A lot has been happening lately.
Death of my father's attendant, who took a job elsewhere. His end came suddenly, one minute he was talking, the next he was gone.
I went when I heard it.
The present employers were probably sad, but more concerned about looking for a replacement. He was lying there, wrapped in a cloth and negotiations were going on!
That's life. You are needed as long as, you serve.
Works at all levels.
And I was going through accupuncture, to treat my Meniscus tear and arthritis. The lady is patronized by celebrities. And the chamber is teeming with people who had needles stuck at all odd angles.
And I am petrified of needles and alternative remedies. So 3 days of looking like a hedgehog, I give up!
- Have you done your Moksha? Someone asked.
Amid the bed of needles I wondered if I have become a soul already?
Well Moksha here is somekind of scalding with what looked like a fat burning agarbatti. And boy! It hurt.
And again I think of the pyre, and final sound of the door closing.
Indeed life is short, a bed of needles and then Moksha....
And I still don't learn my lessons!
Heidi lived in Alps with her Alms uncle - I read this story in a book that was called The Big Big Story Book and it had a compilation of amazing stories that were my first foray into the world of English story books. Recently on a long flight I watched the movie much to delight of the young steward who was our attendant that night. My first glimpse of the Alps was from our flight ...the dawn breaking to spread the orange hues over the snowy terrain...looked mesmerizing even to someone who is not too fond of the mountains. Switzerland was beautiful, with its manicured terrain and flowers like pretty maids all in a row, picture perfect setting and breathtaking, like a touch me not porcelain beauty. Coming from my "elo melo" city I wondered how people managed to keep a country so organized , I have trouble keeping my room in ship shape...... No, I would not like to live there ......it's too distant and too cold ,but what I will carry in my heart is the awesome time .......
