they run a commoner's club.. all brutally alike in each and every aspect.. after all they both are the 23 club members.. and cancerians on top of that.. and that results in one hell of a combo.. fosho!
and their's is one real roller coaster ride..
it started on a high..
a real highest high.. kicked off real well.. it had the perfect "cancerian" preferred background.. long distance travel, in the night..everyone around in deep slumber amidst total darkness.. the only sound coming was the rythmic chugging of the train and the only illuminating source was the gleam of the distant light coming in through the window of the train.. and they had the entire night to them.. all by themselves..and they sat through the whole night.. sat close.. never moved.. never changed positions.. never wanted to.. the night gave way to one week of being together.. and yes, they had the whole week's worth nights to themselves.. in their savoured solitude..
and then it started coming down.. and well, it was caught unawares so it had a real bad fall! neither of them spoke upfront.. only communicated in "answering syllables".. and suddenly all the warmth disappeared.. like it was sucked away by some real powerful suction pump at work..
and then again as fate would have it.. people around them, (un)knowingly started putting them together.. almost everytime and every occassion.. the conversations increased.. in gradual steps.. the awkwardness still hung about.. but during that time in space, it was just like that train journey moments.. coz, they both knew what the other meant to say.. cancerians.. and clones.. a deadly combination..
and today, after a quarter of a year (yes, it took that long a time), they were (again) set up together.. packed off to a place 30 kms away, for the entire day.. and try however hard as they may, the innate comfort level does mange to seep into and through their (till then) controlled demenour.. and it started with "atheist" and "agnostic".. the fav topic of discussion for both.. and both having the identical views on it.. (obvious (sic)) and frpom then on, there was no turning back.. it was just like the train journey quarter of a year back.. and yes, it had the same cancerian preferred travel set-up.. dark moonless night, and cold chilly winter air, piercing through them as they rode their way back..
yes.. 23 is always equal to "23"!
