Butt Out






















I am a butt lover. There is nothing like a sexy backside. Call it what you may; arse, butt, bum, booty, rear, tush, derriere, buttock; a hawwt butt is a sight to behold. One can rarely erase such a sight out of one’s mind; be it Jon Bon Jovi’s butt or our very own desi John Abraham’s butt. Be it Jenny on the block; Jennifer Lopes or BeyoncĂ© or Kim Kardashian, the butt has fuelled many fantasies and there is no denying that, that is why the term Bootylicious says it all.

So if you have it insure it and if you don't, start working on it. This article is definitely about kicking arse and kicking ass, sadly it's not about arse licking, spanking and things that a vivid imagination might want to stir up. So don't drift away and stay with me.

Part One - Kick some arse

Every year loads of resolutions are made, like many, I too have made a few promises both to self and others but this year, I don’t want to get richer or thin nor find mister right/wrong, nor stall ageing or make a plan to trot around the globe, this year is about cleaning the closet and making room; a simple plan to make room for myself.

A time comes when there is an uncontrollable rush to get ones butt off the couch and do something; bring in some newness or break a pattern that you maybe stuck in, but overall driven by a dying craving for a different end. This stems from living in a metro, we are slaves to routine and everybody at some point gets suffocated. A point comes when you cannot hear the voice in your head that once egged you on, to try a something new. When one has that feeling of being repulsed by an inability to change, defeated by the same pathetic results or simply stuck in the monotony of everyday; that's the best day of your life.

Deep down we are all roadies and life itself is an endless journey, so static, stagnant, stuck makes us restless. Nobody can be held captive in one place forever, except in ones own mind and that suffering has no match. Like Jack in box, whenever we are pushed too hard, we bounce back harder and stronger. It's not about resolutions, for resolutions are nothing more than the restless Jack/Jill wanting to jump out of the box. It doesn't matter if you make a resolution on New Year’s Eve, birthday, at the start of a new job or relationship, what matters is making that decision, so that the fun can begin.

So if you are stuck in the confines of a place or in the space of your own mind, its time to hit the road. Take up a sport of your choice and kick some butt, starting with your own for the years of self neglect you have put yourself through. Every time you kick your own arse while running or playing a sport, the sexier your butt will get. Life only gives you back what you give to it; love yourself a little bit more and make healthier choices this year.  

Part Two - Kick some ass.


This one is interesting and it’s connected to your arse, this segment is dedicated to all the anal people we cross through life. The space we give toxic people with the hope that they might change/ acclimatize/ adjust or simply grow up as the years go by. We wait for them to cross the ocean for us like we do for them. Wait for them to notice and appreciate the effort we put in with the hope of brightening their day. The sacrifices one makes, forgiveness which is given despite trust being betrayed and other traumas which one goes through daily, yet makes it on time to catch the local train, show up at work, pay the bills and taxes. These people need to be weeded out, for the plant of life to grow bountifully and bear good fruits, leading one to their own happiness and that of others.

The good thing about an ass/mule is that it's stubborn, easily muted in one place for long and irritably loud. Such people are slow to accept correction and stay stubbornly in the same place of degradation for long and is a source of annoyance wherever they go. The sooner one is rid of such people the sooner one can dance in the vacant space they occupied. It's so much better without the braying.

The road is not a lonely place it’s a place where there is space for all, a place that takes one both forward and backward. Choose to let the road take you forward to new places, people and experiences. The good universe is pining to send all things we need to nurture and build ourselves on this journey. Even the toxic people had a reason to come in our lives, they taught us the value of space and the importance of self-respect. Like the Chinese saying goes “ When the student is ready the teacher will arrive”. Life is bursting to bring good things in motion, all we have to do is be open, run along and welcome it.


When I crossed the finish line for a 10 kms run last week, I got a medal to celebrate kicking my arse   (pun intended) and for making the effort to get healthy and back in shape. Similarly, life is waiting to award us with a medal (clutter free, peace of mind) for leaving behind toxic relationships, exploitative people, social parasites; the so called burnt toast at our table. No more choking on the inedible.

This year kick some arse and ass, butt out and create space and pace.

It’s important to know who to catch for a drink with at a bar and who to take home. Lastly, there will always be those cherished few who like light bulbs are always lighting up the path for us, those angels who silently make life worthwhile.

What we are, we are but our choices today will determine the tomorrow coming our way. 

