I am nervous, a bundle of super excited nerves, anticipation bubbling and brewing on top of my mind . Today is 'the day' I had been waiting for a long time. Today I shall get all my answers and the ultimate secret of life. I have to finish my shift or I would be the last one to join.
When I saw the advertisement , I did not not believe the possibilities, but here I am ready to have a tete-a-tete with all these biggies. Whats the use of technology if you cant attempt the impossible. It took me 3 weeks to decide the 5 personalities with whom I wanted to "connect". Today I will have my own private 20 questions with them. May be now you can share my excitement.
As soon as I reached home I was faced with dilemma of what to wear, considering the grandeur of my guests today I could not be seen in a drab jeans, t-shirt. And to top that one of the guest has been my crush since eternity. Before I could make myself presentable my phone started whirring crazy.
GOD-Kiddo you cant be late when you decide to have a chat with me. I have work to do, now dont sit on your lazy ass and come here.
ME-Arent you supposed to be all gentle, calm and patient.
GOD- Aah!! another moronic assumption about me. You seriously think I could manage this chaotic hell of a world by being patient or calm. You see this Macbook Air, I have purchased it recently to organize my chores. Pretty mean machine this is!!
ME- You purchased it?? You could have snapped your fingers and got it for free..is'nt that how it happens.
SHAHRUKH KHAN- Dont worry senorita, bade bade deshon me aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hai...
ME-Oh my god, you are actually here, and this is so cool , you seem so close and real ...(I was blushing already and he could see me)
GOD-(rolling his eyes) Listen kiddos I dont have all day to listen to this Love-Guru so ratsy are you ready to shoot your queries..
ME- Sure, but all of them are not connected there are 2 more to follow..;
GOD- Okay, but then you guys have to smoke up the pot with me..
SHAHRUKH KHAN- This is unexpected...It wont go well with my reputation..I have a daughter you see..she wont like it...
GOD-Stop with the hypocrisy you fool, dont tell me you have stopped smoking infront of her, coz seeing the promos of your Chennai Express I can only imagine the packs you have devoured.
MOTHER TERESA-Be faithful in small things , it is in them your strength lies.
ME- Aah!! The person I was waiting for...
GOD- stop lying infront of me, You are forgetting I can read minds...You were waiting eagerly for SRK to turn up..(Rolls up a joint and takes a drag)
SHAHRUKH KHAN- I knew senorita , you were waiting for me, isnt it?? Kya karu ladkiyan aksar mujhe apna dil de baithti hain, hmmm.(magically the joint appears in his hands)
I was getting exasperated, I wanted to ask so many questions, so many ideas I had to discuss, and here they are discussing there own philosophies, getting baked like any thing. I wasnt expecting Mother Teresa to smoke, but she was the most enthusiastic smoking like a pro. May be God had something else in mind, may be he was just playing with me. But I still had hope, as the 4th person I had invited for this is Danielle Steele, may be she brings about a semblance to the party.
DANIEL STEELE- Ratsy, you realize that some people are not meant to stay in your life, they are just a fleeting moment in your life, now you may wanna hold on to that moment and get stuck in it, or you might wanna move on.
that was my moment of truth, this was something I had in my mind to discuss with her and God ofcourse. Then I looked at my screen, God was smirking behind the joint and the quirkiness of the moment had me smile too. He had read my mind and was answering my questions through other people.
ME- If you know what I want to ask each one of you, you might be knowing the 5th person I wanna chat with , but I have no inkling whether its possible or not.
SRK- agar dil se kisi cheez ko paane ki khwahish karo, to puri kaaynaat use tumse milaane ki koshish karegi.
DANIEL STEELE- Sometimes if you are not sure about something, you just have to jump down from the bridge and grow wings on your way down.
ME- Thats not the case with me, I guess I have passed the phase of wishing and hoping. Its about how to deal with the loss. The absence which is sharpening the feelings every second, the memories haunting...
MOTHER TERESA-I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
GOD- Listen kiddo, I can tell you only one thing, I have seen it all, I have brought it all, I know you have had it tough, but I also know you have the strength and thats why the pain. You have never let me down, and if I wouldnt be stoned I wouldnt have told you this, but you are doing fine till date and will be alright.
SRK- I am supposed to be an expert on the topic you wanted to discuss, but let me tell you just one thing its difficult what you did. And you dont need to find happiness outside, just look for it in right places.
DANIEL STEELE- If you can see the magic in a fairy tale, you can face the future.
MOTHER TERESA- child you are a reflection of god, (god rolled his eyes at that, and I caught him doing that) and you shall behave like him, be generous, be giving and you shall receive.
GOD- i wouldnt go as far as to compare you with me, but be brave, forget the past..stop worrying about the future and you will be alright..now take up the joint and attain nirvaana.
Now I couldnt refuse God his wish, so I smoked....and suddenly the whole gang appeared infront of me, SRK flirting with Mother Teresa, Daniel Steele chatting up With god as if they were long lost buddies, and then the 5th person I wanted to be a part of this conversation appeared...may be I was hallucinating, may be it was all my imagination, may be all of it was my imagination, but there he was..and all I wanted to do was ask just one question, where did I falter?? What was my fault?? I saw him mumbling something but it was inaudible.. he tried to hold my hand but was fading slowly, and then I saw GOD smiling a calm one. May be it is time to let go, may be its time to heal...the scars will be there but they will be a reminder of letting the expectations go and be happy..After ages I am feeling sleepy and I just want to close my eyes,..its time to sleep and dream new dreams...
