cOmPrOmIsEd DiCtIoNaRy !!!

I was reading a poem the other day and I loved every bit of it until I read some lines which disappointed me and is the sole reason for this post. I am not sure what the author of that poem wanted to convey but what I misinterpreted was something like :-
"A whore does not have a soul".

Anyways I have read and heard this quite a few times before and it has not made me feel any different anytime. I never did and said anything about it except feeling sad for whom we call "whores". This time I actually went on to search the meaning of this word and it didn't make me feel any better when I came across the following meaning. It was:-



whore- "A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain".

I was shocked to see such a meaning. I found it too derogatory as I strongly believe that the ones we call whores deserve a better word or a better meaning for this word. Why not meanings like:-

"A person victimised of hatered who deserves to be loved like any body else".
"A person working against his/her will just to make sure his/her children keep breathing".
"A person who is forcefully made to do things which resulted in the death of her soul".

I actually thought that the given meaning for the word whore should actually be the meaning of the word businessman. But when I searched for the meaning of businessman, as expected, this is what they had to say:-

A person engaged in commercial or industrial business, especially an owner or executive.

To HELL with such a meaning. Don't you all think the meaning of the word whore suits the word businessman much better???
In fact the second thought that came to my mind was that as per the meaning given by the dictionary, the major part of the world consist of whores, cuz at some point in our lives most of us have and are compromising our principles just for our personal gains and hence we don't deserve to be called humans but just fucking "whores" (with dictionary meaning).

I wonder how many such meanings need correction in our dictionaries.......

The other day I had a late dinner and had too much of it. The whole day I was working on projects n stuff. I had not taken a single meal that day (Thank God my parents don't read my blogs!!). Its not that it was for the first time but I was really hungry that night. Anyways there were still few things to do in the project and I had planned a night out in the university along with my real hard working friends. After the dinner I checked for the time. It was 23:20. I had to hurry up real fast to catch the shuttle at 23:35. I packed my bag and ran for the shuttle stop as fast as I could. The snow outside didn't really help. I did not have more than 4-5 minutes to catch the shuttle. I ran on and in the snow and tried my best to keep my feet stable on the slippery road. In between I kept loosing my balance but I didn't stop. From far I could see the shuttle coming from left and going straight away from me towards the stop. Just then I lost my balance completely and I fell flat on the snowy footpath. Damn!! I got up and started running again. Finally the shuttle had halted on the stop and I was about 100 meters away. The shuttle stopped there for more time than usual. PJ, the driver must have seen me running and waited for me. Finally I reached and got in the shuttle.

"Wassup ma man!!" PJ greeted me.
"Not so gud PJ". I replied trying to keep my breath.
"Get urself a seat".
"Yeah, Thanks Pj"
"Back to school?"
"Yup"
Finally I sat on the seat in front and got settled. My friend was already sitting dere.
"What you guys do in the university at this time?" PJ asked.
"We have some project work and have to finish it". I replied.
"Must be really tough staying awake in the night? I wonder how you guys manage it".
"We have to stay awake sometimes in the night PJ. We can't even think about sleeping".
"God Bless ya ma man"
"Yeah, we don't have any other option. We have to get used to it"
"Yeah, you bet me kid"
"Guess It is just the way it is".
My reply had a bit of arrogance in it and I was not prepared for what was coming next. PJ waited for sometime as he must have been pondering over my reply and then he said,
"Yeah you are right. I have been driving this shuttle for T-H-I-R-T-Y F-O-U-R years now and most of the times I do it in the night and I guess I am K-I-N-D-A getting U-S-E-D to it". PJ's killer sarcastic reply slaughtered all the ego and whatever pride I had in me.
There was a moment of silence and then suddenly we all broke out in laughter. A big one. After a long time I had an honest laugh at myself. When we stopped laughing PJ looked out of the window and finished off.
"Yeah ma man...It is just the way it is......"

a RiDe tO rEmEmBeR!!!

Looking out of the window of Punjab Roadways bus moving just a little slower than Boeing 747, I could hardly keep my eyes open. I was travelling back from college to my home place. On the way a bike caught my attention as it was trying to cross the bus. I saw a nice sweet young couple--happily unmarried, with the girl hugging the guy from behind, a little tighter than usual and the guy, with his one hand, massaging her arm n trying to kiss it while driving with the other. They were talking romance with each other, basically what you would call getting-ready-to-make-out intentions. The whole scene made me feel a little more than jealous. At the same time I was happy seeing them enjoying their cozy happy times.

Finally thanks to the power of his Pulsar 180 CC, even with such distractions the guy managed to cross the bus. The bus driver must have been a pervert errrr... observer like me as he was also noticing the whole scene. I could smell the feeling of frustration the bus driver had as he saw the brand new bike crossing his old khtaara bus. Even though he wanted to but he could not press the race pad further since it was already on the verge of getting dismantled. The bike just disappeared in few seconds and it added to his frustrations but I felt better seeing them going away though not before I saw the girl kissing the guy on the neck--that’s love making for you :-p. I had missed seeing everything outside but not this. I threw my head back on the seat and tried ignoring the feeling of jealousy playing with my mind.

Obviously all in vain.

I was about to come out of it all, just then the bus stopped at the signal. I could not imagine my eyes seeing that outside the window. The same bike was down on the ground and under it was the guy. The girl was luckily not hurt and was standing alongside and the guy was struggling trying to lift himself up from under the bike. The bus driver gave them a smirky smile. The girl was simply looking at the guy as if she didn't do anything. Though she was not speaking at all still I could read her mind and it was something like, “Hey I just kissed you. You only were pulling my hand here and there. Stop looking at me like this. It’s not my fault at all".

I broke into a boisterous laughter.

I just could not control it. All the passengers who were once looking the small accident outside started staring at me. It was tough but the fear of getting beaten up by few fat aunties sitting in front of me helped me in controlling my emotions. Luckily the signal turned green, bus started and I managed to get out of attention. The uncoupled couple was still there, guy looking worried for any scratches on his Pulsar 180 CC and the girl in some other direction searching for her own lipsticks and creams that were scattered on the road. Ever seen such soul mates??

The rest of the journey was spent only in arguing with God that it was not my fault!!!!!
