Soul Dead

By Deepak Nair

It was a great party yesterday. Our team had a great time and enjoyed a lot. We danced to the most expensive DJ in the town, we ate all the food that we could or could not pronounce. We heard great things about us being spoken at length. But, after all these I saw a tree, a tree which was standing in our parking lot. It was the same tree i saw the day I walked into the office. It was being force fed water then, I was told this tree is a living symbol of who we are. And all those memories came back to me. Yes, it is representative of who we are. Because, the roots of the tree were not strong. There were barely any leaves. But, it was still used for keeping the lighting set for the party. Found it quite relatable to who I am and what we represent. Soul Dead.
