CRYPTOGRAMMAR

This is a cryptogram and so I start
That day
As my world was going away
I didn’t ask Binya to stay
Why didn’t I say?
And whilst now both of us may pray
To go back to that day
To actually do that, this is but an only way
In our own flashback right now
Did this occur, or that and how?

MAX:
Look, Binya! It’s going to rain


(FILL IN WITH ANY RANDOM WORDS YOU WANT TO PICK)

WHAT DID YOU THINK BINYA SAID?

BINYA:
Option (a) It will wash away all our pain
or (b) So you and I will start again
or (c) You and I’d go our own ways as it’s all in vain
or (d) World will look at us with disdain

BINYA (thinks)
(I got so hurt)

MAX (thinks too)
(Did you burn all my stuff?)


WHAT IS MAX DOING IN THIS STORY?

MAX is sitting with BINYA on a roof top inn, in Kashmir’s famous wood cabin, drinking hot cardamom cappuccino, that, immigrants pour & it is about to snow; in itsy bitsy consonant clay cups-


WHAT AM I DOING?

It is Sunday night and I am in my room with its blinds drawn
Had flown all this way to try writing my third book
This too was about Max and Binya and try I did till dawn
No inspiration so I put off my laptop to go out and look


It was that instant, that I ran into Binya again
You and Max got talking about our days at St. Johns
In that long lost past
So many days ago. So many things unsaid.
Things that didn’t last
I say this looks as a doughnutYou say - "Oh, I thinkIt looks similar to our world"Sinful, dark and so hollow
You still talk with so much symbolism
Binya said, ‘My husband is coming back from Norwich tomorrow’
And nothing; following that. Was that a sign I didn’t know?
So nothing to do but wallow in my pain, ASSONANT my sorrow
Look, it’s starting to snow
Hurry up or you’ll catch cold


MAX:
You look now as that Binya whom I got to know. (Thinks) (Or I thought I did)

BINYA:
I’m not that smart and I know that. Just gigantic boobs and that’s about it. I also know that you, as any romantic, think that I boast of this background story that adds to my profundity. But, in fact, I’m just shallow and urban

MAX
Why didn’t I? Just think if you and I…..

BINYA:
What is that story you try writing?


This is a cryptogram and I start and now that I command your rapt captivation this is just a kind of an illustration with which I will try to show how words can actually do many things of which you did not know and possibly did not think of trying although writing this way is akin to dying as if I had my hands bound substituting usual words with words not simply found and whilst a random word is probably not that important to you but for writing it is probably that only comfort to go back to as avoiding particular words could turn into a bad habit though that proxy word could also turn out grammatically fit and also various long words such as Floccinaucinihilipilification could form without it and Ringo Starr did not own it nor did Aishwarya Rai and Brad Pitt



WHAT IS AL UP TO?

Although, aloof Al, also aloud, almost always, allows all, alright Almonds (All- it)
But who is this Al anyway?


WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?

Habitually solving Sunday Crossword- down and across
Failing at cryptic hints, you try quick hints but still at a loss
And I could go on and on but post a point, any point
Would start to irk and so I put a stop to all such rhythms
And such idiosyncratic wordplays and criticisms


WHAT IS THIS PLAY ON?

It is a play on words.
It is playing at my Auditorium
Along with good music
And Football- Hull City against Aston Villa
All work and no play?


WHY DID YOU SAY ‘NO’ THAT DAY?

I am not fighting you.
Am in no mood to fight
What you say is right
In that infinitum word map
‘Pat’ is similar to ‘Tap’
This is a kind of an anagram
I also know of ‘Antigrams’
Various words also look similar
From both ways looking familiar
‘Dad’, ‘Anna’, ‘Otto’, ‘Kayak’ and so on
Backwards thinking, dusk for dawn
I may also talk about Acronym
That stands for short form or contraction of a word
Dad is from Daddy. Mom is from Mommy
Apt is a sound acronym, just right, grammatically
Though I am not saying what it stands for
For I would spoil it all by doing so
Acronym is a main basis of Acrostic Writing


WHAT IS ACROSTIC WRITING?

Acrostic writing
Subliminal writing
Hypnotizing writing that brought aspirations to light
And in my boyhood, it was raining all night


WHAT IS ITS POINT?

That shows us that unusual ability of words
But this story at start was romantic
This story is part of that story
This thing is going awry and astray
No?
I didn’t think of you that way
I was, you know, in a lot of pain for I truly thought you and I... didn’t you?
Why?
And I always thought about you
Ok
Kya kaha?
Was it you?
But I know
But how do you know?
I don’t know
No?
I know
I know you know
I know you know I know
I know you know I know you know
I know you know I know you know I know
I know you know I know you know I know you know
I know you know I know you know I know you know I know
I know you know I know you know I know you know I know you know
That as an absurd living iconoclast of today
And having said all that I had to say
I finish.
But I say this again.
All of this was a cryptogram.
Saying that, MAX and BINYA walk out of that inn, hand in hand, and I follow. I am finally in ________
