Dear insanity

After being hammered from inside and out, I set out to cycle back home. The hundred odd bucks I owed to Lausanne Roule came to mind and buried stupid impulses. Burning the hand makes sure one learns the lesson. I set out walking with a lot of frustration and anger at having let it be. A perspective change was needed for the moment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Libido is sometimes hard to explain I say!' opined an aged headmaster. 'That Freud was so obsessed with its contribution to human behavior that he used it to explain everything. What he did not was reason for libido itself.'
'Saar, I'll tell you full story, matinee balcony ticket, weekday leave from office, shady siddeshwara tent, rats under seat, premature... whistles I mean. It is the simple story saar. Hero meet heroine; ding-dong happen; heroine slap hero; hero impressed and bp raise; ding-dong happen again; heroine slap again but stopped by big muscular hands of hero; heroine knees week and girly voice of anger; kaput!'
The lady agreed although headmaster was furious. I was rejoicing with the triumph of fine oratory over intellect. Or so I thought...
'Although you are right,' began the lady 'there is a slight predisposition in your argument to make the whole thing somewhat male chauvanist. It is true that women like it that way and thats exactly why they let it be. Its a way of letting you be the boss when they know who is in control; a designation or a lack of it doesn't hurt them you see.'
'wowowow!! From where you went where maydam! I was talking of picture in siddeshwara tent. Its like that only, once I buy ticket and we go. But don't worry maydam, I keep porki fellows out. They one nuisance they are!'
'Ok maadesha. We will do that but first, where is the tea I asked for? And won't you ask what headmaster ji would like?'
'oooo...sorry maydam! Saar, what you want?'
'hihihi...whatever maydam has!'

A perspective change had happened and I was back to the usual grind. Listen to voices in your head. It helps to!
