Midnight apple

I slept through dinner time tonight
having an apple seemed so right
so i took a large bite
alas it was rotten at the core
and i couldnt eat it anymore

Empty stomach leads to lousy rhyming. And the fault lies entirely with that stupid apple. We have always treated this fruit affectionately and with respect, the eden garden fiasco notwithstanding. And this is how it repays a starving daughter of eve. So much so for gratitude. I wonder what would have happened had eve decided not to share the apple with adam. Would she have been alone kicked out? Would adam badly missing his sole beautiful companion have come looking for her, secretly? Would he have stood up against God, connived with lucifer and overthrown the entire kingdom to get his eve back. Or would he have just used another one of his ribs? Ah! things would have been so much more thrilling and exciting. Adam's dilemma, God's wrath and eve's misery. Wow! an empty stomach leads to a stupendous imagination.
I have to get passport sizephotos for my B school application forms. Now I hate my passport photos. I hate them because i look stupid in them. Its weird to see an expressionless face. I mean why don't we smile in passport photos? I ran a search and found out that in UK the computers can't recognize a person if s/he is smiling. A smile supposedly distorts one's contour. And here i used to think that a smile was the best thing to wear on your face.I still don't understand why i can't send a picture of a smiling me with my B-school application. Anyways I guess i have a long day ahead and very few hours that i can spend sleeping. Another day filled with local trains, cstc buses and probably some good breakfast.
