A Play of Five Seconds

A glimpse was all it took, for her to recognize that the play had begun. Petite memoir marionettes danced away on the soft plump cushion of her brain, probing her, forcing her to remember the previous shows. Surprised, she stood, failing to grasp the swiftness of events that formed before her eyes.

Five seconds were simply not enough.

There stood the lead actor, who was oblivious to the entire world before him, performing his role with such confidence and poise that she was left dumbfounded. He knew people admired him, yearned to emulate him. He had created a completely different ground for himself that set him apart from the rest; for he knew where his destination lay and what road he was to follow. She was amazed at this self-assurance, and she watched every single wave and flick of the actor, making careful notes in the corner of her mind.

Yet, there was no applause for such a short play. No record that it ever took place. It was on an unknown stage, performed in front of an unconscious audience, under one watchful eye…

It was simply a play of five seconds.

What Had Once Occured...


A parched desert it was thought to be,
The ample water they had failed to see.
The saline liquid blocked by the fragile wall,
Prepared to rupture at a swift storms call.

The salty stream would then flow upon,
The broken earth, from dusk to dawn.
An awful catastrophe, everything is undone,
Yet it would dissolve as quickly as it had come.

This desolate terrain the travelers now evade,
Knowing well their misfortune if they stayed.
The marks of the tragedy once occured,
Never spoken about, not even a word.

The wastes of the event still do remain,
A scar never faded, tried to obliterate in vain.
It was a matter of getting accustomed to,
Helpless humans, nothing they could do.

"Could be much worse"-was their belief,
In this unsettling thought lay their sole relief.
They were thankful for what they were given,
For their aimless lives, they went on living.

"Hum Tum"- "Yeh zindagi bahut lambi hai, aur hamare paas waqt bahut kam hai"

I was watching Hum Tum last weekend, and I fell in love with the movie all over again. I know, its a complete chick flick, but I loved every minute of it. It was so funny! Especially, the "Hum Tum" cartoons... they are adorable! Saif Ali Khan was hysterical... Just as hysterical as he was in Dil Chahta Hain. And Rani Mukherjee was the beautiful lady she always is... So here are a couple of "Hum Tum" comics that I got in the email that I would like to share with everybody... Hope you enjoy it. And if you can, watch the movie too! :-)

About Me!

To escape from the humdrum existence people call "life", I explore the jungle of my mind. A meandering path, with thoughts as my obstacles. I put aside the smiling face of my mother, snapshots of holidays with friends, lost memories of my childhood... All in an attempt to find answers to my branching questions.
