An old wise man once taught me - if you can link one thing to another, you would know more than the others.
And link I do.
There is undeniable order in the chaos around. At every level and every sphere.
For a long time, I laughed at people who said destiny can't be ignored. I can't ignore the data that is before me. Times are bad. People close to me have lost jobs. I haven't. It would take one meeting in Paris to decide whether or not the Indian subsidiary should continue. That's all. And yet here I am at the end of the month knowing very well that salary is on its way. I could be in anther's pinching shoes but I am not.
I work very hard, so does the lady who cleans my home and does my laundry. And yet, I am employing her services.
When I take stock, I am humbled and overwhelmed by God's kindness. I have done nothing to deserve this good life. At least not yet. Not returned an ounce of goodness back to those who need it the most.
I visualise God as this source of white light (very filmy I know) flashing in my eyes - saying - so kid - hows it going?
This chain of thought started while I was watching the 81st Academy awards on television. A gentleman on receiving the award says - there are four places in the world that I thought I would never get to be at - the moon, the miss world pageant stage, (i forget the third one) and this place as the winner of an academy award. This is unbelievable.
And I thought yeah man - look at Barack Obama - Who would've ever thought. Or AR Rahman.
I realise that I can no longer not believe in the power of imagination, dreams and positive thinking.
I have always been better thinking in pictures rather than words. For a very long time, been thinking what can be the visual symbol of the universe - and for almost twelve years - I keep coming back to a mysterious spherical dot hanging into nothingness.

Dreams and Surreal connections...i do feel the same intensity in solitude..about the mystic favours bestowed..some taken for granted and no pause for thanking the higher power responsible for it...
