A Quirky Urban Muse

The lift man is absent. The staircase is empty. Everyone is sleeping or watching T.V in their rooms. There are noises of pain and lust all around. There are laughter and giggling. The garage is houseful. All cars are resting in delight.

The man is wandering and trying to feel the unusual Sunday. He was looking little confused and dazed. The roads were empty. The trees were swaying with the breeze. The birds were chirping with a divine glory. He has nothing to do, he is a stranger to this place, and he is completely clueless about the urban habits.

Nights are long and days are short here – someone said to him. Everybody slogs like dogs and sleeps like vampires on Sundays. An urban life is so full of struggle, there is nothing like an urban boredom. You have everything but still you feel unhappy and lonely at the end of the day. You feel like a mechanical heart in an urban setting, you just can’t feel anything from within. The man was confused. He couldn’t understand why that boy is brushing his teeth in the afternoon. He can’t understand why everyone is so happy and relaxed.

An urban life isn’t so easy my friend – someone tells the man. You have to know the mechanics to survive here. You’ve to be practical and bright to live in a congested city life. An urban man looks like a machine; he wears bluetooth devices in his ears and can’t live without his sunglasses. He walks in style and smiles with grace but feels nothing from inside. There is a void all around. The apartments look beautiful from outside but there are so many complications inside. Everything is different here my friend – someone tells the man.

The man is no more confused now. He got his lessons. He is moving ahead with his blue shirt and black cap. He is looking like a new age Don Juan. He is definitely shining in his urban avatar. He is our newly appointed Pizza delivery man...
