Raat ka Shauk Hai...

Raat ka shauk hai...raat ki saundhi si khamoshi ka shauk hai...

The real player plays the song in a loop...1...2...3...4...n. The raindrops outside are contributing to the music in their own way. Its well past midnight and he is still wide awake...lost...lost in memories. He desperately wants to sleep but as his eyes close he enters the wonderful world of memories. He remembers something and laughs to himself and again tries to sleep but in vain. Then it hits him...a desperate urge to speak to someone. He gets up, puts on the light, finds a calling card and dials the number...but...no luck there to. He gets irritated now. Usually music gives him the high and he sleeps listening to songs but not today (or tonight?). And suddenly he starts liking it. The loneliness...the silent night...the slow song...and he wonders which one is more slow...the song or his own life?

And just then...the phone rings. A short call...and he goes to sleep...humming...

Raat ka shauk hai...ho...shauk hai...
