Solid, Liquid, Gas and Stoned


The smell fills your nose before eyes catch sight of those yellowish dark walls and the flaming burner. Calmly burning on LPG flame it spits the energy that burns the asbestos sheet and burning quiet asbestos sheet passes it on to the beaker. The upright standing burner.

The dark one by one cubic centimetre cube is small but evident even from distance. Heating up. You take a peep inside and it takes you way beyond the external crude appearance of the cube into the molecular structure of it. Molecules combing in cohesion with each other, peaceful fitting into the fishbone structure, beyond and why’s and how’s. Solid.

The smell tips off your nose much before you see the green. You push the door open and walk in. Open plastic pouch and the spread clean white paper. Some transparent papers around and the matchbox. Parked where they are supposed to be. Hands move at the brisk pace emptying the tobacco and crushing it. The green makes you want to take a peep inside. And you see beyond the crumpled leaves, irritating seeds and the stiffened stem. You know this is it beyond any why’s and how’s. Solid yet.

The heat isn’t unbearable but just about enough for particles to unsettle. Move around, unsettle the structure and rupture principles of physical dynamics and chemistry. They move, reaching to the state where the energy they posses is beyond control. Is beyond to hold them back, and just before they lose the energy, they break lose. Liquid.

Music pours into your ears just as the liquid fills up the empty glasses. Hands moving even more swiftly and pushing the crushed substance inside. You roll. The music rolls. Smell still continues to fill your nose. Loosening your reflexes and inhibitions. Liquefying your stuck thoughts, breaking down the walls and pounding down your inhibitions. Liquid.

Asbestos seems to be on the verge of giving up but it holds on. Beaker shivers, threatening to break but goes on. Liquid molecules can’t hold it back. The shake the beaker further. Threatening it further to break and empower themselves to break-free. State they’ve never seen. Alas they lose the visible tangibility and break free. Gas.

Rattle of stone fixed on top of the Zippo and smell of fluid burning. A long drag and lungs full. Choke..may be a release. Nostrils left looking for trace of something. Body loosens, can’t feel its on weight and limbs so loose as if they weren’t attached. Brains shrinks and expands. And every exhale leaves you weightless. Gas.

Particles can’t be restrained inside the beaker. State beyond the state that was never achieved is being ventured into. Particles so unstable and high, can’t be refrained in four stinky walls of labs. Particles breaking free is all three known dimensions and many more, in all known ten directions and many more, not to return for foreseeable future. Stoned.

Light head, hi yet unstable, powerful, creative mind, loose limbs, spinning dimensions, ears flooded with melody and music, eyes blinding by thousand Suns, breathing nose and drying throat and flying mind…Stoned.

Praan

Here is a master-piece by Rabindranath Tagore.


Bhulbona ar shohojete 
Shei praan e mon uthbe mete
Mrittu majhe dhaka ache
je ontohin praan

Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
Shei shurete jagbo ami 
(Repeat 3X)

Shei jhor jeno shoi anonde
Chittobinar taare
Shotto-shundu dosh digonto
Nachao je jhonkare!

Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
Shei shurete jagbo ami


This one defines it ... that is life....

Sooner is better than Later

Series of 1s & 0s team up to churn out the message

Celluloid letters flicker to let you read what you’ve to read

Circuits amplifying the voice coming through from thousand miles away

To let you hear what you’ve to

And half a million pixels putting up a solved jigsaw to let you see her face

Sooner than later…


Talks won’t lead to anywhere

But the latent hunch that they will - later than sooner


Would keep you at it

As mundane as the day might be

Still you would have something to talk and something to hear

All the wise-cracks and well stirred up doses of flirt

Garnished with a floating umbrella of words and

a few cubes of puns

would get you high sooner or later.

A fight or a tussle, would always be around the corner

But sooner or later you learn how not to take that corner

Sooner or later


All the stories, the people,the incidents from past and present

Success, Failure, Excitement, Disappointment, Affections, Attraction, Jealousy, Desire, Curiosity

Can’t be held back in the presence of million gadgets of communications

And from ever exposed expressions

But, every now and then

Something comes up, someone walks up or walks by

And a look is all maybe it takes

And sooner or later it is a drink, a walk, a movie

or to sum it up - a date

Latter is I guess is better


Sooner or later,

You’ve to let the tide wash out the letters on sand

You’ve to let the photographs fade or get lost or be at the corner of the pin board where you don’t look no more

Sooner or later reality is dearer than dreams

And for the dear ones you need to pull the chord

It isn’t the letting go that hurts but otherwise

‘Who will turn back?’

Is always for one to know and the other one to find out

Be the Latter

Sooner or later
