Thoughts...

Its been a while since I last wrote … actually “while” is an understatement its been a very long time…… the last was way back in the year when Pres. Obama won his first terms & A. R. Rahman won his Oscar……now Pres. Obama is already in his second term and Life of Pi is in the race for Oscars……lot has changes in these couple of years for good or for bad, as they say that’s the way life is ….. I hear you say we know this, what’s new or what's the point? ….hmm….that’s right most of us know what’s going around, so all that is "unknown" are the things that you hold in your head… mostly "thoughts" and stuff you have done and don’t want to share with anyone for whatever reasons……..

Thoughts….especially the good ones are visitors playing hide and seek at the most strangest time.... appearing when you are in the middle of something, maybe in the shower or rushing to work or in a meeting etc. and disappearing  exactly when you gets time to pen them down… its like they come to the party but don’t want to get photographed … They come as galloping horses (most of the time) across varied landscapes of lush green grasslands, mountain space, barren land or as waterfall dropping off a cliff, rushing waves lashing on the rocks, a gentle stream and very rarely a still lake……These visits drift the human body to a robotic state or into a motionless position... making it look like two different people occupying or co-existing in the same space and time......But, this existing lasts for a very small fraction of time… as science would put it, two form cannot co-exist under normal conditions for a long period of time... Wonder if this second person takes over as we pass out of the human form and transform to another form or space and is this second person we call as “soul”. If yes, then the current form somehow looks nothing but a phase in the metamorphosis of the larger “self” where, the body is not just a vehicle transporting the “self” between stages but also a cocoon molding or transforming it. Is it why we say the “soul” is within us - the human form? 

While most of our thoughts do not want to get photographed but there are some that want to get imprinted for reasons unclear and unexplained declaring themselves to the current and future generations and being a catalyst in the transformation of some of the “self's” or “soul's” by affecting either the vehicle or the space it exists or directly the second person….either way they continue to play an interesting part in this unsolved puzzle called “life”
