The Other Side Of The Darkness

last night, as usual, i put up at my friends' place to basically study for the coming exams. serious times demand serious attention.so there we were thinking what should be the plan of action for the forthcoming series of dilemmas.we decided finally that we had enough of fun for the semesters and now we needed to buckle up and start studying if there was any intention of passing.we decided that the moment was right now.

but as destiny had planned out for us, the power in the area went off as soon as we started. disgusted by the fact that even fate cannot stand us studying, we searched for the pack of cigarettes( required light coming from the cell phones )and went out on to the road to drag.with strong disgust we looked around the surroundings and found that the only illumination was our cigarttes and the twinkling stars.

now how can someone be mad at the night for long when you see the mesmerizing reflection of twinkling stars on the briliantly shining armour of the glorious darkness? not me at least and i was proud of the fact that my friends were enjoying the darkness as much as i was.our minds were racing...thoughts were flying into the open sky when we realised that it has been really so long that we have risen above the concrete jungle to truly appreciate the beauty of nature,day or night! the darkness was a bliss.

but somewhere out there in the vastness of the sky,my favourite lady was missing! she was hiding from us for some unknown reason; may be she despises the fact that we never stop for a moment to appreciate her immortal beauty,rather we utilise the night to look out for earthly heartwarmers without blemishes,very much like the blind bats in search of their soul mates.and as the gardener protects his fruits from the deadly assault of the bats,it seemed the sky was hiding her most savoured fruit from the lurking eyes of us-the bats!

we succumbed to the stunning yet subtle charm of the night that was devoid of any moon light but still managed to spellbind us with a rich elixir called sheer darkness. the distant stars shone like millions of magnificiently cut diamonds,pouring their cosmic blessings on us. we were basking in the glory of the darkness when suddenly a sharp ray of light pierced the atmosphere like a flash of a sword and the entire ethereal feel of the moment was assassinated forever.

the power had been restored, the divine blessings stopped abruptly and made us feel like naked people suddenly realising the power of a thousand staring eyes. unfortunate as we are, we went inside our rooms and took up our books to show that life is a show and the show has to go on!

man..the line "twinkling stars on the briliantly shining armour of the glorious darkness" was thought provoking.
I like watching the sky whenever there is a powercut.you talk a lot..in silence..with yourself..or with the sky...in awe of it.
But now and then, you must look up and let the thoughts play..like i always look at the sky, during drive-back-home(you-know-why..)
Nature & its Beauty,perhaps the only creations of God,which we cannot imitate..but only envy.
and needless to say,i missed those moments.
Btw,I hope that you got on with the mundane job, after power was restored.

everyday the sky has to close his eyes so that beauty of immortal beauty is seen by you so once if sky hides her away you should not be complaining.whenever your tick tock permits experience the love that lady showers on earth you will never complain after that.

As aakarsh said, that phrase or sentence you used to describe the sky, 'shining stars..........', was simply fantastic. That evening when three of us were looking up at the night sky, guess each of us had different thoughts running rather as you said, racing in our minds. During those times, when we look up at the sky and express our emotions with that 'Wow' feeling, i always feel so small in comparison with nature. I feel if we can see those shining stars millions of light years away, i wonder if life existed on those stars or i mean if that star itself had eyes (sorry for the vivid personification), could it see any of us like the way we see it shining?

aakarsh : to quote one of the greatest guitarists ever," knowledge speaks and wisdom listens." when we look at the sky and go speechless i think its nature's way of making us more wise..

hellskitchen : when we look up dont we sometimes feel how would it be like to be on board The Enterprise??

i envy them!
