THE FIRST TIME The first time when I swam in fathomless waters of the Atlantic; my legs felt dreary with feverish exhilaration; my heart palpitated 100 beats faster, There was an incredulous feeling of confronting the storm; floating abreast the opalescent fish; caressing the drifting corals as I plunged down. The first time when I ate freezing icecream; infinite buds of taste stood up on my tongue in bewildered alacrity, I greedily gulped the blend of protuberant cherry and cream inadvertently smearing some of it on my nose; to satiate my thirst in the scorching winds of summer. The first time when I witnessed an accident; the lifeless form of an innocuous pedestrian lying in a river of crimson blood, Uncanny shivers ran down my spine at swashbuckling speeds; a dark blur obliterated my eyes; and I swooned in a disheveled heap on the ground. The first time when I saw a crackling fire; heaps of logs being incinerated by a tiny matchstick, I felt besieged by waves of curiosity; unwittingly poking my fingers in the sapphire blue flames; although I quickly withdrew them before my flesh got charred to soot. The first time when I smoked a cigarette; I felt something vindictively burning in my throat, There were incessant bouts of coughing; succeeded by clouds of grey air wafting from my mouth. The first time when I drove my car; I felt tumultuous power encompassing me; as I could increase the speed at a mere kiss to the accelerator, However when I did so; the automobile sky rocketed towards the sky; eventually crashing into the bakery full of rotten eggs and cakes. The first time when I sat in the aircraft; I felt overwhelmed by the ostentatious interiors; the trays of plum juice being served in kingly fashion, I thought of opening the translucent glass window as I usually did as I got up from sleep; this time though I was rebuked by the airhostess from doing so; as it could mean a difference between life and death. The first time when I drank peach flavored wine; there was a massive cyclone that engulfed my mind, I seemed to have lost refined degrees of sophistication; barked a volley of malicious expletives looking my employer straight in his eyes.
The first time when I heard the tiger growl in the jungle; the sonorous screeching of the owl; I felt clusters of hair stand like needles on my skin, Also I didn’t need to find a plush lavatory; as I had performed the call of nature in my pants. The first time I attended a bombastic party; with a conglomerate of sparkling lights falling in dispersed beams; I felt awkward reverberations entrench me from all sides, And my situation exacerbated; when my parents introduced me to the ensemble of dignitaries; who sipped beer as casually as they had mineral water from their glass. The first time I held a gun in my hands; they unrelentingly shivered with cold sweat dribbling down my forehead, I knew I had to kill my adversary to save my own life; but in the end succumbed to the tyranny of fate; as I couldn’t muster the tenacity to fire. The first time when I heard my name; the voice of my mother stringently addressing me in her domineering, I felt as impregnable as god in the sky; as I had now been bestowed supreme recognition to my otherwise neglected entity. And the first time when I saw her; sighting her silken hair blowing with the wind; I instantly fell in the dungeon of love, Wanting to be incarcerated with her celestial form; away from the nuances of the world for ever and ever and ever .
