I wonder...

I wonder at all the experiences life throws at us during each day, their meaning and their utilty!

I wonder at the truck that misses me by the proverbial whisker and wonder why???

I wonder at the chance stop at a thela to sample a mongodi which turns out to be a treat! The standing around the thela and chatting leading to unbounded reminsces...

I wonder at the daily rising of the sun, and it meaning?

I wonder at the swings of my mood... its jumping from bad to ok to good although nothing has changed in the environment...

I wonder at the troughs that life throws in my way, and how a crest follows each trough!

I wonder at the crests in the wave of life, and am amazed at how the crest would not have been there had the trough not been present....

I wonder how each success is built upon a failure...

I wonder why my face lights with joy on seeing my family after a few days gap - even though we had parted the earlier occasion with a monumental fight?

I wonder what my son will be like when he grows... and will he remember me and his mother...

I wonder at the glow of the tube-light, the whirr of the fan, the hum of the washer, the image of the TV, the sound of the Music System... 

I wonder at my own efforts to get through life...

I wonder at where will life lead us... then I remember a sight I will never ever forget - my father's ashes being immersed in front of the Rajendra  Prasad Ghat...

I wonder why is it that my wish is that my own ashes be immersed there, at that exact spot... when I know that dad's traces will have been obliterated...

I wonder at the green of the leaves, the colours of the flowers, the blue of the sky, and...

I wonder where else in this universe will this be???? And why here?????

I wonder at the purpose of this experience of life, of how joy and sorrow are intermingled and inseperable, of how both are ephemeral in their very nature, of how life itself is a euphemism for a passing stage...

And then I wonder, I wonder, I wonder...



I wonder why is it that a man is always caught when he tells a lie, and why a woman...
well, lets just restrict ourselves to the male of the species!

{just though to close on a light note}
