The Time Thief

TIME THIEF...MUSINGS OF THE LAY.. I awoke an hour past mid-nite oh what peace everyone is dreaming made some warm milk cocoa turned radio on.. tv on am now multi-taskin.. stolen away by sweet sleep right there on the couch... couch potato now dreaming.. dreaming of strange lands dream tourism is in vogue... woken my house help preparing tea she gives me a puzzled stare.. may be the boxer shorts am wearing.. have her vexed.. cud be.shes just sleepy its already daylight.... already... partake a luke-warm shower. no time to get the water properly heated rushing to the shuttle stage.. boarding a shuttle..engaging the driver. alighting.... usual stage guru nanak hospital.. the guru ramgaria looks at me... or.. looks at the sky..we call him kalasinga i ponder what the good guru was thinking.. staring to the sky.. idle thought.. short walk i arrive... gad gados headquaters.... every one today is late..but... but the hr ...shes already in.. i say hello she appears not to hear.. i sleek slowly toward my work station TD B our receptionist arrives late.. we ponder over the why.. everyone's late come up with the time thief theory according to RU and TE.. May be the good guru knows... the guru on the poster daily trains... trains his creamy red eyes to the heaven in artistic communion.... the believers in him.. call him-enlightened one us.... we find all of them weird.. intolerance?.. the artistic guru was there when the superhighway was built... when the terrorist bombed a shuttle when our countries CEO was acquitted by the imperialist court.. the artistic guru must know must know.. who stole our time he keeps looking to the sky they say hes enlightened.. i say ted.. the guru knows.knows time. of time thief's and time snatchers here at gadgados we watch-out watch out against.. or for a different kind of thief who has a very long hand...
