The encounter with the nite.

it was near midnite, i was hurrying to get to my room. nite was there as it was all the time. my favorite time of a day. scary and gracious at the same time, u feel dat u r the king of men as everyone else was laying down helplessly. i used to sketch in nights only, i am missing my pencils. i must start a sketch asap. last one i made was to gift it to ragini. i hope she likes it. Thoda shak was there ki, i will sleep while driving only, or will get drenched vth the cloud juice. i had to stay late as i had to complete the work i took up as part of scope definition of the project we took up to develop with coordination of TCS ppl. I was driving fast, and then was thinking that it could be dangerous as ppl forget rules in night then was slowing down a lil. But still was on full throttle. Was humming 'hotel california', what a coincidence!!! on a dark desert high way cool wind in my hair (sorry mom i wasnt wearing helmet)... i was near taj banjara as i saw the hording was showing abt their latest cuisine for the season. i din even bothered wut dat was, but was thinking of the wonderful egg fry mom used to prepare along with sambar. was back home a couple of days ago but still missing home badly. donno why but i was always rude with my parents and bro. i never heard wut they say, never agree vth wut day want me to do... but for ever luv them lots, more thatn anybody in the whole world. never even bothered to apologize to them coz i've taken them for granted. as i remembered mom the wash basin that is getting constructed in our new house dat day... how wud it be if we place a hanging lamp over the mirror and put a flower pot there bneath it?? no no we can put a lamp there and hav a painting on the right side wall which will look good as there is nothing thre on wall... then suddenly a boy who was crossing the road came xactly before me... shitt!! sudden brake maara... uff! he was still 3 meters away. boy! wut happened to me?? the boy was smiling ( or laughing at me?). the street light was fallin on his face but his smile was more brighter. wut he is doin there at time? he was carrying a bag.. i thought he is a garbage picker... i tried alott to ignore dat... but i cudnt as the boy i just saw was one of my failures... one of my dream that never came true... was i lazy or was dat coz i din had much money... wuttever the reason... i cudnt start the deed that may fulfilled my dream... i should donate blood on birthday... then should go to orphanage and distribute sweets to them.. and the first that i must to asap i join motorola is to hav a lifetime membership in naandi... where i put dat visiting card dat rakesh gave?? yah its there in drag under the mirror... have to do something. something noble. its not that i will change the whole world into a better place to live, but i cud be a part of the creation of new world... jagamanta kutumbam naadi... ekaki jeevitham naadi... samsaara sagaram naadi... sanyasam soonyam naaadi. i din even completed the humming but a middle aged man was shouting like hell on the road... on lo unnadra baaabooo... booze!! will never do dat. donno hw anybody enjoys the situation where he cant even control himself. intoxicated. intoxication. sweet intoxication of love. desert rose. sting!! wut a great song that was. new song to humm!! the road is pleasant who stops me!!?? i am gonna rock the road!! up to the maximum of bikes throttle.... meghaalalo theli pommanndi... toophaanu la regipommannadi... suddely my bike stops!! shitt!! not now!! tried to kick. kicked it hard. wut cud be the reason?? the fuel went to reserve?? yes. it is. did i did wrong agreeing vth bro for taking rx 135?? its not even goin 35 man!! then noted down the kilometres. 743. the bike gets started and felt happy lilstening to the engine beat. wow wut a beat man. like a roarin black cheeta in the dark jungle called nite. took a right turn near taj krishna... lookin at that... taj krishna... there was a long steep road. like vally. i reduced the gear and came to neutral and lift my leg from the neutral. bike was running like a blak stallion. 'hotel california' was again on my lips. donno why my eyes halted on a gal who was comin on her bike... gal at the middle of nite!! damn with these pubs X(. or she is coming from work may b workin for a call centre. attitude man. gals are not sub-ordinates in any way to guys. everywhere they r giving such a gud fight. bhanu is goin to US. great man. good days are not so far!! but one thing is there... The night draws stars and women in a better light ;o). we collectively gonna lead 'em in the west. and then i saw the place where i went into the guy who was dancing on the middle of the road with the cellphone in his hand. aah forget that. why the hell i want to spoil such beautiful nite like this!! i went to the gas station on the other side of the road. drove some distance in the wrong direction of the one way. i dont care rules in day light. who cares 'em in nite?? after a couple of hummings ( u want me to specify?? summer of 69 and nee navvu cheppindi naatho...) i reached the apartments. the guard was gazing at me. sorry boss i din meant to wake u up, its became a habit to blow the horn at turnings!! donno why i did that but... i took cloth from sridhar's bike and cleaned my bike. went to room and found everyone sleeping. even KP was sleeping. took out a pyjama and din even bothered to bath. i saw the poster that veena gave on sunday. its 3 days but i cudnt find time to paste it to wall. 12:40 was the time. wuts new?? its as perfect as daily schedule. wake up at 8 n sleep at 1. It's a sin to go to bed on the same day you get up. there is meeting vth appaji from TCS n radha krishna. a good sleep is wut i need. tomarrow is a new plan. new program to execute. gcc life &. put an & at the end and make the life as a background process.
