Kadwi Sachhai

A*****: tum kya kar rahi ho?

me: kuch nahi

2:02 AM A*****: bahot raat ho chuki hai

padmini bhi hai kya?

me: haan 2 baje hain

kya main tumhe kuch bata sakti hoon

?

2:03 AM A*****: ji

2:04 AM me: nahi tum vishwas nahi karoge

A*****: umm

bolo

me: aur shayad mera mazak bhi banoge

fine

A*****: nahin banaunga mazaak

2:05 AM me: so that makes u like the first person i am telling this after my dadi

she told me to not tell anyone

and to forget about it

A*****: umhmm

me: abhi tumne bola ki bhaut raat ho chuki hai

maine ghadi dekhi

2 bajke 2 minute hue the

2:06 AM A*****: uhuh

me: tumhe isme kuch ajeeb lagta hai kya

A*****: nahin

roz bajte hain 2:02am

most nights mein apni aankhon se dekhta hoon

me: since the time that i was 4 years old

2:07 AM actually let me start from the shuruaat

my father died when i was 4

A*****: oh..i'm sorry

me: my mausi called us from the hospital, my mother was inconsolable

A*****: uhuh

me: that very second i remember looking at the clock

2:08 AM and it said 1:01 (pm ... he died in the afternoon)

then every time

every single time that i have ever looked at the clock or my wrist watch or any other frwakingwatch in the world

it has been

2:09 AM 1:01 or 2:02 or 3:03 or 4:04 or 5:05 or 6:06 or 7:7

A*****: oh

me: it can be any time

A*****: i'll admit...that is rather strange

me: any freaking time at all

and i do not wear a wrist watch becaus eof that

it freake dme out as a kid

2:10 AM A*****: i can imagine

me: when u said bahut raat ho chuki hai... i knew it exactly what time it would be

every time

i finshed eveyr one of my exam papers at 11:11

A*****: weird

me: wihtout fail... revision and all

2:11 AM why do u think that is... my mother tells me to forget about it

A*****: umm

here's a thought

is it possible

since you noticed that bit of time

as an event

2:12 AM thus whenever you look at a watch and the time IS in that format

you DO notice it

and whenever you've just looked at a clock and the time is in any other format... it doesn't kinda..register

know what i mean?

me: no

because

2:13 AM i saw a shrink for this when i was 10

i almost had a nervous breakdown

and the shrink said dont look at watches dont worry about time

and now i am all grown up

i see time

i need to right?

and if its around 7

A*****: yes

2:14 AM me: and someone asks me what time it is

i say its 7:07

and it is

every day

every night

every moment i know the time

i am not haunted or anything

2:15 AM and i dont even dream of my father all that much anymore... but its just creepy right

A*****: its very odd

me: i wish all the clocks would die

i hate clocks

A*****: can i ask you something though?

me: shoot

A*****: this is a phenomena i admit

but why...scary one?

why bad?

2:16 AM me: because for every minute of the last 21 years of my life i know what time is it A*****... i dont need to look at a watch

i know

and whenver i am asked it is in pairs like i gave examples of

A*****: and most people....would say that's a surprisingly...good thing?

me: it is not

2:17 AM A*****: why not

me: it is strange and it gave me bad dreams, i dreamt of bad things and i knew the time.

i know in my sleep exactly when i am going to be woken up

2:18 AM i cant dream in peace

anyway

hope u dont tell people

it sucks

u wont undersand

A*****: am not telling anyone

and i'm thinking...it is very strange...very weird...very odd..

me: i know i know

A*****: but i'm also thinking..

me: my mum knows

my dadi knew

my sister knows

A*****: that by now maybe it's scary...because it got attached to fear somehow?

2:19 AM me: evern my brother doesnt know

2:22 AM A*****: kyun darr hai

anvita?

me: bolo

darr toh kuch nahi hai...

bas ek ajeeb si baat hoti hai aksar yeh waqt ko lekat

2:25 AM A*****: thats easy to see

it can become kinda...freaky

2:27 AM me: i know

2:28 AM but i have learned to live with it

A*****: but its an interesting freaky

2:29 AM me: hmmm

2:30 AM tumhare saath hota toh kya karte

saari zindagi

har ek pal

aur ghadi dehko toh jaise mazak bana rahi toh tumhara

2:31 AM A*****: dont know...really

2:32 AM its like one of those things I'd probably just keep believing its a coincidence every time it'd happen

because supernatural explanations don't comfort me

2:33 AM me: yeah some conincidence 21 years in a row...

not supernatural

just unexplained?

A*****: well its not natural!

2:34 AM natural is that one doesn't TIME their glances towards a clock

me: no but sometimes things happen outside of our understanding

they are not wrong or false just that we dont understand them - my dadi gave me this bull

i still get freaked out

2:35 AM A*****: i dunno...maybe your internal body clock is much more precise than you give it credit for

and by now it's finely attuned to this kinda timing

1:01, 2:02, 3:03, 4:04, 5:05...etc.

me: it is not

dude

A*****: body clocks ARE pretty precise actually

me: come one

they just be

2:36 AM but it isnt in my case

how do i know what time i will be woken up

A*****: coz you're expecting to wake up at that time

and your body clock accepts it as the wake up time

me: and dude please beleive me

i know it

A*****: it turns your expectation into proposition

2:37 AM me: i have lived it

A*****: i believe you..that's why i'm trying to find explanations

me: i dont believe in supernatural

maybe

it is around

but i dont believe in it... but its unusual... fortget we ever spoke of this,,, lets of somethig else

2:38 AM A*****: but why could it not be a very strangely precise body clock thing?

me: it is not

A*****: i count on that for waking up in the morning

but just about that

2:39 AM each morning i'm up exactly 5 minutes before the alarm goes off

me: ok... i dont need to look at a clock jackass,,,

ever]

A*****: umm

me: how do u explain i can tell time when other peole ask me the time

A*****: body clock really doesn't sync up to actual "Clock" outside of the body you know

its just your internal sense of time

2:40 AM me: hmmmm

bolte raho

2:41 AM shayad tum sahi ho

i should contact guiness book of record

s

accha yeh bolo

rather batao

2:42 AM ki tumne jab waqt ka zikar kiya toh 2:02 min kyon ho rahe the? log hamesha 3:03 ya 11:011 pe wqat ka zikra kyon karte hain mere samne...

2:43 AM A*****: hmmm

THAT is def odd

me: accha jaane de please

2:44 AM ab doobaara baat nahi karenge iske baare mien,,, muhje man kiya toh tumhe baata diya

even padmini doesnt know all of it

2:46 AM A*****: ok

thank you.
