It’s dark…pitch- black…not even a fire fly is around to show what comes in front of you…I don’t know what filled the path that I had travelled…it was wet… my feet must have got painted with mud…who cares…who’ll notice it…the darkness hides me from my own eyes…
Never before have I loved darkness so much…
I’ve lost faith in light…
and who said darkness is crooked…
indeed, you never know what is hidden in the blackness that blankets you…
is there a use if you really know…?
You do what you like and you have a reason…”I didn’t see”…you move around carelessly….least bothered about the shivering old man on the bench, because you have a reason again “I didn’t see”. All that mattered to me now was to reach there…and nothing else…
All I knew…was that…in another nook of the world someone was waiting…to hear me speak…I don’t know if she really knew why I had to stop abruptly…will she burn me when I resume, for keeping her waiting?
I had to be fast…really fast… time is running out…
perhaps
the only reason why this darkness comforts me
is because I know exactly when light will be back to fill my path…
I have to reach there before light does…
Whom should I curse?
Me? For not keeping a check on the mobile balance?
Or her for not reminding me…?
Whatever…the account balance is negative…and I can’t even make a ‘missed call’…and there is no one around to lend a cell…Yeah I’ve got to do this myself…find the nearest shop where I can get a top-up for my phone…
The scarcity of power in Kerala has very well succeeded in making ‘darkness’ romantic…!!!
Power cut spreads silence…and silence is dangerous…even murmurs are audible without stethoscopes…
Within the next few minutes I will find the shop…and in the brim light of a candle I will ask the shop keeper for an ‘easy charge’
…as soon as my account gets recharged…I will ring her…
and she would say “back in charge ha”…
and I would say “I am back dear…and where did we stop?”
Another couple of minutes will pass…
and power will be back…after having kept a whole street in the dark for thirty minutes…
