green grass blue sky.

That time I had nothing to do, and I spent my countless evenings sitting on the same pitch, when it used to be dark and the street lights used to make me feel larger than my self, we used to search for our true selves in those shadows.

Sometimes beer, sometimes cigarette, sometimes fritters , sometimes endless talks and sometimes the peace... we shared a lot while sitting on that hip 'n' famous park of mumbai. We designed the dreams and dissolved the pains and worries, shared the thoughts and shared the life, built dreams and struggled to make them true .Every time we felt alone we headed there to get life, and we got it every time, we don’t know when and how we fell apart.

The ‘we’ left alone but there remained ‘I ’. whenever I felt life going off track and slipping out of my hand, I trust that pitch ,go there have a chat with those inexistent ‘we’s and meet my self ones again as I was……

As the night swung..........

Next day went with soar legs and feverishness. The endless dance and aimless drinking and lots of lost people around. All were knowingly unknown about each other. Where the day ends and life starts I was standing just on the side walk. Life was sliding with ugly cries , it was making me feel lost, in fact that’s what everybody was there for! expensive scotch was burning my throat today. I think I was searching for something...... I was lost.

As the night swung the colours became bright .the ugliness of night was shining now. The world was swirling so was my head, and the gravitation evaporated somewhere. I spotted trembling legs and banging heads in the corner. they were vulgar, there minds were naked. I looked down to myself and realized i was pretending to be dressed up. I saw those staring eyes striping me from the distance. I had nothing to hide behind; everything was so naked so clear.

I saw the questions but they were hallucinations for a night. I went far away from myself and saw me trembling in the corner, the thoughts had gone and the memories were on the rocks. now I saw the questions dissolving in air.

I felt sorry for the world. I was so happy to be away from myself and so were the poor souls around me. The night swung and I joined them, that’s what all of us were there for! I think Finally I was happy....... I think I was lost…………….
