15 JANUARY 2008
Surya Temple , Shukrtal , Uttar Pradesh .

I am sitting at the Shukrtal Ghats, the Ganges flowing , Sun shining and branches dancing with the wind and I remembered my mother. She told me once -
"FLOWING WATER EQUATES TRANQUILITY ,
SUNSHINE MEANS CLARITY , NATURE IS CALMNESS , SPIRITUALITY MEANS TRUTH AND PRAYER TO GOD SIGNIFIES DEVOTION .
SO , whenever you are lost in thoughts or don't know what to do or can't make a decision see some flowing river or rain , see the rays of sun , sit under a tree , remember the god or close your eyes and remember what made you into what you are today is you feel positive the answer is yes and if you see evil the answer is no and if nothing , give a try"

After the talk with my dad in his study the next morning of Lohri I felt infinite emotions at one moment but something that lingered and still is ;
I WAS LOST . period .

So, I remembered her words and drove here .
I have a lot of memories with my Mumma here , this place doesn't only remind me of her , but the peace she had within , the clarity in her actions and her true devotion to life .

"Hey what are you doing here'' , a man in maybe his mid-late twenties broke my trance and he sat beside me , without invite ... IT'S FINE
"You seem to be in deep thoughts" - he again speaks

"Yes , trying to figure the future"
I reply , not sure if I should speak to someone like this , but maybe talking to an unknown person might help . MIGHT .

"Hey , again lost" he flicks his finger in my face

"Looks like I zoned out" - I reply "Hmm...exactly , looked like that . So what do you do ?"
"Business''
"In India?''

"Worldwide , situated in New York"
" Great . What exactly ?" "Everything , and if I find something I don't , I start it"

"Hmm Impressive , so how old are you"

"Turned 18 , last month" "No ways , you don't seem to be 18"
"What do I seem to be then'' , I countered

"Not a sweet talker" , he chuckles
"Been told worse"
