People call it 'midnight'. Yeah, may be..
It was 2353hrs when I saw the time in my cell phone. I don't know what was with my hair which kept falling on my face. I tied it before going out in dead of night!
Mobile phone ko bhi saath me leke gayi. There was only silence outside. Hawa ki dheemi aawaaz sunaayi de rahi thi.
I started feeling pleasant, all the more with some good music to back up the pleasant atmosphere. Gaana: 'Aaa bhi jaa.. Aaaa bhi jaaa... ay subahh aa bhi jaa.. raat ko kar vidha, dilrubaa aa bhi jaaa..' playing on Big 92.7fm!!
I looked up to see if there are stars. There was one. But it wasn't a familiar one. As I looked for the stars I knew, my mobile phone vibrated. It was a message from a friend: "U thr.." I replied "Ya thr.."
The reply I got again had my wits screech with fun!
The message read: "Ok be thr.."!!! A smile flickered on my face.. iss time me aisa mazaak?!! What else could I've done with such funny friends!
I again looked up in the sky to find the stars that are familiar to me. The clouds advanced like they were hurrying up and telling me "Arrey pagli.. jaa jaaa.. jaake soja.. hum bhi jaa rahe he"!
Cool white clad clouds to copper brown clouds!
I asked them in silence, "Kyu bey saalon.. apna kaam karo naa.. Me kisiko dhoond rahi hu.."
They laughed at me "Hahaa kisse dhoond rahi ho.. Jaa so ja.. raat bohot hui he"!
The wind seemed to agree with the clouds! Oh! and the coconut trees tooo??!! What did swaying mean then?!! Shaayad woh bhi yahi bol rahe the!
There came an ant on the wall evidently engrossed in its world. Koi toh he iss waqt shaayad mera saath de!! I had enough guts to ask the ant, "Heyy mere bhai, kisse dhoond rahe ho.. Dekho na in baadalon ko.."
It didn't show any sign of understanding or even trying to understand what I'm saying! "Abbeyy oyeee... Ruk beyy...."
Chalaaa gaya woh bhi.. :)
The air was pure with bliss!
I turned around and never again took back the position I had stood in! The Moon had caught me!! Honey dipped Half-Moon... Shaayad isi ko kehte he khoobsoorthi!! Itnaaa achcha lag raha tha jaise kuch hi der pehle neend se jaag ke aaya tha!! Light yellow to golden colored Moon! A delight to watch!! Resplendent!!
Raat ka andhera dikhaayi nahi de raha tha!! Jaise Kahi kho gayi hu!! What a beauty this is!!
How could the world miss out to see and feel this beauty!
There's no green of trees, there is no blue of the sky... There are no brilliant colors of the day...
But There's beauty in the night's darkness, there's beauty in the swaying of tress, there's beauty in grey white clouds trying to mask the stars, the breeze, the silence.... there's ultimate beauty in Moonlit night..
How'd I miss to feel THE BEAUTY OF NIGHTS!!!!!
ಇರುಳಲಿ ಹೊಳೆವ ಚಂದಿರನಂತೆ
ಮಿಣ ಮಿಣ ಮಿನುಗುವ ಚುಕ್ಕಿಯಂತೆ
ಹೊಳೆವುದು ಮನಸಿಗೆ
ಅಕ್ಷರಗಳ ಕಂತೆ ಕಂತೆ!!
ತುಂಬಿರಲು ಎದೆಯೊಳಗೆ ಸಂತಸ-ಚಿಂತೆ!

This is a very nice article you have written "BK". I personally like night but i also enjoy the day time as well.
This is because i think this relationship with day & night is the fantasy that i expect in the present lifetime.
Reason - In the dead of the night Mr.Moon the perfect gentleman comes & though he is surrounded by so many females(stars) he is so perfect that he is never swept of his feet that`s Mr.Moon.
When the day arises Mr.Moon goes to sleep dreaming about his perfect girl but he doesn`t realise that his perfect female(star) has come in the time he went to bed i.e our very beautiful, perfect, innocent Ms.Sun. though a lot of people look at her or even wink at her she doesn`t care for them but she waits for her perfect gentleman till its time for her to go home. When she has gone to her father`s place Mr.Sea she doesn`t realise that her perfect gentlmam just got up. This continuies but on day they both meet & every body see there love & like all love stories even there "perfect love ko kisiki nazar pad gayi" so Ms.Sun`s dad makes sure they don`t meet again & now the perfect lovers meet finally & when they meet the whole world want to see them but if they see they are cursed. It is a beautiful sight & we call there beautiful meeting & solar ecplise. This is time Mr.Moon proposes her with a beautiful diamond ring but before Ms.Sun can accept her dad comes & pulls her away. This is continuing from long time. I wish Ms.Sun finally accepts the ring.
Ther love is the eternal love story more powerful than any.
Wish they finally get married & have beautiful Kids.
Hey please comment of the scrap i have written in a short duration maybe the editing is not good.
Anyways nice work "BK" take care.

[Anokh] Beautiful imagination!! :)
Ms.Sun and Mr.Moon do meet Anokh, and father himself does the job!! :)
Haven't u seen the beauty of Moon masked by ever gorgeous Sun in the day time!! U can catch them both in the day time!!
By evening Ms.Sun goes down (judaai)!!! And our perfect gentleman Mr.Moon again sparkles the night sky in her thoughts, reflecting her love! Moon is because of Sun's light of love, u see!!! :)
Beautiful imaginations Anokh.. Thanku for the wonderful writing in my column!
"chaar chaand lag gaye" they say in hindi!!!!! Just like that ur writing in my column is!!!
