Its raining and I am listenin to yellow by coldplay. Its been raining all day today. God’s bladder has been overflowing and the Sunday has not been sunny at all. As I aimlessly punch the alphabets on this black Logitech keyboard, it has started raining heavily again and with the wind a lil rainwater sprays on my shirtless body. As I look out of the my open window on my right, is a young palm tree, at the other end of the playground from my house, with its bright glistening green fledgling leaves swirling in joy under a white neon tube-light seems like the head of a young girl swaying, losing herself, at a rave - in slow motion. The reflection of the neon light in the water clogged playground has the form of an hour-glass. Aother coconut tree, a little farther and much higher, sways and the movement is similar… just that the older tree is a silhouette against the background of an orange sky.
The sky is orange because of a huge chemical plant many kilometers from where I live has many chimneys that spew flames. On some days, the sky glows like the indicator of a car. It brightens and fades alternately… that is when the flames are flickering. I remember losing sleep over this strangely glowing sky as a child. I could not go to bed unless I had my mother by my side to give me a reassurance. I do not know what the reassurance exactly was about, but yeah… that was the only thing that could have me sleep – reassured.
As I listen to ‘yellow’, probably the fifth or sixth time in succession, it asks me to look at the stars and how they shine for me… and everything I do. I try to, but there are none that I can see.
And there goes my cell phone and I have to convince the person that I wasn’t sleeping. So, I am going to chat with that person online when we’re there. And ‘yellow’ tells me.. "the cloud is shining for you-ooo"! Yes, the clouds shine another shade of yellow.
I’ll listen to yellow another time as I chat with the person who’s just arrived online…. Cheers!
