After spending almost a week in a burrow, completely cut off from the world (no internet and no phones), I sit down in front of the laptop trying to get reconnected to the world. My first rendezvous with the world is displeasing to say the least. The Indian team well on road to exit T20 WC, a friend beaten black and blue by 6 men (full story here), another friend who keeps on quitting jobs and taking bike rides.
Displeasing for obvious reasons but still there is a silver lining to the cloud. Each of them stood for what they believed undeterred by the consequences. A attitude which has no place to fear. They stood fearless in the wake of defeat, in wake of physical danger and economic recession. I sit down and think as I have been doing for over 7 days now, what in the hell do they eat for breakfast??
Somewhere I know that this battle does not take outside but inside. Between the easy way of closing your eyes and the harder way of opening it to the wishes of your heart lies the thin line. Although, the former makes you normal but takes away a lots of dream from you. The later however, makes you anti-social but content from inside. It brings you at peace with yourself. Makes you feel human again. It gives you the right to be happy from within. It cuts out the unnecessary bullshits which the society has created overtime.
I take great pride in knowing such people. Not because I have gone to the same school or shared a room with them but for the fact that these people reminds me of that deep rooted tree which has withstood the winds and hurricanes of time.
Bravo to you guys. Someday, I wish someday I will join you in your madness for life.
