Twilight...one of those days when everything around u is swathed in an orange hue...as if a naughty boy w/ a bucketful of watery color has run around town...w/ a mammoth brush...n water-colored orange, everything n everyone in sight...
A cool breeze in the window...the coconut palms swaying...singing...lazily...
Lying on a cool smooth stony flooring...on the stomach...chin on palms...eyes following a pair of beautifully chiselled feet...anklet-laden...delicate silver slivers...clutching contentedly at those smooth soft ankles...disdainfully oblivious of that pair of envious pursuing eyes...
The feet walk delicately...as if afraid to not trample even their reflection on that smooth surface...it's sheer pleasure just following them around...wishing u cld do it forever...just gazing at those feet...walking up n down...up n down...all around...all over...playfully, even over u...giving 'trampled underneath' a whole new delicious meaning...suddenly, they stop in front of my face...those smiling pretty feet...a honeyed muffled voice...as if thru a haze..."Come-on-get-up-the-movie-starts-in-half-an-hour" ...but a finger's busy writing on those feet...the words, I-Love-You-Forever-N-Ever-N-Ever-N-Ever...soft hands ruffle my hair...I turn around...onto my back...n gaze up, to a milky white chudidaar...w/ tiiinyy light green floral prints...arms akimbo...big black eyes...playfully stern...staring...smooth silky luscious black hair trying desperately to hide a pair of dangling pearl earrings...n the face wearing a mock exasperated expression...mouthing the words, You-Are-Maddddd...trying hard to suppress a smile...but equally happy to give up...n break into a radiant smile...
34 dazzling pearls...
Suddenly milky white chudidaar kneels down...
Two tickets torn eagerly...being engulfed in a black silken smoothness...an explosion of perfume, hot fragrant breath...two sofffttt lips...n then blissfully melting, falling falling falling down a spiral...praying it's forever!

It's amazing to read what you write esp the way you write it. Poetry in motion...
So who is this white chudidaar with the anklet laden feet?
:)
Thanks Rhea, for the kind words :)
As for that white chudidaar...let's just say she's a distant fond memory...
Lovely. And I won't raise the obvious question about the identity of your muse.
But for sure this one has put me into a pensive trance.
Abs'ly smashing, mate. The seamless flow of thoughts into words is fantastic!
Thanks Anjan...
Sometimes, w/ time, memories become more potent than even the person...
N once in a while, it's a pleasure living in the past :)
Thanks Rodders...
It was just a trip down memory lane...w/ words...n it was all worth it :)
Well written,its totally great to see the way u carry the feel for long...and how the emotions bump into each other.... beautiful!!!!
Thanks Priya, it was just an effort to capture n re-live a fond memory...thru words...n the pleasure was entirely mine :)
Wish I could see what happened next :)
Looking forward to a sequel of this beautiful piece
Of moments lost in time..and relived
Thanks Rajita...
Actually sm memories r like moth-smoke...u can do it only by rushing into the flame n setting urself alight...but it's a weird sort of pleasure too :)
Let's see when I take the next plunge :)
Amazing... You write pretty well. After reading this, it has encouraged me to bookmark the blog. :) Why don't you start writing books? Even I found it interesting to read, who generally looses interest half way through a book.. :)
Thanks Nishanth for ur kind words, but to tell u the truth, I dun aspire to be a writer...for me, it's just a means to express my thoughts...
N m really glad u're getting bitten by the bookworm...once the venom takes effect, there's nothing like it ;-)
Hi Raj, saw yr comment on my sister's blog and checked out yours.The fact that some of your fav books and movies matched mine was reason enough to read your posts. Your writing is lovely..refreshing...you cant be in software, man:)
Thanks Abhi for dropping in :)
Trust me, I really m into software...see, that's how I pay my bills n buy stuff ;-)
But must admit that I do enjoy expressing myself thru writing...
As for those lists of books n movies...u've seen mine, but m yet to see urs :)
