An aspect of life that fascinates me, always!

It’s a very common thing that happens to me, either when I’m all by myself reflecting over something or even when I’m with others and that too during interaction, my mind (or is it my soul?) wanders out of my body, goes to faraway places that are familiar to me or visit people who mean a lot to me, spends time around there/with them and returns, without causing any disruption to the work that I’ve been doing. I’ve also gleaned from my conversations with others that it’s a phenomenon which has been experienced by every one of them and that too, on a regular basis. It can thus be safely deduced that it’s an aspect of life that every man or woman born on this earth is privy to. What fascinates me is that one’s mind( or the soul) always returns to one’s body without ever losing its way enroute! And the baffling thing is that there are many such movements, involving enormous distances, crisscrossing one another as they take place at the same time.
Conversely, imagine the chaos that would erupt if someone else’s mind (or the soul) were to fetch up into one’s body!! The beauty is that it never happens and that’s yet another law of nature or the cosmic truth.

Obit. The 89 year old gentleman who was admitted the other day into the Base Hospital, Delhi Cantt for a broken femur, passed away late this afternoon. He’d suffered a cardiac arrest in the wee hours of this morning, revived by the doctors and put on life support systems for the whole of the forenoon. I got the impression that he’d lost the will to live, thanks to the hideous atmosphere of the ICU and he was begging his son to have him taken out of that place, yesterday evening. His 79 year old wife, who is back home says that she’s missed his angry howls and taunts for the last few days that he had been here and now she will hear them never again. As I write this, he’s on his way to his final resting place at Moga. May his soul rest in peace and may God give courage to the old lady and the family to bear the loss.
