Baby who

1 Minute Stories on Self-Love, Travel & Lifestyle

 

Baby who

 

 

She makes me feel like vacation

I think I don’t remember a moment when I don’t

Then you go & make mistakes… I’ll have what she’s having

But then you realize, It was a CosmoCrappyPolitan

Make better decisions in life, even the small ones… Live the moment

 

Time is all I have, while Time is running out

More times I can count but never

Like Metallica baba used to say “the day that never comes”

Money is no object & useless… unless you use it

Penny short or a Gram shy

Like the thought, while buying sneakers… “How much is too much”?

 

I got a smile & a joke for you good folks… all the freaking time

Cover Story or the Real Story, How do you like it?

For me - Give it straight with No drama!

 

What will you call this one? - She said to the ugly fat guy: Tring Tring (missing you …)

I have my own car but I rather be in your Porsche (aww)

I can say that exact same thing & be called something else (Gold-digger)

I got the Hots for your Car too.

 

This shit is getting real, I mean Vigilante level. You feel me

But then she comes & ruins it by shouting out “Baby”

You don’t call them Vigilantes a Baby in public, Social media had Baby written all over the Gazillion posts she had

She said: you are my morning sun, keeping me warm & shining

its love baby…

Even Heroes have the right to cry

Baby Who?

 

Don’t get me wrong, I can be a Great boyfriend but then it’s a Greater responsibility that one must take when those millions of followers are noticing you as the baby in the background.

Don’t start what you can’t finish

The real question is: Are you ready?

Still lie awake at night

Baby Who?

 

This story is about The outside who becomes the insider

Other worldly, 2 heartbeats away to Baby

Do me a solid & Speak English

Baby Who?

 

I am everything… a People person, taking your breath away, has brown, fries & Masala Potato

sure why not… Some call grown-ups Man child, no prizes for guessing who named that too

It was down the hill for him

But Baby Who?

 

Boxed in is what I like to avoid, idiot proof

I ain’t an expert on the subject…

Its how they say “the Universe rewards the brave”

A question only you can answer

 

But then Perfect imperfections, Feeling all violated

How to Blow off some steam you ask,

I got the solution to all worries & problems in the world.

“Party”

Balle Balle Fries

1 Minute Stories on Self-Love, Travel & Lifestyle

 

Balle Balle Fries

 

 

It was written on the wall “Lets make better mistakes next time“

Easy for you to say, I’ll tell you what I don’t want - Adventure gone wrong

Her Ques: that’s what you afraid of

My Ans: That’s what I want

The thing is they are right, turns out everyone who wants an Adventure must feel the rush however if you don’t then you are disappointed

You will never know till you try, the answer is as clear as day

 

I post on the wall

Some are living through them

Others are dreaming their next

But one thing is for sure that Everyone is j

So you have a Bia

 

I had a thought while taking off from Vietnam “why do girls never buy a drink for the guy?”

Don’t get me wrong

Safe to say, Since i was born or you were 5

Its not like they are bad in love or misers… Nah! Maybe its Ego

Do you have a clue? Well, a girl bought me 1 here so I was surprised

Ask me which part of the world was she from, might speak volumes

I think it is puurfect, haha I am kitten. She had all the right intentions

So you have that Bia

 

Anyhooo, culture & origin of things fascinate me. While Biking across the rice paddies in HoiAn… I thought about it, French influence is not just incredibly spread here, or due to the history of this country but many more. Did you ever know, because of the infamous French taste, it so happens that back in the day, I mean way back at the time of World War I American soldiers in South Belgium as usual “discovered” tasty fried potatoes & again due to the French influence that made them famous which you & I today know it as “French Fries”

So the fun fact is that French Fries are not even French! Trivia you will always remember when you pick a Fry - that simple yet best taste comes from Belgium.

