore, which again is true. And it might lead to the comic indutry making a lot more money and encourage people to make more comics and all that, but the process sure is pissing off.

I've noticed recently how much of a happier person i've become over the past few months. I know it contradicts the mood set in the former part of the entry, but it's true. And i'm not entirely sure what the reasons are for it. I've short listed a few

- The lack of woman = the lack of drama = awesomeness
- The bonding with my fellow men, whom i absolutely love and adore.
- Finally giving MY life a 100%
- Finding Music.
- A bit of travel and the prospects of travel.
- The liberty of creative satisfaction (one of the results of which is the following)


Now there's something i don't mind staying connected to all the time.

The Original Chaddiman flies off.
