There was hoopla all around,
people were busy in a variety of activities, collectively understood to be
enjoyment. It was a beach side New Year party. Scared by the madness of the
swarming people around, I started walking away. Jostling my way through the
people drenched in the lively disposition, I thought to take a stroll along the
beach promenade. As I came out of the raucous, I witnessed the vastness of the
sea. I stayed still for a moment, and then decided to take the weight off my
feet and sit beside the looming waves. There was a peculiar serenity in its
ruffling yet calm waves lustred by the silky moonlight. The approaching waves
had no particular purpose and receding was the inevitable part of the process. Unaware
of its mesmerizing beauty the ingenuous sea with and expanse of infinity and
the sounds of harmony, was just too involved in playing with its waves. I was
amused and kept staring at its vastness.
I too wish to undulate, roll, ripple...
I too wish to know the vastness of my heart. I too wish to know the art of not
only moving ahead, but also to know when to recede. I too wish my ruffling
thoughts to take calm at times. I too wish that whosoever comes to me gets
drenched into my thought waves. I too wish to be as mystifying as its depth. I
too wish to have a moon in my life, who can bring tides out of me. I don’t know
why did I turn towards the silence of the sea, but that silence spoke loud to
me. I guess sometimes it is good to take a break from all the rush around and
listen to your silence. Or maybe, it wasn’t the silence of sea, it was the
silence inside that was finding a place to talk to me. Give some space to
yourself, and at times, turn towards the silence of the sea...
Suddenly, I heard a shrill voice,
“hey Rohan! What are you doing there man? All the fun is here”. I asked myself
“Really?” and then walked back towards the heaving mob.
"If there is something deeper than you, its my heart"
