Bilbo, Anantha please take note.
Some time back or rather a long long time back (as some people are quick to point out), I had posted two poems which I had called the Smoky Lounge poems and then they became my undoing. Everybody here remember those poems and then nothing else I have posted after that.
.
So here is another attempt at the Smoky Lounge Series. Hope you like it.
(Fizz, IW, Ardra, Anantha I know u guys have read it but I have some changes lately).

Oh so it CAN be heard??
Oh so it CAN be heard?? Coool! Now I can go ahead and complete a romantic bollywood style picturization in my head [which is what I was doing first time around, until the whistle confusion halted my thought flow!]
iw - What makes u think i can ride a bike? :–)) Not that I cant, but the one I ride also goes my the name ‘bi-cycle’ :–P However thanks to a cousin, I have many (motor)bike experiences too.
Dunno abt the whistling
part, but its definitely possible to have a conversation. Those rides are definitely a lot of fun. Man this brings back sooooo many memories
U can, U can
u can hear the whistling under certain circumstances!! There is no doubt about it, Sunny gal. Ardra, eeks sorry about that but that was such a nice comment, why embarrased at all?
IW ji thoda control karo yaar; aise vrooom vrooom mat karo
Anantha, how can we target chets; so we HAVE to target you, right?
i too think u can hear the
i too think u can hear the whistling sound, if u sit close enough to rest ur head on the guys shoulder and listen carefully..
hugging close might help concentrate better..
but sigh! i cant make a categorical stmt as my guy doesnt whistle in the first place..
Come one experienced Ananth, lets hear it from u first hand..
Nithya,Suresh
Sorry, I have not sat behind any gal’s ( or guy’s !! ) bike, hugging her tightly to listen to whistle or whines

If that happens, will let you know
Lets just say u dont have share the rider’s seat itself to listen
PS : I strongly object to both of the comments. When Cheti made the remark and I simply agreed to his comment, why are you targetting me alone?!! This is plain bias and I hope site admins are looking at your behaviour and planning appropriate action
Alternatively do u mean to say Cheti cant afford to open his mouth now-a-days ?!!
ahem....
that comment which i had posted when I first read this one- was in the recklessness of the nostalgia evoked and the confidence that it was not linked to DSS
was under the delusion that only you would be seeing it…but now feeling a trifle embarassed
went back and read the other poems in the series, and felt that the moods were totally different…
but liked it- and those in different ways…
so please continue writing and sharing…

Vroooom Vrooooom Vrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooom
[ I don’t mind ] volunteering for a Practical Test cum Live Demonstration of this bike & whistle experiment.. Just a minor problem : I can’t ride a bike.. and i can’t whistle. As per whatever lil I know of Sunny.. she can ride a bike.. & she can whistle too (whistle,like a MAN if i may say so) ..
If sunny agrees to be a sport..& agrees to be a co-participant in this experiment, then I don’t mind being the guinea pig.. Vrrooom Vrooom Vrrrrroooooooooooooooom
nice !
had told that before itself …i think u shud write more on the series and end with your original one ( As we sit at the Smoky Lounge
glazed eyes, frozen smiles ) like you have done here. Its gives a nice look. Give a link to the first one at the end of this poem.
Hey silo,[I hope u wont
Hey silo,
[I hope u wont mind] Its not easy to whistle when you are speeding on a bike. There is just too much wind. Moreover, the poem is the girl’s perspective, not the guy’s..and the truth is, the girl cant hear the gentle sound of whistling over the sound of gushing wind. Even if it *is* there. Even if she is hugging close. [Correct me if you KNOW it can be heard :–))))] In that portion, the scene became implausible for me, and the poem ended up looking like creative work, than a song from a real thuding heart.
Hey Sunny
[I hope u wont mind]
I totally reject your scientific analysis of the situtation on hand ! It is easy to whistle and it is easy to hear the whistle too.
agree with cheti
Sunny, [ I hope u dont mind] This shows your inexperience completely
ditto
GS [IHUDM] You can easily hear the rider if you turn your head and listen with one ear and you dont have to be hugging close but it helps….
come on ananta lets hear about your hugs n conversations on long rides.