My friend in the North of the Hotspot, land of the Free “Amsterdam” is surrounded by many distractions & enjoying these fast-food delicacies amongst other things

So wash it down with a Bia

 

now that I land in Cambodia, let me give you another piece of information that I just realized is wild

Fun Fact, here Crocodile burgers are more famous than Angkor Wat, these guys have such an appetite for it that these creatures are extinct to the level that you find them only in museums now

Its like Holy Crocodile, what you gonna do with all that tasty meat after making an exotic belt & accessory for you… Not for me I don’t even eat meat anymore

So just have a Bia

 

This story isn’t about me, I am just a character here to Tell

Nor is this story about my culinary skills…

This Story is about Time Travel

make no mistake & grab a Bia

 

Crash course from Suryavarman II & Jayavarman VII

They ruled indigenous Khmers & made the world’s biggest metropolis of ancient times

It was the God City & remains the largest since time itself approx a 1000 years give or take… whos counting

TombRaider & all the best Indiana Jones kind of treasure hunter flix were filmed here

Most interesting fact is that they followed Hinduism & fused it later with Buddhism religious beliefs

Long story short its magnificent, but someone pulled the plug… thought the heavens will fall

the forest & trees popping out like mushrooms from the roofs of the structures, its some kind of beautiful you can only go, see & experience for yourself to know what I mean

These things are larger than life, you can go to the swamp & be mesmerized by the largest lake ever followed by an incredible sunset

Unbelievable life floating on water

So you have a Bia

 

I am sure one of you are gonna say that… all I got from all this is that I am an alcoholic haha

Hell I was on vacation, it can’t be half as good unless you put an all-nighter

Do tell me if I paint a compelling picture… will ya?

 

Hope it tickles your pickle

I sure had the time of my life, if you need one… Hell, take mine

Now I am on a snooze fest, from here on… now its blue skies & butterflies

SOLO ji

1 Minute Stories on Self-Love, Travel & Lifestyle

 

SOLO ji

 

 

Have you tried Pub Crawling… it will be an Epic night you won’t remember

“Only failure is to never try”

Road ahead is uncertain, but the end is clear. The Journey is Gold, perhaps without reasonable doubt

Wouldn’t miss it for the world or maybe I will just Map it

I have a Tell… Travel Story to the Land of the Bia & my fav Coffee

Egg Coffee is that experience you always wanted, credit where credit is due

Maybe I should write a book. I got a name for it too “Why you can’t find a Starbucks here”

Walking into Starbucks & ordering a smoothie, that’s a story for another time

Just can’t shake it

So you go Solo ji

 

I backpacked, I saw, I fell in love

If I stay a few more days

I will live a few more years

 

It is unheard of - you land like a Millionaire while leaving with priceless memories.

You feel more richer coming out than going in

Its like the boulevard of cocktails & hope, you feel so liberated & free

I saw it written in bright Red “Hot singles” haha that was a Food delivery AD

Jaded at the Bangkok airport layover, while I started thinking about all I did,

Bibbity bobbity booo… before I knew it, I was writing for you good folks

back to my day job! I was doing ok yesterday, Great fun today. Don’t worry about tomorrow

I must do this, so that I can do all that…

want more Bang for your Buck

So you go Solo ji

 

This spot is wining hearts, Stepped into the Pulsating Hanoi, cycling myself through the enchanting Hoi An… Hoppin around the charming DaNang & Hue

My last leg out from the Bustling Ho Chi Minh or what we love to call SaiGon

All the way to the Ancient God City of Cambodia

Lets get this party started, Taking the road less travelled, moving my way South I met many people… bunch of Americans, Australians, French & loads from the UK… no prizes for guessing why. Interestingly a few from South Korea for many reasons that one can find when you dig into the past Mmhmmm

Met many backpackers, over friendlies, travel junkies, saw smokin balloons, its v hush hush

Vietnamese love the Dragon; I know where GOT got its inspiration from.

Treat to the eyes

Vacation to the mind

Rejuvenating to the body

Exotic me in the foreign land, taught a girl how to skateboard. You meet so many new people from different cultures & walks of life, nice as well as warm locals. Really friendly people

Neighbors, passerby, everyone must dance to the music even if they don’t want. Super fun

Everyone loves my beard, coz they got none haha

You think you’ve seen it all, but then you visit BaNa Hill. Boy oh boy you are stunned

Taking the cable car… damn that was fast from 30 degrees to 15 degrees in a few minutes. Take off from the Tropical Island & land on a True European Hilltop

Best Top Dollars I ever spent, for the lack of better words Amazed & Mesmerized

Anyhoo the S shaped coastal country along with Siem Reap was out of this world but still on planet Earth

 

Set out as an Explorer, not as much as the first, but definitely more to come in the last

while the guys driving Grab are selling everything but a ride, its one thing to ride, well let’s just say they got it all wrong

