3 AM

Have you ever witnessed a 3am horror?

When the lights are out, and you can visualise, in the darkness, your fear taking shape.

Have you ever felt it to be real?

Was it ever, in fact, real?

Mumbai

His movie was releasing all over the country. He took his Mom for the First Day First Show screening. Being from a poor family, his mother had never visited a cinema hall. He wanted her to witness his success today.

The cinema hall was packed. Audience clapped in almost every scene.

Post the climax, his Mom asked, "The movie was nice, but where are you in it?"

He pointed towards the screen. The end credits rolling out had his name in bold: "Spot Boy: Vikas Anand."

His Mom had never been happier. Her son had made it into Bollywood.

even fish did fly

in the kingdom of his dreams

they called him crazy

Red And White

three unicorns red

and a multitude of white

singing from the castle

on a winter's moonlit night

I look out my window

and smile at the sight

why not believe in magic

when it seems just so right
