Scene 1 :

Just another regular day at office. Suddenly I hear some commotion from my workshop. I rush out, and find that one of my workers has lost three fingers due his carelessness while operating a machine. I see him shivering in pain. I find something wet rolling down my left cheek. Am a guardian now, and within seconds I regain composure, and rush out to arrange medical attention.

Scene 2 :

"You are like a piece of metal, it's impossible to break you. We are mortals, we shed tears when we have a heartbreak". One of my closest friends literally cursed me when I tried to make him understand that a break up is not the end of the world. I pat him on the back, extend my hand, throw him the helmet and we are off for a glass of lassi. And I am his friend.

Scene 3 :

And I send a recharge to her BSNL number so that she can uninterruptedly chat with her boyfriend. "Thank you brother, love you. Muaah." And hence comes the confirmation text for the receipt of the talktime.

Scene 4 :

"Three cheers for India"..and we roam about the city at midnight to celebrate India's World Cup trimuph. Am a guy afterall.

Scene 5 :

May 11, 2009. First day at office. Absolutely gloomy atmosphere. I go to dad's cabin - "What's wrong?"
"You remember I told you about that huge order we secured? The material has been rejected. 34 lakhs worth filters have been totally wasted."
"Give me two days to study the filters properly dad. That test rig was built by me. Guess its destiny that the filters would be passed in my presence only."
"It's impossible to pass them. There has been an error on my part while selecting the material."
"If you ever have to trust your son, just do it now."

Scene 6 :

3 weeks later - "How come these filters are showing the desired efficiency now!" questions a stunned inspector.
"Guess there was some leakage in the test rig. Hence air pressure was not developing. Hope we can have the shipping release now sir. Dad is really worried." And am a Devil now. An actor as well. As the saying goes, everything is fair in love and war.

Scene 7 : 

"Never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight"....and the singer Akash hums one of his favourite tunes, while the driver Akash steps on the pedal a bit more. He looks up through the windshield at the shining crescent moon, and dreamer just wishes that someday, technology would be advance enough to let him fulfil his childhood dream of watching the Great Wall of China from the moon. The student Akash read somewhere once upon a time, that this is the only man-made structure visible from the moon, and since then he dreams of going there.

Scene 8 : 

I stand in front of a mirror. I keep on looking at myself. Should I be proud that innumerable people would love to see me dead as that would once again trigger their business growth? Am an enemy to many I guess. Or should I be ashamed that I have become corrupt down to my very cells? Am a human as well.

Scene 9 :

And finally one rainy night, the writer sits down to scribble his thoughts. He is alone tonight. He has some time in hand. And he thinks. He portraye himself to be God, when he thinks of the fantastic achievements in professional life. He finds himself to be cruel when he remembers the innumerable times he has hurt his near and dear ones, sometimes knowingly, sometimes out of sheer ignorance. He is a rockstar when a party is on, with one after another tequila shots rushing down his veins. He is a loner when a family is enjoying dinner in a train, while he keeps on reading a book, maybe he's on a business trip. He's a lover when he hopes that someday he might run into his Miss Right, who will proudly accompany him to his second dream destination, Antarctica to frolic with the Penguins. And then suddenly he realises that he is a true artist, he has painted a collage of his life with the bit of vocabulary that he has!

"Be like water, fit into every vessel, and life will keep flowing smoothly." Grandma said these words once. And hence, as long as am performing all these different roles, I am no different from anyone. I am just ME.
