The Clown & Portia

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 29, 2009, 7:30 PM


The Clown & Portia


SCENE I


Evening. The sweet breeze is blowing from the South. A tea outlet with cemented benches all around it. Under the shade of a tree. They are sitting there. The Clown and Portia. Portia sipping tea from a cup she holds in her right palm. The Clown enjoying a Samosa (an Indian fast food). They are discussing something seriously. You can make it out from their body language. The Clown uses his hands vehemently as he speaks, as if words are not enough for whatever he is trying to say. You need more. Gestures.

The Clown

But how does it add up to anything?


Portia

No. It doesn't. And that exactly is the point. There's a way to everything. And sometimes we are just meant to be the way we should be than what we are. And that doesn't add up to anything. It's already a result. Pre-existing. It's a silent wish of all around a woman.


The Clown

And who are you after all of that is done with? Are you anyone at all?


Portia

Mostly, we are a choice between independence and love.


The Clown

What can a clown do to change that?


Portia

Let's go. It's late.


The Clown

Okay

Defining Myself in 8 Points -

1. I Am Me

I know it is an all time favorite dumb-guy-trying-to-act-like-he's-really-really-smart statement. But I'm using it otherwise (as I'm too dumb to try even that). Odd. I'm using the statement in my own defense. Some of my friends who've known me too closely claim that I'm not myself. And I really don't know what they mean. But if I'm none of the 'You's who might be able to read this given a chance and an occasion and a reading glass too, then I'm left with with no one else to be but myself. Therefore, I am me.

2. I've Never Lighted A Matchstick in My Life

Possible Interpretations -

:bulletblue:[if you are a chain smoker] I'd remind you of a lighter.
:bulletblue:[if you're Mahatma Gandhi] I'm a 'torchbearer' of non-violence
:bulletblue:[if you're Florence Nightingale] I'm really not bringing in the 'light' of knowledge.
:bulletblue:[if you're a reader of folk tales] I'd remind you of a girl who sold matchsticks on a cold, snowy night to make a living and met her grandma in a dream that went on forever.
:bulletblue:[if you're nobody] I'm a coward.

3. I Don't Remember What This Point Would Have Been Originally

Yes, I do suffer from Amnesia. Did you say you don't know what that is - welcome mate, you're suffering from the same disease. Dig Wikipedia, I'm not your pocket encyclopedia. What I am, is a poor amnesiac fellow waiting for a day when he'd eventually forget his amnesia too, like everything else. And thus, be cured of it.

4. I Am A Compulsive Liar

Trust me.

5. I Am Repetitive

... To the point of being unbearable. I might just reproduce a story I told you yesterday, word by word, when I meet you today. And they'd be so very same that you'd actually believe that they are different.

6. I Am Repetitive

... To the point of being unbearable. I might just reproduce a story I told you yesterday, word by word, when I meet you today. And they'd be so very different that you'd actually believe that they are same.

7. I Am Not Me

No, really. I needed to own up.

8. I Only Know Seven-and-a-quarter-of-a-two-third Things About Myself.

Yeah, I know. It's so clever of you to notice that.
