The voyage of realization
Posted : Wednesday, February 17, 2010 By : bhanu pandey

Filled up with all the exhaustion, there he laid under the big blue umbrella thinking about what all could have left in this life. His smoked up lips described the story of his teenage and not teary dried but wet eyes, the story of his childhood. Million of thoughts trespassed his lonely vain hopes and desires and they kept on molesting him...The thoughts of sadness, embarrassment, and if there is any charm left in him?

His beard already had gone grey. He didn't even know when he grew so old? As he touched the sockets of his eyes, there were signs of big craters like the ones formed in mines after being blown by dynamites. He felt like moving out and again got lost in the noise and dust of city. He saw a young couple with a boy. Boy's eyes were green and bright as sunshine. His smile was like a rainbow stretched across the mountains after downpour. His face had the soul of white pigeon hovering above all of us mocking at our worries. That sweetest gift of love stood on his toes there glancing at world and dancing on some unknown number which nobody could listen to. Dangling his foot in air, he ran towards the moving car. Not knowing what it could cause but it was just big, red and beautiful to him.

The man hardly had any thoughts as he flung in air, a desperate and suicidal attempt to save that angelic little creature. For a minute even the air stopped blowing. There was light flashing into his eyes as he opened them. There were people around him like flocks of birds during migration. A thought came into his mind of being dead and present in some other dimension. Moments passed he felt something over his chest and he again saw those green bright eyes that he fell in love with. The mother’s were teary like the melting iceberg. She hugged her child so tightly as if she would never separate him. Suddenly the old looking man felt so alive in his own body. Was it the touch of that little boy’s soul or the sense of being alive he wasn’t sure. It felt as if his existence now has a meaning.

There was adrenaline pumping in his body like it never did. He could feel every single inhalation and exhalation. Where was this feeling before he thought? He didn’t have any answers. He just ran toward the boy, picked him up and gave a peck on his shiny red cheeks. Life has suddenly now seemed full of life.

We have infinite moments in life but only few moments of realization. Realization of what we are and what life is. We all try to find meaning in our lives not realizing that it’s not within us but around us.
