Sex-Drugs-Money.

2011-03-17T00:47:00.000-07:00

Om enters the room thats dimly lit.. goes near the music system and checks out the tracks that are loaded.. switches the play button and adjusts the volume.. "come as you are.. as you were.. as i want you to be" .. nirvana and the life of kurt cobain.. if there was anything in common between Om and Kurt it was .. may be in the attitude.. takes off his Tag Heuer watch and places it on top of the music system.. goes and sits in the sofa with the glass center table.. void of nything on top of it... brings in close the small ivory box and opens it up.. makes a neat thin line of coke.. knocks it nicely and snorts.. closes his eyes and feels the cold barrel of the gun on his forehead.. silently waiting for it to blast of the entire disturbance and bring peace..

mini knocks Om.. "Om .. i am feeling hungry".. Om opens his eyes to find mini standing in front of her in a skirt and top.. tiny enough to be close to nothing.. "then order something, i am too tired today to go out for nything honey".. mini sits by his side.. and starts making a line for herself.. "do you mind ordering something for me.. i get confused with ordering.. over the phone" snorts.. feels the hands touching her... everywhere.. with the track changing to.. "have become dumb.. have become dumb"..

the door bell rings and here is the dinner.. a silent exchange of money and food and a modest tip of 50 bucks to the delivery boy.. Om gets back and knocks the trippy mini.. "food is here" .. mini gets up and does the stretching that gives just the right glimpse of the flawless skin.. her tummy.. a well toned tummy.. Om keeps the parcel on the table..

after the passionate kiss is over.. Om makes a little room between both of them.. "so u not feeling hungry right now".. "i do feel.. but there is something else thats burning down.. deep inside.." and locks her lips with him again.. with the food lying nearby.. on the sofa..

tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik.. Om opens his eyes.. its morning and he dont remember when he fell asleep on the sofa.. gets up.. finds the not even touched food still on the table.. switches of the music system. takes a look at the time in his wrist watch.. and then at the photo frame that has him and mini together in it.. looks at it.. smiles.. and keeps it back at the place..

Hey Guys !!

9 yrs later, in the seed room of hall 9, 9 assholes come together again !!

EXT, NIGHT - Hall 9

its dark and a bit cold, steve is running upstairs, covering two steps at a time. reaches floor 3 and runs towards a room.Riders on the storm, we can hear the song playing in the i-ball speakers of a PC in some room. as steve closes in towards the room the sounds gets louder. stops near the room. looks at the room number, its 322. touches the door, its painted white with no marks, his hands explore the door trying to scrap out the paint so that he can see the drawing that once used be their gang sign. pushes the door and makes it wide open. Riders on the storm gets at its loudest best, and before he can see anything, its a thick cloud of smoke that greets him with delight and engulfs his physical existence. steve moves in and his eyes adjust to the visiblilty in the smoke filled room.

INT, NIGHT - Room 322

all sorts of diff sounds of converstaions can be heard amongst the sound of pot and submarine. gud gud gud gud gud. a pair of hand are hitting the keyboard at rocket speed. khat khat khat khat.

CUT TO:

another hand with the pot knocks the shoulder and disturbs the concentration. kaka stops and looks back.

KAKA

(not very happy)

O Maa, purota kheye paas korli.

without wasting anymore time,kaka sticks the pot butt to his lips and sucks.. puffs.. puffs.. thick trail of smoke rising from the top of the pot with every puff. takes a last long puff.

CUT TO:

thick smoke flows and hits the monitor of the PC making everything over there blurred.

CUT TO:

the same pair of hand, gets back to work. khtakhat khat khat khat.

CUT TO:

DJ smiles after reading some msg from someone in his cell phone, that "you know what i mean" smile and look in his eyes. lies down from his almost lieing position and stares at the roof for a while. looks around and sees kaka busy working.

(hitting lightly kaka with his leg)

KAKA

(angry)

takes out three smoking jumbo large papers and sticks them end to end, takes a handfull of stuff and roles into a jumbo joint. once done takes it completely in mouth and gives a filthy blow job. sticks it to his lips and lights. khat of the zippo and chrrr of freshly lighting joint breaks the momentory silence that existed due to change of playlist. looks at the zippo.

Love Sex Aur ?Dhokha?

2010-08-31T19:37:00.000-07:00

hey guys wassup ?? i think we all are grown enough to talk about Love, Sex and the question marks on Dhokha. isnit ?? . now why all of a sudden am trying to write anything other then photography ?? well i always used to write but never used to publish.

NOTE : dude and babes if you cant take sarcastic comic relief or are not 18 yet then plz dont read further. it does contain obscene language and interpretations.

LOUVE !! dont you think it is over rated ? we all fall for people (for men) mostly its the cute chick next door or the girl who has got the biggest you know what i mean, some pseudo intellects go for the one who has got the sexiest glass in front of her eyes and can sit patiently to listen to his dumb fuck philosophies. men fall for chicks its obvious [am not talking about the intentions here, there can be N possibilities on WHY men fall for chicks]. and so do chicks fall for men, yes it does happen, though in current setup chicks never reveal that they have this you know what i mean in her heart for the stud next door. they fall for the tall, fair, big kashmiri guy with blue eyes who talks to her softly, or the rowdy rice plate around the corner who can make others shut the fuck up and drop her late at nights home [you see safety concerns] or as a matter of fact to have a someone she can call up anytime of day asking "kya 'hila' rahe ho" "kyun 'hila' rahe ho" "phone kahan ghusa ke baithe rehte ho" "mazaa to doston ke saath hi ata hai tumhe" or ask to get her THE medicines during THOSE days of her months. watever be the reason, once any of the other half has fallen he/she tries to get up and take him/her in bahon mein and if it goes well then voila "ISHAQ hua".

SEX !! you love, me love, lets make love :) see its simple two lovers sweating, spitting, exchanging bodily juices in the most funny postions is not SEX its LOUVE making. but ill use the biological term here and that is SEX. so once you have attained the hard earned title of lover and have published to the whole world by changing the relationship status of yours now in FB (previously in orkut), what next ? well if you have done this before then you know what it is and if you havnt done it before then you will definately want to know what it is this time (you dont want to miss it by a whisker this time unlike last time isnit ??). chicks give hints, take me out, when are we gonna marry, you know she does that to her BF, you know its like she is a bloody sex illeterate and you are her teacher. for men its easy, they will try to touch her THERE when his mouth is full of her tongue or talk dirty or double meaning stuffs to turn her on. its like a chuha billi ka khel for a while and then the moment comes when the LOUVE birds indulge into the experience.

?DHOKHA? !! this one is the question mark, LOUVE DONE, SEX DONE (a couple of times to utmost satisfaction). then comes the seriousness of LOUVE. the demands start looking not reasonable, the attitude bothers, the softness is just tad too soft, the friendliness is just too much to digest etc etc. he starts checking the chicks with bigger better you know what i mean and she starts checking the better understanding/ more compatible dumb fuck available around the corner, he can be anyone and most of the times its the crow sitting on top of tree keeping an eye on everything waiting for its own turn. and then it happens. one can compile a dictionary of words for this particular instance. wait it never stops here the crow was keeping an eye coz it fell in you know LOUVE.

if you find it disrespectfull or you know all sort of shits, i dont care.. get a life make it big or get a girl and do you know what i mean.

take care guys
