If You Forget Me

if-you-forget-me
I want you to know One thing. You know how this is: If I look, At the crystal moon, at the red branch, of the slow autumn at my window, If I touch, near the fire, The impalpable ash; Or the wrinkled body of the log -  Everything carries me to you, As if everything that exists, Aromas, light, metals, Were little boats, That sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, If little by little you stop loving me, I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly, You forget me, Do not look for me, For I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, The wind of banners, That passes through my life, And you decide, To leave me at the shore, Of the heart where I have roots, Remember! That on that day, At that hour, I shall lift my arms, And my roots will set off, To seek another land. But, If each day, Each hour, You feel that you are destined for me, With implacable sweetness, If each day a flower, Climbs up to your lips to seek me, Ah my love, ah my own, In me all that fire is repeated, In me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, My love feeds on your love, beloved, And as long as you live it will be in your arms, Without leaving mine! - Pablo Neruda

trip

I went jet skiing yesterday. Again. It’s always thrilling to race away on water and only hearing the sound of the air and the water. And the two-stroke engine, and the stench of petrol. And the fear that you’re sitting on top of a fuel tank that can go off if some crazy Baddu runs you in. Wait, that’s not right – if a Baddu runs you in, then the fuel tank will be the last of your worries! :P

The fun part started when the amplifier in my friends car wasn’t working quite right. So.. he slid himself into the trunk to tinker with it. I followed after he couldn’t get it right, but fortunately, the thought of taking a picture didn’t enter his mind. Muahah.

One of my friends had just switched to a GPS-enabled phone, so we used the navigation on that to make our way around Dubai, even though we knew the shorter routes around :P And then we complained when the GPS couldn’t pin-point us to an empty parking slot. AND when it couldn’t tell us the way to the Grand Cineplex inside Ibn-e-Battuta Mall :P Talk about expectations! Oh and on the way back we hit a short patch with a sand storm. It wasn’t as much a sand storm as strands of dust, suspended in the air and slow-dancing with the wind. It was beautiful!

“Where exactly” will the Baddu run you in or run “into” you?

@SAWJ: You get the general idea.

@siras: Ain’t it! It was more funny when it was happening. While in there, he asked me to turn up the volume. Which I did. And then I heard him screaming “Abay aahista karrrrrrr!!” :P

Fashion advice from you? :P
Okay joggers may be a little over the edge, but they work, man. And when we guys go to Dubai, we never know what we’re gonna end up doing, to joggers (or trainer shoes) are the best bet. We also usually take a change of clothes (a tee and pyjamas) and a small towel with us cuz we frequently end up doing water-oriented activities.

You’ve just been awarded a lemonade stand (nature hands you lemons–> you make lemonade, see?) for your good attitude. Keep writing and stay positive :)

Eh, could I have Apple instead for the attitude? :/ Okay that’s just greedy of me!

And well, if you think I’m a positive person, you obviously haven’t been around here for long :P
