Tell them I went home cause it was getting dark...

When I reached home, it was 3.00 pm and I was hungry. I only had a couple of bread with jam in the morning and I got up early. On top of that, on the previous night we drank whiskey, so slept late. It happens when the house is all for yourself. While putting the food in the microwave I noticed the wall clock above the dining table was not working. Actually it was ticking but was showing time of probably some other place. It showed 3 hrs less than the right time. The weather was good. With chilly breeze in presence of soft sun rays. Oh, I had a beer then. Took a bath. Ate lunch. Smoked a cigarette.

I was nervous. In the evening I was scheduled for a dinner with a girl from the past. That also in some posh restaurant. I was checking my spoken English and was making sure I kept the debit card in my purse now and then. Then I had a beer. Slept for an hour.

I canceled my martial art class in the evening, for which I originally took the day off from office. Nearly at 5.30 when she canceled the diner I was too late for the class. I missed it. I really should have been there. The mistake has taken its toll 'again'. Let me have a beer. Why have I not stocked some whiskey! I made a note to get some for the night. Later she said how sorry she was etc.. Probably we are going to exchange some more "sms" ( how I take to the things which I hate so much!). I remembered a song by Bee Gees "I started a joke, which started the whole world crying...But I didn't see, that the joke was on me..."

Nowadays probably there are no night time here. Yesterday, the light and the darkness used to have it in shifts, but probably light became greedy. Night used to shelter the dark. Kept it under control. It had its empire where it ruled peacefully. But slowly light invaded its empire. Drove him to corners, alleys and other small pockets. There it learned to lurk. Wounded it learned to become evil. Became a pervert who due to void of human bodies finds sex only in pornographic disc. Without an empire he forgets that he was also a king .

In a peaceful night in an open field under the big sparkling dome which was the sky, people don't lie down to see the beauty. They nudge there friends beside them, longing to go home. Because its dangerous. The horizon always stays in a yellow glow. Showing the fresh open wound of the night.


Epilogue- SMS continues. She takes the 8.18 am metro everyday. I am to attend my martial art class tomorrow morning at 9.00 am. Its fine by me even if I take the metro which comes after 8.18 am. But tomorrow lets catch the 8.18 am metro. The whiskey? Dump the remaining portion, I already had enough. The Earth is round, it goes round and round, so whats the problem if sometimes we also go round and round and round and...
