A reflection...

An evening on a weekend is finally an opportunity when we move away from the hustle and bustle of our life to give ourselves a glimpse of what relaxation and leisure means...!

A working life is similar in these ways to an engine which works hard making a lot of noise and expending a lot of energy on weekdays to finally get a moment of silence and relaxation on weekends. The engine finally gets an opportunity to relax its parts and give itself the necessary maintenance and oiling to once get back into motion.

As I was standing on the balcony on the 9th floor of my apartment, suddenly the city went pitch dark. The power failure had failed. The lights around me faded but there was a glimmer of illumination which came from a place far far away. Indeed miles away and that was the moon and the stars. But this illumination was enough for me to see my reflection on the glass of my window at the balcony. I could see my reflection very clearly in that glass and as I was examining it, the power came back. The lights of my apartment were back in action and suddenly I lost that reflection in the illumination of the light which came from inside my room.

The modern amenities of the world hardly leave a moment of truth and a moment to see your own reflection. We get so lost in them that we do not even realize that we lost viewing ourselves for years and its only when the "chashma" of these modern amenities and modern life is removed from our eyes that we manage to see ourselves...!

It is strange to see how our modern life is taking ourselves away from ourselves..!!!!
