KHATRI: WATCHING A MOVIE


Khatri: watching a movie

Today khatri is watching a movie,
On his compaq laptop,
Wearing his favorite pair of chocolate brown undies.

Khatri doesn’t wanna be disturbed,
Still his roomies will go on to have an ice cream brick,
Hard to concentrate tonite he might not rehearse.

Khatri is watching this movie for the fifth time,
It’s about a woman who kills the man who taught her how to fight.

While watching Khatri hopes one day he himself will direct something exactly the same,
He looks around and finds out that he got only a couple of buddies that too not too sane,
On the wall there’s a mirror where he can see his face.

Then he wrote a script that only he can read,
Missed the ice cream, missed this weekend’s release.

He went to the wash basin to brush his teeth not once but thrice,
Coz he needed, three different shots from three different places at the same time.

His gums are bleeding,
Curling his hair with his fingers
Khatri sat down watching “Kill Bill” once more…
