the danseuse




Something that you cannot touch…but it touches you…something you can’t see…but something you can feel…something that gives you immense pleasure…real…that warms you…chills you…makes you cry…makes you smile…makes you Alive…? Gives you a reality…your reality…which despite being unreal makes you real…which calls out to you…at all times of the day…urging …tempting…threatening …scolding …begging …knowing…
“Come…come away with Me…just this once…won’t ask you to come again…I kno you need Me…I kno you want Me…I kno you want to come with Me…I don’t need you…I have many waiting for Me…but I m waiting for you…come…”
“I m inside you…I m outside you…I m all around you…I m You…we are one…no one can separate us…we are together forever…no one can ever come between us...”
“Come on…you think I will wait for you forever… am here just for the moment…will be gone before you can even breathe out…” “My love…take a look at the world…our world…through my eyes…the rain…calling out to us…the flowers smiling at us…the birds chirping at us…the sky waiting for us…the trees waving at us…the wind moving with us…the grass looking up to us…can you still ignore Me…my wait for you…your need for Me? Can you really?? Do you forget the time we had together…the laughter…the smiles…the tears…the cries? The pain… the sorrow…your promise to meet Me tomorrow?”
“It wasn’t easy to spend the night waiting for you…you kno I like you better than quite a lot of those people around you…you are better than many of those I have been with…n I kno we can achieve greater heights…with our love for each other…I kept of thinking of it all the whole night…and I kno you have been doing the same…dreaming of Me…dreaming of Us…is it not?? You kno you can’t lie to me…I kno you are thinking of Me all the time…even when you are engaged in doing some other things of your world…but you can’t be away from Me for long…can u now?? Come on …look at yourself…you are dying to be with Me…come…come away with Me”
His tempting…tantalizing words get to me…hypnotize me…beckon me to runaway…runaway with Him…I rise…n lose myself completely into it…into Him…forgetting the world in the ecstasy…of Him and me…the happiness…the joy…the celebration of love…between Him and me…the heartbreak…the death…the “birha” …the wait…for Him in me…the rain…the sun…the fields…the river…the hills…the animals…the fog…the mist…the intense cold…n just Him and me…the crowds absent…n just Him and me…His inspiration…and Him in me…within me…my Heart…my Blood…my Veins…my Eyes…my Soul…my Love…my Life…
I kno that You will not leave me…forsake my need for You…You will come to me when I need You…n when You want me…You know I will be waiting…waiting for You…waiting for Us…You…my Master…my Dance…me Your slave…Your Danseuse...

the mind reader




Is there something… or rather someone known as the mind reader?? The whole concept itself sounds a bit eerie….doesn’t it??? And why not?? Each one of us have skeletons in our cupboards… don’t we?? How would you like to be stripped naked before one and all… ok… chalo let’s forget everybody else… even a single person… Just imagine..!!! (Jab We Met effect ). It does sound funny when you are an audience…not when you are the performer… and that too…a reluctant one…and specially… the unprepared one… all your secrets…that u would rather die than reveal… all out in the open…like the bloody entrails of a pig…pulled out… now why the hell did I choose a pig for an example?? Why the HELL?? Well…chuck it… how do I bother??!!


Anyways… you with me…right??? So where was I… oooooooo yea…so… people…a mind reader on the loose… what do you have to say for it?? Stop looking for places to hide… cause he will get you anywhere you are… he’s not only a mind reader but also a human detector… who follows Dr. Sadana’s laughter therapy… always invents a new one liner for every victim…that’s his specialty ( yes… his kind specializes as well…!! All the more cause for concern…!!! ) the one liner’s, howmuchever pathetic are soooooooo irresistibly laughter initiators… that you cannot help but laugh at them… and there u are..!! He finds you….within seconds...even before you can blink your eyes…!! How is it possible you say?? Well… you have to see it to believe it…


So anyways… he finds you… and then … you look around helplessly… wordlessly mouthing for “HELP” that never comes… he starts talking… nothing more than the usual stuff… “Hi…wsp?? Howwz evrythn goin??” and there… he sets the trap for you… how you answer… what you answer… the manner in which you answer (with or without darting eyes… sweating hands… wistful look…) whatever, however you do it… he’ll b looking…analyzing… his mind would be whirring with all the possibilities that your behavior could offer to him… picking out the one that is the correct…or rather the more appropriate, to be exact… because you kno… mind is a strangely magnanimous creation of God… overpowered by none but… the faithful…honest… innocent…emotional…yet strong…HEART… (The POWER is YOURS…! sorry couldn’t resist that one...! :P) so how can a mere mortal obtain precise details of something that sacred??
You still with me na?? Beginning with the aforementioned line again…how can a mere mortal obtain soooooooo many intricate details of some things that have eluded whole generations of scientists and the like… all over the world????!!!! Well you’ll have to contact the person in question for the answers… but we can sure try and find something by the very old….tried and tested formula of HIT and TRIAL method (yes the very same one by which we were supposed to calculate all those absurd chemical formulae…) so…


No. 1- is he also a very sensitive person?? Well he has to be… otherwise how can he be sensitive towards all the various human emotions and feelings…??


No 2- has he undergone some incident in the past??? Something traumatic or something that left a huge impression on his mind (which is in fact like a sponge...the mind i.e.)…maybe…because there are some things in life that shock you into changing as a person…for the better or for the worse…depending on the circumstances…they also force into you certain abilities…qualities if u say it…that of identifying disaster from a mile away…of calming down as a person… of becoming carefree n hassle free…of taking out more from every minute of life that you have to yourself…of bonding with everyone…or Reading Minds…


No.3- did he hone those skills within him over the years… for his own personal benefit… to protect himself from falling into a trap?? (Any kinda trap…now don’t bug me for silly reasons…!)… Could be definitely the answer…because there’s always the human tendency of FRIGHT,FLIGHT and FIGHT… where the adverse situations that we face determine our reaction…which becomes a part of us…a habit…


No.4- did he really… n I mean… really really ask for it?? Who knows??


So…my dear mind reader… I tried reading your mind… but perhaps…as I said…special abilities for each…Reading for 1…and Writing for the other…isn’t it…??? By the by…dear Mr. Mind Reader…don’t take an offence of whatever I said…or rather wrote about you…for the rest of you…this particular specimen here (don’t know about the rest of the breed…) is not a detached Reader (like the nature of his ability makes him out to be…)… in fact he’s as I mentioned earlier…sensitive towards the feelings of the “chosen ones” (i.e. his victims) and, unlike what he seems to b, he’s definitely the caring kind…and he’s the total hardcore Metro kinda guy…with the Christ and the Judas….rolled in2 one...now you say..What’s new in that?? I’ll tell u what… he has both in him…but is not ashamed to admit the presence of either in him…whichever takes precedence…he carries off his part with aplomb…n pride, which in fact is rare….very very rare…:) he’s not afraid of anything (leaving aside a few other matters)… he is Jonathan Livingston Seagull…trying and testing everything that the world has to offer to him…hunting for more adventures in life… “Life is too short to live…” he says… trying to master things more than his Reading capabilities…restricting himself with nothing but perfection…but as someone said “perfection ko maat dena thoda difficult hai...” (Wasn’t it Aamir Khan of Dil Chahta Hai?? Or rather…Aakash...?)…isn’t it …Mr. Mind Reader…??!! Hmmm….??
