VDay Feature: The Recipe For Self Detonation

Statutory Warning: Post contains dark humour. May create illusions of depression in the sensitive kind.

The Recipe:

1. A Valentine's Day evening miles away form your loved ones. (For best results, an evening after an exam when you are too exhausted to study)

2. Sappy love songs in the background. (eg. 'Are you lonesome tonight' by Elvis, an especially potent one)

3. A drink of your choice.

Let it sit for an hour, in the presence of your cellphone.

After an hour:

1. According to statistics, probably no one would have called. So you realize that no one really misses you. (mostly because of the exhaustion). In case you have received a call, start all over again.

2. You drink's over, and you wonder why you haven't got more.

3. You decide to chuck the sappy tunes and switch to Rammstein instead, bringing out your inner anger.

"POW", you explode/implode depending on whether you are an extrovert or an introvert.

Congratulations! You just learned how to self-detonate.

Assumptions for this to happen:

1. People actually call you on your cellphone => you actually have friends and...
2. that friend is your bf/gf. :)

Loving Life said...

I personally believe what you said is real...however u deny it, it's just there and you have to live with it...
Things are not always as they should be...and when they are at times you would not write a blog about it...
That's the beauty of life...you tend to see things when you actually never see them...

I must say, Poli has a unique perception about life and love and how one can add up some color to the former by intelligently blending the latter into it...Life is then said to be in harmony...
