I think I saw blood

Pushpanjali died.
On 27th, wednesday.
Some time between 3:30- 4:30
I found out about the matter in the bus after coaching. Megh said it might be murder, which caused me to laugh. The general news was that a girl cut the grill of the room window and jumped. No one knew who it was, but everyone was guessing. I found out her name when prachi called me to talk about the matter. She heard about the matter on tv. I went to watch tv too and find out more when harshit called. He was the one who confirmed that she had jumped from the bathroom window after authog the grill (the news channels had been confusing me by making up stories of her falling of balconies). He also told me that she was in C. I was really happy that i didn't know her as i knew i'd be depressed if i did.
No one had a clue why she suicided. She got almost full marks in all subjects. She was damn intelligent. Apparently, she was stressed.
The whole atmosphere was tense in school the next day. There was an assembly for her. People who didn't know her came and said that she was a beautiful child (that was divya)
All the head boys and head girls and a couple of more appointees, and the reps, the warden, the CT and the vice princi's were forced to say something about her. Almost all ended their speech (2 liners) with 'may her soul rest in peace'. The line got on my nerves after the first 100 times.
Ppl from C cried that day. Ppl in my class who knew her (quite a few, as 90% of my class are hostelers), were depressed. I was in a bit of a sucky mood too. I found it hard to maintain my usual happy 4 no reason mood.

And of course, the matter about me and sam maybe having seen blood didn't exactly improve my mood.
On wed, after coaching, i and sam went to get ice cream from the OAT vala area. There we saw that the ice cream shop was closed, so we loitered around there only. Then, i saw this puddle of something red. It was dry and shiny, like the paint on metals. I thought it was paint, and went 'ooo, dekho, dekho, khoon!'
and sam was like, 'haan, lagta hai koi mar gaya...'
and we generally crapped around.
On thursday, when we went to that area again, there was no sign of the puddle having existed.
Creepy.

Don't think twice, it's alright. Especially when you can't do anything about it.

Did they really do that? Man, that's so stereotypical of them. No fireworks? No idiots with rifles? No tears? Nothing? Boring. I am so glad, that I bunked that stupid assembly.

After all, these people are a bunch of hypocrites, the funny thing is that they know that their whole act is a big farce. They know it and everyone else does too, it's amazing that somehow no one really talks about it. Somehow, we've all mutually agreed that talking about our bullshit is off limits. Isn't that so boring? If people really did care, then such things wouldn't happen in the first place.

I've told people that the human species is under threat and I've seen them shake their heads and say "that's so sad", but I've never, ever seen anyone do something about it.

We're not really good at thinking out of the box are we?

Oh and in my view, this whole charade after her death is entertaining as hell. I mean this has to be the best show on earth. I am having the time of my life. I simply love it when an inherently flawed system begins to disintegrate.

Who needs movies when you have this shit? All you need is some popcorn to enjoy the show.

Oh and don't tell me that I am some sort of freak, after all, are you doing anything better to change things? At least I am having fun.

So don't think twice, it's alright.

you're sadistic.
but well, so am i sometimes.

I don't know if they ever think about what the person for whom they're doing all this would have wanted them to do. Whatever it was, it can't've been this.

Midnight Sun said...

come on, we all know it was just an 'i'm going to pretend i care' show. Believe me, i don't think any one actually did...

"Pushpanjali was a beautiful girl."
Like, how many of them had ever seen her?

Quicksilver said...
