All funny men have cherished memories of being able to make their mothers laugh.
All grumpy men came to be as a consequence of their mothers melancholy.

Tengo Hambre:Hunger Spoke
Hunger spoke to me in volumes
that silence had not dared of
The silent rumblings grew persistent
while empty pockets professed their nothingness

On his declining readership, he said:
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
and not forgetful.
I hope so.
I'm counting on it.

French Pig
When I was young my father said to me:
"Knowledge is Power....Francis Bacon"
I understood it as "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon".
For more than a decade I wondered over the meaning of the second part and what was the surreal linkage between the two? If I said the quote to someone, "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon" they nodded knowingly. Or someone might say, "Knowledge is power" and I'd finish the quote "France is Bacon" and they wouldn't look at me like I'd said something very odd but thoughtfully agree. I did ask a teacher what did "Knowledge is power, France is bacon" meant and got a full 10 minute explanation of the Knowledge is power bit but nothing on "France is bacon". When I prompted further explanation by saying "France is Bacon?" in a questioning tone I just got a "yes". at 12 I didn't have the confidence to press it further. I just accepted it as something I'd never understand.
It wasn't until years later I saw it written down that the penny dropped.

Sharukh in her dreams
Sharaukh came in my dreams last night, you know...Sharukh Khan
And?
He said Hi
Didn't he ask you to vote for KKR?
Umm...do we get to vote for them?
Why not?
But then this was a dream...wasn't it?
Indeed it was.
