Tu Tu Mein Mein - 34

Both brain and heart are starting at the bookshelf.

Brain: (thinking) which book should i read next?

Heart: (thinking) i don't think the books are really organised by colors. Or the height... 

Brain: You seem to have lost in thoughts

Heart: you too... What are you thinking?

Brain: wondering which book to read...

Heart: and? Decided?

Brain: no... I am struggling to find one ..

Heart: i could help you... 

Brain: i really need you help!

Heart: Tell me how then? Shall I suggest something? Which genre? Fiction or non-fiction?

Brain: well .. just arrange the books back by genre.. or author... Or alphabetically by title...

Heart: oh... I see where this is heading... You don't like the way I gave organised by colors... It's rainbow theme... Don't you see?

Brain: well, I am seeing that and therefore struggling. Who arranges books by colors? It makes no sense.

Heart: i arrange by colors!  So? It's called aesthetics. You won't understand!

Brain: of course, i don't! I would like to use the bookshelf to store my books that I could pick anytime and read!

Heart: are you saying i don't like to use my bookshelf for the same reason? And... AND... can I not bring some aesthetics too?

Brain: i don't think so...

Heart: ok... Ok... So?

Brain: so nothing... You won't understand...

Heart: pass the blame on me... That's all you know... I don't understand... I don't know... You are know it all, right?

Brain: you made me say things. I was silent...

Heart: silence speaks, my friend. What you know?

Brain: silence speaks?! Wow... That's the most bizarre thing I have heard...

Heart: $$@$#$ 

Brain: same to you!

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 33

Mind   : What are you thinking so deep?

Heart  : I am not thinking anything.

Mind   : Really! Sure? You look so lost in thoughts.

Heart  : No. No. I am at peace now.

Mind   : People in peace don’t think?

Heart  : I am not sure.

Mind   : Then maybe you are not at peace

Heart  : What do you mean?

Mind   : You said you are at peace and that you are not thinking anything. So I asked if people in peace would not think anything. So, I was just confirming and trying to get more information.

Heart  : Aha! As always, I didn’t realise that you are teasing me

Mind   : I am not teasing you

Heart  : Oh, come on! You think I can’t not think and that I can never be at peace

Mind   : Woah! Hang on, when exactly did I say that?

Heart  : Great! Now you don’t even remember what you have been saying. That’s now insignificant I am to you.

Mind   : Insignificant? If so, why would I even initiate a conversation with you?

Heart  : As if you don’t know!

Mind   : I DON’T know!

Heart  : You are the smart and kick-ass, right? Why don’t you figure it out?

Mind   : Figure out what? I am not following this conversation anymore. Its clearly not making any sense.

Heart  : Great! Now I am senseless… Go on... what else?

Mind   : okay, chuck it.

Heart  : If you cannot have a proper dialog with me, then why do you even try?

Mind   : I cannot have a proper dialog or YOU?

Heart  : Everything need not come to me

Mind   : Everything need not come to ME either!

Heart  : If there was US, it wouldn’t have.

Mind   : I can’t take this anymore. Ciao

Heart  : No… no…! Just &%$@ off

Mind   : Sighs….

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 32

Mind   : So what’s up?

Heart  : Well, nothing!

Mind   : Seriously? That can’t true. I am sure you are thinking about something.

Heart  : Thinking is not my job. Have you become mindless?

Mind   : What? You sound like you have become heartless!

Heart  : See, you are picking on me now for now reason? Can’t you just leave me alone?

Mind   : Leave you alone? Remember that you can’t be alone and certainly not without me!

Heart  : Here comes the usual rant! I am superior… I am everything… blah… blah… blah…

Mind   : (Sighs). Okay, leave it. I am not going to say anything

Heart  : Of course you won’t! Wouldn’t I know? I mean, why you would spend your precious time with me… talking to me… er… well… arguing with me…

Mind   : Exactly! ********* Scoots ************

Heart: *********** Sobs! **************

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 31

Heart  : I think you have changed a lot

Mind   : Who? Me? Why do you say so?

Heart  : I am not saying something out of the blue, okay.

Mind   : Of course, you are not. I just asked why you felt so.

Heart  : Because you hardly talk to me. There are no conversations anymore.

Mind   : Come on, we talk. Are we not speaking now?

Heart  : No, you are answering to my questions.

Mind   : Maybe.  But at least I am answering, right?

Heart  : Oh yeah! So generous of you. I shall forever be thankful for this.

Mind   : Why are you being so sarcastic? I just said what I felt.

Heart  : Exactly, you can say whatever you feel. And, I have to agree. But, you? Do you even listen to me? Or bother to answer me?

Mind   : Just now you said I answer. (confused)

Heart  : Wow! Now you are blaming me for something I said. Well and good. I deserve this. After all, I decided to be with you and I initiated this conversation. (Cries)

Mind   : But the problem was we don’t have conversations. Now you are contradicting. I don’t understand what your problem is.

