Green Light!!!

I always cant get much sleep in the night. Some people say that most weird things can happen when you are awake at abnormal hours. Scientifically, when we defy the norm we end up either becoming abnormal or experiencing something that cant be defined as normal.

Why am i writing about such things you will ask? So let me tell you.

A few days back, I was (as usual) awake in the night. You might call it late night, it was almost 1:30 pm. I was looking out of my bedroom window, and i could see the "tekdi" (hill) illuminated with a light green glow in one corner. I was not sure whether i was imagining things or seeing correctly but i could definitely see something. Anyway, i rubbed my eyes and went back to sleep muttering that i am going crazy.

Next day, some how i got up again at the same hour, and was pulled to the window by some invisible force (if at all you want to believe in the drama of the situation :)). And i saw the same thing in one corner of the "tekdi" a small light green glow. Now i was really interested to find out what it is. And why do i see it every night. But given my condition and of course my common sense i decided not to go looking for that light at that time of night.

I followed the similar pattern for almost a week. Every night i used to wake up to watch that glow. On the ninth night, i saw that glow moving from one side of the hill to the other.

And on the tenth night i actually saw the light moving up towards the sky. And then i never saw it again.

I know i never got to the bottom of what that light was. And come to think of it i also cannot believe something that weird did happen.

But the truth is guys that it happened, i did see the light and now i don't anymore.

There might be so many explanations about what i saw but i don't want to get into any details. And just save this memory as an interesting experience.

Yin for Yang, Ainnng???

Devil wears Prada might be true but my devil is Indian, so the devil wears "tulsibaag" cheap accessories to highest paid diamond accessories. Sometimes the devil is in flowery patterns which does not suit the devil or the devil's age at all. And sometimes the devil wears bright flashy clothes which makes me blind when i look at the devil.

Okay, now you guys know "who" i mean by "devil"... Well nonetheless, i don't have enough words to talk about my devil. But somehow as we know every yin has a yang, if i am yin she is yang (purely in official terrms, mind you). If i say "yes", yang says "no". If i say "displays" she says "opens"and so on..... Our love saga, is endless and beyond time.
Just the other day, i came to my work place and decided, today no matter what i am gonna go home on time and not stay back at all.
But then yang came along and broke my crown and pushed me tumbling after....These days i assume that if i want something it is not going to happen at all. In a way yang has made me realize what i DONT want to be in the future...Please GOD let me never be in charge of a team or lead a group of juniors, as i know i might turn into a devil and become somebody else's (eternally cursed) yang....

Its Never-Never Land!

I left house to go to office in the morning. It was a usual 15 km ride in the auto. I was listening to "how to save a life" by "the fray" on my cell. I reached Adlabs square and the signal was red. I am listening to music oblivious of the activity around me and suddenly out of the blue I see a small 5 year old boy shirtless wearing only one pair of a rag of shorts and nothing else coming towards me with another boy, a toddler clinging to him with no clothes on at all. It is 37 degrees heat. Hot and merciless sun beating down on them. But the thing that shocked and moved me was their vacant dull almost dead eyes. These are the kids who have no privileges at all and here i am (Grateful to GOD) blessed with a decent life.

I could not tolerate the lifelessness of these kids. So i got down from the rick. And stood their looking for those kids. They were, of course, begging. And giving them money would have been a crime coz it wont be used for them but just taken away from them by elders(who in my opinion are worse than pimps!). I saw 5 to 6 kids out of which 2 were toddlers standing in the chowk and waiting to go for begging again...

I herded all those kids to one side of the road and fortunately had a dabba with some sandwiches in it. I made them eat the sandwiches and had to feed the toddlers myself. Once done I left them and ironically they started begging again but i could at least see some spark in their eyes(yes i know you will say "it may have been my imagination" ).

While i was walking a short distance to the office i was waiting for euphoria to hit me in the face coz i had done a good deed. But sadly nothing happened. And i was feeling more depressed than before. I could not get this unsettling feeling out of me. I realized there is so much pain in this world that one small measly good deed is not gonna make me feel good.

In-fact, wishing for ACHIEVING happiness over minuscule good deeds that you do is like wishing to find "Never-Never Land"!
