Wandering Thought...

Today in 2 years was the first time when I got out of the house without the baggage of "to-do things" or rather the normal human-tendency approach. Got out of the house, took the first bus coming my way, listen to my first instinct and just went with the flow. Took the tram from Farbohf and didn't even bother to listen to the tram stops.

Enjoying the tepid and lukewarm sun, walked around with unburdened shoulders and a free heart. Clicked some pictures; the only thing worrying me was the camera battery at that point of time. While clicking pictures the thing which ran down my mind was the freedom of being married (but yet being single). 'Being single' why?... because of my dotted partner who encourages me to wander around and get attached to my writing habits and esp. to listen to my inner soul.

First time in those 2 years of running around buses, catching trams, learning German, echoing German names, worrying about missing red-lights, worrying about unfinished Grocery lists, I found 'myself', in this intrusive life. Right now sitting inside a Coffeehouse and writing this makes me nostalgic of my lonely days and nights, of my derelict days and dreamy nights, where I just wandered around, wrote, read, hummed music and lived in my own little cocoon.

Switzerland, it is beautiful, curvy, bright with Louis Vuittons...lol - high heels, more people sipping coffee, outside the restaurants than inside....hahahaha, but thats the European Culture. 'Sunlight', not only brings out the hidden insects but also the Swiss out of their nutshells. On the contrary I too have started craving for the sunlight as if I haven't seen it before. Trams, one of the major transport system in main Swiss Cities, wanders around the curvy roads like the green caterpillars in the gardens. The lady sitting next to me in the coffee house seems all alone and clueless of the world around her, sorting her taxes away. From this instance I can feel that man is completely lost in the worldly affairs.

People keep passing each other on the road, getting in and off the trams, cars keep moving, everything seems to me like a fast-forward video which is indeed never ending. Its true man is caught in his own web. Have you ever wondered how we lose ourselves in this fast-forward world? Ohhh, here catches my attention Bus Nr 31....a pretty famous bus on the block, not only because of its timings, but also because of the appearance it carries. My term of naming it "Machined Caterpillar". Ah, anyways, where was I..... yes on the busy bulk life... where we lose our inner voices to do something for ourselves.

Yesterday i saw a movie named "Into the Wild"... about a man's bewilderedness in the search of inner peace where he abandons himself into the nature. But in the end he sums up his story with a single line which left a very deep impact on my mind..."Real happiness is nothing unless shared".

We humans are blessed with an emerging sense of love, to show love, to give love and to get love which no one except can do. Then why do we take it for granted. Well "Human Nature". But nevertheless, life is beautiful. We must not forget our innerselves, our intuitive minds and hearts, which give us the strength to judge right and wrong in this world.

I might not make sense of what I'm writing but I just listen to my intuitive heart and go with the flow and believe me my pen doesn't stop flowing.........

  1. Its after very long that you have written something, and i agree with your husband, that you should write more often, i feel this is the best way you express your actual inner feelings.
    Having the opportunity to read many of your earlier school days writings as well, i genuinely feel that you express a much more positive attitude towards life in your writings than in your spoken words. It seems that when you write, all the problems and tensions of social life seem to shrink and become small in front of beauty of thinking and ability finding a meaning, that god has offered us in life.

    Feels great to connect with you at this level.
    Keep it up and going!!
    Will wait for your next one.

    Good luck
    Cheers

  2. It's such a pleasure to read your blog! You've written about the little things in this city which we miss out on in our daily routine, rightly pointed out because of the 'things-to-do'. I liked your style of writing, particularly with each paragraph having a distinct message and yet you have done so well in maintaining a smooth flow throughout the post. You should write more often :-) Thanks for sharing!

    Great work!
