Lost Love ................

A Word unsaid can change your lives …………………………….

I never knew that I would ever think of this incident again in my life . The memories do bring a lot of smiles and pain to my mind .I was in a hangover following a deep trenched love failure ,it was then I met him .He never threw a glance on me . I was just another simple girl for him  .The funniest part of the story or rather the cliché line is he was my ex-boyfriend’s friend. I was rooted in a fancy love world that would never bring colors. He was the one who actually taught me to walk past my dream world and taste the bitter reality of life .

I enjoyed my chats with him which included long hours of intellectual discussions , midnight phone sex ( lol still brings creeps to my skin) ,a few clicks of personal pampering and so on .  I did love him or rather I wanted him to be my life partner  ( this was only in my inner soul).The first time I met him was in a restaurant .We sat opposite to each other ordered a kerala cuisine ,the taste of the food did wake up the hungry beast in me but the very thought of gentle man next to me made me behave like a lady. We looked each other into eyes for long .I broke a piece of bread and fed him ,we shared a beer ( quite unusual in the mallu love scenes).

The first meeting did leave a love mark in my mind ,rest of the contacts was through social media  .Those were the days I enjoyed the most ,every flower had his name printed on it .I used sit alone staring at the roof imagining performing tasks as his wife .I was often caught for laughing alone .This personal joy never lasted long because one day he declared “ You are never the type of girl I could marry “.Tears did roll down my eyes I hid them .I could feel a pricking pain that swept into my heart just like being stiched using a needle without anesthesia .I congratulated myself  for taking the right decision of never telling him my inner feelings for him .My ex-boyfriend was correct when he said your are a specimen and not every man can accept you either you should change or the general concept should change .

Years passed away …………………………………………………………………………………………………………

I had to attend a friend’s wedding so I rang him up and told “ buddy just let me stay at your place I’l be there next Monday “,said all was fine .I was very excited I am seing him after 2 years and I decided I am going to tell him this time that I would like to be his girl ( am I a girl any more I am 23 ).I just called him the day before to know if everything is ok ,he seemed to  be very tensed his voice usally strong and bold was trembling .He told me he was in the middle of a crisis and couldn’t tell me anything now . I hung up the phone and thought what the problem was? …………………………………………

Days passed away I came to know that he was the married the very next day I had planned to visit him . It was a love cum arranged marriage .Ghosh !!!! the first thing I felt was pure jealous to the girl not because he was so great but because he chose her over me .The coming days I used to scan their pictures on facebook and keep reminding me she is just a normal one .nothing special ( Alas all males have smart girlfriends but when it comes to wife they select the timid ones and later regret they did the wrong thing lol specially mallu ones).

Years passed away …………………………………………………………………………………………………………

I called my first boyfriend for a causal talk he said he was fine and all ,then he revealed some thing that shattered me like a glass being hit by stone . “Liya you don’t know how much Rahul loved you he was mad about you ,the very thought of meeting you again and he proposing you and you denying it made him marry Rachel .” ( what the hell is that a reason to get married I thought ) .Later I came to know he also liked me but it was just a communication gap that changed our lives .Anyways all for the grace of God he is a happy married man , and I am a jovial maiden enjoying life ……………….

lucha libre .................

Lucha Libre ………………..Mystery unrevealed

 Sight of two humans punching at each other was shown on the idiot box . I looked sternly at my pre-school going nephew. He defended my glance by a cherry smile and said ; "you like Lucha Libre"? A click through my brain, "What is that"? It definitely sounded like Greek and Latin .Still, like all the typical elderly Indians; I too boggled to accept my ignorance. In a split of a second I shouted back, "I don’t want you to watch all this violence ". His smile faded and he frowned, the same frown I gave when my Grandpa asked me to stop digging the earth in my backyard. I managed to tackle the situation, thanks to Quality Walls and its chocolate cornetto.

 It was then that I came to the point.”Ok now Kevin, tell me why you like all this hitting and beating games"?

  He looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes and told me,"Ramayana has violence and so does Mahabharatha when i read those stories nobody are bothered .Just when I sit to watch a WWF match all the protestors come with pluck cards.[Yes. True this is a lot because we learn a lot from our present day politicians to react late or and  at the wrong occasion ].We had a chat  lasting more than an hour regarding his so call Lucha Libre.

  It was then I came to know that Lucha Libre is a Mexican art form of wrestling. Its history dates back to the 1930s .The father of Lucha Libre was Don Salvadon Luttercroth .He himself was a "luchadore"[Mexican term used to describe a wrestler].Now let us climb into the ring and explore the world of Lucha Libre from its rules and stars to the cultural influences that underlie its spectacle. Some luchadores take their Lucha Libre identify outside the ring, keeping their mask on when in fresh air. The wrestlers in this game wear a mask on and this symbolises their identity. Since the beginning of time, every society’s mythology has included battles between good and evil that determines the future of mankind. (Had to agree to him) .Lucha Libre too have their heroes and villains on the dice. Popular luchadores who represent Aztec warriors , Christian Saints ,who fight for common man are tecnicos.The villans literally used to spit at the dark side of Mexico by depicting the corrupt politicians , crooked police officers .They are called the rudhos (If Indians had a chance in Lucha Libre we could have made an army of it.)

The rules not similar to American wrestling which is more or less a well scripted drama . Lucha Libre accepts four  basic patterns of winning.

Ø  Pinning the opponent to the mat .

Ø  Knocking him out of the ring

Ø  Performing an illegal move and removing and removing an opponent’s mask.

The basic game is divided into different weight classes :

v  Light weight

v  Heavy weight

v  Welter weight

Luchadores are traditionally more agile and perform more aerial maneuvers than professional wrestlers in the U.S. who more often rely on power and hard strikes to subdue their opponents. The difference in styles is due to the independent evolution of the sport in Mexico beginning in the 1930s and the fact that luchadores in the cruiserweight division (peso semicompleto) are often the most popular wrestlers in Mexican lucha libre. Luchadores execute characteristic high flying attacks by using the wrestling ring's ropes to catapult themselves towards their opponents, using intricate combinations in rapid-fire succession, and applying complex submission holds.
