Types of Reading

Recently I developed a crave for reading. I mean I was into reading but few reasons were stopping me from fully getting into it. Well all that is GONE WITH THE WIND.
Anyhow getting back to my “NEW AND IMPROVED” (oaky that’s doesn’t sound right, New and improved??? Anyways is local advertisements can use it why can’t I? That is for you to worry about and me to write J ) HOBBY, I have noticed that there are many types of reading. I will introduce them but must warn you that they are being named as READING TYPE “NUMER”, because if I start giving names for them all of you will want me to name your child J yeah!!!

Reading Type Number I
This is the type of reading where you just skim through the materiel. Nothing goes to your head. Too lazy or unimportant, for you to understand the content.
E.g. Local News papers

Reading Type Number II
More serious reading. You concentrate hard and try to get everything to your head, or you are dead (wow that rhymes, maybe I should write poetry). This type of reading is done during exam season and when you read project proposals. You may not be highly enthusiastic about them but gives prominence, if not you are DOOMED.

Reading Type Number III
Very important and you enjoy reading them. Very enthusiastic and high chance of reading them once again
E.g. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Harry Potter by J.K.Rowling
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurie

Reading Type Number VI
YOU are not reading at all. You are bluffing. The reasons could be
i. To impress someone. E.g. your parents
ii. To avoid someone
iii. To pretend that you are busy
With this type of reading what you just do is just count the number of vowels in the paper and divide them by the total number of letters and the come up with the rate of vowels per each letter. This is quite hard and this portrait you are concentrating REALLY hard on your reading

Reading Type Number V
Improvise reading. You read out aloud with little bit of expression. You use your eyes and facial muscles to improvise the content, so the CORRECT message goes to the reader.

Reading Type Number VI
Little Sister of the Reading Type Number V. Reading stories to kids. You get to read only half way through because you will have to answer the 21 questions from those little “kids”. Then you finally agree on the modern term “I was BORN intelligent and education ruined me”

Reading Type Number VII
Everyone thinks that you are reading “The Constitution of Blah blah blah. But actually you are reading the “Archie comics”. And the people around you wonder “hmmm how come that serious stuff she is reading sounds so funny….”
“Wik-keeeeed”

Reading Type Number VIII
Reading news or a product portfolio in radio. No feelings, just loud.

Reading Type Number IX
Reading billboards on your way to office. You see how the colour fades away each day

Reading Type Number X
Reading number plates. You can add divide subtract or multiply the numbers plates on vehicles. And notice similarity of some of the number plates with phone numbers that you know.

Reading Type Number XI
Reading the fellow MAN kind. It’s not hard to read another human being. But very amusing, the way they say or do something totally different from what THEY REALLY FEEL INSIDE.

Reading Type Number XII
Reading your own self. NO COMMENTS!!!

All’s well that ends well. Currently I am reading 4 books and the all fall in to “Reading Type Number III” and “Reading Type Number II” as I am doing few assignments and my exams are near.(I am not much of a studious person anyways). Reading Type Number IX and X are my favourites.
Let’s see what all this reading will lead me into. Two options either I will have at least the brain or I will end up becoming JANE.

Think out of the box

The original was,
Think out of the box
But all I want to do was
To think the shape of the box
So why not for a change…
Think out of a “ball”?
And go round and round
Think out of a “cone”?
And go round and up
Or think out of “something”?
And have no limits and boundaries
Just think free
Not the shape of the box.

How to say No

No means NO
Do you want more?
And I said NO
Why don’t you want more?
Because I don’t KNOW
Now there is another NO
Do you really think it’s NO
No this is not that NO
It is this KNOW
Well I don’t know about that know
And I know more No
No more know NO
I am just learning how to say NO
And you KNOW

Procrastination – Work life

I sat and I thought
I will finish today
Cuz I was not there
To finish em anyway

I thought and I thought
Argued with myself
“What is important?”
“What should be prioritized?”

Coloured them in red
Those of importance and already late
Coloured them in green
What are good to GO!!!
Yellow, blue and pink
Sure gave the ART a kick
Black purple and maroon
Some colours I used

Today is the day
Yes end to my “pro-cras-tic” work style
Today I will finished them all
And feel high five

It looks so lovely with all colours and shades
I was proud of myself
So I stared and stared
Till my heart content

But alas then I checked the time
Its’ 5 o’clock, yup 5 o’clock
Its time to go, or I will miss the bus

Procrastination! Procrastination!! O Procrastination!!!
What about ending procrastination?

Well at least I thought
To end it today
And I am satisfied
Cuz I will end it ANOTHER DAY!!!

Journey

We pass
The cows the goats the meadows the house the road the sea
We pass so much that nothing is thee
When will the journey end
When are we free
I want to sleep now
So I can be me

Right - Somewhere on the way to Colombo from Kandy

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

Women talk, Men listen
Men talk, omen talk
Problems sorted
Or problems created

Men gives advice, women listen
Women gives advice, men are offended
A situation was created
To understand what we really want

A man loves woman to shut
A woman loves man to open
But when together
They do the opposite, and still are in Love.

Are men really from Mars?
And women from Venus?
Why is its o impossible to understand?
Why am I torched for being who I am?

Who cares where we are from?
As all we do is love each other
I like you and love who you are
And we will live on EARTH forever and more.

Love is…

Love is happiness
Love is sunshine in the morning
Love is moonlight that bounce in the placid lake
Love is joy
Love is mystery
Love is breath of life
Love is pain
Love is heartache when you are away
Love is the breeze that whisper softly in the ear
Love is music
Love is hard
Love is my hero
Love is my weakness
Love is darkness
Love is a long road
Love is good
Love is being bad with you
Love is selfish and blind
Love is giving all you have
Love is sleep
Love is waking in the night and thinking about you
Love is breakfast with a red rose
Love is time
Love is money
Love is a dream that comes true
Love is real
Love is strong
Love is so fragile
Love opens your eye
Love is love
Love is you and me
Forever and most
Love is you and me
You and me is what love is all about

What happens to our dreams? - A note

As children we dream
The impossible things that we dream
They come true in our imagination
We make it happen in our imagination
But when as it about to happen
We grow up and gain an education.
And what does this education tells us?
Stop dreaming start looking at the reality
And this education is something told by someone
But What if we didn’t listen
What was said to us?
We would still be dreaming
And make those dreams come true
Hence we will be happy for ever.

You and you

When you wrap your arms around me
I feel your heart
Your breath that’s warm
You smile I hear
But do you know
What I feel inside?
I feel so happy
So happy that it’s like I am in heaven
My heart beats so fast
Please don’t ask me any more
Cuz I really can’t answer
I am feeling the love
Please let me just feel it.
