Agneepath Agneepath Agneepath!!!

AND then again the inevitable happened…my mind interrupted my acrobatic act with fear. What if there are snakes up there???  I was hanging in balance and then...the same mind gave a fitting reply back; even if there is a snake up there, the worst that can happen is that its poisonous bite will kill me! Ok, accepted! Anyways I am not looking forward to set up a whole planet!

Then I continue my upward climb. Two branches cross each other, I comfortably settle there. I take a few seconds to catch my breath. Look around, two fruits are there together. It looks like Guava but this doesn’t look like a Guava tree. Guava trees are small; we had one in our neighbor’s backyard where I spent my childhood. Will it be poisonous or shall I give it a try? Let me try it, umm…it tastes like strawberry and is of the same color inside.

Let it be, it is worth consuming at least. I quickly gobbled up those two and then was successful in getting 3 more after climbing one level high.  Rested some time there, kept looking at my watch to see the time, it showed that horizontal line only (9:15). Believe me; it can get really frustrating when you are not able to track the time. However, another frustrating thing was yet to happen…I felt thirsty. It felt like I was at a place even worse than a desert because in a desert you at least hope to find an oasis. But now I have to walk aimlessly into unknown territory! Before descending from the tree, I plucked 2 more fruits to feed my hunger later. If you are thinking why only 2, then let me tell you I had no intention of ball like things poking out of my denim pockets! I am a human being from earth and wanted to look normal…though I don’t even know if any one will ever see me here.



My march continues, at times feeling down, feeling excited, feeling tired and most importantly feeling thirsty! It was like “Agneepath” for me…”Kar Shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath…Agneepath Agneepath Agneepath” and I tripped and fell down! Did I get too lost in the emotions! No, something was poking out of the ground…looked like a small heap of soil! Like a normal reaction, I went there and kicked the soil in the air and ouch!!! It hurt me, there was something metal like beneath it. It was a latch on a wooden board, probably a door and it was open! Woohu…could this be an opening to another world now? A LATCH IN THE GROUND.
