Siesta.

Napped today. in the afternoon :).. felt soooo gud. had a crazy dream.

All I remember now is that I was going to college, in a rikshaw, and it was rainin, and so wen I played the guitar, I got a mild shock, my guitar does that when the feet are wet. And then there was this place near my place where everybody stopped.. by now Gullu and Nimmi were there too. we stopped at this eatin place, where one by one the plastic chairs wud break(twas a dingy setup, and there isnt a place like that really near my place), and everybody wud laugh at the guy whose chair wud break. It got darker slowly... and nobody seemed to bother, coz dey knew it was an eclipse... I dint coz I never watch the news, and then another chair broke, and I took back my phone frm the guy who had it (I dunno why), and then this woman sittin on the floor started makin noises. Weird talkin to the air noises. and i left the place.. I called Gullu and Nimmi too... but they were watching the T.V. so the dint come. And they weren't scared of the talking woman. I came out, the Rickshaw was still waitin for me. The guy was gone. In fact, there was nobody around.
It was all dark. at 12 in the mornin, it was all dark. A strange dark. A beautiful dark. The buildings were ruins of a buried city. A city in an underground cave. Do you remember what it feels like when it gets dark in day time?? And quiet?
Its the silent period. Where nothing moves. An instant that is crystal clear dark blue and grey.. and so serene. And you re just suspended. in a moment that is forever. A moment where everybody, everything is dead. Where doom has struck. Where the people are nothing but grey ashes in a blue light. The amazing thing is you can see the moon. But the sun is a blue ring. Serene.But how can you see the moon? Isnt it the moon that obscures the Sun??
Where the fuck am I? Two moons??

But I like it. wherever this is. Where there is nobody. Where its all an eerie blue forever.

Until I wake up.

I feel weird, wakin up at 5 in the evening. The curtains are drawn, You can see its getting darker. You can sniff the mild cold in the air. Its pretty... and all reddish.. rather pinkish... The evening is a red one. Like you photoshopped everything to a red... nah... orange... an earthy orange hue. You can hear kids screaming, playing outside... Far off screams... :) Feels lost. And nostalgic.

I remember.

When i was a kid...
Long ago...
I would come home from school, have food. throw my clothes about,
And me and my brother would hug mum and sleep.

The two hours that felt like an eternity.
