MONOCHROMATIC bliss…….

Here I am…..sitting on this bench placed at the end of the platform number 5 of this busy railway station….deserted, dilapidated!…..its rather an amusing thing….that how can anything being physically so close to life…to a humongous number of people passing across it every now and then, be so perpetually averted!….this bench must have bin here for a real long time….must have witnessed so many emotions….its wood has a sagginess in it from the drizzling that just happened….n here..at this moment…am a mere company to this bench….or probably the other way round…the droplets of water developing at the edges of its rot iron bars…waiting to fall….growing with patience… a lucent purity…as if it were emoting…emoting madness about its potency!…
Sitting there…I observe people and their profound expressions…some with a hint of happiness and some with agony…some are rather ironic…and some are just blunt…few eyes searching someone…few waiting to be found…frowns on a kid’s face!…holding his mother’s palm…for being disapproved for a candy…..jubilance on another kids face for receiving a rupee tip on the last chai cup of the day, he just sold…portraying an amalgamation of contrasting shades of life….my vision traced that kid who was headed towards the porch, walking with a sense of unbound excitement!…he goes up to a girl, sitting there…crying!…his younger sister probably…n shows her, his achievement of the day…..that one rupee coin….that one small glimmering coin!!….never imagined that such a small piece of metal would posses so much of energy….energy to actuate limitless happiness!…bringing a wide smile on her face…with high acuteness…nothing had ever meant or seemed so rustic!!…so divine!!…those kids there…with no sense of antipathy against their fate…accept life!…and rather enjoy that moment…with no knowledge of the purple they might have to face ahead in life…their mind hasn’t evolved so much as to worry about it…making me realize again….ignorance after all is bliss!!…..
That small but rather intriguing period of time that I spent on that bench…made me realize…world is not that big a chaos…n happiness isn’t a royalty at all…it just takes a ‘spark’…’smile’ being its absolute metaphor in this case….to ignite happiness…
