Wish Fulfillment
Everyday we receive images like this, sms -es, e-mails all promising wish fulfillment of sorts , all promising you of miracles within a specified period if you fulfill the conditions.
Each time I receive something like this I promise myself I won't succumb and then I fall into the rut all over again. I close my eyes and mutter a silent prayer that Chibu passes his exams (sigh), that Baba remains healthy(touch wood), that the day goes off without a hitch at work ( hmmm) .....and so many !
I remember Buladidi telling me that if you wish on the moon on a full moon night it comes true...and I looked at the moon and out came the wishes....maybe even the moon went moony over them and none came true!!!
Buladidi reprimanded , "I said 1!" and I said "1? Ek se mera kya hoga?"
Well , I know I will again forward 12 sms -es tomorrow and wish on the red mail van and look out for a black car ( black ambassadors are prehistoric now) to blow the wish upon . I know I will be silly , illogical and childish. But
at times these silly , mindless moments bring back the lost hope and fills your heart with sudden expectations on days when nothing seems to be going right. At times these acts bring that dash of silliness in our logical staid world !
-Who wants to use the head all the time?
-Certainly not I !!!!!

A long overdue blog about the path that I was seeking , or did the path seek me out ? Over the years the sheen of belief was wearing off and I was beginning to question the master about the magic - about faith becoming commercial, about what Bhaskar stated, "This is all about money". Packing my bags off and going solo isn't very uncommon in my life, but this time I was not on work per se. Checking-in into the Ashram, was on my bucket-list for ever-since, and it was an amazing experience. Despite the crowd, the ambiance just reverberated with a mix of reverence, energy , faith, hope, prayer - and questions too ! Like I mentioned before meditation was not about spiritual pyrotechnics, but a metaphor connected to life. Like the corner I chose had a vantage view of the stage and despite a stench that started emanating from the corner, I just could not leave that place, for the view that corner offered got me stuck there. Life is like that, we are often stuck in the rut , ...
"Chibu passes his exams" :D :D don't waste wishes!
