SLOW JAM


I picked up the phone. Dialed 1800-191-6734-0987-124-123-3123. 

'Maanus tum sanchaar karun icchhita, azun out aahe. Nantar call kara'

'Aap jis aurat se sampark karna chahte hain vo filhaal talli hain. Aap kal sampark saadhne ki koshish karien..dhanyawaad'

The call was made. It wasn't the right time though. Paakhi had achieved it. She was in the slow jam state . Her head smiling, lips buzzing and heart slowing down with the music. 

Bass hits you hard in the head. Involuntarily, the heartbeats slow down. In perfect sync with the trance. 

I could feel my phone buzzing. I picked it up. It was Paakhi.

Paakhi : Faa..ast tell me what goes well with monk?

Me : Umm..thums up..

Paakhi : noo..noo..no I mean the chakhna..aa..

Me : eh? what!?

Pakhi: Can I eat Saturn rings? 

Me : Whaat?!

Pakhi: Do you know the moon is made of Mayonnaise...I can dip those saturn rings in the moon mayo.

Me : Umm..I guess so..

Pakhi : The moon would be pissed off..is it?

Me : No no, it already has so many craters. Don't ask for too much of Mayo though. Okay?

Pakhi : Okaaay..bye.

She cut the call. I picked up the phone. Punched in a few random numbers.

A lady picked up the phone. 

'Press 1 to enter the receiver''Press 2 for zilch''Press 3 for massage'

My fingers were all over the keypad. The last finger hardly made a move. Lazy fingertip. I pressed 2. The spiral sucked me in. I was falling deeper and deeper into nothingness. My phone buzzed again. It was Pakhi.

Pakhi: I need help!

Me : Where? What? *buzzing*

Pakhi: There is a Kangaroo stuck in the tubelight.

Me : what!? 

Pakhi: Should I call those fire guys?

Me : No wait. It will die. Tube light has neon.

Pakhi: Oh..is it? Oh okay. Where are you?

Me : I am in a rabbit hole.

Pakhi: Damn the rabbit..remember the slow jam.

It sucked me in. I was in there for about one light year. I was back to the Dark Age. It was the slow jam state I think. Paakhi was somewhere in there. I called her up.

Me: I am in the slow jam state. Standing near the Pumpkin Paradise.

Paakhi: I am indoor swimming at the space station. Wait for me. I'll be there in a light year.

MeYou have enough ethanol?

Paakhi: Yes.

I slept off. I got up. I was lying on the floor. She was sleeping besides me. I woke her up. She puked. The hangover began.

I punched in a few random numbers - 14985701235
A lady picked up.
'Hello. Dial 5 to end the note'

'5'.
