Have you ever felt someone was so beautiful you couldn’t touch them? That they were too pure, and you too dirty. And corrupt. He is innocent, untainted, sparkling spring water,virgin snow.

15th August- back home Mumu must have made luchi and payesh . But she would have to satisfy herself with pseudo Bangali cuisine at a dingy restaurant at the corner of her neighborhood.

Denim skirts and gold rimmed aviators, Silky black hair flying into my face, Smelling of conditioner. Fast food for lunch, Holding hands in the park, Panties in a bunch.

The alarm stuck sharp at 0700 hours. I got up. As I stepped into the corridor toothbrush in mouth someone greeted me, “Good Morning Rajiv.” I turned back . He was my batchmate . We had met last night. Shit man! What was his name…

The dancing colors, of half-formed words, Dancing to a frenzy, within my head, And when I close my eyes to the outer world, Heaven and Hell meet beside my bed.
