spark?

   This is just twenty five times nothings one after the other.I am just using the internet so that I can look at this at a later point with a different perception/perspective .. you are not supposed to read it actually :)
       I have always reflected on things that I have happened in my blogs.Never have I written a story.I sit here with the intention of writing something that has not happened.That is what a story is.Something that has not happened.
       I have never been to Andaman.I have some vague idea of what it might look like.Also,I always talk of myself.Let me send my protagonist to Andaman and describe an imaginary ambience and talk of him against this setting.
   Nature has a very profound impact.While you read lines like behind the ashy rocky, the breeze is swift and cool or water gushed in huge spurts from the black rocks , you imagine the scene and your mind is filled with the scenery and you picture these as you read.
    Come to think of it, I have not read a lot of books that paints nature a lot.Lot of people and lot about people - that is what books I recently read are.How about a book about nature.
    A book that treats a terrain as a family and the river , the mud , the plants , the animals as characters. River tells us how it fought through the rocks for years on end to bring water to the now fertile land.Fertile land in it's self conceit disregards the rivers.Vegetation is the next generation.Attracted by greenery, animals come in .. settle ... procreate .. jump around making the habitat frolicky .. 
    Would such a novel be an ugran bore like 'Vaarikkuzhiyile kolapaathakam .. ".Not necessarily - I see prospect here.But then I am not the expert on this subject

Comfortably Numb

  It was a busy New York street.I had to get to the other side of the street so that I could get back later on.I could see beautiful clean sleek shiny cars and buses rushing through. All I wanted to do was to cross the road - a stretch of a few meters and I am expected to wait on for hours on end.Did not make sense.It was unjust.I couldn't stand it any longer and I decided to stand/rather walk for what I felt is right.I focussed on the point of the other side of the road that I wanted to reach and I step......
          I turned into a bloat of marshy flesh on the road.My skull was bludgeoned and my right eye popped out of the socket strung back to the socket by yellow yoke as in Salvador Dali's paintings.My white shirt was soaked in blood..My legs hurt all the way up to my shoulders.Outstanding eveything was a feeling of numbness.A delirium that I fell in love with.I started losing my pain.I couldn't be bothered to cry for help.I did not want to avoid vehicles from running over me again.I lay there as a smile placed itself on my lips.My cheeks rose as the smile flowed into my heart and resurfaced on my face.
        I lay there for years as more and more vehicles passed over me.Passers by who were tourists shocked into vomits at the grotesque sight while the localites ....
