MIND-speed!!

08...07..06....I stare at the glaring fill of red, willing time to tick faster.Partly because I knew I was horribly late for office and...partly because I had the strange feeling that everything had come to a rude stand still in my direction while the world was heading at godspeed to where I had come from.Blind ,irrational hurry it seemed...yet amongst them was a chap,assumedly in his early teens animatedly engaged in a monologue as he sped past me on his flashy bike...01..00..Phew..I accelerate ahead hoping I would not be stopped again.I drift back to the pink pimpled face that I'd seen...There was something about his expression that split second...lost inspite of himself ,smiling away with someone special,oblivious to his surroundings...not connected to him by some obscure technology hidden behind the ear,but by stronger infalliable bonds of thought...
My brakes screech again...Oh damn! ...58..56...I giggle..The traffic police looked ridiculous waving at right angles in his office that had taken the form of a bright orange Miranda can. Promotion and advertising seems to have discovered that hues of humor are exactly what is missed and required in the frenzy pace the world keeps moving. I check the rear view mirror of my bike and I find two strange pair of eyes staring back at me.I look away embarrased.I have been smiling away to glory all by myself inviting the attention of curious neighbours...the pink faced boy flashes before me...the power of mind i think......28...27...I look around...and I go high again...leaving behind my physical self to cope up with the glaring red.
