The Eternal Journey

It's time for the birds to sing a goodmorning song for everyone,blossoms to give a smile to all,sunlight to take persmission from the fog to take it's place, people to think it's not time yet to get out of bed..lemme sleep a bit more..and LOOOK AT ME ...what am I doing......speeding my way through the crowd of morning walkers on the pavement on my legs thinking would I make it on time or not ..would I miss the cab even today ??? Y don't I get up a bit early...and then a sigh of relief ....a cab painted white and yellow ..written Kennametal waiting for me ....
Namaskara Sir ....meeru late (namaste sir.. you are late) this is wat the driver had to say ...gettin my usual remark at exactly 6:25 AM (5 mins late :D), I now feel normal. Taking the seat next to the driver ...opening the glass pane which allowed me to look at poor chaps with the same destiny as me {waiting for their cabs}, gave me huge sigh of relief...
Cutting its way through the morning breeze, treading on the huge 100 feet wide black snake, steering itself carefully among the heavy traffic, passing besides huge edifices my cab is now on INNER RING ROAD....
Everything seems to pleasant at this juncture. I find myself getting trasported into new world benedicted with pleasure, beauty and peace of mind. I just turn back only to find myself amazed. She was standing just next to me. we took a walk to get to the most beautiful place on earth. Sitting on the rock here I could see a stream of gently trying to make it's way out of the brocade of flowers covering the valley floor. It was breathtaking. Holding my breath for a few moments which seemed to have lasted a lifetime, I wanted to get drowned in those innocent eyes which always take every pain on earth away from me. With my heart lurching to the tune of the cold breeze which begeted it's way to slight drrizle, I wanted to spend my whole life there. Taking away the bliss of solitude of the valley, the drizzle brought with itself fog which engulfed the whole scenery leaving nothing but a neverending envelope of cloud around us. I at this moment was in a UTOPIA where my dreams were to materialize.
Then suddenly ...something rammed us from behind...DHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSHHHHH....before I could notice I was thrown out of my place into a glass pane. This left me annoyed ..thinking "whats this glass window doing in front of this beautiful valley." Then to my amazement I could see a COP asking ARE YOU ALRIGHT ....Befuddled ..i was thinking ..whether or not to defy the dream or come back to reality. But everyone is a puppet in the hands of destiny ...so I had to realize that ...the UTOPIA was a dream amd that the reality is
my Cab was rammed by a LORRIE from behind and I was hurt on my forehead and was bleeding. Whatelse could happen now....but I never expected this ....an AC ambulance ...which was absolutely unncessary .....taking me to MALLYA hospital which was the nearest...
But the coda of that whole drama was very soothing...The doc gave me letter calligraphed on it ...complete bed rest for 3 days...hurrrayy.......

Finally I was in UTOPIAN situation :D

saying...GOOD MORNING in their own way...

Breaking the eternal silence of my sleep, disturbing the soothing ambience in my dreams he was shouting at the top of his lungs....Bangalore ....Majestic..Bangalore Majestic ....Now ...I woke up. Hesitatingly, never wanting to give up the comfort of the the italian VOLVO seat No 5-A ...managing to get hold of my luggage I got down. Never knowing what was I gettin into, I walked a bit.
Then first - my left pocket, right pocket ..my wallet.. my bag .....then my suitcase...my hands went through all the places of my body they could go through..only to make me realize that I had lost the address of my relatives..Then came to my rescue ...my mobile....But Almighty wasn't satisfied with the sceraio yet...so it was time for my 2 inch Liquid Crystal Display of my mobile to show "low battery" finally a sound tiditiditidi...IT swithced off.
Turning all around myself I could find an ocean of people walking in perfect arrythymatic manner so as to be sure not to be without disturbing others, not to help others, busy in themselves with a chain in their hand (ofcourse of their doggy), some with a hand of thier counterparts (lucky chaps). Finally I could find a my soul saviour - the STD ..thank GOD ....I hurried in with a priceless expression of relief on my countenance...my fingers did the rest..then ..beep beep beep ...and then TRIN TRIN TRIN. Now the SUN of troubles seemed to make its way into the dusk of the teliphone ring and the dawn of solutions seemed to luminate my face. But my destiny made me realize the delta G of the both the above mentioned reactions was positive...so I had to listen from my mom "DADDY LERU" (dad isn't there) and "NAAKU ADDRESS TELIYADU"(i dont know the address) Dumb struck by news I wished her and said a BYE. At this juncture, with the look of "why coudn't he talk a bit more" the STD fellow said 12 Rs....I finally had to part with all the change I had..
Now it was the time for the JUDGEMENT DAY...trusting my 400 gms little, rusted, hibernating brain for its memory which could barely recapitulate.."Banshankari.stage 3...terrace garden apts" Trusting something which i had never before I (my memory) I went to the so called Public Servants...but for me they were devils personified..the Indian Auto Drivers...Thinking atlest situation seemed to be normal for those fellows ...I spelt out my address..they suddenly I was given a dreaded look..saying ..Don't Disturb I am busy reading newspaper...my destiny took me a second fellow ..who was of the opinion that ...my place is too far for him to drive me there..so he simply said ...."NAI NAI ..main nahin aaaunga".....With my hearts in my boots, wading through the neck deep troubles i ambulated my way to the third fellow...Now I could hear only numbers ..200..190....170...and finally the score seem to settle for 150 ....I got in..then suddenly when everything seemed to fall back to normal ...there was again a havoc ...you have luggage ...i need 20 more....Overshadowed by the thick cloud of numbers round me I said OK chalo.....later I realized that - I had said a YES to the seemingly normal but highly abnormal daily chorus, I had put a very big ask for my wallet contents of which were hypothicated to DAD, I continued the tradition of first timers at BANGY.....
This is my most memorable GOOD MORNING wish I had ever got...
