Disabled Verve!

It is about a man, who is at the verge of facing many interesting lessons and some bizarre consequences. One night, he was walking across a street in the heavy fog, under those dim and long street lights, with an English hat on his head, long coat of his fit, smoking a cigarette, a sharp frown on his face and his eyes blinking every one second. It's clear that this man was 'thinking'. He did not know where he was going and what was the purpose of his late night walk. I happened to cross him and asked him, "what are you doing here at this odd time?", he said, "I am going to see the morning", and went on walking. He never looked back. The real question is, what was I doing there at that odd time? The only thought in my mind for this night was, "Lets call this man Verve."

And you know , i met that guy... his passion to look for the very early morning where the sun, the moon, the stars, the trees, the whole world wants to welcome him.
Then you thought that guy disappeared in the midnight. But,
Then after a while wishpering sound came saying that "Good Morning" with gentle smile.
With that smile, again he questioned himself is it real or am i in a dream world ??. He looked for someone around to confirm this. But, no one could be reached with his eyes.. becoz everyone was busy in searching for happyness in the dark. what he saw is real bcoz the journey of last night was totally in the dark... and was still in the mood that darkness is always going to take over the mornings of life. That realization and freshness of thoughts has given him a hope of new life which is not going to be passed by any one other than him.
That guy started thinking again what has been happened since last night and he just found that this is all happening because of meeting you.
you might be thinking what you did to him. You wanna know that, you just spoke to him. What!!, this is the first question you might be getting. Yes that is true, when he was going in the darkness he always that that he was travelling alone in the darkness and still searching for morning. But as you just asked him "What were you doing here at this odd time?"... to be continued...

Thanks a lot Priya. I was trying to begin a novel some time ago and I wrote about 3 long pages of it and then could not continue. Blame it my indiscipline or my true busy life here. I will restart it with your words as my ink.
