The only train which crosses this station is a cargo carrier which whistles pass at 5:30 in the evening. Apart from it, this platform is desolate. Few would want a posting here but then Mr. Koogan specifically requested the senior officers to post him here, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the administration. Koogan loved the peace which this platform brought. Set far away from the humdrum of the city he enjoyed every bit of it. He was always like this - a peace loving, boring soul.
There was nothing special about today. He waved the green flag as the train whistled passed him. The silence haunted the platform but Koogan lovingly referred to it as the "Sound of Silence" his favorite soundtrack from his favorite film, The Graduate. As he sat down on the chair, lighting a pipe, he was mesmerized by the beauty of the sky. Overjoyed, he spoke out loud,"Aah ! You beauty !" "Are you talking to me ?" Koogan literally jumped out of his skin. He never knew that sky could speak. Flabbergasted, he asked aloud, "Who and where the hell are you ?" 'Right behind your back" came the reply. Turning back, he saw a guy with a cloak and helmet like structure around his face. He had never seen someone as obnoxious as this guy. "Halloween came early. Eh ?" he asked the stranger. The flat voice replied, "I think you got me wrong. I am Darth Vadar." "Your parents didn't find a better name? Eh Sonny ? I am in no mood for a joke. What the hell do you want ?", the irritation was predominant in Koogan's voice. "I am Darth Vadar. And you don't know me ? Half of the world knows my dialogues, I am a continuous reference in most of the films, sitcoms. Probably I am the best thing which happened to literature. And still you don't know me ?" "Why do I need to know you?" Koogan asked exasperatedly. Darth Vadar sighed. "They were right. The story is untold to many." And with one deep, long breath Darth Vadar started the story of his journey. The story of Star Wars.
And this is what Netflix does the best. Brings the movie home.
