S Scientists - Chapter 7

Take off for Delhi! - Chapter 7


The S Team reached the airport by quarter past four and waited for a long time. It was 5 o' clock. Saketh spotted an old man with broad glasses with a mic next to him. He was sitting on a chair.


Saketh cleared his voice and started to talk, "Um, excuse me sir, are you the announcer?" "No, I'm the pilot. I knew you'd think I'm the announcer as I'm sitting on his place, but actually I'm not. I just came here to know the timings of my flight," The old pilot said.


 "Oh, okay. I didn't realize that. By the way, what is your flight timing?" Asked Saketh. "6 o' clock. mine's the Delhi flight," He replied. Saketh then asked, "Flight number 6, is it? I'm Saketh Balaji. Can you spot my name over there in the computer? And also, the web page had told me that the flight's by 4:30 am, may I know why?"


"It is flight number 6. Hmm, let me see if I could find your name, aha! Saketh Bala, is it? Yes, you are there. Wait, are you Saketh Bala or Balaji?" He asked. Saketh replied, "Saketh Balaji," "Saketh Balaji, yes. I found it! And why the web page told that your flight is by 4:30 is because we check if all the people are present by that time," The pilot replied. 


Saketh then nodded his head.


The S Team got bored of waiting. Finally, the people of Flight 6 were sent to the flight, and into their respective rooms.


The flight took off for Delhi. Saketh and his Team were relieved.


The following days were spent in the flight.

Behind The Mask

  Behind the clouds  Is the hidden sky, so far, Behind the plasters, A nasty scar, Behind the curtains,  Are bright windows  But behind a mask - It is not for show. Not until you tumble into the trap,  Stay trapped there, in disguised gloom  Without realising it - And then go deeper and deeper  To discover what really looms. Then realisation strikes - How they behaved, how they feigned The hidden meaning behind every wave  You've found it. And the rage, You try to stifle it with much courage, But instead, burn down the page, And whoops - that leads you to your cage. But in the end, the mask is gone - To reveal an atrocity, so from it begone Don't explain, on its own will it dawn - Upon others, just the way it did on you - Ignore their every scorn. Just wait for their mask to be openly torn.

Eclipsed

  Moon:  I shine every night  Though, once a month, I take a break  But I'm seen regularly,  And it's not a big deal.  Few stop by  To marvel at me.  But what about the others -  Can they even see? And tonight is the night  A shadow shall be cast upon me  I hope no one notices -  My brief moments without glory.  Oh, but who am I kidding?  Of course, when I'm humiliated  In the vast night sky  Just me, and an eery shadow upon me  That  That is when the humans  Choose to gaze at me.  And then, to say I am weak And I'm always overruled by  The sun, and shadows, and clouds?  That is not fair.  But the truth that the moon does not know  Is that our little downfalls  Are what define us.  They're the little things that make us  Better - Perfection isn't a thing; but realism is.  Someone who is perfect cannot be likeable - But someone with flaws has more pe...

They

You know what they say, "Practice makes Perfect"?  You know how they say, "Let the past  Be the past"? You know how you feel Knowing something you're doing  Is not right, You know they're watching you ponder, You do, right? They stay around you, you meet them, see them Everyday, They can give glowing smiles, or uncanny looks Depending on the aura around you - Wherever you are, they are there  They are there everywhere. You might think you're alone, somewhere D eserted But you never are They're still there - And they are also probably the ones Who know you, better than you know  Yourself. They say confusing strings, There are lots of songs they sing, They have seen lots of things, There's something, which, to myself I'll always Think, It will either remain unanswered,  Or will be forgotten,  But I shall not think it will be addressed But nonetheless -  They cannot control  Everything you do  Even if the things they have said  Echo co...
