Just a normal guy. Or so i thought...
until that fateful day...
The entire world seemed to change in the flash of an eyelid. And when I opened my eyes, there I was... standing in a sun kissed field with dew drops hanging on to the tips of the leaves. The surrounding touched all the five senses deep within. Something within me wanted to break out into a run in the field. And i did precisely that!
But then when I looked back after having covered a couple of hundred metres, I was surprised to see someone standing right where I had started off from. And lo and behold! That someone looked an exact replica of me. A battering of an eyelid later, I could see someone way ahead, turning to look at me. And there I was... lost in myself and in the world... nowhere to go and no place to hide. I was all alone there, with a shadow of myself for company.
Waking up from my sleep, I suddenly felt as though the rays falling on my face were so pure, the crisp breeze coming in through the window smelt so different! That indeed was a moment of self realisation. And life's never been the same again. Here I am... in pursuit of that elusive me, wandering and loitering around to reach myself. And time and time again, when I think I've reached myself, when I turn around, I can still see myself far far away...
I know that there never will be a moment when the 2 me's will meet up. Because that's what life is. Amidst all the searching and the wandering, life goes on... spurring you on to newer heights. But where people forget their roots, I take a break and think about the times gone by... and thank thee Lord.
It's been a long journey on the road called life. But I still don't know where I am... I don't know where I'm headed to... I don't know when I'll reach my destination...
But the journey sure has been exhilerating. And its had its own ups and downs.
Can't write no more as I'm still trying to find out what it is that makes me run my fingers over a keyboard. Let me know if you have any idea what it is!
