How to start ? Where to start ? These questions are relatively more important before deciding what to start....and how much to go on isn't it...?
I am sure those tress passers who went thru' one of recent posting on my joy on booking a new FIGO might have felt I dont belong to "them".....!! For such people this posting could too be bit un-inspiring....and bit of yawning experience....For others who have learnt to be empathetic with some "silly" people like me, please stay tuned...!!
At last the D Day arrived....I got my cute FIGO delivered yesterday and needless to say I bunked my night shift office....!! (How can I be so duty conscious on such an important festive day thought it is my employer who is essentially responsible for making me deserve the FIGO... No logical questions please...I am on rampage now......). It must have been really a specially auspicious day because my father was literally beaming over phone on WHAT a day it was....(yeah, it was more a information that reached him...as the day was consulted with my FIL...some times you slip protocols when proximity takes more weight age....right ??). I dutifully informed all those first circle first ones over phone before taking the delivery of the car....AND gave sms to at least 1 dozen of my friends and other relatives who will be really happy....on the way to the show room.
Forgot to tell, I had taken along with me a trustworthy person (a cousin) to don the Driver's role for the next 24 hours who did not fail in my assessment...Rather, he made the day's bliss inch up a notch more....!! We both (of course along with my constant bugs at home - 4 of us !!) left home by around 5.30 PM yesterday in an auto rikshah...and when I write this now after 1 full day (exactly 26 hours), think I had made best out of all my little little dreams.....!!
Really do not want to make this posting as a chronicle of what ever happened (just that I visited most of the people whom we wanted to show the car at their residence itself...as we had an ever faithful and most obliging driver cousin) ...as this day will be etched in my memory until my last breath....(who knows, perhaps I might be given birth to an affluent family in next generation getting access to an automobile from my infancy....!!) BUT just want to say this much....
Like most of you, I did have lot of little little ripples of thoughts on "I want to do this.....when......this happens....!! At the time such ripple of thoughts were formed, you decide on your dreams without really getting serious....but nevertheless, they do have some value when .... when we are able to make them. Starting from the wide grins of the old and frail father, mother...(lucky to visit a father's brother too....I dont know why a lump develops in my throat when I see such people happy....These people's happiness is essentially some thing that could not be a possibility for them when they were like me.....!! Its wonderful for us to make them child like for a while....I mean a happy child....!!), the temple visits and little services of leaving the niece living in Tambaram to her class at Nungambakkam right at the door step ....and able to buy the fruits on the way to Tambaram and carelessly spray it across the back seat as there was too much space available....., able to climb up the bridge in Usman Road and the very long bridge at Meenambakkam in your own automobile, hearing the chosen music with crystal clarity.... the list is woefully inadequate believe me.....!!
Well, realised people talk about life time missions and they announce that they have come only to accomplish them (did you notice this pairing of terminology....?? Goals are normally ACHIEVED while missions are ACCOMPLISHED....)...My own Guru talks about some thing that I am not able to understand fully though it is so enticing.....!! I live in the plank of normal man with full of inconsistencies, incapabilities....and some times incompetency too....!! Its really good inspite of being contradicting at times (thank God, I have not reached a height to become "controversial" in life !!), some how I was able to achieve these petty silly wishes that I have been dreaming quite some time. Well, its not even a dream or a longing.....I should use the word again...there had been just ripple of thoughts ... not carried for long....but still they matter a lot....and particularly matter more when they are achieved....!!
May I know the science of taking up some tangible and sensible goals...and achieving them systematically.....!! Perhaps, I will not mind even if I dont realize the Truth in this birth....its ok for me to have my life fulfilled if only I learn to handle ME and my thought processes. It needs to go very far from what I am being right now.....!!
For those who had patience to go thru' this extempore posting, I crave and pray that what ever your trivial wishes are...how ever impossible for you it is now under current circumstances....and why ever you wish to achieve them.....LET THEM be achieved in due course of time. Folks, lets orient towards our minute goals first yaar.....move to missions bit later.....what do you say ?? So much of life is left, huh ??
With Love
Suren