Heart  : Forget it, leave me alone. I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Ever.

Mind   : Whatever!

Heart  : See, you have changed a lot. You don’t ever care to console me.

Mind   : **************RUNS AWAY**************

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 30

Mind   : What is wrong with you?

Heart : Nothing. Why?

Mind   : You look distracted and sad

Heart : Come on, I am not. I am telling (smiles)

Mind   : You are smiling, but it doesn’t reach your eyes. Tell me what is wrong!

Heart : You mean I am faking? Why would I do that?

Mind   : When did I say that?

Heart : You don’t even realize what you say. You don’t care if your words hurt others

Mind   : Does this mean I am the reason for your sadness?

Heart : Yes! You are the ONLY reason (agitated)

Mind   : In that case, you could have told me that

Heart : I just told you

Mind   : Yes, you just told me. But not when I asked.

Heart : I am not answerable to you, remember? (Irritated)

Mind   : Okay, I get that. Leave it.

Heart : If everything is okay with you, why do you ask?

Mind   : I am sorry. I made a big mistake by asking if you are okay (sighs)

Heart : See, now you are irritated

Mind   : I am irritated? You seriously think so?

Heart : What do you mean? Of course you are. I am anything but irritated

Mind   : Fine (Walks off)

Heart : FINE (Yells back. Starts crying. Feels sad)

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 29

Heart : I really wish you talk me. Sighs!

Mind   : Oh-Em-Gee! I thought that you always wanted me to shut up. What happened to you now? Sarcastic

Heart : Okay. Make fun of me now. I feel like I need you the most now. But, as always you don’t disappoint me. Why do you always want to meet my expectations?

Mind   : Come on! Be happy that at least I meet your expectations.

Heart : What does that mean? Don’t I meet your expectations?

Mind   : Of course not! You significantly exceed.

Heart : Can you stop being cryptic and blurt out?

Mind   : See, you said you wanted to talk. So I started talking to you because I guessed that’s what you wanted. But look at you, you are fighting with me. I never expected that.

Heart : Oh! So I am that one who is fighting. Not you. Blame me. That’s all you can do.

Mind   : when did I say that?

Heart : Chuck it please. I really wish you talk to me. Sighs!

Mind   : ^%&(@#%@#@

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 28

Heart  : Can you please stop asking questions? For heaven’s sake!

Mind    : If you answer, why would I ask questions?

Heart  : Why should I answer you? I am not answerable to anyone

Mind    : I agree with you. You are NOT answerable to anyone, BUT me!

Heart  : Arrrggggggh!! Can you please leave me alone?

Mind    : Without me you are incomplete. When will you understand that?

Heart  : Without me, you would be dead. Better understand that!

Mind    : Short temper is not good for you. Listen to me.

Heart  : JUST GO AWAY!!! ($%#@&^%$!)

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 27

Heart : You will never understand.

Mind   : What now?

Heart : Nothing.

Mind   : You were alright till now. Suddenly you start again. (Confused and irritated)

Heart : STARTED AGAIN?!!! What do you mean? Am I always like this – you tell me. What really don’t understand? You ignore me. Take me for granted. And then you blame me if I express my feelings. Tell me what I should do. TELL ME NOW! (Screaming)

Mind   : Only you have feelings. Others don’t.

Heart : Of course. Others have feelings. Not you.

Mind   : Okay, I have no feelings. I don’t care about others. Happy?

Heart : What are you saying? I told me three things –three about me and one about you. You are behind that one thing I told you. Can you not be so self-obsessed?

Mind   : Now I am self-obsessed also. Go on…

Heart : Forget it. You will never understand! (weeps)

Mind   : (Sighs)

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 26

Mind   : Won’t you ever talk to me?

Heart : No!

Mind   : But why? Won’t you tell the reason?

Heart : Because there is nothing common between us. Our worlds are different. And I doubt if they could ever co-exist or even intersect.

Mind   : Of all the people, you say that?

Heart : Yes. Of all the people only I know how it feels to be neglected and ignored. You taught me.

Mind   : Can you stop the drama and get back to routine?

Heart : You don’t have to tell me what I should do. I have a mind of my own

Mind   : Of course you have a mind of your own and that’s me!

Heart : Don’t play with words. Just let me be.

Mind   : Exactly. Be yourself. Talk to me.

Heart : Self-obsessed &^%$@ (sighs)

Mind   : (winks)

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 25

Heart : I am so happy today!

Mind   : Strange! Really? Sure?

Heart : What is so strange if someone is happy?

Mind   : Of course there is nothing strange if someone is happy!

Heart : You only said so!

Mind   : I don’t deny. Strange indeed because YOU are happy!

Heart : ALRIGHT! You just want to nutpick and fight.

Mind   : I am sorry. Tell me why you are happy. Please!

Heart : Wow! Someone is sweet and all! What’s the matter ah?

Mind   : Ah! Nothing. You are happy. And I am happy for you J

Heart : I can’t believe this! You are happy and not fighting!!! Oh-Yem-Gee!!!

