6(k) feet under

An unlikely place to see your death being played out. Of course no ugly facial expressions. Not a soul to bid you goodbye. Just the sea beckoning you, the chains on the feet clinking as though in protest for the extremity of the act about to follow.

And then it all ends. A serene calm descends, as the pressure of the sea makes you relive your life. And as soon as you're done, it takes it away. And you sink, noiselessly, to the bottom of the ocean. Your final resting place.

Funny how things turn out then.

    Creativity? Hehehe...you don't know the half of it! Two years in Bombay were where all of my creativity was somehow dormant! I was infamous in all my circles in Poona for cracking the worst PJs ever! I guess that was the trouble huh? They're supposed to be PJs...in Mumbai, they'd have been MJs!
    :D I crack myself up sometimes!

    @Cutey :> Lehar Ajwani, this is me calling you names!
    :P
    Meet up? I've given up hope of being able to catch you guys now...all of you love your jobs way too much! (And apparently I seem to be getting extremely comfortable with my unemployment! ~sigh~ Such is life!)
