The wind blew my hair all over my face.. It was chilly but pleasant.. The rush of air against my face felt good.. It quickly dried away my tears.. Tears which kept rolling down my cheeks..
Things, places, people pass by so soon in the train.. Its all just a blur.. Like memories.. A dash of colour, a ghost of a smile.. Train travel always made me philosophical.. The travel didn't appeal to me anymore..
The train rumbled on the bridge.. I could see the vast black expanse of the sea below.. There seemed to be no bottom to the blackness.. What would happen if I jumped in..? Would someone hear the quiet splash I would make as I hit the water..? Would I be missed by family and friends..? Would I have left something unfinished..? Have I told people how much they mean to me..?
The bottom-less darkness beckoned me.. It showed me an end to all my worries and problems.. I smiled to myself.. "Aaja gufaaon me aa, aaja gunaah kar le.." was playing in my head, for God alone knows, what reason.. Will my jumping be considered a crime..? Questions again.. The questions in my life never seem to end and the answers to most of them haven't been available.. If I jump, I will not have to think of answers to questions at all.. Wouldn't that be a relief..?
A voice in my ear said.. "Aur ye tha film 'Aks' ka gaana..which was based on the Hollywood movie - Face/Off.. Aap sun rahe hai Morning Masala Mallishka ke sang.. Agla gaana hai film 'Force' ka, jise gaaya hai KK ne.. 'Khwabon khwabon khoye khoye.."
And I opened my eyes.. it was a bright day and I was on my way to work.. The girl sitting in front of me smiled at me and said.. 'Last stop - Thought I should wake you up.'
