Me n My Madness – X

I was startled, perplexed and what not! I didn’t have to give my answer… everyone with common sense had sensed it. My madness had done something that wasn’t in my wildest of imaginations. But hey hold on, I said to myself. Is it real?

‘It’s a mega-project and I decided to pull you in after I saw your dance movements the other day. Your expressions could be something best suited for this role.’ Priya was the first creature of god who praised me ever. It was kind of weird and I felt she was bluffing!

‘You’ll know more about it later! Now you guys get your snacks.' She seemed very busy and pinched my chin as an indication of good luck! I didn’t believe in this luck factor throughout my life may be because I never experienced it myself. But this one made feel lucky… I had to be… otherwise how would I land up in something like this? I wanted to hug my madness.

This was a mega-budget series which involved lot of big names in the cine industry. Lots of recognizable faces were moving around me and I felt a little out of place. Just one dialogue played in the back of my mind… “One day or the other Life takes a U turn”

Yes, I said without realizing it was loud enough!

‘What can you give me for this?’ my madness asked.

‘But how did you come to know? Who brought you here? What’s this serial called? What about the crew?’ I asked endless questions and before she answered me there was Priya once again with us.

‘Do you have passport?’ she asked me in a hurry and worried almost expecting a no.
‘Yes’ I countered.
‘Oh, great! Then you can fly’ she had disappeared.

Fly to where? Are we going to Chennai or Mumbai? Or is it Delhi? I didn’t know and nor did my madness. The snacks I ate were tasteless, the drinks didn’t get past my throat… the cine girls didn’t attract me. I was about to faint!

‘One formal screening before we book your tickets. You need to grow your beard and shave your mustache.’ Priya ordered.

‘But where are we going?’ my voice nearly faded.

‘Singapore… ‘

Welcome


Howdy, Welcome to My Home!!! I call it my Sea of thoughts!
For you, here's a world to explore...

Check out the categories up there n you're in for some crazy, funny n serious stuff! Here's the gist of it ~

Fiction
Contains 2 series -
1. 'Me n My Madness' which is about a girl n boy who are college dropouts and their funny journey celebrating failure!
2. 'WANDERERS' which is a rather serious story of a man who's wandering on his way to find answers to all quests of life and his encounter with a woman who shows him his way and more!

Apart from these, there are several Short Stories too.

My World
That's about what happens around me in my life!

Poems
Of course I'm no poet but I do get poetic as I love words and am mesmerized how they were made for each other! You'll see verses in English, Hindi and on Sanskrit too!

Quotes
That's my philosophical way of looking at things, you can always disagree to agree!

Random
When I have something to say that's neither fictitious nor completely real, something crazy but surreal I clutter my thoughts here!

Review
That's my view on others' view


P.S.: Your comments should keep crash-kid alive!
