sweet2007 is now online...

Yesterday, in India was a special day.... it was Diwali..... joy, sweets, crackers, candles, diyas, guys and gals with the best of their traditional attire are some of the things that I guess was synonymous with yesterday.

Somehow for me, there lacked all these things and I was hooked to the PC and browsing the net for some Investment gyan on Investopedia..... at about 9:00 PM my rediff-bol popped up with an alert "sweet2007 is now online".... and for a few moments we were into exchanging Diwali wishes and chatting.

She was disappointed to know that I had not stepped out of the house and was hooked to the Internet on such a beautiful star lit Diwali night... somehow she compelled me to go to the terrace and look at how the Indian sky looked today..... she said it was awesome and lovely and beautiful.... all with an exclamation mark in her chat lines.... I don't know but her words had an effect on me and I decided to go to the terrace for sure to see what was the sky like? what was so awesome about it?

As I was stepping out of the house my friends stepped in so I had to stay but asked them to excuse of 10 mins as I needed to see the sky... they laughed.. come on whats in the sky? I ignored and rushed to the terrace to know what was she so excited about.

As I entered the terrace, I once again felt at home... my true home.... peaceful and blissful..... the big or the biggest room that the world could have was mine now..... the room of a size that even Bill Gates or Ambani could not afford... the sky was my roof........ a roof that extended form infinity to infinity and made my soul infinite....... I looked at the sky... it said to me.... Hey see how beautiful I look today.... at last my admirer has come...

I looked at it and smiled..... it looked so decorated with each second crackers going up in the sky and decorating it with a beautiful spark of light..... in one corner if it was a white streak of light in the form of fountain..... in the other end of the sky it was a red whirlpool...

It was as if a scene of spiritual wedding and the sky was the venue and decorated from tip to toe.... a bliss flowed accross the mind and soul.... and somehow I felt the pride to own such a beautiful room that had the whole sky as its roof.....

Such moments in our life.. when we are in solitude but our soul is in unison with the ultimate soul which I guess is the one of the almighty..... well these may be just mere imagination of my insignificant mind... but, these are the small moments of life that, even though are the most unexplained, bring the bliss that decades of life can not get.... at these moments with the self you are contented .. you are at peace..... you feel as if.... I have lived at last.... no fear of death even comes close to you...... When I was at the terrace last night many crackers were going over my head and some even fell close to me after burning..... but I don't know why the soul instead of getting alarmed and alert was free of any fear..... it said.... so what if these crackers burn me tonight.... am not the body but the soul..... a soul which can't be touched.... a soul which can't be harmed.... a soul which can't be burnt.....

The Diwali went out last night... may be I didn't enjoy in the other aspects of it as I had done in all my previous years.. but it was different... those 10 mins with the self in my spiritual room with the sky as my sheltered roof were enough for me...... I guess I couldn't have a better celebration.

Thanks to that sweet2007 who came online and made me push to the terrace to experience such a small but significant moment of bliss in my life..... I don't know this sweet2007 or who she is actually as we are just chat friends.... but one thing that I believe..... everything happens for a cause.... the sky wanted its occupant to admire it so asked her to push me to my room.... all are just means of the journey.

Well, some one has truly said.... life is not about the years in your life but about the life in your years :)
