Inertia

'You know what? the world has come to a halt. It has stopped. Since when I don’t know but one thing I am sure, it is stationary, still and getting infested and rotten as the time is passing’ ‘hahaha how can you even say that? I don’t believe that you are that pessimistic. Look everything is fine. Just see outside this window. Everything is perfectly fine. The city is gleaming with wonderful lights. People love to get out on roads, to hotels, in parks, and spend quality time. Just look at that little cute girl. How happy she is. I am simply amazed; I don’t believe a person like you can ever think like that

Inertia, do you know what inertia is? '

‘Yes of course’

‘Of course, your papa wanted you to be a doctor and you just fell in love with art and literature. You do know what Inertia is’

‘Why you always make fun of it. Yes, he wanted me to be a doctor. What’s wrong with that. Every parent in this country wants his children to be doctors. But I did convince him otherwise and here I am sitting with you in this café. Hahaha rather sitting with a person who has such a weird view of this beautiful universe’

‘Aah, here you are getting me wrong. I didn’t say ‘the universe’ is getting rotten. The universe is perfectly alright. It’s raw. All on its own. Pure. Going on as it always was. Just like the free fall of the water falling from the highest point of a mountain. The universe is perfectly alright but the world, where men have worked a lot to pull the hand brake to bring this world to a halt, and the world goes c h e e e e e e e n n n n n n n n n n n n n … . . thudddddd… or maybe turned it upside down. Yes that’s great I might get a good view if I also turn myself upside down.. you know two negatives make it positive. Let me try’ ‘don’t don’t don’t do this.. What the hell are you doing? People are watching’

People are watching’

‘Of course, it is so Mr. Art lover whom it never loved back. Whose proposal is always rejected? Art will never marry you…hahaha

‘You know what, my sciensy girl, the real love story doesn’t happen when your love says ‘yes’ but it really happens when your love says no or does not say at all.’

‘You and your theories, I bet you will end up bachelor all your life; you never had science and neither art is going to accept you.’…………….’ now tell me how on earth you believe that world has come to a halt and not moving at all and if it is inertia then how could on earth It could be stopped separating itself from the rest of this universe which according to your romantic imagination is moving freely

‘Yessss. You are right. How on earth I could stop as inertia says, it keeps moving if it is in motion. Yessss… as I have already told you. we have put it to a halt.. Just like Nietchsee says, ‘we have KILLED HIM’ we have brought it to a stop. I don’t know exactly when. Maybe at the turn of twenty-first century which began with a BAAANNNNGGGG or maybe a century ago or many centuries or maybe when the first man for the first time just left the mysterious caves and jungles and made a stone Axe and put a hole in the earth to make it fertile to grow crops as if it were barren before man’s magical tools cultivated it. I don’t know when exactly it happened. But I am quite sure, It has stopped and men are crawling on it. Just counting their remaining meager amount of days. They are desperate now but I am dead sure the species called man is the most endangered species on this earth but we are never gonna put it on record or try anything for his survival.

‘Hahaha, you are funny. You know what. You need to see a psychiatrist. You are just creating stories when actually you are pathetically, ironically, idiotically and ridiculously failed to write anything for our annual theatre fest. The three-time fest winner writer has come up with infested world endangered species theory when he is failed in creating something important for himself.’…………….. ‘you are too funny’

Where is evolution, where is movement, where is love. Nothing. Nowhere to be seen. Every romantic movie is just the shadow of those stories. The ancient men were far better better than us. Their myths were so beautiful but what we have done with all those myths. We have destroyed our world and blamed them for that

‘So, Mr. writer, then do write that love story. I would love to be the first listener to your grand love tale. Bring your new Romeo Juliet. Be the new Shakespeare or Waris Shah. Who stops you? come on help the world to move again. Be the force. I would be the luckiest person to be with you. I would wave hands to the stars when our world start moving again and say to them. Hey…stars look we are back in the business. We are moving again. We are going to catch you no matter how many light years we are behind you, like the turtle who had a slow start. Hahaha. You are just impossible’ ‘No I can’t. In the state of intertia. I can’t. You know why Waris Shah could write Heer Ranjha. Because they were there in the society. love was there and it is not here anymore’.

‘uffff.. Your philosophies.. Now I really want to know what happened to your script.’

‘Yes..it is ready’

‘Then produce it immediately and read it to me before I finish my third cup of coffee'

‘it’s locked in here.. as Shakespeare says in ‘Shakespeare in Love. I gotta go. I have to run home. You will have your script in a couple of days. Rather I will see you right here the day after tomorrow’

‘With a script?’

‘Yes with a script. And I know you are not going anywhere. You will be right here as the world is static. You can’t move. Hahaha’

‘haha yes of course. But at least tell me what is the title?

Inertia’
