New Sense

Its hard to stay away from an event that changes a billion lives in a moment. Its hard to be cheerful and to convince yourself that the worst is probably over as you watch an icon on fire. Its had to see images of innocent victims, brave people, shattered dreams… and not be engulfed in an aura of suffocation.

And the moment arrives where you question the basis of what is right and wrong, What drives people and what would have happened to you if you were in their place…

I don’t have answers to those questions, nor will I pretend that I can logically analyze what has happened over the last couple of days. What I do know for sure is that, this will change everything… Paranoia and panic is already evident but its not even the tip of the iceberg.

My mind hurts as I look into the future, but the one fact we all will realize very soon is ‘Life will go on’, over the ashes of those that laid down their lives for the protection of this country humanity. We may not be the same people we were before this happened… maybe we will change for the worse or for the better.

This story has a very important significance in my recent past. A significance that humbles me and gives me closure.

Ps: Mythological facts in the story were told to me at some point. I tried finding textual proof of it but after reading a lot of chapters from Shrimad Bhagwatha I gave up. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

As we entered Shringeri we had to make an unscheduled stop at the outskirts of the city. During the stop people stepped out to stretch their legs and I spotted this kitten trying to climb a coconut tree across the road.

I spend the next few mins taking pictures of the cat, who suddenly realized that he was a bit of a celebrity The cat climbed a part of the tree and started sliding down… he seemed a little confused at everything happening around him.

This is one of those unexpected events that just make your day

And then he looked at himself in the mirror and said “When you get used to losing and still winning, nothing can hurt you as much as losing and still losing”
The man on the other side replied “Thats what you get for teaming up with someone who can lose and still take all the winnings…”
