CALL OF THE METAL : I

One day on the packed sidewalks and lanes of the community centre in Vasant Vihar , i walked in silence and roar at the same time though i was with a friend i unconciously shifted to a dull and gloom all in myself .I could hear the people laugh and walk past me in a brazen kind of manner that was very full of feigning reasones and failing solitude.I was alone as a matter of fact i for no reasone had the excuse for being so cynical.Hanging out late nights have been a old hunt for me without much of sense .Somehow it reminds me of my being and it reminds me of what exactly the picture is like when one confronts the darkness.
I had been facinated by mere thought of shopping and i can go any length just to grab a place in the market full of shoppers buying happiness out of cash or credit whatever.I can always get up in the middle of night an go shopping.This time was very different i was not out on purpose, with myself stuffed with lot of apprehensions for the night ahead.I steeped out of my car with my dear friend and started to walk on the main street leading to the rear of the place that recieves the majority of the revellers,sat there on a fountain clutching on to a side-stone with a hand already busy with an egg-roll munching and i really wanted to go out in the middle loud and hard to sing a song by Metallica called "turn the page" but soon i realised it was a dream.
Later we stepped into a joint harshly done with loud interiors with an extravagance of a blacksmith workshop and they proudly call it Metal as if in desperate need of recognition.playing hard rock and sub generes satiate them dry.
I strolled ahead on a street leading to the main one and i see some more cafe's and bistro's famous for there ""Good entry regimes"" i hate them all for every reason possible.I really have a fond memory of this nature in south Delhi itself.
Loving the music i grew up have few takers and very few can stand it literally.for some reasons Metal soothes me and reminds me of presence of something strong that connects me back to everything. So lost i can only hope for a better place and more of such places and joints that really can make someones day.
