The other day we, Laila, Ashraf and the scribe went for an
evening walk along the picturesque by-pass road sprinkled with tea estates and
trees practicing their own diet schedules. We told Ashraf, a non Malayalee
student from Bangalore, jokingly, so as to lift the kid`s spirit up:
“We have kidnapped you! Nobody, not even your family knows where you are now….”
“But I know where I am!”
He replied with his angelic smile.
How many of us can confidently say ‘We know where we are”
As I continued walking with my colleague and student I
brooded on the sentence.
How many of us are aware of the possibilities life has
strewn all around?!
How many of us stop
and stoop to pick a book from the dusty table, touch the soft petal of a dew
kissed flower, marvel at the colored clouds of the evening sky?
And how many of us are happy and feel blessed to be alive on
this blue pearl of a planet spinning majestically in the universe?
There are a lot of questions and it is sad there are less
answers.
