United we stand. Divided we fall

13:15 hrs…
The sun beats down the earth and there’s hardly any separation between the TWO. Enter shade. They get conscious. Dark visions and solarised spots cause a constant discomfort and there’s a continuous process of separation and unity. At times they merge into one and lose sight and at times they move apart to gather light. Now feeling comfortable, there’s no more processes continuing; now it’s like the curve of a constant function. No disturbance at all. Everything is just perfectly alright.
Roll no.15..?? Present sir!
Now the curve has started suffering distortions. Again, they both come closer but just when they feel like its getting just too close they move apart in a flash and then like sands flowing out from a squeezed fist, they again, slowly but surely come close, even closer, n they fall over each other in an attempt to eternal silence n satisfaction. It feels good, feels good to be in that state of oblivion until… until someone’s elbow just pulls them apart. How rude and unfair!
But that elbow isn’t enough to deter the TWO. They have always been together, ever since they have come on this planet. It’s a fact and no one can deny that. Its natural tendency to get attracted, something that is beyond self control and conscience. May be it’s the law of nature, if you are an atheist and if you are not it’s God’s created attribute.
30 minutes have passed!
Now it’s unstoppable. It’s no more a battle now. It’s almost a settlement. They have decided, come what may, they won’t fall apart. No matter how loud the scream of your enemy is, how much space you are left with. They are together. Streaks of hair interlocking between themselves, fluids causing sedation, thoughts come flooding, some pleasant, some disturbing, and some, sheer imagination. The experience is sublime yet surreal. A sense of accomplishment engulfs and they are not TWO but one now.
14:15 hrs…
1 hour has passed!
It’s time to part so that satisfaction doesn’t turn into complacency. Hairs unlock, fluids wiped out. But what has it got to do with time? 1 hour?
The class is over!
And a friend greets you with a "good afternoon"
And all you say is " what a sound sleep"
The TWO eyelids have finally separated. The dream is gone, attendance is earned, and you have enjoyed the whole experience.
The next day, there’s a picture of mine in an a social networking website titled "caught in action ".
N.B: How can an elbow pull apart something? :P

... i think debi bhai just imagined himself as just another 1 of his surrounding sea of "kumbhakarans"... in his classes.(believe me... his eye lids repel each other, n he is too busy taking snaps f his fellow beings who r peacefully asleep)...

too unjustified f him to disrespect the sleeper class.
