The Orange Sweater

I have an orange Sweater, it was brought in a different age, in happier times, but the thing is i love the sweater. it was slightly large for me when i brought it and then one of my friends borrowed it. She is one of the five people on the planet that i will do any thing for, absolutely anything. well she sort of on the heavy side and when she borrowed the sweater it grew even larger for me. but i still wear it the most because it gives me a protected feeling. well one reason was she was very defensive about me, she was always there when i needed some one and hence it keeps reminding me that im cared for, wanted. silly and stupid, may be.
There have been days when i wake up in the morning and wish that the world would turn it self off and go away, never happens, i know, and days where i wish life had a pause button and on those days just picking up the Orange sweater is like a warm hug its been my sole companion on the days when Bangalore seems about ready to bite my head off. is it a very silly feeling? dont know dont care.
:D Deeps miss you babes and stay safe.

OK the Inaugration is over and Bush is out, every one must feel like coming down from a big hangover, right. all that excitement and happiness. now its back to business, there is a new man in the most powerful and recognisable home in the whole world and im sure in private he must be really scared. After all he is human just like you and me and the mess he will have to deal with is a big one. So what happens when tommrow when he is not able to straighten it out and this drags on for another 4 years? most importantly in so many interviews so many americans said that the last eight years were a mess. so i have a question, why did George Bush get a second term? more importantly when he marched into Afganistan, and Iraq and launched Tomahawks at Sudan why didn't some one say some thing?
When The WTC was attacked the people of his country wanted him to do some thing, so he went ahead and did it. Im sure every one involved realised that it wasnt going to be easy, and as i remeber correctly the man in question wanted to follow an isolationist agenda, said America didnt need any one and when 9/11 happened every one said "serves you right".
After the Bombay attacks we all wanted a stronger reaction from the government and howled when we didnt get one, some people i knew bandied about the fact that there were no attacks on US soil after 9/11, but at what cost? and the man who did all that leaves office willified threatened with legal action. So tommrow if and when the Indian leadership went after every suspect with a stick, waded into Pakistan and Bangladesh and may be even Nepal with a big gun, will we want Manmohan Singh tried in court. I dont think Bush deserves the flak he is gettting he was forced into situations by national mandate, the enitre country that is villyfying him now ellected a second time. So Mr Obama all the best of luck to you, i hope you can straighten the mess you inherrited, the entire world is watching with baited breath and to all those booing Bush shame on you.
