Cigarette

Aaaahhh the feeling… I just had a smoke alone, its one of the most wonderful feelings in the world. To stand there with no worry in the world or all the worry in the world, those few minutes you feel you can take on anything, its happened a thousand times before, and yet it keeps happening again, alas that a cigarette does not last long enough or the world would be ruled by smokers (may be it still is…).

I have some of my most fond memories with a stick lighted in my hand, be it while on top of a mountain after trekking for days or by the river after a dip.

There is no occasion for a smoke or rather all the occasions are for a smoke… just about to propose to someone… have a smoke, just proposed… have a smoke, proposal accepted… have a smoke (could well be one of you last), rejected!! What the heck? Go have a smoke.

People (Non Smokers or NS) have asked me how it feels? How does it feel to be in love, to see the sun set in the sea, to experience a morning in the forest… no, it can not be explained, it has to be experienced, there are a few experiences in the world to match it… and none of them are so easily achieved.

A cigarette after a full meal, it’s the “cigarette” that completes the meal.

A cigarette in the rain is one of the most beautiful experiences.

A cigarette while driving on my bike or in my car… no distance is unconquerable.

A cigarette with my friends has given me that extra bond with them, smokers gel more easily with one another… its like the brotherhood of fag (all of us have been prosecuted at some point in time)… we all know one another… there is this bond we share… religion no bar, color no bar, region no bar… if cigarette is made a national pass-time most of our wars and fights would be solved.

There is a reason why smokers can so easily fall in love… because they have already experienced it… the way love fills your heart… cigarette goes a step further it fills your heart, lungs and your entire chest, to inhale the smoke keep it for that tad second in your mouth before it rushes into your chest, it fills you… goes to every part of your body, its exactly like breathing, except that its much better… then exhale the smoke in rings or in clouds, it’s a special feeling knowing that you have lost a part of your life with that… its like blowing a small time of your life in smoke… to realize that and still do it is a very enriching experience. I can keep going about this forever.

For all the people who try to ban smoking, there is a simple solution ask them to smoke for 5 days and if the still feel its not worth it then let them go ahead and ban it… its never going to happen… they don’t know what they are missing… exactly like veggies, they have never tasted flesh…. But then it’s an altogether a different story
