Moonlit 3 (based on true imagination)

From my window i could see my grandfather's house and in between the houses was a thechi flower tree that had and orchid plant that bore flowers in the shape or scorpions. After 12 and sometimes well past 12, at night, one of my closest friends used to come near the window and wake me up with his hesitant , " are you awake" questions. i remember him especially when the moon was almost full. the blue frog who had a green led on his head. i would wake up slow, open my eyes, see this guy, widen my arms and say "jump in". frog would slowly, with a smile, keep his right foot first on the window, then the second leg and come in, and once inside, take a jump and fall near me. i would lie down their with a smile while he would close to my face, his led shining so cool, and generally talk about something or the other. he was so entertaining that when she was free and not busy drinking any one's blood, brahnarakshas would join us. she reminded me of angelina jolie. sitting back on her chair, arms relaxed on either side, right leg over left and at times moving her head to manage her hair. these friends were never born, will never die. therefore when with them, i too am in a place where there is nothing birth or death has to do... non beginning and non ending and all that...

once i was travelling with my friend, his child, his wife and her brother in a SUV on a highway in kerala on a star lit night when we came to a portion with paddy fields on either side and a coconut estate starting at a distance in sight. we stopped the car. we had a three legged foldable furniture, made of carved wood and pieces of ivory. we opened the legs, placed the top in place, cut pieces of halwa on top of it and ate. we sat there for atleast four hours when my friend's wife felt asleep and we all got into the car. i drove after that, till dawn.

once power went off in god's office and moon was out for almost 7 minutes till he started his generator... he was not expecting the power cut!
