Modern Hell

It wasn’t a night at all unless we don’t see the darkest and starry sky above our head, but nobody bothered to raise their head and look above. It is 11:00 pm in the night and crowd or mob whatever you may wish to call it because the situation depicted both the meaning; here is wilderness, here is madness, here is poverty… The mob is getting intensified rather than pacifying as the night grew harder and harder. Person of every age, every class, every cast, every sex are participating in this wild party; young and old, rich and poor, Mongolians and Brahmins, westerners and easterners, male and females, homosexual and heterosexuals, gays and eunuchs… each and everyone is enjoying. Sorry! Sorry! actually not everyone because some are making living out of it and passing through their ordeal of life. All these participants are pursuing for a partner for a night maybe trying to fulfill their unfulfilled desires or free their repressed emotions and feelings. Getting drunk is common and brawls aren’t rare here I mean it is all common here. There isn’t a rule or law at all and even if there is no one bothered to adhere to it; it is total anarchy or mayhem… Every sense of morality, ethics and virtue can decay in this mayhem.
I sit between this mayhem alone observing and my thinking mind reminds me of past days of my childhood; reminding me how much my country has changed. I am moving around trying to make inquiry about like a fool. I am making some queries, but their eyes looks at me as if I am a mad or an insane. By the way it isn’t a right time to ask such questions and now I fuck my questions and I am here in this dark corner of street observing the whole drama as the whole mob gradually vanished along with first light of dawn.
I don’t know why people talk about hell and heaven after their death as we can see and feel both during our life time. However this isn’t a heaven but a modern hell………
