The Soulful Atom

Some of this was jotted down almost a year back.. But it got lost in my old cell phone.. Found it now so thought of putting it on.. The questions however are a latest addition.. Might even be irrelevant..

On your way back home from work. tired and drained, with that tedious pending report on your mind, the heap of household chores awaiting your attention over the weekend.. Do you notice the couple passing by on a rusty old bike.. Carefree, engrossed in a lively conversation punctuated with laughter and surrounded by a surreal glow.. Unaware of the whole world around them.. The worry that haunt other people into sleepless nights.. Does it wipe off all the worries in the world and slap you in the face with the loneliness that anchors in your heart? Does it take you back to your apartment, weaved of dreams now covered with a thin layer of dust and moss of work and survival worries and the fact that there is no one around.. Or maybe someone who is there just for the heck of it.. Maybe someone who used to lighten up your world by just being there.. Is it a game that time and life play with each other.. Tossing us around as pawns? How many times in life do you see that one stranger and feel a shiver go down the spine? How many times do we make the effort to reach out? Do go back and think about it again? Why not? Why do we let ourselves get comfortable with pain, or with things which do not have the magic left in them.. Do we let the magic die? Do we even try to bring it back..Why are we afraid of change? When unknowingly everything around us is changing.. and everything within us too!! We fail to notice the small changes and then when the full fact hits us we think how and when the hell did this happen!! It happened when we were so engrossed in taking care that things don't change, wen we left comfortable in the same old cake which has lost its taste, and the champagne which has grown weak n warm..


Seems very incomplete but then there are many things that sound better left incomplete..
