Memory



“What do you think of me?”
“What?”
“What do you think? Do I look smart?”
“Why are you asking this?”
“You and I both know that you are awesomely beautiful. I look so ugly compared to you. Tell me frankly how do I look?”
“You are a very handsome man. What has happened to you today?”
“Don’t lie. See.” I pointed to the human size mirror at the side of the room. “You are so pretty. It looks like a black and white photo. You are so fair and me dark.”


“Will you shut up? You are speaking nonsense. If you any more of these rubbish things I will kill you.” She told “I kill you” in her that special tones. She looked so beautiful when angry I couldn’t help but smile.  I pulled her closer to me and gently kissed her lips. She didn’t respond. She was still angry. She brought her face nearer to mine and said softly “Why you hurt me by saying these things. You are very….” I pressed my lips over hers and we went into a deep kiss. She wrapped her arms around me and started playing with my tongue with hers. I hold her face and slowly we started getting lost in each other….


“Are you sleeping big pa?” I opened my eyes to find my 6 years old grandson near me. It’s been many years now. But still it feels like it was yesterday that I had spent the most wonderful day of my life with my first love.


He climbed into my lap and said “Are you crying big pa? Why are you crying?” The innocent look on his face filled my heart with joy. I smiled and said “No I am not crying darling. It’s just I had my eyes closed for long time so water is coming out of my eyes” I tried to hide my face and wiping the tears which had started to roll down my cheeks.


 “Let’s go for our evening walk. It’s getting dark”. I picked him up in my arms and started to walk towards the main gate.

IDENTITY ... A fight between me and my thoughts.

IDENTITY ... The story of me. Who am I?? Am I real or just an imagination of someone? Do I really exist? Is this world around me real? Or it’s just an environment provided by my imaginer? If I am real, it’s well and good. The food I eat, the things I do…really do affect me and others around me. But what if I am just a virtual person? Then what’s the use of all these activities of mine? Maybe they might also be imagined by “that” real person whose imagination I am. These were the thoughts when I saw the movie “Identity”. It totally distorted my ideas of this world and me. But with time, it faded quickly. I had forgotten it and was leading a normal life. BUT few days back, the ideas suddenly resurfaced to me. I was thinking something while I was going to my office. These thoughts led me to remember the movie again. And it should be hard to believe,(even I felt awkward later) that the thoughts affected my actions drastically. Earlier while crossing roads, I used to wait until the lane was...

Your thoughts seem to provoke ideas, Rhymes seem to reflow I am writing again Maybe deep or hollow. Who cares, why judge? At least I like it And as sure as I can be You would love to know Normal I am going to be.
