It was a long day. The sun took little
bit to set in the west. What an amazing site, especially when it is
viewed from somewhere near the seashore. Nature has set all her
beauty in smallest things like this. Sunset, a single silly dew drop
on a green grass, greenish mountain tops, tall growing pines. I have
seen such sites in sivannah hills. People do call it as God's
Dwelling Place. Now this site is somewhere in a place called God's
Own Country. I always run to sleep in her lap. Mother Nature's lap.
Visiting this place is always nostalgic.
But unusually now this time everything
looked so new to me. As new as a new born child's face. The place
looked new. The people looked new. I wish everyday should rise as new
as this. Still it is an expectation with an image of today. Suddenly
something itchy in the mind. The friend who took me for this trip,
started talking about my physical difficulties.
Friend: So, you are not going to take
up the treatment.
Me: Won't you understand my friend.
These treatments are for those feel this as an ailment. But I never
felt the same way. I never felt it is an ailment. I am living as it
is. I felt it is the way I am going to present myself to the world,
'I' as it is. Moreover I am not ready to borrow and dump more money
into something which is of no use. No medicine can induce my speed,
No ailment is going to stop me forever. I am happy as I am, as it is.
Friend: But have you heard the doctor
said. Your complete muscles may become numb and insensitive. Ayurveda is only natural. If you
follow his directions, he will make you okay.
Me: Within two years. Right. That too,
not a complete recovery. A 60% development from the current
situation.
Friend : Yes. So what? At least you will
not be like what you are now. Think it like this, it is only two
years.
Me: Okay. Can you assure or predict
what will happen tomorrow or the next moment, my friend?
Friend: I understand what you are
saying. No one here in this world is keeping mum knowing that they
are going to die one or other day. Tomorrow is unpredictable, so, why
can't you live today?
