Remembering the future in 4 billion B.C.

Yes, it was in the primeveal sludge of the oceans that we first found each other,
as we began our evolutionary ,seemingly endless, journey towards nothingness,
and we were so apperceptive then , conscious of our consciouness, and how we laughed at the future scenarios, as they were being mapped and unfolding at the same time, in our psyche,
that, of all the possible places on Planet Earth, to evolve as Homo Sapiens in a town called Behrampur, to be schooled at St Vincents , and hurtled towards Youth and beyond,in a frenetic race, until one day the trance broke and we found ourselves frozen in time,
in a Postcard from Vimal

Stanley,here at last we hav a place 2 unwind without feeling self conscious or the fear of criticism .It offers us a breather from the unrelenting ratrace, a space not in the cyber-world but in our own routine existence, where no matter how dreary the going is, we hurry on 2 our little blogworld to affirm that life is a celebration and not a negation!!It is not only comforting but also sustaining!!!

Phir kya hoga, Stan? Hazard a guess as to how would our current state of blogging be 10 years from now? I think the tempo would slow down as we would take comfort in the fact that we know where each one is, every one would have met every one, priorities would change... Google would probably close down the Blog.. who knows!!

Stanley David said...

Yes, Sarita/Vimal,makes you ponder, doesnt it?

But then, what if the future is something that is remembered,like a surrealistic dream......

When life does not find a singer to sing her heart,,,she produces a philosopher to speak her mind......
that sums Stan,,Nargis ,,Sarita,,,,,and Fai in his unimitable way
we r like the deaf,,dumb and blind...holding hands and understanding,,grasping the flavours !
yes,,,this blog is like a garden,,,,witnessing the blossoms,,,it will witness a lull too,,only to rebloom time and again.....
and amidst all this pray why isnt anyone talking abt the re???

Ashu, that was a great comment about the blossoming of ideas ... I suspect there is a 'singer-cum-shairi'in you, waiting to delight us.

Hen is returning to Bangalore via train on tuesday --meanwhile, he wanders desolately on the streets of the City of Joy (Bangla) --he will surely have a flood of comments on his ruminations there... You will be pleased to know that one of his first queries when I rang him up was "HAS ASHU CROSSED CHAPPAN ?" (56 COMMENTS)

sarita said...

What better intoxication can there be than the 1 here?? so folks drink deep..for there is this lurking fear always of it going dry. Love that well which you may lose ere long ...(or so d line reads and very aptly at that!! )

Stanley David said...

How can the well dry up when the emotions are being poured out and stored in APSCAFROVIMA on a daily basis, like rainwater harvesting.

And thanks for the birthday wishes.

"Thorns in a rose, and poetry in a prose" --you seemed to be dripping quotable quotes like a regular Emily Dickenson, one of my fav poets --Nargis, I am really impressed

No IF's and BUT's. Gotcha do it....
