Numb.

How can a thing which is so simple to say can get so complicated to comprehend? Is it me? Am I really so bad at putting things across? And I thought I was pretty lucid till now. Or is there a deeper malady to all this which I can feel yet not diagnose. I've become so numb. I've become so tired, so much more aware..................

The story starts in the year 2006 0r maybe 07. One night while surfing channels I came across U.S Top 10 on Star Movies. There I watched the trailor or of a movie called "Into the Wild" for the first time. I got very intrigued by the plot of a young man hitch hiking all the way to Alaska to see if he could survive in the wild. Amazing cinematography had to be there when the subject involves mountain and forests. Even the song they played in the promo was very apt. Meaning ful and inspiring. I took down the name of the movie on my cell so that I don't forget. The chances of such an off beat movie ever coming to the theaters in Lucknow were pretty remote so tried to get it from the local video parlours and the various music shops. As expected no one had even heard of it. My search continued for a couple of months more and I looked for it even in Bangalore and Delhi without any success . The story restarts after a long break in March, 2009. We went to Gurgaon to meet Ayus

The supersonic, psychotic monkeys (or maybe one monkey with her baby) was in Jammu . Out to get my ass, I was saved by Suzana who's trying her best to get a nip on the monkey. I was standing in the lawn and she seemed hell bent to bite me for some reason. The monkey is zipping on the boundary wall and propelling herself from the shesham tree near the waterfall. Divya is also there and I'm equally perplexed as what is she doing there, all the way from Banda . In the end I try to kick her and she almost gets a nip on my leg while Suzana is almost going to get a nip on her.....and I wake up with a start! Before this in another dream I have this information that someone is out to kill/hurt me and I am put up in a hostel. I'm more wary then afraid. Nitin is in the room next to mine and I'm sitting there. A window/g
