We three...

My echo...

Slowly the cracking sounds of the dry leaves died out and I got a feel of the rocky ground I was walking on...only sounds remained were that of wind and the last rays of the setting sun getting reflected after striking on the sharp edges of the uneven rocks...

"Is there any one around? Can any one hear me?"...ear me?...r me?...r me?...me...e?...e?...e?” Words kept on bouncing till they lost all their energy in the roughness of the rocks and died out.


My shadow...

I saw him standing in front of the mirror with the same old tool box.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Can't you see? Trying to fix a smile!"

"What a big job that is?"

"Why don't you help me out? I have been trying for past one hour. But some how none of the smiles are looking good on my face?"

I got busy with the screw driver...fixing different curves on the face, to fix the smile that looks perfect...after struggling for one hour more I also realised, it's not as simple as it seems...now it was time for me to be irritated, "But why do you want to fix it at all?"

"I need to do it."

"But why?"

"I need to be happy?"

He threw me a look that meant "No more questions" and got busy again...

and me...

a sudden surge of light, as if I was under a spot light...warmth that formed a blanket sheltering me from the piercing winter chill...I dozed off...

I woke up, shivering in the cold, to realise it was gone...left no trace except for the bright flash that I caught through the mind's eyes and the sensation of coziness...

What was that?

A UFO perhaps!

Now waiting for the time my eyes gets adjusted to the darkness around...

SAYONARA!

"Yuji San! Are you happy?" asks Frank. (San is the Japanese equivalent of Mr.). Yuji looks at the space in front in a meditative mood (as if he is trying to work out whether he is happy or not). Then he draws a typical big Japanese smile on his face that reflects extreme happiness and shake head heavily, "Yes, Yes"(the second yes to confirm the first yes). This would set all five of us into a roaring laughter. This was the second time I met with Frank. He is 67 and a manager of a European auto giant. He works till 2 O'clock in the night (!) and gets up at 6 in the morning. In spite of that I have never seen him dozing off on a ride as long as four hours. I also have never heard him raising his voice to express dissatisfaction. His silence was enough to set all of us into motion to correct what ever mistake made or occurred. However his voice shakes everything around when he is happy, when he laughs. Yuji is an engineer. As it happens with almost all Japanese, Yu...

I AM WATCHING YOU...

It's the talk of the office now. We are uneasy, working under the ever-inspecting eyes of the cameras installed at the corners of the office floors. Bloody intruders! “What they are trying to convey?" "Simply that you are under scanner. So you are to ensure that you are maintaining the decorum of the office." "But was that not the way things were going in the office before? I have never heard some one doing something unwarranted in the office space." "Why have you forgotten that walls elevators were converted to graffiti boards?" "Some one with a freaky mind must have done that but that does not mean that you will indict every one for that incident." "Why do not you just ignore them? If you are doing nothing that is questionable, why should you bother about those cameras? You will just get familiar to it in a few days." Logically it's true. Unless you are not wrong, you need not worry about the laws and restrictions. But ho...
