What's Life?
What's is made up of?
Where are we heading?
I tried to read this book ' Satyarth Prakash ' when i was in 10th grade. I had it with me when i was in 8th. But then never read it at time because it had no pictures! I found this when mom was rearranging house and furnitures. Everytime when she did that i love it because i use to find my lost cricket balls under the bed! Old comics, sharpners, pensils, cheap digital watches, plstic toy cars, which race forwards if you push them backwards, diwali cards, crayons, sketch pens, dad's drawing compass, grandmother's tobacco box, combs, scales, my plastic gogles, water boat- the once which floats if you burn a candle inside it, glass tube with water and sparkles inside with an air bubble intact; if you make it upside down you watch the bubble going up with lots of sparkes, all this and lot more under that huge double bed we had.
So i found this book in the cupboards and i took it to my place.I loved the smell of it.Then there was an antique show in my school there i displayed it as my prized possession.
Its a book written by Swami Vivekanand and tells you a lot about life. I dont want to be pedantic but in a nutshell what i inferred was that life is made up of those small and very small moments that impacts you as an individual and decides your character.
I mean how many times it happenes that we get so much engrossed with the present consiousness and completely forget what beautiful rain drops life has endowed upon us.
I mean in Vidisha we used to cycle what like 3 hours daily in a group of 20 kids! I remember in that colony whenever i called for a bithday party atleast 50 kids used to come!
Conical caps, crap paper decoration, HAPPY BIRTHDAY witten on the wall, kids running all over the house, distributing chocolates in the class and my friends watching keenly what i am doing when i am giving it to girls was something i cant get back!
If i close my eyes and try hard to recall my kG friends i get the names of Aditya Namdev(the only one with a surname i remember), Rishab, shailendra and rony....
Ok i ll continue in the next post i gotta go!
