thus spake
'They ask on why they need different, and to why they are not as easily pleased as before. Yet they easily accept (and expect) all change in physical form. The growth is everywhere.' - Swami Something

sweetie
The happy guy reached VT. Rush hour was long past and the station was clearing up. He put the book in his bag and took out his mobile, 'Reached VT. Be home soon. Switch on geezee baba.' He checked on his wallet - twentyfive rupees - the ATM trip could be postponed to the next morning. But that meant he'd have to leave home a few minutes earlier. Shaking his head, he walked towards the ATM in the dark of the dark, dark night.
A couple walked ahead. She commenting on how he should change his shoes. He replying on how they cost money. She reminding him of the new chappal's he'd aquired. They weren't suitable for work, he said. She wouldn't understand his work.. she couldn't understand his work, he said. So an argument began and it was growing. The happy guy overtook the quarreling couple hoping he knew she meant well.
'Sweetie?'
Happy guy looked around. There were four guys (all to his left).
'What do you want Sweetie?'
He remembered later that he began walking faster and faster and faster still (though in reality he may have even run). And he could hear them all through the while, 'Yes, Sweetie. Sweetie??'
(And when he walked out of the vestibule, they were gone.)

barren
'..how you answer the questions of God's existence will impact your relationship with others, your commitment to integrity, your attitude toward morality and your perception of truth..'
But I've always needed to find out for myself - a deaf ear to her, a deaf ear to him.. a closed door to them and all the voices within. 'Then how did it all start?' Something from nothing. (wonderings on the beginning of life and matter, knowing nothing of the beginnings of my own life or even workplace - and which has more relevance!) I don't know. I don't know.
And if he did exist, he's made himself redundant.
