Seven days, seven learnings...

Seven days at the temple city for a seminar on advertising and PR.
Results:
  • Got burnt, fried, and scalded under the unforgiving sun.
  • Walked at least six kilometers everyday surrounded by trees, evil noises, and nothingness.
  • Perfected the 'zombie-like' walk while staring into the never-ending road.
  • Got a tan that made/makes me look like a half-rotten vegetable. (Sigh..you know dark brown in some portions and normal in others)
  • Understood that peacocks are the probably the most ungrateful creatures ever born on the face of earth.
  • Made friends, a few of them, I am sure, for a lifetime.
  • Became conscious of the fact that the time for taking a hard decision had finally come.
    Of course, learnt something on advertising as well :D

“Perfected the 'zombie-like' walk while staring into the never-ending road”

Perfected implies previous attempts and rehearsals;
where were they staged (with the single minded intention of upstaging the zombies – elite and sundry)?
O what wouldn’t I give up to be there as an unseen witness

Ever since, the zombies,
the erstwhile peaceful inhabitants of the temple city,
downcast on seeing a skinny girl practicing what she perceives to be the zombie walk,
are all scampering to the catwalk as a final refuge

my sympathies definitely are with the zombies (also since their road is really never ending)

the wait is killing me - zombies will have to wait for the remains.

"varsha and the zombies" will make a nice name for a pop group
