Part 2

December 9, 2009

It was early morning around 7a.m. and Edward was already back, at the gates of his workplace, Cemetery.He opened the gates ,started the car and drove down the main lane.He had opened all other gates as well. He reached his office, kept the bag and immediately left to get a cup of coffee.It was,yet, dark outside.He walked down the main road adjacent to this gate. It was already getting crowded and the traffic seemed building up. “One cup of Caffe Latte”,he said. Edward was a regular customer, the guy across smiled and went in. Edward glanced through the newspapers at the stand. “We are ready for the Summit”, said the Politician beeming at the camera’s.Edward took one copy and paid the shopkeeper.On his way back , he felt that it was colder compared to last week. He remembered that it was December and it’s going to be worse till February.
The work at cemetery is not described.He is working with associated Church. He usually knew about the burial schedules before hand. He was then responsible for all the arrangements. Today there was not much work. Otherwise he was also in charge of the work done by the gardener in maintaining the trees, bushes in and around the cemetery area. Though he was appointed by the Public services of the city, he always had to report and discuss with Edward before he executes anything.
He noticed that people have started using the main lane already. As told earlier, it was short-cut for many to the other main road. Obviously,Cemetery gates did not allow cars to pass by, yet there were many people who liked to have morning walks in this place.
Edward started reading the newspaper. At around half past 3 , he heard some noise outside, it was a loud noise making group of youngsters. He gazed through the window and stepped outside the office to have a closer look at what was happening.The guys started running back to the main gate.
He came inside, sat on the chair and started thinking of that past,which he prayed everyday not to think of and ask for forgiveness from All mighty. ..smoke. Smoke.. fog… ” RUN, RUN RUN .. he cannot catch you ” He ran as fast as he could, he looked around … everyone was dispersing and hiding in different directions. He was panting and breathing quite heavily. .he touched his chest… jacket.. fingers.. blood.. he couldn’t believe his eyes..No ..No…
… Edward …smoke smoke…

He shook his head. “No,No..”He said to himself.He looked at the watch , it was half past five. He had to leave . He convinced himself someday he will forget everything. He will. But, its just so funny that idle mind not only loves to dream about the future but it also reminds you about the most painful memories of life.They are always in your head somewhere, you hate to admit it, but you just keep them to convince yourself time and again.. ” It was not your mistake” , Edward said it loud to himself.He got ready to leave.

He looked at the Calender.It was Thursday tomorrow.
She would Come.

Abstract

December 7, 2009

“Yes” , he thought to himself, “2 months completed and I’m still here” It was not long before that Edward had joined this position , he was supposed to take care of the Cemetery area. One would wonder, what is supposed to be taken care of but, if you see this beautiful Cemetery you wouldn’t ask questions.Its amazing how much do humans suffer in their life yet people want them to lay in a beautiful place. How about having a beautiful life instead.Edward looked at the watch it was 6, time to leave.The winter was at its best since the beginning of this December. He packed his bag, opened the door checked for his Car keys.The Cemetery was spread out an extremely large area of land. He used the Car given to him to cover the distance and close all the doors.Before entering the car, he glanced around. It looked quiet.

It was different in summers and winters. It’s difficult to believe but during Summers people came to this cemetery to not only pay their homage but also to enjoy the scenic beauty of this place. It had tall trees which in summer showed all the possible shades of green and turned perfect yellow in fall. These trees formed a major road that lied between two main gates of the cemetery which joined perfectly two different worlds.

Rest of the scenic beauty comprised of extremely old trees, well maintained gardens, and all the graves were surrounded by trees and plants of different varieties. Families had a free will to plant a tree besides the grave though not in immediate proximity. The Main road of the cemetery was usually used in day time by the people to reach the other side quickly.

Edward felt the chill of this winter evening. He entered the Car, closed the door,removed the keys and started the car. He looked around near the graves.Some of them had light in front of them, many people lighted candles, he thought, before Christmas. It was very natural for people to be reminded of their loved ones during the festive season.Just then two bicycles stopped in front of him, he knew what had happened, they realised seeing him that the door must be closed and they cannot pass by. They turned around for the other gate.

Edward saw that they were youngsters. He did not switch off the car lights and helped them find a road. In winter, it was getting dark early and infact this morning there was fog too. The trees without the leaves in this fog looked even more tall and cold! He was reminded of also the high suicide rate of this town, winters lead to depression, loneliness and festive season worked perfect for all this.
He had reached the second door, he closed the door and locked it.Parked the Car just outside the gate and left.

Airports..

November 16, 2009

I had been to Airport last week for receiving some people from India. They were on their official visit. I reached early, when it comes to do such official work I prefer to be early than late. So, I had to wait until they pick their bags and finally come out. The arrival section speaks for itself, tells you so many stories with just one plane landing.

Kids running to greet their grand parents. Father or Mother with their kids to meet their other half who returns from an official visit. Its such a fun to see the kids. They run and smile, shy away ..elder ones try to act maturely cute.Some even younger ones don’t know how to react so they just cry. Some friends who had come to receive their friends.Lovers, partners..Families with the flags, flowers.

Some people like me who don’t know how the  person would look like so holding up names and looking at each face suspiciously. Some trying to find the meeting point. Others who know that they have to rush for next flight or rather know that no one is picking them up , just look around for the exit.

At the same time loads of others still too early for their flight having a coffee or a burger, trying to read something.

Yes, I was waiting for quite a long time to notice all this and more.The most funny area are those 2 doors who always remain closed unless someone is coming out, still, everyone keeps looking at the closed door!!

You meet, greet, smile and ask.. How was the journey?? Welcome …

,…waiting for my turn… just that it would be different , I will be still be the one waiting though I’m arriving.. I won’t meet or greet, I would just hug and kiss!! I missed you all :) I won’t cry ,I just won’t stop smiling  …. :) :)

Realization

November 7, 2009

What you think is the truth is not always the truth! What you think is possible is not always possible! What you believe is true is not always true! What you believe is the right time is not ! What you believe is the right moment is not really the right moment! Whom you believe is the right person is not a right person! What you believe is not, what you see, is not what you think, is not what is true, is not right and is not for you!

Now further part would be explained in a totally different language, just because I feel like..

Snowy tirey day…..

November 5, 2009

Its 1:15a.m. of 5th November morning and I wonder , why am I still awake.. Actually, I know, I just had my dinner. Without checking the social networking sites, blog site and some entertainment sites, I cannot sleep. It’s true.

I had my first ever snowfall experience today. I have seen snow before but this was when snow was falling! Its getting colder out here. I’m not complaining yet,but I need to mention it loud, I’m being psyched to handle it by me.It’s true.

I wondered, if God has excess of white color left after the spring, summer and fall that it just spills it all over in the form of white snow flakes. May be during this time he refills his utilities of colors for the rest of seasons. He makes a budget and gets the coloring stuff from Heaven market! Then he distributes these colors to all the plants, flowers, leaves all around the earth, so it takes him around 4 months to do that! I’m sure, The sun, accompanies him for help.

I also wondered that day if the dried leaf when crunched below your foot, makes an “Ouch!” sound when it cracks in to pieces!

My room still feels cold,its because of the window, which somehow passes the coldness in.Also the air ventilator near the sink. I’m a bit relaxed these days. Many major discomforts are getting solved. Its kind of relief to your brains! What works the best with me, is when I push my limits and fulfill the promises of my mind or at least keep my conscience alive.

I’m dead tired.Have to get up early