Choose a sport but give games a miss; both playing and being played. Unclutter, travel light.

Start afresh.

Past, it's time to say goodbye







Past, in memories you last,
long, like humming an old song.
You only last,
where you have been cast.
You are so heavy,
and much taxes you levy.
You occupy space,
making the rest scarce.

Past, you cannot stay,
how many times will you and I play.
It's time for you to go,
life is paused, begging to move on.
You were a friend,
yet nothing you can alter or mend.
The door is held open for you,
it's time for you to go through.

Past, this is goodbye,
my wings are open, waiting to fly.
This is our last kiss,
even though treasured, yet one I will not miss.
You are now free,
pause, breathe and forever release me. 
I sense your presence gone,
with a tear and a smile, I welcome dawn.

I Am




I am not the action but the thought,
I am not the flower but the fragrance,
I am not the tear but the pain,
I am not the smile but the joy.


I am not the touch but the passion,
I am not the food but the hunger,
I am not the success but the potential,
I am not the failure but the fatigue.


I am spirit in journey,
I am unmeasurable in measurable,
I am endless in less,
I am the universe in verse.

Little girl without a plan



Little girl without a plan,
for all things she can.

As a blessing she was born,
not a taboo, curse, victim or pawn.

Equal to a man they say,
let's not compete, is her prayer.

In the garden she plays,
making the most of everyday.

Complimenting the other is life,
wonder why we grow up to strife.

Wealth and fortune we amass,
letting the small things slip and pass.

House, car and things we own,
each day to greed we are prone.

Where has the little girl gone,
between yesterday and tomorrow she is torn.

First for love she left greed,
now greed grows like a seed.

Joy of childhood was  clear and spoken,
today things that matter are best unspoken.

The girl without a plan just ran,
without cares of making a plan.

Today she runs in her mind,
here and there, taking sides.

What freedom it used to be,
stretch, yawn and free.

Paint any dream or dance along,
write or simply sing a song.

Without a plan she learnt to live,
today much is against her will.

I seek to meet this girl again,
beautiful she is, yet plain.

As years gone by, she hides inside,
every time life tossed her, side to side.

The little girl will always stay,
open the door, let her out to play.

In the garden free again,
nature alone releases the pain.

Refresh and revived she will be,
to write a new chapter for all to see.

Let's go visit her someday soon,
hopefully catch her chasing the moon.

Lover's stare






I am warning you,
don't  lock eyes you two,
for every time you stare,
desire's intent is to pair.

The eyes are the cause,
for silent sighs and pause,
time prolongs its stay,
each time lovers stare.

This could be a chance,
or simply a fleeting glance,
of passions to be written,
or a drifting moment of two people smitten.

The lovers stare brings together,
but people may choose another,
depends on what you allow it to be,
time spent together or simply lets just see.

Ideas



Ideas are brewed before actions are set,
like every dawn is conceived at sunset.

They fills the head,
thoughts are spread out on the bed.

Soulful ejaculation,
rushing forward without thought or reaction.

They roam in the veins,
without value, merit or gain.

They are free in space,
yet they define their own pace.

Ideas lead to thought,
when pursued or sought.

Thoughts define direction,
here is the start of action.

Action can always be caught,
it depends on the plot.

Only ideas are born free,
for every thought and action we pay a fee.

The journey from sunset to dawn,
is like going from conception to born.

Woman




Silly I can be,
but that does not define me.

Smile I may,
but that does not mean I won't say.

Cry I can,
for loss, pain, struggle and man.

Want is in my thought,
since imagination cannot be caught.

Desire the wicked sire,
I choose to forgive lie and liar.

Ambition; hello crazy,
don't presume looks makes everything easy.

Attention, you mirror reflection,
every flower blossoms with affection.

Words for you I yearn,
I learn and discern.

Family is my soil,
for them I change, adapt and toil.

Love you are my mush,
I stay, I am in no rush.

Strength you are my shield,
behind you miracles I wield.

Many roles I play,
in each I choose to stay.

Deep like the sea,
in my eyes all things you can see.

Born from my own ashes,
at times from wet lashes.

Giggles and giving keeps me going,
in life I keep sowing.

Who am I,
what makes me, me.

I am a maker,
despite being a taker.

The path and the traveler,
the stone and the builder.

I am woman; simply she,
a part of mankind, that's me.
