Angel

I said she was beautiful,
some body in the crowd seconded my opinion.
I was amazed by the attention she was recieving.
Even as eloquent as sheakspeare might have groped for right words to dileneate her beauty.Her intoxicating eyes might let any compulsive drunkard off the ground without gulping even a sip.The pattern with which the hair was falling on her face can be compared to a trained musician playing an instrument hitting right chords.Her charm was cause to be enamored.I was spellbound by her smile.The very sight of hers was causing orgasmic delight.unable to withstand the stir of emotions created ,I mustered enough courage to walk accross the room and talk to her.There was stillness in air.Though my body was finite my mind wasn't , I couldnot resist thinking of wildest & craziest about her.She was hardly 100 feet away but overhauling them was never easy.The poignant anxiety of mine was apparent...She is now close enough to me for an amorous embrace.I said " I am ......." breaking all the uncertainity in my mind .Thunder in my voice caught awares of atleast few people.I could discern that she was shocked .She regained her composure & replied gracefully.She put her hand forward as an inviatation to shake it, i acknowledged her with a deft touch.The event of coming in contact with her was resembling a dream.My brain stopped responding , it became insensible ,it can be compared to mere lifeless tissue. The happiness was vivid & clear, though short lived as customary time for shaking hands has ended.I tried to listen as much as she has to say and replied promptly when I was supposed to be.I was acting like a trained englishmen who has mastered etiquette.I started feling comfortable and there was lot of energy flowing between each of us.everything was natural, People who have gathered there might have felt we knew each other for a long time.
I was cursing my luck for not having a glimpse of hers all these years.I had a look at the big clock hanging to the wall.Each swing of pendulum was making me scared & fear of losing this moment of beauty & rejoice was palpable.I have asked her if she would mind giving me her mobile number.I wished she wouldnot reject with contempt.She asked me to note down & I found she was in hurry ..may be the time is over for the party.With utmost care & attention I started pressing the keypad of mobile ..with each numerical getting displayed on the screen I have started sensing the
comfort I had in remembering this number ..Goshhhh I knew this number ,when i hit enter I can see my close buddy's name getting displayed on the screen.I disconnected the call & coulnot believe this ....bewildered and confounded I tried to stand still.I saw my angel luaghing at my innocence .A tall dark handsome man was giving her company none other than my friend.It was their betrothal day-the day when they made promise to marry.I have luaghed off with ease and rendering sincere apologies to my dear friend in my mind & kept going.......SURELY SHE WAS AN ANGEL BUT NOT MINE.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

They said I was ' Great ',
They confirmed I was ' really great '.

Being true admirer of my own achievements I felt they were indeed right.Soon I started my journey to destination unknown.
Days passed like flutterings of birds....seasons changed unmindful of my ability to cope up with its grace ..Years rolled like feeble pebbles unable to withstand flow of mighty river. I was tired , stood for a while gasping for breath ..asked them " Isn't Life beautiful " ? I waited in vain for acknowledgement. I thought they didnot hear me. I asked them again ....Silence prevailed. I was assured the very moment that I was no more leading them. I was scared to be alone , I ran all the way back in search for ' THEM '.I failed to find even a hint of trace.The pain of losing them was agonising.I wondered when have I started attaching significance to love and bonding.Though perturbed by the proceedings I started my journey to the destination unknown again having ordered my heart not to get bothered about earthly pleasures.

Calenders on walls at my home got replaced like daily newspaper on the
table in drawing room.Meanwhile i couldnot resist myself from getting attached to few.Suddenly life looked amazing,the rudderless boat of mine found four oars to beat the waters of the sea.We sailed through.... accepted the challenges the gaint waves threw ( life ). One fine day I found SUN Rise Spectacular than never before, couldnot resist praising the warmth it gave & the purpose of sun's spreading the radiance.I called 'them' to catch the glimpse of nature's wonder.Before shouting again I waited for a reply. then I screamed my lungs out worrying they might miss this moment of beauty..........................I felt cheated.But the pain was not agonising ,neither was staying alone.I found that my heart was hardened ,insensitive to the pains & pleasures of this world.I began journey again in search of glory, fame & money....(Alone)
