OMG!!!! Your Mom Is So Cool...... Nooooo

Doomsday: The day random strangers come up to you and says,"OMG your Mom is , like so cool ". And you're there with an extremely confused expression which screams , 'What did she do now ?'. And it doesn't help that your mom has this weird self-image about being the best in everything and everyone else especially YOU suck and of course apart from your younger demonic sister as well. 

So  yesterday , when my mom came back from her morning gedi ( wallk ) with her nosey parker friends I had an intuition that something was up ....... And what a surprise!!! I was right ( note the sarcasm and the fact that it slightly rhymes ). 

The fact that my mother was in the spotlight was not surprising considering the fact that every two days she is invited by some NGO to one of their events or is buzy with her  presentations at some fashion event or the other. But the reason for which she was in the spotlight was more shocking. 

So mom and the rest of the ladies of our community had taken part in a Save The Sindhwan Canal ( which basically a cleanliness and beautification drive) earlier this year. The thing got huge support from people all over the city and caused much hue and cry. But now  apart from an occasional highlight here and there nobody really gives a dam ( PJO fandom see what I did there ). But the CHL (Country Homes Ladies) West branch is not like the rest of them , no the still organise something or the otherfor the same. 

Coming back to the morning walk. While strolling along the canals bank they spotted a guy throwing trash in their beloved canal. And like  typical strong tempered Punjabi women they went up to him and made him literally poop in his pants. So imagine my surprise when I get to know and trust me this is NOT FICTION. 

So  people whenever you tell me that my mom is über cool trust 'Picture अभी बाकी है मेरे दोस्त ' ( the movie has yet to begin my friend). 

The Fandom Anthem ( Fandoms United )

 Soooo , I just dissected counting stars by one republic cause I feel it can be the perfect anthem for all fandoms. 

Hope you like it!! 

"Counting Stars"

[Chorus:]

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep

( staying up late to know what happens next). 

Dreaming about the things that we could be

( dreaming about being a wizard, demigod or an other magical protagonist of your favourite fandom). 

But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard

Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars

Yeah, we'll be counting stars

( doing the unimaginable in the world of our favourite fandoms). 

[Verse 1:]

I see this life like a swinging vine,

Swing my heart across the line

( forbidden friendships, trusting people/creatures which are usually condemned in their world and forming new relationships). 

In my face is flashing signs,

Seek it out and ye shall find.

( signs of danger flash but instead of shying away the protagonist seeks out the reason behind them). 

Old but I'm not that old               

(all the magical teachers of respective fandoms , look as young as 20 and maybe as old as 20,000 ). 

Young but I'm not that bold.

  ( the insecurity the protagonist feels in the beginning and sometimes before major tasks). 

And I don't think the world is sold

I'm just doing what we're told

And I I I I feel something so right by doing the wrong thing 

(when the wrong authorities try to diminish the hero's spark, but s/he ends up being successful in doing what the authorities say is wrong but in reality is right ).

 

And I I I I feel something so wrong by doing the right thing

( when the antagonist manages to control their actions for a certain while which are correct according to the evil side but wrong for the protagonist). 

I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?

Every thing that kills me makes me feel alive.

( the fact that something bad happens to the fandoms OTP yet they continue reading/ watching hoping for best while going through the worst). 

[Chorus:]

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard

Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars 

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard

Said no more counting dollars, we'll be-we'll be counting stars

Ye-e-yeah

[Verse 2:]

I feel her love

And I feel it burn down this river every time

Hope is our four-letter word

( the only thing that keeps everyone going in the fantasy world), 

make that money watch it burn

Old but, I'm not that old

Young, but I'm not that bold

And I don't think the world is sold

I'm just doing what we're told

And I I I I feel something so wrong by doing the right thing

I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?

Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

[Chorus:]

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard

Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard

Said no more counting dollars, we'll be-we'll be counting stars

Oh, take that money watch it burn,

Sing in the river the lessons I learned 

( when time comes and the protagonist makes his/her own path and does not take the path that is already carved). 

Take that money watch it burn,

Sing in the river the lessons I learned

Take that money watch it burn,

Sing in the river the lessons I learned

Take that money watch it burn,

Sing in the river the lessons I learned
