Outside New Delhi Airport.........."Didi kaha jaana hai?", the auto-rickshaw driver asked me when I had already got into it. I came back to my sense and realized that I was already in an auto-rickshaw. I told him,"GK 1 bhaiya". I tried reaching myself but I could not! Insensible.
I was travelling through the darkness way back my home. In my salwaar-kameez with my dupatta wrapped around and no winter wear, some cash and my cellphone in hand I had ran to the airport. I gave my destiny and all me.....
I had to come out of the airport with nothing but numbness. Thanks to myself that I was atleast numb.
"Didi kya hua? Aapne kuch bola bhi nahi aur yuhi rickshaw mein baith gaye. Kisi ko drop karne aaye the kya? Main to roz hi yaha se passenger lekar jaata hu. Par aap bilkul chup ho", rickshaw driver asked me. I just inquired his name and moved on. Last thing I could see was flights taking-off........and time was flying by.........
I reached back home......and sat down quietly for long doing nothing!
Late evening Kerstin invited me for an outing. I was not in the condition but it was her b`day next day and there was some plan to it that midnight! I went to Vasant-Kunj to Martha`s place. Kerstin had cut the cake a while before when Martha and I went into the balcony. Took the lights out and started dragging on sharing basis.
From her balcony I could again count n-numbers of flights taking-off!! I just had to say.......,"People turn heartless to the one who love them!!".I looked at the beautiful shimmering sky and took a deep breathe.
Last but not the least regardless of everything on earth at that point of time I raised my hand and said bye to the flight which was visible to me in the sky............Adieu......
