When the mountain turned white

Dear Freinds,

This story is all about people who wear the - "White Dress" - they so - ardently wear all the time - Although White in certain religions might even be the color of Gloom - but here is where my Pot of Thot - suddenly catches fire -

- KYA SAFED KAPDE PEHENNE SE - MAN KO SHANTI MILTI HAI ?

- YA PHIR - JARURI NAHI - KI SAFED CHEEZON SE HI MAN KI SHANTI MILTI HO ?

- Let us first think of the best "Safed Things" that we desire hard in our lives for -

Example -

• Safed - Rasgulla
• Safed Dahi
• Safed Dhoodh
• Safed - Haathi
• Safed - Cheetah
• Safed - Girl - Friend - (Which is believe me the most "Extinct Species" even ahead of the junglee cheetah or the Mota Haathi)

In any case - after this exhaustive list on all - Things - So white - let me take a guess ! The girl before - Ur - marriage the last - One !!! was the ultimate - White Element - u saw on the Planet Earth - But because ur parents - Have a fetish for that Bronze Stuff - why because - She can sing / She can cook / She can even Divorce u - on Their indications .. so - In any case , lets come back to the normal story.

KYA SAFED KAPDE PEHENNE SE - MAN KO SHANTI MILTI HAI ?

My Answer -

If the above fact is true then , the world is wise enough - that it - provides every human being - A White Cloth - once he finishes he earthly realms. A gathering happens , people weep, widows mourn, children play, Uncles and Aunties - become more - Insecure - Kya gala number mera hai ? Cousins get to meet - once after all - And remember - Ki - Kaash ! Tumharey Sang beetey Woh Lamhe Ant Na Hotey ! Hum Kya Ban Gaye Hai Ab - Aur Bhala Kya Hote ? the most busy is the Son - or the eldest male member of this Household - who gets smashed under these Circumstnces - And almost shouts - My Name is Khan ! .....n I'm not in the Toilet.

But, on a serious note - White color to an extent has been called the color of God,

- White pigeons have always symbolized as the elements of peace.

- White snow - only - melts at Glaciers - from where the Water of Life (in the form of rivers) - starts to flow down to us.

- White is the color of the Clouds - that hover all of us. Get deep into the skin of that farmer - that thin, and creepy character, with equally thin and creepy Wife n Children all around him - When on that Saturday - He sees this 'White Cloud' hover well above his head - He sees - His dreams coming true. He has existed now. His life is a Miracle.

- When children come to this Earth - lets make a list of what they get - till they eventually have to again retard to that place called - Heaven !

• After Birth - ur Mother feeds you - The life of life - the liquid that we drink - No matter what we are - the Color of 'Milk' is White.
• Once you grow up a bit, and - The chocolates and the Breads attract you - Your mother stops feeding you - The first - thing - God Gives u - In ur Mouth - r ur - Sharp and Lovely - "White Tooth"
• On the day - you are ready to enter the Community - you are taken for a Baptism - but the Priest is staunch enough in Saying - "Baptisms can happen with only those children - Who are wearing "White Clothes"
• When you grow even further - and you start finding those - White Lipped - princesses in Your Church - time for you to get - Confirmed - creeps in - I'm sure atleast everyone here has atleast once visited a Confirmation Service - 'You get confirmed only in White Clothes' - the beginning of confirmation to all White Things that shall follow.
• The first "White Flower" ur Princess has got from you, (in my case it a light pink - Salwar Suit - very close to White Actually) , and her White Tooth, all shimmering in the Sun, Say ! "I Accept"

• All is possible but not without - the consent of these - White Dressed People - standing on the Dias --- and asking - You and ur Princess - Do you do - "And with white shimmering teeth - you Reply - I Do !"
• Alas ! this evening even gets deeper to all types of Whites - White Meat (Chicken getting served), Coffee having a white frothy top, White Rumali Rotis and the ever-green - White Pulao ---- dying to get plunged into.
• The chapter ahead of this - is the Exact replica - that I have already explained bullet-wise in the points above this one.
• But, when ur Son or Daughter - finally - leaves in a White car - with Their Prince n Princesses - you have this dull share of White's entering ur Life.

But this is how it is - Whiteness is what turns into darkness, and one of the Most favourite Quotes of my life -

'Everyone has talent . What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads' - Erica Jong

SECOND QUESTION -

- YA PHIR - JARURI NAHI - KI SAFED CHEEZON SE HI MAN KI SHANTI MILTI HO ?

My Answer -

Let me tell you about my fetish - for Leather Shoes - which one/year is kind of a Ritual I follow - I can't go without it - for me - it is that thing - I can beg / borrow / or even Steal.

Let me also talk about a friend who was - can afford to have any girl in the world - But his Loyalty - to this - puny - Looking - thin - yet extremely Talented girl - surprises me.

Then - My mother almost - refused to marry my father - Because he didn't have this on his face ...... He grew it in two months - n they have rolled in 30 years post marriage - without - that "little hurdle" - I forget I have seen it there on his face - in a pre-dominant manner (When I talk of this little monster that can effect ur Life and Lifestyle - I talk of ur Moustache)

Most of my Grand-MOther's freinds were - people with Not so white complexions, and a few, where in you - Think ! Have I just entered the "Rain-Forests" - I search for a ray of light. Govt. can just come up with a scheme of Hiring only very dark - people - Where there are chances of a War - Outbreak - in Manganese and Copper and Coal belts - beleive me - they'll save a lot on that Grease.

Or lets talk of these - extremely white Ukrainians or Hispanics - they die on Acid Rock in the Beaches of Goa (A small Union Territory of India) - known for Beach Tourism , for all its visitors - People White as Milk - wanting to get tanned. Are they maniacs. Or they are scared without that - They may live - Epileptic All Their Lives.

Or lets talk of - These giant mountains - The Great Himalayas and The Great K2 n Kanchenjungas - All topped with white colored snow ------

Alas ! What have just mentioned ??? White Snow on top - But on Top of What ???

White Snow - is Just the Cover - The icing on the cake ! What holds it so firmly, is not so White - and That is why - We say - All that glitters is not gold !! There is this universal truth about - 'The Beauty and The Bold'

What holds the Himalayas and the Kanchenjungas - so shiny and White ................ deep within - The Hard and Solid - Rock - as we call it - Dear Friends,

The Color of the Rock is Dark Brown .........

----- And as we all Know - the ice melts down ..................... and Rocks open up and flows out - is The Black - Molten Lava - that comes out . - like some old disease - Now leaving the Body ...

- Apart from the "Black" color - that I like instead of the WHITE - is the RED color -

- Why ?

I see so many - good things about - The Dark Reds - on the Princess' Lips

The Reds - my Mother had to - Get Drip by Drip - when she - Was Re-Couping that deadly sickness

All the red - eyes - That I see after - that night - before the Exam day ---- Some People Have Studied Hard

- And, all that - Red --- mixed in those - Ice-Creams - after - hard days Labour - Cherries

- Alas ! I just forgot all this RED color I use in my BLOG - HOW

- STOP BEING AN AS.....H...L...E

no insults intended ......

But, I'm sure for some of you like me - It would not take you to go to America to see - how White Gents - so passionately kiss their Dark - G......l..s

or

Contrary to that - see - All those "Dark Ladies" - even more passionately kissing their White H.....b.....s !!! (I think u got it right !!!)

Now I'm very Tired .....

Wud catch on later ...till then - sip some - Coffee or Drink - some White Milk - with Mango syrup in It ----- aka - Mango Shake

Chill n Regards

PM :)
