Party

Come here, come with me... What? you want to listen to a song? Ok I'll sing "Country Roads" for you.

But come out with me. I know its 12:30 at night and no one's outside. But let me show you what I see.Look there between those buildings. The peeking green hoarding far into the distance. As if wanting to come here and join us. Can you read whats written on it? Ha ha even I can't, but isn't it beautiful... In a dark blue sky with silver white moon and sparkling stars, doesn't this aberration look pleasing? Well you've got to see it through my eyes.

Ok let me try something else. Why don't you come with me on the lawn. Look at these glowing lamp posts circling the lawn. Don't they look like yellow candles on a green apple cake. Yes its a cake. This is a party. Party I have thrown for you. Its your birthday. [laughs] I know you were born on 13th June. How does the date matter anyways. What? You want me to change the song? Ok I'll sing "Someone like you" for you.

Why don't you come out and dance with me. What? No we are not alone. See that bored monkey shaped bin, doesn't it seem to be waiting for you to tap your feet. Look at all these deceptively shy cars, look at the faint smile they are wearing. As if hiding to burst out shouting and dancing on announcement of a surprise birthday party. Your birthday party... What? [laughs] I know you were born on 13th June.

Ok let me try something else. look at these buildings, all ten of them. Don't they seem to be standing hand-folded waiting for you to come out and sit on that bench below that glowing candle? And see there's a fire-fly also up above. No silly its not an airplane. You've got to see it through my eyes. What? Do you want me to change the song. I'll sing "Mr. Tambourine Man" for you.

No wait. We all will sing it for you. The peeking green hoarding, the bored monkey bin, the deceptively shy cars the hand-folded buildings and the firefly airplanes. Come out. Sit on that bench. We all will sing and dance for you. Any song you want us to. What? Ok we'll sing "Chasing Cars" for you.

Its your party tonight. We all are here for you tonight. After all its your birthday. What? Ok may be you were not born on this day. But what difference does it make; one of these days I think I am born again. Ya it could be today or a month back. But who cares. I am happy today and so are you.

Its our party tonight. And everyone's invited... The peeking aberration, the waiting monkey, the deceptively shy guests, the fire-flies and the hand-folded guys. Blow the candles off and enjoy the green cake.

What? you want me to change the song? Ok, we'll sing "Country roads" again for you.
