I sit here in a pool of light on my bed. The time is around midnight, and bhai in my room
have long ago dropped off to sleep.
As I write this now, I am reflecting on why I decided to set out on this uncomfortable challenge to write for this blog. I plan to write (or post a photo, or video, or art...) every day for 30 days straight. An x-ray of my life, so to speak. I've been meditating on what I would even write all day, but I had an experience tonight that tells my tale perfectly.
The day spent gloomy.I totally hate it.So,this evening I went on a walk with Mridhuna to the Park.She's a 14 year old neighbour of mine.It's a chilly winter evening,not much people on our way.While taking a round of the park,she asked me If I would like to climb a tree.
"Whaaaat? Yeaah..Sure!".I was amazed and laughed and agreed instantly.
She found her tree,directed me the steps of climbing up.It was Fun!.
After sometime we got down with our hands soiled.I saw a fountain splashing water on grass.A sudden burst of energy filled me.I got her hand and ran towards the fountain.
"Let's Go Girl..Let's get drenched!".
I felt like a little girl with her.She laughed like a little kid feeling amused.
We jumped,we shouted,we danced under the fountain.I didn't even realize I was doing it, but Mridhuna called to my attention my gasps of amazement.I would take in a big breath of air, my mouth would open, and my eyes would widen and light up like matches.
Some people who were there for their evening jog keep laughing.I would laugh at myself every time I caught myself doing it.
While coming back shivering,fully drenched, Mridhuna said, "Didi,You don't seem like a 3rd year student.You're like me.You're like you're in this spirit of discovery. Everything is amazing, an adventure, fresh."
And I realize that that is precisely the reason I am setting out on the endeavor of this blog. I'm here for the discovery, the wonder, the adventure. That an unplanned trip to a nearby park can be bursting with the color and vibrancy of a blind man just given eyes to see.
And this is how I want to live my life as an adventure,as a gift from God.
