"It was tranquil! Only the howling wind | |
echoing off the gigantic mountains. | |
The world seemed so distant | |
and I was on top of it." | |
"It traveled the dense greenery, | |
crossed the violent seas, | |
hurdled over the mountains, | |
glided down the glaciers." | |
"O' dear, why give me back? | |
Keep it in the deepest pocket of your bag, | |
or among the last pages of your scrapbook. | |
But why give me back?" | |
"The dusks whispered to me that- | |
death is darker than the moonless sky, | |
and colder than the winter nights. | |
The days taught me that- | |
birth is brighter than the infant sun, | |
and warmer than his lustrous rays. | |
I died countless times, | |
resurrected and started again. | |
But the life between them remained untaught." | |
"The summer vacation was- | |
coming to a halt then. | |
I was left alone in my house, | |
away from my friends, the study etc. | |
There was a thing on the terrace- | |
that drew my attention." | |
"That stone once could've been a- | |
piece of a giant star. | |
It might be a microscopic fraction of- | |
that red giant I simply hold in my hand. | |
Millions and millions of years ago | |
it played a part of a star, | |
but now resting on my palm-cold." | |
"That silly piece of stone can tell me a story. | |
A story without a definite beginning nor an end. | |
A story that spreads over millions of years. | |
It can tell me the whole story of the human race, | |
the story about our earth the beginning of life, | |
the story about our sun, | |
the formation of entire solar system. | |
A tremendously great story that lies- | |
beyond the boundary of our imagination." | |
"From this day onwards, for a year | |
I should constrict my eyes to the things | |
that can help me in the study, | |
not that things I've to learn from." | |
"I went through my thick text books, | |
moth eaten pages of History, | |
still expanding volume of Science, | |
the secrets of life that always wondered me | |
and the mystifying text book of nature- | |
written by the god himself." | |
"The sun is now above my head | |
Up in the zenith, firing his fire bullets. | |
Dazzling light of the sun | |
Made me blind - literally. | |
But my eyes were tired so | |
I gave them a rest for a while." | |
"Birds were flying away…… | |
Yellow dead leaves were falling | |
down in the western wind. | |
The machine bird went on cutting | |
the silence of the night by its groaning …. | |
After all ….it was silence….. | |
Dead silence….. | |
Nature is in sleep….world is in sleep | |
It's time to sleep, I’m in sleep……….." | |
"I don’t know what will I choose | |
Computer game or the sky. | |
Really I was in sleep till now - | |
In deep sleep……. | |
It’s time to wake up to | |
A new world - my own world." | |
"It made change | |
in my personality. | |
It was the spirit who | |
made my life easy." | |
"It took very much time to | |
realize that the spirit was myself | |
It was within me, | |
was a part of me. | |
It was me who defeated | |
myself!!!" | |
