There are some times, some moments when you are happy that something happened to you. I remember examples not really worth quoting. In tenth class, we had a story in our English curriculum, by Anita Desai, called 'Games at Twilight'. The language, the imagery, the flow of the story can very well be described only by one word - shady. I shall not discuss about that much. The plot is something like this - a young boy among many other kids, plays hide and seek. In his desire to win, he hides in a rather obscure place, and in course of time, is practically forgotten by the rest of the crowd. There's a small amount of time for which the boy thinks he has won, defeated everyone. He then remembers such times of "private happiness" or "selfish happiness", like one when he ate a whole huge bar of chocolate(think like a kid, and you know what that means!). That's the moment I'm writing about here - the private happiness. My nomenclature is poor, but I can't find a better word, at least for the time being. So, there are times, some moments of private happiness. And the nice thing is, you won't find any of those on this blog! Am I selfish as ever.

Macha, if you're working on improving your rhetorical skills, especially the Anti-climax, I must say you're doing a bloody good job!
"The language, the imagery, the flow of the story can very well be described only by one word " - At this point, I was expecting something like 'Amazing' or 'Phenomenal' or 'Fantastic', but there it is - 'shady'
"So, there are times, some moments of private happiness. And the nice thing is, " - I was getting ready to dive into one of Nai's first public confessions of social/moral/ethical trespassings, and poof! "you won't find any of those on this blog!"
:D
KV-man, it was inadvertent. But I have once made an anti-climax in a story(pathetic by standards here, but for 11th class, it was good). I don't even have a copy of it with me!
And public confession of social/moral/ethical trespassing... You'll have to string me by my toes over flames and hypnotize me to get that done! Although other people's secrets may flow with ease well before that :D !
:)
Spanky,
Talk about anti-climaxes! Your last post is just it. KV should have read it before mine.
Well, will your kind rearness, please caress the climax a bit, by adding post to the site. I mean, it can't come down in such a huge blowdown now, can it?
Thank you, Frame, for reminding me of how CB used to qualify BVSSS - professionally unclear.