Not a big fan of air Jordan anymore, do you still have to ask me why

This place is a ubiquitous copy of everything

 

Planning this trip just happened when I was listening to Van Helen scream “you really got me”

I will take it how it meant & not how it sounded

just can’t shake it

So you go Solo ji

 

Its Epic to Backpack the Exotic lands of South East Asia… Solo travel in this part of the world is like - Things I never saw with people I never meet

There are 3 kind of backpackers – those who never go home, those who have 1 Month visa but can’t get enough & those who just have no clue what’s next

Sometimes on a journey all you need are helpful people & wifi

 

I made a Danish Pal, who had Flag tattoos of all the countries he ever visited, these Flags were everywhere, I mean right from his arm that go all the way… all the way… all the way to his ass… well that’s what he told me Duuu

I tell them what they want to here & so that’s how it goes - you know there’s a saying in Denmark

“When it rains on the Priest

it drips on the choirboys”

just can’t shake it

So you go Solo ji

 

We can’t handle the truth so either we accept only the good stuff & are living in a bubble

Or we find an escape, for most it is a getaway…

Almost always, Now & forever - The only way I Travel

“Solo ji”

 

Passive relationships, Toodle oo

Thanks for the laughs

Bon Voyage

Slo-Mo in the Fastlane

1 Minute Stories on Self-Love, Travel & Lifestyle

 

Slo-Mo in the Fastlane

 

Namaste Ji

 

My life is like a song, listening to the Mariachi at sunsets… Its always 7 PM happy hours somewhere

 

With a whole lot of devil in me

I thought I will never breath a word of this ever,

while I will never say a word of this to anyone

but you can read as I write away

Try this on for size

The clock strikes 1

All dressed at a wedding party, in the last 5 seconds got 10 proposals for marriage

It was like the six degrees of separation

Aunties had so much ammo that they were locked, loaded & ready to fire

I knew right then that this will be an all nighter

You see a familiar face… but here it was different, not just aunties know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy

Nah they just knew everyone, they owned the laws of connection

 

My narrative or yours

Lets call it a Gulabi after party

So it goes something like this… she said & she said…

I don’t want to be your last option,

I want to be your first choice

I was like what? She said: WRT spending time

 

& According to Aunty, this was the Match made in Heaven

But then She said: those 3 words & left the building

“Get a Life”

                            

The sad one said: I am on Borrowed Time

The New Rich is Quality of Time, while Time is everything,

“You can fix anything even your heart only if you give it time”

 

That was Heavy Man!

 

Pace yourself because we have more…

Walk into the Dead of the Night

Faster than the Speed of the Night

 

The most valuable thing today is time

What you make of it is yours… they are experiences

How you live is of more importance than how you spend

 

Today is Fast

Slow things down

Have pit-stops on the Journey to smell the roses

You don’t need to always be on the Fastlane

Take a break or a U turn or just get off to enjoy the ride called Life

Anyhooo you do you

Don’t get lost use the Map

Overrated Mix Tape

1 Minute Stories on Self-Love, Travel & Lifestyle

 

Overrated Mix Tape

 

Howdy 90s Kids,

 

After 3 decades, you think you have seen it all…

But then you read this story & realised it, in the last 2 summers, 5 hoping cities, multiple relationships & the hangover that came the following morning from the 8 drinks he had last night

 

I recently heard if you sit in the question long enough, the answer finds you

i had an epiphany

i wake up again

i find a reason again

i find a purpose again

i fall in love with something again

just to find Hope again

 

Sitting with a Mug of Joe, Rooms in My Memory Palace opening up

Whatever it left me with, ain ’t Religion or Revenge, it left me with more

the harder I squeeze the more I remember

I miss the surprises both ways, like ringing the bell unannounced, but privacy overtook fun

Now Tagged “invading of Privacy” even your girlfriend will not like it duuu

Also called Almost polite,

 

we have apps to tell us when to scratch our ass, like seriously

you do you

 

This story ain’ t about history nor is this story about Trends or the Theme of things

This one is about the Comics that came alive however no Person of interest

 

Perception is Reality,

I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who learnt about colours, while Superheroes have the worst taste in Fashion

For starters they wear underwear on the outside! Bravo

Matlab Why? Who was the guy that started this trend that we just can’t leave behind… didn’t anyone stop em or yell “SuperMan, bitch you got it all wrong”

“Fashion Gone Wrong” No Genius to Guess & you kids thought these so called Superheroes figured it all out…

No Prize to dress up or wear hideous capes, look at the shape of things

You did a lot of things but not that, so stop trying!

are you ready? Ans: as I’ll ever be!

