Obscure

Have you ever slept on the green grass and stared absent mindedly into the big bright blue sky? Have you seen those white cotton clouds playing around with each other? They form shapes that defy geometry but are so life like. They make you smile, they make you sad- simultaneously.

Have you ever slept on the brown banks of a murky but pleasantly flowing river and stared into the ripples formed by a distant fish-boat or an untimely tide? Have you heard the sound of a large group of fish virulently hitting the water surface with its tail and trying to form a chorus? Their actions seem imbecile but are so life like . They make you smile,albeit for a moment, they make you sad-immediately.

Specific incidents remind you of your happy past- a happy memory. Solitude serenades you with the melancholy of life. Tears adhere to rules of gravity, invariably and you grow up. I grow up every day. Most simple facets of life gives me an insight that helps me understand those incongruous feelings which titillate my sub-conscious.

Have you ever had a similar feeling my friend?

ABSTRACT

I wake up to an irritating religious scream of some old moulvi to find out its one o clock in the afternoon. I call for a few of my friends but none respond when I realize all of them have left for college and am the only one left in the house. Felt very lazy about going to college because that is seriously a waste of time. So I get myself freshened up and head towards the kitchen to see if I can manage something to hog. I find aloo parathas very generously awaiting my hungry soul and I oblige them, I am a good Samaritan after all.

Big time jobless so switch on the computer and thought about orkutting for a while but alas! Net connection is down. So far so good.
I switch on the tv and look for some good movies. While surfing, a couple of the Hindi movie channels draw my attention and I intently wait for a good movie to show up. I find some old moronic intellectually challenging karishma and anil kapoor movie coming up so I surf further till I land up in HBO and Star Movies. Worthless movies. Some thoroughly gross ghost movies coming up and some Chinese bullcrap too. So I surf further when I see the logo of touchstone pictures in Zee Studios. Interested I keep looking and there it is. A perfect movie for my mood. I find runaway bride starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts (I know I do not need to mention that) and I am so happy. Though I have seen the movie for like a thousand times but the love for it is still there. I don’t know, I just simply love those mushy romantic comedies which I know is quite improbable if not impossible in today’s world but who does not like candy floss?

But luck had other ideas I guess! Fifteen minutes into the movie the screen goes blue…cable’s out!! No net, no cable..what am I supposed to do? So I head for college. I know some of you are breathing a sigh of relief that it took me nothing more than a faulty net and tv connection to get me to college..but think again my friend. I am going to the common room to play table tennis. Enjoy!!
