Knight and Dawn

Knight staggered to his SUV. The blast of cocaine he had a minute back made him feel like he had just scored the winning goal in the World Cup Final. He didn't seem to care about anything anymore.The whole world seemed at his feet.His heart thumped out a drum 'n' bass crescendo, and he felt an intense and powerful euphoria clouding his senses.  Unfortunately the hit wouldn't last very long.Around 20-30 minutes.No fear. He had enough supply for a few more hits in his car.But this shit was damn costly. Thankfully,the inheritance from his deceased...

Nothing more

He searched for her frantically- high and low,But all his desperate efforts had no results to show.She had descended in his life like the blessings of an angel ,Her gentleness had moved him,her wit had made him cackle.They seemed so same,like two peas in a pod-he and her,A unique kinship,in his heart and soul she did stir.But she was only for a moment,and then she was gone-Baffled was he,he wondered where she had moved on.To talk to her again,one more time-became his sole wish,He writhed in agonized waiting,like a water deprived fish.Suddenly one...

:-) I wonder what happened to the good ol' feel-good bubbly rom-coms here on blogosphere? Everywhere I direct my eyes these days,I see scathing commentaries on love,dark,morbid depictions of how love left people shattered and broken,or simply blogs which focus on some serious themes totally divorced from the happy euphoria associated with love. I thought this is the season of love.Feb 14 is not even a month away.:-) Now where are those stories?One hero,one heroine,3-4 good songs,foreign locales,a villain perhaps?No gyaan,no vigyaan,just pure entertainment....

Coffee?

I whistled as I crossed a crowded avenue, The air was mint fresh,the day was new. A few clouds dotted the pristine blue sky, Merry birds sliced through them,flying high. Out of the blue, a Santro hurtled towards me, My eyes screamed in horror,fearing what was to be. A dull thud,and I found myself yelling and falling, Hitting the road,I lamented meeting such a fate apalling. The car door swung open,I saw a stilleto stepping out Eyes like a doe,she was a beauty,a knock-out! She gave me her hand,mouthing apology profuse.. I could...

Neutralized

"I wonder how people do it. Stay happy all the time. Laughing away,drowning their miseries and plight in a sea of mirth and euphoria. I just don't get it. It makes me immensely jealous. My life just seems to me like an endless stretch of desolate barrenness. All the gymming in the world hasn't given my shoulders enough strength to carry the burden of my existence. Everything seems hollow. Pointless. Like something lodged in your heart, which you can never seem to get out. It just stays there, bleeding you, hurting you.Forcing you to serve...

All right,ol boy!

In an old age home,two men were talking. "I tell you Ronit,I hate these group photo sessions. When we line up for the picture we look like the snow-covered Himalayas,"the first man cursed."I am seriously considering shaving my hair off and turning bald like you." "I won't recommend it," the second man replied."Being bald doesn't make me look any younger, it just makes my head look like a fossilized dinosaur egg." The first man smiled. "You know,Sanjay," the second man,Ronit,coughed a bit and continued to speak,"I miss those days...
