वेड आहे वेड .....
तिच्या patent style मध्ये ती म्हणाली
Bekaraan yeh bekaraan
Aankhien bandh keejay na
Doobne lagey hai hum
Saans lene deejay na
Bekaraan yeh bekaraan
Background मध्ये विशाल उलगडत होता गुलझार शब्दांचे सोनेरी धागे ......
माझं लक्ष चोरलं ते कानामागून हळूच निसटून गालावर रेंगाळणाऱ्या एका बटेनी ....आणि मग त्या गोबऱ्या गोबऱ्या गालांवरून त्या नाजूक छोट्याश्या जिवणी वर ....light pink....जणू काही कोणीतरी गुलाबाच्या खूप सगळ्या पाकळ्या एकत्र करून ठेवाव्या ...आणि त्यांच्यावर सुरकुत्यांची छान नक्षी बनावी ....... तेवढ्यात ते ओठ उलगडले , पाकळ्या थोड्याश्या विखुरल्या आणि परत मधेच एकत्र आल्या .....मी वर बघितलं तर दोन मोठे मोठे टपोरे डोळे माझ्यावर रोखून ती बघत होती .....काळेभोर मोठे टपोरे डोळे .....मधेच पापण्या लवल्या आणि माझं लक्ष परत त्या ओठांकडे गेलं .....तो look इतका सुंदर होता .....वेगळाच ......सगळं समजून उमजून पुन्हा एक निरागस हसू आणि तो श्वास ......काही न बोलताच खूप काही करून जाणारा ......
मग पटकन ती 'love you' म्हणते आणि एकदा परत त्या सगळ्या पाकळ्या माझ्या गालावर सजवते , क्षणभरच .....
Cafe Leopold........foreigners.....beer pitchers and some indecipherable music......
She talks of relations and people......this life and past life.......getting high and spirituality........soul healing and chutyapa...all in the same breath......while I nudge the penne alfredo and garlic breads.....she doesn't go for the spoons, and as if on the cue I start feeding her.....she likes to be fed,pampered,adored.........
As the Carlsberg and Budweiser settle down the belly, the conversation wanders in various directions.....not many of them worth remembering.....
then we move out and start looking for cigs......classic milds......a cab to marine drive.......of holding hands and brushing of lips......of smelling the hair...the magnificent hair and drowning down the deep dark beautiful eyes......
Marine Drives, Cigs and Nail Paint, observing Candle Light dinner of a crab family and talking on environment issues to having babies....her being compact enticed him beyond limits....just one hand around her shoulder and he could embrace her, hold her close...... breath-ably close or sweep her off her feet.......her skin soft and cold and fair, just as he liked......the conversations continue and the night starts to make her presence felt.....
the traffic getting thinner and office goers being replaced with family's out for a peaceful stroll....
the necklace remains sitting in its full glory while 2 small inconsequential souls find happiness next to each other....they live there and leave their lives back somewhere..........
and then they leave to go get their lives back......to be the kobras
Adios till next date.....
