Walking up the stairs of our own Kings Palace I(renamed to attract His Excellency’s momentous glimpse), everything was silent. Partly because of the locked doors at every floor and also because of everyone hurrying to complete the last bit of work(NSC thing) so that they can rest a while, meet family and get ready for the occassion of a yeartime – Happy New Year. Last dusk of the year means many thing to many people.
The weather is calm and the cooling breeze has allready started blowing to make every working soul restless for a cover. Everybody,this day, at some point of time must have thought or said that “hey this year passed too fast, isnt it!!”. But the reality is, as everybody realizes, that it went in its own pace with its own share of happening moments. Now as I am writing this junk, I thought to wrap the year’s story here. But right now, its not possible for me to think of any past more than last 20 days. It seems to me now that the last 20 days were the whole of all 364 days of the complete year. Then I think why is it so. And I smile on the exercise done by my alma matter.At last I gave up.
I was reading my own blogs today and I saw that I have covered up almost every headlines of my life in this year. So I have to cover up some more significant experiences which occurred lately. I was a volunteer-card holder non-working volunteer of a science congress since last some days. It was for children or ,as they say, for child scientists from all over the nation being organised by our college with the help of local and central government organisations. It had the magnitude of colossus. I got involved in it so as to feel His Excellency presence and also to spend some time talking to her after that reverberation which had threw us apart. And because of her I walked into this forbidden palace of ours from where we were exiled after that reverberation and also she took care that I dont have to do anything except having the ticket to enter to the show.
Life was never so luxurious ever before as it was these few days. Waking up at your own desire, having good food for nothing to pay, spending chilling romantic evening with her, entertainment for the bored mind by various masters showing the aura of their specific arts, laughing with heart out at the not so laughable jokes of them. Heavenly pleasures are short-lived. Today all those ended.
This last fortnight is now bookmarked for the rest of my life for the most unblemished ,most pleasing and nonpareil moments. I preferred to stay alone tonight when I could have easily went out for that party which used to fascinate my adoloscent years. I dont know the reason for my decision. But whatever may be the reason I am now in a mood to cherish those moments alone so that I wont forget them at the dawn of 2006.
After 5 hours or so, the new chapter will begin and the new season will continue with new characters, new plots, new twists, new desires, new feelings and yes with new music. At present what I am listening to is a song which will be on screen next year. Its another masterpiece by the maestro, a motivational melody which has very complicated lyrics to relate to.But it says something like
“blood flows/ to do something/ to get into the mirrors of the eyes/ from one’s body, scrolling down the fields , emerging from the streets/ to take new colors/ blood flows…”
I dont know why this song is also supporting my mood.
Happy New Year for those who are 5 hours late.
(NCSE 2005- 27 Dec. to 31st Dec.

It ended today and everyone left except him. He will be alone at the dimly -lit, all locked corridors of King’s Palace at the midnight.