Mind   : ***Silent***

Heart : Why are you silent? Say something!!!

Mind   : What should I say? Tell me ***Confused***

Heart : Don’t you even feel like asking why I am happy?

Mind   : Okay, tell me, why are you happy?

Heart : Just F%^$S^ off. You will never change!!! ***stomps away***

Heart : Why should I? Who are you to me?

Mind   : What am I saying and what are you saying?

Heart : Exactly! What are YOU saying?

Mind   : So you didn’t understand?

Heart : Nope! Don’t YOU understand that?

Mind   : Unlike you, I am not dumb. So I understand.

Heart : So you think I am dumb?

Mind   : You ARE dumb. You heard me? Happy?

Heart : You always look down at me. You always demean me. (Wailing)

Mind   : And you always complain, scream or weep. (Exasperated)

Heart : You are the understanding one, right? Then why don’t you understand?

Mind   : I UNDERSTOOD. You are DUMB!!!! (Screams)

Heart : ***sobs***

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 23

Heart  : I need time.

Mind    : Okay.

Heart  : Okay? Don’t even what to know for what?

Mind    : For what?

Heart  : See, you don’t even care for me. I can’t keep going on like this. You think that I am dumb. Insane. A crying-walking-complaining baby!

Mind    : I don’t understand what is it with you? What is suddenly wrong now?

Heart  : SUDDENLY WRONG? Everything is wrong. You don’t have time. And I want your time!

Mind    : What? I don’t have time? Am I not talking to you now? Or do you think that it is my ghost!

Heart  : You will never get it my boy!

Mind    : Same to you… Thank you and now **** you!

Heart  : (Weeping)

Mind    : (Sighing)

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 22

Mind   : OKAY!!! 

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 21

Heart  : You have changed a lot.

Mind    : So have you!

Mind    : You also work… Feel hungry and tired!

Heart  : But, I still find time for you. Try to be with you and share.

Mind    : Amn’t I being with you now?  When have I dumped you? When you yelled at me last day and cried last week, didn’t I patiently consoled you?

Heart  : Aw! So generous of you. I appreciate the work done. Thanks!

Mind    : What that &%$#^*@$? All you can do is yell or cry? Or crib and blame!

Heart  : So, this is what you think about me! Just get lost! Let the truth live – I HAVE NO ONE!

Mind    : Okay! (Sounding very calm)

Heart  : Okay! (Angry, irritated, frustrated, teary and emotional all at the same time!!!)

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 20

Mind    : Why are you so silent now?

Heart  : Because you don’t want to hear me talk. You always get irritated.

Mind    : I don’t deny. But, you can’t stop talking.

Heart  : If I talk you say, “Keep quiet”. If I am silent you say, “Why don’t you talk”. Tell me what I should do?

Mind    : I asked you to talk. Not blame or whine.

Heart  : See, you are irritated already. You never try to understand me.

Mind    : Uffo! Can you SHUT UP!

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 19

Heart : I want to go out.

Mind   : Why don’t you stay at home and clean or read or watch TV. Or sleep.

Heart : What is your problem? Why can’t I go out?

Mind   : Because you will end up shopping!

Heart : SO WHAT?

Mind   : Then, you will be guilty till next outing for being an impulsive shopping.

Heart : So, you call me insane? Depressed?

Mind   : No! I said you are spendthrift.

Heart : IT IS NOT SO FLATTERING EITHER OKAY.

Mind   : Can you stop shouting

Mind   : Can you please stop being judgmental?

Heart : OKAY. Hurt and annoyed.

Mind   : OKAY. Happy and relieved.

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 17

Heart : I have decided.

Mind   : What is it now? (Sighs)

Heart : That I will not make decisions.

Mind   : WHAT? (!@#$%)

Heart : I have decided that I will not take any decisions anymore

Mind   : Why? (Confused)

Heart : Because you are a maverick. An autocrat. It’s always your way or no way.

Mind   : Good! (Irritated)

Heart : Look at your answers. Always single words or one liners.

Mind   : I am not like you.

Heart : I know you that hate me. (Sad)

Mind   : When did I say that?

Heart  : You don’t have to say anything. I can still understand everything. I am not a fool although you think so!!!

Mind   : Can you please spare the drama?

Heart : Yes. When I die

Mind   : OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tu Tu Mein Mein - 16

Heart : I knew this would happen.

Mind   : Uf-oh! What now?

Heart : I knew that you will disagree with me. Have you ever given me what I wanted?

Mind   : What did you ask for?

Heart : See, you don’t even remember what I asked for!

Mind   : You are impossible. I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E!

Heart : Now start yelling! This is all you know.

Mind   : And all you know is to whine, cry and complain. And accuse.

Heart : Okay. I will not say anything going forward. I also know to forget and be silent.

Mind   : See, look at the tone, “I also”! Accuse. This is nothing new to me.

Heart : Yell! This is nothing new to me either.