While I learnt v late in my life about stretching & the benefits like “no head-aches”

batshit crazy

 

Be afraid be v afraid to pick or get influenced by Super-Heroes, besides the bad sense of Fashion was least of the worries – this squad is not just bunch of vigilantes, these Heroes are breaking law & the entire city down. Watch Avengers! No doubt they were backed by Uncle Sam

Far Out!

 

Make no Mistakes, Spitters are Quitters & you don’t strike me as a Quitter

All sorrow can be borne if you put them in a story, Ohhh the After Math

 

what can I do for you good folks?

You look like bad news, I gotta have you

& if I move forward, if I am anything I am Crazy

 

With half a tank & an empty heart drive into the bewildered Vanila Life

 

So go on ask that question you had to

You wanna go out? Ans: Yes

Socials ne Bola

1 Minute Stories on Self-Love, Travel & Lifestyle

 

 

 

Socials ne Bola

 

 

Calm as a Bomb! Bring me Great Coffee & I’ll be yours

Tell me something new… something I don’t know

I was on a Snooze Fest when it hit me on a lazy Sunday sundown what I must tell

I have unparallel understanding about this stuff,

Not in a 100 years you can guess where this is going

I am gonna Gaslight the shit out of you folks & then some

There is a categorization that I live by… firstly, like most I have long lost friends, then I have acquaintances, & last but not the least I have all you good people, who have time to read my page… it fits the bill

But what do you have? Mostly, you kids have friends who are always connected, duuuh on social handles, if memory serves… he said this is my Design

Join the Bandwagon, kyoki Socials ne Bola

 

Let me break it down for you

You think you have friends, but they are influencers & that’s why you follow

 

But this story isn’t about friends neither is this story about your bad decisions

This story is about the Socials & what they tell you to do or buy or wear or stick to your whatever

The fun fact is, these influencers who you call friends or think they are your friends are doing nothing but selling something which they wouldn’t even buy themselves in the first place, not because they get them for free but because they just make money off endorsements

 

While the Sick Sneakers worth 100,000 bucks still visit me in my dreams

While the nightmare that followed me out of my dreams

& The Co Sneaker Head gets accused of running Huge Air Jordan Ponzi scheme

You can argue if they are even real, haha not the poses from behind but the things they so generously promote… we are talking fake selling by these so-called celebs

Whats hip whats not, the Love Language

Kyo ki Socials ne Bola

 

Ok let me unpack this story slowly, only because you didn’t see it coming, did you have it coming

I love the concept of a club which we create, there is this thing where you just have to have what she has or everyone is doing… trends are set by influential people, they can bring back their childhood fashion only because they can period it’s a RetroFuturistic thing… I will talk about it later

A few start making a fool of the world by selling garbage & you follow

So they tell you what to do

kyo ki Socials ne Bola

 

We go to any length to believe that we must have what everyone else is wearing or buying

You can call it FOMO or denial, but we tell ourselves I want this & I want this because…

Socials ne Bola

 

When you fire up those apps… then Socials got a mind of its own

Over his head, Mood, taking milage whatever comes to the mind.

Like you don’t have a mind of your own, can’t say that I know

Looking at her roll was like Christmas, in a Royce duuu

If it is expensive it doesn’t mean its good, shout out to the LV club

 

When Socials ne Bola then no Galaxy too Far, No Ocean too Long, No sea too Deep

Honey, Let me take you to the Moon!

