Blowing Wind :)

To Charla, for making people happy. :)

"Oye! Dhyaan se! Don't fall off." Niharika stared at Rohan as he stood leaning from the train compartment door. The wind blew through his hair making it look like a comet's tail. The wind pierced it's way through his eyes forcing them to close. After some time he turned to Niharika and said, "Wanna try?"

"Pagal hain. I don't wanna do this,"

"Come on. Please"

"Okay," she said. Her eyes had that tinge of excitement, which probably everyone has when they do something 'awesome' for the first time.

"Great! Now hold these two bars and look outside" instructed Rohan.
And Niharika did accordingly. And the wind blew through her hair. And it pierced her eyes. But she kept looking outside. The wind has it's own magic.
Rohan then took over and started looking outside. And then he yelled.

"Fuck You!"

"Dude why did you do that," asked Niki(typing Niharika again again is slighting irritating)

"Man, I like standing here. It's like the wind is strong, but you can cut right through it and stay unaffected. Duniya bhi aisi kamini cheez hain. It fucks you, but you hardly come out unaffected. The world changes you. You fit yourself in the world. But here you can just be you, and still win. I like it. Oh and I love the way the wind blows into my hair. It's so cool."

Both of them smiled. Rohan was now just standing at the door.
Niki asked,"So tell me one thing, is changing yourself the only way to face the world?"

"Certainly not. You can change the world. But changing yourself is just easier and the benefit is immediate"

"True." replied Niki.

"Dooooood(Dude) look at that!!" Rohan said pointing at a random field.

"What?" asked Niki

"It's a scare-crow! In an actual field! Have you ever seen one?"

"No, but okay." she said smilingly.

At that point Devna came.

"Tell me you've come to brush your teeth" said Rohan.

"No, what are you guys upto?"

"Aye haye. We just saw a scare-crow. Isn't that awesome? Have you ever seen one?" said an excited Rohan.

Devna made a weird expression and said "Of course I have. Maybe you should camp in the country side more."

Everyone started laughing.

"Acha I have to take a piss, so bye!" And Devna left.

"Dooooood, look outside. What the fuck is this? Trees. Fields. No animals. And more trees. What is this? Kaun rehta hain yahan? And do these people vote?" asked Rohan.

"Hmm...True."

"Man, you know what would be super awesome, that if we were dictators with supernatural powers. And then we could destroy these pseudo-hills with like some great flashing red light coming from our palm." said Rohan.

"No yaar. People would get killed" said Niki.

"Gee. You are an altruist. So how about we come to these tree areas once in a year, show off our flashing power to the people and go back?"

"Yah that's nice. You are truly a power hungry slut. You know what I think about this?"

"Nahi. Batao."

"I think this is very romantic."

"It is."

And they smiled, still looking outside, hoping that one day they would stand here with the person they love.

"You wanna go back?" said Rohan.

"Yeah. Let's go back." said Niki.

And they walked back inside. And the wind continued to blow.
