Navrang


Paddling his bicycle down from Maya Academy of Cinematic, Manav found himself caught in slow moving traffic at Rasulgarh. Cycling to keep in check his growing belly was proving a tiresome job during the evening traffic.  He pulled his bike aside on highway bridge to enjoy the wind and magnificent view of Mahanadi distributaries'.  As he locked his bike, his eyes felt upon a handsome college boy enjoying the sunset.

A fight started in his mind, should he approach the guy or not.  He imagined himself going over to him and saying 'hay dude, you are so breath taking handsome, you stole my heart. I love you!' but then himself dismissed the idea of this 'nautanki', visualizing the reaction of the kid to preposterous proposal by a guy in his late twenties with a pink shirt. 
Thinking about the pretext to start a conversation, he thought about going over to him and giving his 'sadu baba gyan' about life and happiness. A sinister smile sprouted across his cheeks as a triumphant idea about writing a screenplay about him flashed across his mind. The idea was good, but the kid may not be interested in letting someone write about him, so his mind wandered to assimilate a few decent words, regal enough to convince the kid to come to his abode and get a portrait painted.  
 The 'scientist' in his conscience kept experimenting with the hormones and the ambiance with a hot kid did finally lead to a tingle down there. 

Manav finally walked his bike to the guy and asked,

'what's the time?'
 'don't have a watch', said the kid with a shrug.


Kid watched Manav peddle away and thought, 'he was so cuddly, almost like a rabbit'
He put his hands in the sweat shirt and started walking in other direction thinking, 'if only he were gay'.
