Life – It goes by.
As it goes by few dots are connected. Over a time it is astonishing to notice that the connected dots form a circle.
Not for a very long time though, it took me one year to see
that circle.
Dec 31st,
2012 – Dubai
It was a beach party with UV painted faces and glow sticks
hanging around our necks. Fireworks, live saxophone house music and the luxury
of being lost defined the way how a new year has to be revealed again. I could
draw the connections to what happened on an immeasurable scale a year ago.
My love towards colours, darkness and music all came to life
pulling me back into time.
Dec 31st,
2011 – Somewhere around Bengaluru
With some sought of a plan along with my friends we were on
our way to a party. Having no idea on where it is and whom we are going to hang
out with, we ended up in a place which for sure I am not going be there again in
rest of my life. Not that the place is terrible or something, in fact it is one
of the most beautiful places I’ve witnessed in the dark, but I am not so sure where
it was.
Around five of us with some unknowns in no one’s land
surrounded with huge trees and all sought of vegetation, the night is turning
out to be exciting as our eyes got accustomed to that darkness. My friends and
acquaintances were mere shadows in that labyrinth which possibly was imagined
or actual.
There was this thumping music blasting out of the car and
for me it seemed like that was the origin from where we all came. That origin
of intense music, it was my landmark in the dark and the brightest thing I
remember seeing was the night sky through the gaps between trees and leaves. As
I stare up I time and again used to lose track on the ground reality. But as
long as I hear the music I felt that I was in my territory. The place and
surroundings made me feel that I am one among them and with that pride and joy
I often used to burst with random dance moves. I know somewhere around all my
friends also would be enjoying the same way. I retraced the path in the dark to
catch up with them, while on my way, I noticed some glowing colours in the air
dancing in various patterns, for an instance it looked so alien to me but in
next to some time as I approached I could make out that they were some
visualizations from the laptop which was placed above the car.
One after the other, all of us gathered there and it was
like for the first time I developed a special liking for the visualizations. Those
dancing colours appeared like some force which brought unity. Thanks to the one who arranged it.
While it was still dark just before the sun was all set to
blaze up we stopped on our way back and it was amazing to notice the
surroundings gaining their life and colours back. The vastness of the place, the
beauty it contained, the mystical sun rise, the vividness and the early prayers
we could hear faintly from a place not so far defined the perfect morning.
I could see those shadows being peeled out of my friends
which they were carrying all night, and I certainly knew there were some
connections established among us.
All this was more like we all were unwrapping 2012 which came to us as a cosmic gift.
