That universal delight

One of the more indulgent feelngs in life is too easy to forget about. Small, simple things.

Remember the times when you were a child and stick your neck out of a car or bus on a cool day, right after the rains, or when cruising through the hills on a family vacation, (or on a village horse cart)? You're a grown up, but the impluse still remains, I know. But putting it as 'chil' gives it the credition of being something innocently honest and without and worldly leashes. The sudden shift to a different realm as the air hits you - as it caresses through your hair, leaving in a chaos at the tips of every single strand of those - is difficult to attach words with. You close your eyes in delight. A smile that would tear across your face as you fall deeper in the trance of the moment. No matter how harrowing the day/s have been, your face is radiant - a new, benevolent vibe that lingers on. The moment is a great equaliser of sorts - the children, men, women, cocker spaniels, pomeranians and many other species - all radiate a cheery youthfulness. May the moment never end. You are all with yourself, immersed in your zen. Maybe this is when epiphany strikes you. Its just around the corner...coming close &

Reader Beware! You choose the scare.

  • You are hit by an oncoming truck. Instant decapitation. You only feel a crunch of the neck bone. Go numb even before the pain hits you.
  • You are pulled back inside, and given a light scolding. It all goes unheard because you are yet to descend back to this world. That vibe, that radiant feeling fades away in inverse proportion to the square of the time passed by since. When it finally does, you are left with happiness, something warm inside. And then you spend your entire life in a sad state, knowing you were there once.
