I created a world just in ten minutes.


1. Climb a tree to check if legs are strong.
2. Do not forget to workout.
3. Read the newspaper.
4. Call Mom.
5. Learn ten new words.
6. Return a pending call.
.....
.....

This is my to-do list for the day. I just woke up to read it. It is adjusted in order on priority basis. Thankfully for a very fortunate friend, I decided to declare the first point a joke today. The second point has a negative connotation - so, I decided to ignore it. Third - Anna has started haunting me of late with his towering presence all over the media - so, I decided to relax instead. Fourth - It's prolly really early to shock her - procrastinate (read: old habits die hard).
Fifth - learn ten new words. Yes. Thankfully for people around me, I will be occupied with something. They decided to do all their important work till I learn ten new words. 
I put on my bold framed specs, looked at the mirror to ensure I look serious enough to care about ten new words and sat down at the table with the old never fading from memory, a friend to my memory cells, the good old oxford dictionary.


I flipped over a couple of pages and found a word -  'homologate'.
Homologate is new to me. Homologate -  Homo log -  homo -  gay -  queer pride -  last year we went for queer pride parade - it was a lot of fun - I learned a new slogan which went - 'hindu muslim sikh isai hetero homo bhai bhai' - rmy friend is a homo - what if he sits in ramlila maidan and fasts till gay marriage is legalized in India - will they pass a bill then? - will they care? - why will they not pass a bill? -a bill? - did I oh no! I haven't paid my internet bill - I am screwed. Am I? No. I am not. But my other friend sure is going to be. She is getting married. How will she stop falling for men? She has grown up having numerous crushes. How will she just live with one person and stop exploring other possibilities? How will she settle down with one kind of love just because the society pronounces it right. anyway her wedding is soon. Attending wedding is a fun affair. What will I wear! Should I wear bangles with whatever I wear? Obviously. But weddings. Marriages. Will I ever be forced to marry? Why? Who will force me? My parents won't. But what if I succumb to social pressure. Pressure really is bad for health. My best friend is under huge pressure. Is it right whatever my best friend is doing? Am I advising her right? She should just distract herself and concentrate on food maybe. Food! I will never have pizza. Its flour and cheese and I have grown fat. NEVER. But I need a new pair of specs. It should be different. I will buy the one my friend has. He is trying so hard to convince people and is answering those unwanted questions! Its a pity he has to tell his parents it is not his fault that he is a gay. Being homosexual is a matter of time and choice. Why would people care about who finds peacein what sort of an arrangement, let alone homosexuals people. Homo people. Homo- log. Homolog. sounds familiar. Homolog??? Yes, I remember, Oh no!! HOMOLOGATE!!!!

Yes, the dictionary. Ten new words. I had to learn ten new words. I am not even done with the first. Oh holy shit, ten minutes gone. Like, poof.
