God Must Be Crazy - 11

A missed beat, a feel of a rainbow, a child’s joy on seeing an elephant, a husband’s love to his wife after a separation, a dad’s pride over seeing his son’s victory, mom’s love to the child – but for Bala, its “whatever about Aaradhana!”

“Some info on that name board which you are looking for!”

It’s the first time when my heart and brain coordinated together. They both competed to help me at the sight of her school name board.

Brain, “It’s exactly the way it was stored in me. Same trees, same sit outs, same walls, same colors!”

I got down involuntarily and started walking towards the school. I was wondering the streets as these would have taken her footpaths some days earlier.

Brain responded immediately “Cycles!”

“Cycle’s footsteps!” I said.

“You love her cycle more it seems!:P”

Leaving aside brain’s pricking comments, “Really awesome creativity assured when we walk through that road. No doubt why she is such a multi-talented!” heart wondered.

First time in my life, I missed a thing. I was badly in need of a camera. I just wanted to show her, I have visited those places where you were happily wandering, chatting and had an ice cream or so! It will be nice if I show those photos or at least mail them to her when she badly misses her school days again! It was really a short dream relived.

The joy let me flying but just for few moments.

Heart,” That’s great! But I wish to meet her here!”

I started to feel alone in those streets.

“Mommm.. She is not here. I miss you ma. Should have been there! Nothing is going right for me”!

Mom called me right away. I wonder how people close to us got such a hold for us. Whenever we are in trouble, God sends them without interrogating. Crazy! I promised my mom to be there within 3 hours and hung up the call.

I started realizing my blunder of searching her all alone, and regretted much in my return bus journey. Though I missed the trip completely, I got a great new experience. But my mind was fully occupied with the thought of “Did I do the right thing? Is she the right person? Is she gonna be your girl? Will she be your friend at least?”

Heart replied, “You can define or answer, you can love or leave, you can decide or wonder, you can move with or let it go – It’s Life”. Much required words for one’s lifetime.

 

God is Crazyyy!!
