the dark hallucination..

The boulevard of shattered dreams.. the compulsory living through.. the survival game..

hopes...



it was 10 am in the morning.. i was waiting outside the medicine shop.. i really never had any intention to visit the doc rather accompany my father but often "duty comes before the personal aspirations".. *phew*.. it was pretty monotonous.. surrounded by some coughing old men who seemed to be all knowing.. the remarks about weather and the cricket matches and now thanks to  the upcoming elections, it also seem to be an inevitable part of the conversation.. bored i looked across.. just mentally making a note whether it would be a wise decision o text... :) :P

well i guess i am not wrong but basically we have a pretty bad habit.. to stare at handsome guys.. well am too inflicted with the disease n i admit would change it soon enough.. :) :P however in this quest to idle away the fleet of time a little boy of about 6 yrs grabbed my attention..

he was dressed pretty shabbily.. a glance would be enough to deduce that he belonged to the poorest of the class.. the pant was torn.. the shirt ragged as if not washed for ages.. noteworthy the latter seemed too big for his age..his hair. unkempt and i saw him picking up some papers near the gutter.. muddy bodied he was gazing at something.. sort of dumbstruck...it grabbed my attention.. he was innocent looking.. a pitiful look on his eyes.. it was pretty saddening.. somewhere down below i was being hit by something unknown.. i stared long. gaping wide..


it was a car.. a brand new BMW.a proud possession of the doctor...the boy was staring at it.. maybe he couldn't imagine in his wildest dreams that something so magnificent could exist and someone could actually afford to own it... he caressed the door of the car.. he seemed to smell it.. maybe hoping he would one day own it.. a hope lingering down below..will someone lead him to that destination?? or will his dreams be shattered?? will he still remain that sweet, little, innocent, angelic boy or transform into some goon?? all i have now is some unsatisfiable questions.. may the Almighty look at him.. bless him and help him...
