Creature of the Night

He hides his face with the piece on cloth. His eyes hurt from the piercing ray of sun falling on his eyes.He closes them with force. His skin aches from the feel of light. He takes another cloth and tries to block his whole face from light. When he is unable to take it anymore he stands up and closes that window from where that one ray of sun was entering the room and falling on his face. He draws the curtains.He watches with great intent at all possible holes from where light can peek into his room.
Convinced, he sets the cooling with his remote and goes to hibernation.

He moves in his bed, clock says - 3 PM! He needs to feed himself. He switches on loud music. Drums, screams,groans, guitar sounds fill the entire space. He finds a bottle and
a pizza. He grabs bite and gulps the drink.He logs in to the virtual world and stays in for hours.
Its been long. His senses say it is safe now. The time has come. His body feels excited, ready for action. He moves towards the window. Slowly, he moves the curtain an inch and peeps in outside.What a relief, the sun is all set to set!!!

Time for shower! Crisp shirt, a tee over it. Torn jeans, and loads of
Gucci is sprayed. He smells good. He looks good and he feels good.

He steps outside....Darkness. The cool breeze hits his face.
The city twinkles with infinite lights. Stars in the sky!
No sun!

It his time of the day - The night!

He goes to his favorite cafe. A nice meal with brewed coffee to clear his mind. He goes for a long drive in his car. He halts near the sea. He walks to the cliff. Stands there....Feels the air...Hears the
sea waves... Feels the impact...Closes his eyes....!


It is late night. He enters his fort - his workplace. His cabin, his table, his stuff. He looks at it and smiles. Every time he sees it , he feels so excited, so happy and adrenaline rushes in his blood...!

He moves his hands....Scratches on the vinyl and the whole
place is on with loud music and lights!

" Ladies and Gentlemen....Your in House DJ welcomes you....
The Night is progressive....The Life is Progressive.."

He enjoys his work. Rather loves it. He goes on for hours together!
...............
.........
....
..
.


He is drained and tired. He sun may be out soon now. He takes his
car and rushes back home. Safe in his hibernating place, he lies down
and sleeps!

For his time of day has ended!

FREE

A very interesting observation has been made lately. It comes with being "Free".Now all of you who are excited - "Oh..being free! How badly I want to be free!"
And all of you philosophers - " Yeah,Being Free is what life is all about"
And the dopers - " Ahan! Now this guy seems to be from our brothahood,he is talking sense like us."
And the pessimists (Realists if thats what they can be called) - " Free? One can never be free, he always has something holding him."

For all of you if you belong to any of the above groups of mankind, I am sorry to say - You will be Disappointed!
By free we mean Free, Doesnt free also mean - "One who has nothing to do" ?

X: So dude, what ya doing these days?
Me: Oh I am free man!
X: Free?
Me: Ya I am doing Nothing these days.
X: Oh Lucky you!

Few weeks later.
X: Whats up man.What u upto these days?
Me: Nothin man. I am free!
X: Thats great. I envy you!


Next day.
X: So what do you do whole day?
Me: I told you I do nothing.
X: Oh! I mean still, what you do besides usual sleeping and eating.
Me: Nothing!



Yeah guys! We are talking about being this " Free"!
Now do you ask a CEO of some company what you do whole day.
Do you ask a manager what do you do whole day. Do you ask a writer? A Doctor? A student?
Or for that matter anyone who says I do something?
Well, not usually,you don't ask.
If he is a doctor you know what he is suppose to do whole day.
If he is a student he is suppose to attend lectures,give exams.

But each and everyone of you would certainly ask someone who says I am FREE , I do nothing.
When in just one word he is making it crystal clear that he is FREE, why would you still ask him.It is just plain stupid!

A typical answer would be that this makes everyone curious that if he is free, then what does he exactly do the whole day?
What his routine is like?
He must be doing something? ( You know the tone aint it ;)...See everyone of you knows)
How does he pass his time?
HOW IN THE HELL HE COULD BE DOING NOTHING?
This isnt right.
Everyone has to do something.



All of you with these questions in mind. Nothing can also mean Nothing!
So don't go on like a little child asking and don't bother such people.
For by asking him such questions you are distracting him from being FREE!

The Smile

Smooth wide road has beautiful trees along it. Trees with yellow leaves.
Trees planted at equal distances, and it seemed they have grown
all in a symmetry. When you see the road ahead, through the yellow leaves
you see the light blue sky.It has paths built along the road, for
people to walk.The university is all full of colours. Somewhere with flowers and leaves,and at places wit vibrant students.

She walks on the path along the road. She walks with firm steps.
A face as charming and fresh as dew drops on petals. But the face
carries an air on it too. Air that is different from the air outside it.
Air which defines a new ,her own world inside it.

She carries a backpack and her hair are tied firmly. Right behind her
is a guy walking. He is trying to catch up with her.
Finally he reaches,and walks right along her.

He: "So which department teaches you to carry attitude like this?"

She:" Which department teaches you to poke your nose in other's business?"

