We never see plants growing .. but they do evolve.. That’s what has been happening with me.. There is change happening. Metamorphosis. It’s maybe not my choice. Maybe it is. I don’t want to know. There is this fluidness about life. You know it is taking you somewhere. You don’t know where. And, you are excited and scared, both at the same time..I don’t know where I am headed to .. I just know that the journey has begun. Its really very scary. But I will live in the moment. I will live through the metamorphosis.
Past few days I was busy with the Navaratri . It happened at my place for the 1st time and will happen next after 35 years. It’s a dynasty thing. So involves a lot of families who share my surname and we will get a chance to bring the goddess again when our branch in the family tree gets a chance to do so.
The goddess looks beautiful.. It’s a silver mask. It’s the most expressive face I have ever seen. But the house was most times too crowded.. I like my prayer to happen in silence. Its between me and the God.. So I took time out from the crowd, sat on the staircase and stole a moment with her. While the crowd crowded the hall right in front of the goddess.
I received a long mail from varya.. I replied. A long mail again.

You know, the first paragraph reminded me of a beautiful dialog from The Shawshank Redemption.
Here it goesL
I find I am so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it is the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain... I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
Nice!

i like this line the best .. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.
Mr. Jacob Needleman wrote these lines and i happened to read them today ..'in front of the problem of time, we are like frantic puppets trying to manage the influences of the past, the threats and promises of the future and the tense demands of the ever-diminishing present moment. The mystery of time has the power to call us quietly back to ourselves and toward our essential freedom and humanness.'
just a way to thank you for sharing those lines with me ..
