Holi..... Ho Li

It was a holi today. A well known Hindu festival. Festival of colors, joys, vibrations, emotions, vibrating emotions, energy, music and many more to enlist. A festival to revive old relations which have lost their shines over time.
But the life is same for him sitting in his balcony of his Painthouse - in one of the costliest human habitat of this city. Except that today he has to face a louder music coming from the ground. It is a holiday, a free day after so many tiring years. Looking back he never finds himself in rest since the day he started his business.

A sudden change in music brings him back into present. A loud and blunt music had always turned him down. But an alternating screams of children playing together had kept him from complaining. From the top, he couldn't look into the glittering eyes of those children but he could easily feel the enrgy in their spines.
He collects the past days of his own. From a small town he was, where a festival like this counts a big social call. He can never forget his old golden moments of joy during festival time, those days-free of responsibilities. Today he would have loved to be undergrown.
There is a change in song. The song is lighter this time. Probably some old holi song from 70s. The movement is slowed down as well. People might have gone tired of dancing and fun. A sunny day it is. It would have been a fun to get drenched in water and colors today.

He had taken a long path in life. From a small tinsel-town boy to a high profile businessman in Mumbai. He has taken a big leap in a single lifetime. A black Rolls-Royce in his parking lot shines over all the counterpart vehicle. His single decision can change the fate of so many people thriving on a business run by him.
But behind his black gogles in deep wet eyes, he knows wat he has lost in this glittering city. Somethin' that counts and something that doesn't.........
He closes the windows of his balcony. The music fades away. And he slips back into a black leather couch. There is some weather forecast on television. "There may be some rain today in Mumbai". But he is safe in his Penthouse. Safe of being drenched in water........
