On a crowded train, I stood both on the
edge of life and the door balancing my foot on the flimsy footrest.
The train raced through the station, the music of the pandemonium filled the compartment.
I noticed a blind woman weaving her way through the party of people.She looked rattled and appeared to be fraught with stress.
She waited for something to happen, possibly that would alleviate her anxiety.
She had bright round eyes.I looked into her eyes,it was dark with no expression.She wiped the sweat on her face and pushed dark glasses on her nose ,
possibly to hide her sadness and pain.
Her whole world revolved on sound , touch and feeling the world through the end of the stick.
She probably had something to make a living out of , that was her lifeline. Maybe a loving family or a thick network of friends.
Did it matter that the world around was dark?The the universe is dark and that is why we are trying to shine a torch on it?
Is her world shrouded in sunlessness or was it that the moon was shining bright.
Her entire existence was confined in the shackles of darkness, all colors were the same, all emotions were the same.
Is this the transcendental state that we try attain through copious sessions of meditation?
Her nonchalant eyes ;was it a symbol of having found inner peace or ignorance being bliss.
The world’s answers are exciting only because of it is unearthed after a prolonged era of gloaming?
What is darkness,is it the jostle of light that surpasses tenebrous day or the cloud of prominence that dominates it.
The universe is dark,thousands of stars and suns illuminate it,is it that darkness is so powerful that it shuts off the light or
is it that it enables the resplendent radiance of stars to be noticed.
Darkness is the unknown,the possibility of finding that glimmer of light that leads us out.
That thread of optimism is what help us live.The shadow is visible only because light falls on this planet and
we need that dark patch to remind us that even with light, there is darkness around.They co exist.
Probably our life is intertwined with light and darkness .Whether it is optimism or pessimism, or the fact vs fantasy is up to us.
As long as we don’t demarcate that,the push in the pursuit of unraveling the mystery will egg us on the journey of life.