He: " Engineering, Computer engineering. They have nothing to teach us,
so I poke my nose like this."

She: " But they certainly teach us how to poke clip noses which poke in to much."

He: "What a pleasure it would be for my nose, if you do it with your hands."

She: "I am not impressed with you shooters, if that is what you are trying to do."

He: " I know that well, So I am not trying."

(with a straight face) " Coffee?"

She: " Thank you! But I can have it on my own."

He: " Sure...me too! I would just sit along you."
" And did I tell you are really more beautiful than you actually think you are.."

She: " And did I tell you are not as smart as you think you are."

He: "Am I much more than that too.."
(shrugs)

She: ( Looks...)
(Raises her eyebrow)

The Rush!

For all his life he has driven his car on big empty lanes. He has traveled through so many roads and so many places.He has driven through forests, there have been deserts and sands, there have been fields, and there have been mountains.
He had always enjoyed driving. He had felt the hot dry air in sand on his face. And again he had the wet drops with breeze pushing him. Then there has been no wind, just the warmth of the sun like the mother's love. There has been storms with snow blowing out everything.
It has been cold. It has been warm.It has been hot!

He had stopped wherever he had wanted. To look at the mighty mountains, To stare at the endless stars in the sky , To feel the rain drenching him, To say goodbye to setting sun and welcome it rising. And sometimes just because he wanted to stop and feel everything around him.

Yes, there have been maddening towns. The traffic, the noise, but it has been for small intervals. He has passed with, and sometimes bypassed them totally. He has kept himself to wide open roads!

Then came a might day. The wide road came at a four way. Something sharp pained in his brain. Just for a fraction of a second. It was like it came and went before you can scream!
He shook his head and moved straight!
( Close you eye and imagine this. A wide road meeting at a four way. At the very moment the view goes up and up. Up to the sky, revealing what lays ahead of that wide road)

There were lanes.
There were lanes.
More lanes.
Lanes and Lanes.
So many lanes.
Infinite lanes...

Lanes meeting more lanes.
Lanes leaving other lanes.
Lanes over lanes.
Lanes below lanes.

And there was traffic. Vehicles moving everywhere. Running, rushing, speeding. No lane was without them. All had vehicles running on them.
The maddening rush!

You cant stop. You stop and you are hit from behind.
You have to move...
Move and Rush!

There is one place where you stop - The Red light. Ya everyone stops at one.
But the light timings have been so adjusted. There is not enough time to think what is happening. The moment you try to think over it.

Whoosh there is green...
Move....
Rush....


( The view keeps moving upwards. It shows the maze. You see and see. You see and it is blurred. It is blurred and it disappears!)

Eruption....

For best reults - Put this song on - " Sexual Eruption" by Snoop Dogg before starting of with the reading.Get it here: DOWNLOAD

The smoke in the front of his eyes was floating in the air.

The song playing was - Sexual Eruption by snoop dogg.

He half laid on the comfortable couch of the lounge club..The walls were painted black, and the steel raillings and staircase was shining brightly.On the low table in front of him, lay his wonder puff. He put his face down and inhaled it...

.
"I'm gonna take my time, she gon get hers before II'm gonna take it slow (woah woahh),......................."

Eyes closed....It travelled from the tunnel in his nose to his head..he could feel every millimetre of its movement....till it spread to his whole head....He kept his eyes closed..and slowly opened them...

" Sexual Eruptionnnn...Sexua..."

The smoke in front of him was floating smoothly, the things moved in a motion,...slow....The dj with his headphones on movin his head slowly....,the people moving on the floor slowly.....,
Bartender threw up the vodka bottle in the air...it went up slowly...,and stopped...and it reamined there....just in the mid air.....
Hands moved, Heads moved, Smoke floated, Music played on...The Bottle stayed in the air.....!

"She might be with him but shes thinkin 'bout me me meeeeeeee............................."

He reached for his glass on the table. He moved his hand...and it moved slowly......slowly it moved ahead......Slowly.....Finally it felt the cold glass surface.....He gulped in the liquid in one go....His eyes closed....and opened again slowly....

"We don't go to the mall, we don't go out to eat eat eeeaat...."

The eyes saw a naked thigh....it moved slowly.....the black silky cloth came over it but went away slowly....Coming down they saw a shining knee....brighter than the steel in the club....The flesh would turn blue, then green and sometimes white.....The eyes moved slowly....

"All that we ever do it play in the sheets sheets sheeeeeetss............."

His head went again for the powder.....sniffed...it travelled....to the head...

"I'm gonna take it slow (woah woahh), .............."

Eyes close...

Eyes open Slowly.....

Smoke didn't float, it was still in the air....

No bodies moved, they stayed still .....

Just one body moved.....

drapped in black silk...

It moved amongst the still world...

Thighs moved....

Black...

White.....

" Sexual Eruptioooonnn..."

Black white.....

Green...

Blue...

Black white...

"If you don't know by now, Doggy Dogg is a freak freak freeeeaak...."
