He unlocked the lock and waited for some moments after removing the lock from its position. Then he gently opened the door by pushing it forward so that it made a quite rotation about its hinge point. He again waited for a few seconds hoping to find some surprise inside, without entering that room. But he was sure to find none as a he stayed alone in that rented single-room.
On entering he found the same stench smell that had conquered the room since time immemorial. He was suddenly reminded of the pathetic situation in which his own state was in. haunted by epidemic deaths and natural disasters, it was as if the hell was suddenly transferred to earth. After all ones hell and heaven are in ones own heart.
After changing his clothes and taking a comfortable posture of sitting on his not-so-comfortable chair, he spent a few moments to ponder over his one-more boring day at the college. He never wanted to be there, but choices are sometimes made from a bunch of odd choices. This lets you to choose a bad choice from a puddle of worst choices. So it zeroes into better than the worst choice possible.
Silence has always been his best company in that lodging. Without interacting with the neighbors, he had isolated himself to create a world of his own. As he had reached the last year in the college, his remained exceptional from others by being a non-smoker and a non-drinker, even though he was just an average student and a perfect introvert in the college. He lodgings were outside the campus, thus he had kept himself devoid of any sort of company with his classmates even after the class hours. The guys next door either belonged to the same year but a different branch or were his juniors. Their rustles and bustles often gave him sleepless nights, but he ever stayed uncomplaining and calm.
In the world he had created, he had formed an ideal duplicate image of the real world, but there he had set the boundaries by power of politics, psychology, anthropology, economics and every other known subject that dealt with human behaviour. His world was concentrated on unknown subjects, which indirectly controlled the lives of millions of people in the real world. Even though with these whole ideas, he could have well been classified as “another introvert-conspiracy theorist trying to see things from a different angle, but not in the right one”.
He knew that the real world was not about what one believed in and how one thought, but everything was about how and when one acts. For him, the real world was a conflict between the powerful and powerless. Everyday some powerless person attempts to become powerful, for his own goodness. If he succeeds, he joins the powerful lot or else he falls back into the gutters of powerless losers. But the nature always keeps its balance. When one more powerful entity is created, one more powerless entity is also generated. One powerful soul attempts to change the whole system, trying to make a difference, a confused soul betrays the other powerful lot. But the powerful is not going to withstand this betrayal. They betray him, to render him powerless with a fall so gigantic that a return to the altar of power becomes totally impossible for him. No one dares to help him out unless his deeds bail him out.
The two classes separated by the indelible corridor of power ran his world. Whether it is local, regional, national or international scenarios, all were the same for him. It was, is and will be power that dictates the course of his world. Only it matters now power is defined. All through his life, it was might, charms and grades that defined power, whether it was his school or college or his family. Unlike many other young frustrated souls around him, he knew he could make a difference and there was always a path to that goal. A path that has stayed hidden from him until he is up to knight out that route. He believes that everyone has such a path before his eyes, but it takes time before he realizes the path and its significance. But time is not handy and by the time the person realizes his route to redemption he may be already inside his tomb, taking a good long sleep before God knows what may happen.
He always believed in God. Capital “G” indicates the significance of the entity to which he has always dedicated that title. Even though he was a man of science and a student of technology he believed in the existence of a supreme being as his study of the complexity of man-made objects has always made him realize the multitude of complexity of man. It has always been a controversial topic. He never debated with anyone on such topics, because such a debate could sometimes make you a winner but it could also add a bad enemy or subtract a good friend. He has seen the extreme left and the extreme right on topics of wide range, but he has always kept to his unbreakable code of integrity and self-consciousness.
