How would I know what is it like to walk on moon? How would i ever know what does it feel like to hold the extra-terrestrial grains of sand? How would i know what it feels like to stare into empty,deep,black space yet knowing the world out there is illuminated in ways we cant even comprehend.?
Yet, I attempt,however feebly, to describe the hop on moon, the touch of its surface and and the faint twinkle in the pitch dark space.
How would I know what does it feel like to be with a woman? How would i know of the ecstasy of waking up with someone smelling as fragrant as morning breeze and as soft as fur.How would I , oh my modest master , know of the joy of holding someone in my arms and watch time fly by, when all I want of it , is to halt.
Yet I challenge myself into scultping that moment of beauty, of fragrance , of love. Yet I cajole myself into scripting a moment of eternal joy.
How would I , of all the incapcitated minds, know what it is like to wear that shiny silver armour. How would I know of the inherent melody in the hoops of a horse,raising a cloud of dust behind. How would i know the beauty of valour and death in battle field.
Yet I battle to ink the thrill behind the war cries and the pride of a steadfast knight.
I would never know.
Notwithstanding these physical barriers, I ,my master, shall be your servile. I shall homour thee with my flights of imagination.
We may not have had that moment of awe, of beauty or of valour but regret not master for ye shalt command and i shalt create. Thou may not touch, smell or see but rest assured, Thou shalt feel....................I , thy feeble mind, promises -THY SHALT FEEL!

IN THE END
Well this entry is going to be high on philosphical content so you might as well move on. For those who still are intersted here's a quote to set the tone of this blog
"Light defeats darkness in the end."
Its taken from one of the Upnishad's( gems of spritual wisdom) and for the benifit of the less informed folks it's orignal sanskrit version was played in the background of the final showdown of the famous trilogy of Matrix! Anyway that's besides the point
We always have had this concept of "In the end...........Finally.......Eventually".
"In the end truth will triumph over falsehood/In the end joy will dwell in a place full of virtues/In the end the vices will make you a hallow man."
These phrases sound so familiar that we shoot them off without even pondering over them.
What is this "in the end" we are talking about?.....what is this end?.....is it a destination?.....
This idea of "eventually or in the end" was handed down to us by the most unnoticed yet suprisingly common literature -FAIRY TALES!......."In the end princess found her prince and they lived happily EVERAFTER!".........
Ok so what is my point?.....
MY point is this.......In the end darkness is not defeated by light........In the end truth does not triumph over falsehood.........In the end happiness is not bestowed upon the righteous.....because...........THERE IS NO "IN THE END~"!
First we had Ravan ,who's evilness was slayed by the pious Sri Ramchandra JI. Then Shri Ram left for his heavenly abode. Then came Kans who met the same fate and soon after his slayer Shri krishan ji departed. Then came men like jesus christ and mahatma gandhi who showed us the path of love, who were followed by evil men like Osama bin laden and George Bush Jr+Sr.
Do you see a pattern here??.......First there is evil,which causes righteousness to take birth........then righteousness causes evil to crop up.....and this cycle goes on.....AND THERE IS NO END.......it is an iteration which has been for eternity and will last for eternity.....
quoting from one of my own creations :
"joy of today is morrow's sorrow,
reasons of being from each other they borrow."
Most of us keep fighting our way through to achieve that "end" whereafter things become constant. We take the path of righteousness because we feel in the end we are going to be happy. In our endeavour to achieve the perfect end, in our fight to search for unchanging utopia
we blind oursselves to one the most beautiful atrribute's of life-CHANGE.
Our blinding zest for an eternal/lifetime of utopia takes away the beauty of life. The beauty that lies in joy as well as sorrow. The beauty that lies in enlightenment as well as ignorance. The BEAUTY OF IMPERFECTION. THE BEAUTY OF CHANGE.
(I know blog may seem wandering off wildly but just hold on for a while)
Beauty lies in the embrace of your loved one as well as the tears which roll down when that loved one leaves you. Beauty lies in the experience of power of knowlerdge as well as the ignorant gaze of a child to the stars. Beauty lies in evil wicked laugh as well as the innocent and pious smirk.
Every experience, every emotion, every animate and inanimate object has beauty in it.
Purpose of life, my friends, is not keep running in pursuit of a perfect end but to enjoy the journey.
Whos to confirm of the eternal bliss of heaven or the blaze of hell fire? Who's to say this lifetime is an oppurtunity to escape eternal condemnation.?
Only thing that can be and has been confirmed is that one should not live life in pursuit of an unchanging scenario. One should not be stead fast on a particular path in hope of an eternal utopia. Infact one should choose a path which enables one to relish the bitter pill of sorrow along with sweet taste of joy. One should take a path which leaves one in awe of power of knowledge and at the same time admire the beauty of ignorance.One should look forward to light yet not overlook the importance of darkness.
Everything ,under this sun, has a uniqueplace my friends. Everything is yearning to be admired.
This brings us back to the point where we started. There is no IN THE END/EVERAFTER.
We all are food for worms folks. Our legacy will not lie in what we achieved "IN THE END", it will lie in what we made out of the time we had between the begining and the end. We can either choose to waste the time at hand in a futile pursuit of perfect end and a life confirming to our whims thereafter or we can learn to appreciate the vagaries of life and NOT RESIST the change.
Choice is yours............Or is it????????????????????????????????(don ask y i wrote tht)
Ciao/.....ill go and make life proud by gulpin nother pizza!!
