Brain Tease
"The whirring AC, ticking clock,
Itch in the side burn, Chill on the ear edge
Temperature of the AC-26 degrees, A fan logo beside it."
Night turning into day, fingers on the guitar strings
They are of a Girl, No older,.. of a Woman
a Ring on the index finger, A smile calling to look at her face,
She is an aunt, I saw when about 15 yrs old
Charming red Face, Black hair, An orange curtain in the background

A very old one, I'm in a defence quarter
A wardrobe full of books, large box like TV with a VCR.
The TV Has a reflection of a mosquito net.

"It was 12 in the Night and I.."

The mosquito net is wrapped into a square. Many kids around me.
all sitting in Padmasan. Oil lit lamps in the Centre of the hall.
Let your thoughts stop - says the teacher, My classmate dozes off.
I laugh within, But actually want to laugh out loud.
covering my pillow. I freely laugh loudly.

"..wanted to fall asleep, But my.."

he still makes me laugh more. Only a single Front tooth instead of two, My cousin has the ame teeth.
Shaved head almost to the skin, closes the door and curtain.
Bro, let's dance, My Mom won't hear, he said. I play a girl's song.. And laugh..and laugh.. Falling off the bed.
Same song, A college girl danced on the stage. She was worth look.
Ooh, her eyes. sparked, like a movie character.
yeah I remember, Her slim fingers, put the falling hair strands behind the ear.
Yeah, They are really hard to draw with a pencil.
fingers are the toughest. The index and Middle fingers..
2 Hands beautifully drawn on a single page, He looks up at her. Girls in Paris, really like to be drawn - He says.

It's some real good sketches for a guy like you.. she says. The Beautiful Rose - Kate Winslet.. Pause and see her..

"Mind is just not in control.. Stop and ."

The big ship, what if it was in colour rather than black and white. Yeah! my colleague was on one such Cruise ship last year.
Now its a Big building, full of people rather than a pleasure trip. Kids sliding down swirling slides into the Pools of tehe deck.
Decorated Halls, Comedy, plays and one also has a Cabaret.
Feathers and half skirts..

" Control.. Control.. Conentrate. I said to myself.. But.."

It was a character from a movie, A boxing coach, saying to his student. Punching him once..

Concentrate your Energy - he screams. I like that hero
He struggled a lot to be successful. Many small and petty roles, before he reached here.
Those were the good days. Nowadays it's all glamour and skin show.
A hero Screaming -f*#k, Critics. on the stage. and people going crazy after him.
The ruthless curly haired reporter, asking him intimidating questions, Why were you so vulgar in the movie. always drinking Amd smoking.? she asks..
He just smiles.
He smiles just like you. said my wife.. Yeah I guess so,. We studied at the same school. I said to her.

" I just can stop my thoughts.. from.."

squishing the pillow, it's getting Harder nowadays. need to go to IKEA and buy that one.. It was so white and soft.

There are actually 2 types, soft and a bit tough. costing a 1000/- bucks each. So she never lets me buy.

I'm getting this alone next time. She can shut up.
oh!. The ego. I'll have to bear with it for 2 days. No good food and snacks at home.
It's The food delivery app, that will help.
Does it deliver McDonald's to my home. I should check. Naah later!!

It's just 5 kms away, am sure they will.
The long conversation on a group chat. Yeah! That fellow confirmed, You'd get delivery at extra charge.

Now-a-days even home services are online. Think I should call the Hair stylist home this weekend. My itchy side burns have over grown .

Tony stark look will do. Let my Boss yell.
Am too good for him to lose. Yeah these older Generation guys. just don't get it.

"jumping all around the world. Not letting.."

That's cool, keep them where they are. Like my dad.
Three days a week is a nightmare. Just wait for the tjme to pass.
Nightmare scene in the latest web series I watched was so good. It felt like real.
I thought the kid almost fell from the 15th floor terrace. Then his Mom woke up.
that how you direct a Thriller Man... No Myaaan..

It's supposed to be pronounced with a tone.. Myaaaaan.. Not just Man. that guy, Two storeys below my flat. says it really good .. Yo! Myaaan..
speaks a lot though., Nothing else.. Even when we play.
He keeps yelling, But just can't kick, compete a pass.
He should get trained, even for playing Indoor.. Ha ha ha.. That's funny.

You see those guys making trick shots on Youtube. They do wierd stuff. Block the the whole goal post except only a top corner. And keep trying to kick the ball into that small gap.

Kick with your nuckle he said. Just at the beginning of the foot. I wonder how someone does that.
May I can try. But I hate having to go and get back the ball everytime.
It's so stressful, to practice alone..

".. me fall asleep, even though I know.."

this other guys is always busy although he plays so well. He does this Software development thing. sounds cool but is like a bug in the juice.
Can't decide whether to throw the whole juice away, or pick the bug out and gulp it up..
The cafe in the city, makes them really well. In a tall skilly glass that just fits in my hand. put the straw aside and drink it directly.. Ummm So.. Ummamish and Thick and sweet... Never had such a thing ever.
Even the sweetened buttermilk - They call it Lassi. . Oooh. Up north is the best place to have one.,

The guy in turban took me home.once.. Blue, green, black turbans all around.. The one in White.. They are are old guys..
Their houses are a chaos. Can't even imagine what privacy can mean there.. Someone or other keeps running around the house all day
We see that only in marriages here.. So many people at one place.

I was so busy at my sister's wedding. Almost 4 sleppless days. Always going around the market to fetch something or other.

"I need to wake up early tomorrow.. Control.."

My sweet aunt, she cared for me nothing less than my Mom. It's ok. I loved helping her.. Hope she's doing well. it's been years since we got to meet and talk..

" ok.. Control.. cool.. concentrate.. Aaaaargggghh"..

It's Salman Khan, Half moustache. holding up against 4 taller guys.. Shirt almost torn, ready to fall off.
This fellow will never make a movie without showing off his Abs. I too had good Abs once.
Have to get them back.
it's all converted into fat again. long after I left gymnastics after school. I don't have a photo to keep a memory of my 6-pack Abs.. Should get them back.

Heard, there's an App you can develop them at home,
so all the apps on my phone are scrolling across. and I stop at the services app I was talking about earlier..

I should install this new fitness app maybe tomorrow

" .. This AC is so noisy. Not letting me sleep."

"So I pick my phone up. Open the services App.
- Book an AC service
- When? - Tomorrow aaa... 3, .. 3.30,.. No 4.. 4pm is perfect ..
- Booked.. I'll sleep peacefully tomorrow onwards.."

"Now throw the phone at the Far end on the Bed and sleep..."I said to myself.

"Tik. tok. tik tok.. tik tok.. It was around 12:30 am.. I forcibly concentrated on the ticking clock and held my eyes shut. Ten minutes later, I fell Asleep."