These Socials are too damn cute, I wanna punch em in the face… too bad I can’t

No one will know the truth you are willing to admit

Until Socials ne Bola

A Sight for Sore eyes

 

Lets Go

Ans: No, sounded like a Ques

 

Power down mode ON

Laters

Sneaker Head

1 Minute Stories on Self-Love, Travel & Lifestyle

 

 

 

Sneaker Head

 

 

Veni, vidi, vici (i came, i saw, i conquered) 

Words to the unwise! Usually, you find the coffee you find me,

but never forget to share arjunthestoryteller.blogspot.com with your friends

What you can’t say, is easier to write! It is yours; it is a True version of, yourself & so I publish it

 

Weekdays FortuneTeller, Part-Time StoryTeller & a Full-Time Sneaker Head is Me Me Me

 

Maybe you know more than I do about this one. My guess could be as good as yours, but many facts ahead… so here goes nothing

Legend has it that when you slap the word “AIR” on anything, I mean anything at all, then it appreciates the Value of that very thing… it significantly improves the worth of everything period

 

Catch! Shoot! Score!

He Yells “I still got it”

& I thought I was losing my touch in the first 5

 

Words can’t describe it, he is poetry in motion

The Most Celebrated person since 1984, he entered the big leagues… The young Alpha, with fire in his belly & rest is history

He is the 5 times MVP, 6 times NBA Champions with Chicago Bulls

The Greatest Basketball player, The Greatest sportsman ever, A SuperStar & the Best Player in the World of all times

I can tell you about this piece of Trivia that holds the Legend’s Legacy… Sparkling someone people have Tagged “is not Human” in the God sense! He is The Real Deal

He ticks all the boxes: For Real

Stamina of a horse, dripping talent, skills unheard of, attacked like a BULL

Once he was Airborne, & if this flight takes off then there was no stopping him, oh boy he could Fly

He isn’t referred to as Michael Jordan, the dude can walk on water… duuu He is Air Jordan

Everyone knew he wasn’t Human & those Sneakers read AIR

He played in those v Sneakers the same way he Exits in 1998, just as he Entered in 1984

The Last Dance & it was Beautiful!

 

All the Kings horses & all the Kings men… just say it out loud

BasketBall “I love this game”

“3 Peat” if you will & a star was born

Levitating Chicago… making Team Bulls what it was famous for

1995-96 they became “The Best Team, Ever, Anywhere”

Snap! Must be the Sneakers

 

Magic once said: that footwork, mmm… mmm… mmm

Lets break it down for ya “Talk of town” Nah he still is the most Famous person ever

This Story will cover Leadership, Spirit, Determination & will Motivate you or move some in this v dark world

You will start singing “I believe i can Fly”

Are you The Magnificent Jordan? AIR: depends, are you suing me, or do you want my autograph?

Scram! Must be the Sneakers

 

No Media secret, this is Gargantuan

He is a Sports Super Star to a Fashion icon… creating fashion & people still follow

I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy… You look at anybody who is a nobody, he might be walking on the road, in the mall, on your insta handle, I mean anywhere. He never even played a game in his whole life. I see so many wannabes

I mean all those Air Jordans ain’t original, but everyone wants a piece of him

 

Even today you see them wearing Air Jordans… He is bigger than Nike, so we kick it out of the name… haha

These sneakers defined sneakers of sneaker fashion…

Kids saying… my sneakers to my shorts label this bad boy

 

No trouble too big, no limitations, surprise me a little more

Retired> returned> Like win again 3 in a row… delivered!

Damn! Must be the Sneakers

 

They asked if he is a Nice Guy? Nothing in the space of Moral Turpitude!

Good question, Drum roll

Wait for it

Air: I don’t have time to be Nice

I thought you kidding… I don’t kid

I Lead

You can’t read this guy on the court, but you can Read his Sneakers “Air jordan”

 

He said: “45 isn’t 23”

No you just didn’t do that

People build you up to tear you down

It turns out, I’ll be giving them hell

So his Jersey goes back to 23 & what follows was another 3 Peat

 

Keep cool Sneakers, kyoki ki Sneakers khana cool hai, Joote are boring

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

 

Fact finding mission… Aaj ke din that year 1984,

FastForward a few Decades, Crazy stupid rich

Puzzle solved

They are Most Definitely the Mother of Sneakers “Nike Air Jordan” & Mother of inventions that sell Mad with Astronomical Prices, they are too damn expensive!

Wannabe said: What will we do without you

I heard somewhere “don’t love 1 thing, coz if you don’t have it then you have nothing… & it sucks!

So Get a lot of infamous Cool Sneakers

I don't follow trends, i prefer to have my own!

 

At some point you have to move on

Lets get an Affogato sometime you Wannabe you!
