Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet ………


Taking a break from my busy life, I was on a 5 day trip to Ponmudi in God’s own country. When I landed on the serene landscape of that much sought after place of visit, it appeared to me as if I have left behind every cruel reality of past & currently entering to a mystical wonderland. It appeared as if the wind whispering melody, the sky humming along with it, and the entire nature welcomes me to the much awaited elixir of life; an antidote to the city busy life.
I was stationed on a tree house aimed at getting a feel of staying amidst nature & experiencing nature at its best. It was a rainy evening that day that was conveying a feeling of coziness……suddenly my eyes found two love birds in this sensual rain, both being completely drenched, a place where two lovers feel the distance between them being erased. I could clearly fathom the mystifying power of love through the action of these two loving pairs & could witness love surging through the tone of the speechless souls. The boy was trying to appreciate the transformed beauty of the girl when rain drops falling off her wet lips. The very moment brought back the old memories & every moment was filled with full of passionate love & sweet feelings. A love that is a desire for beauty - a value that transcends the particularities of the physical body, such love was transcendentally motivated by a deep respect for the lady.
It appeared to me as if the heart of the boy was singing this tune:
“Jo bhi jitne pal jeeyun Unhe tere sang jeeyun Jo bhi kal ho ab mera Usse tere sang jeeyun
Jo bhi saansein main bharoon Unhe tere sang bahroon Chaahe jo ho raasta Usse tere sang chaloon”
The entire nature was celebrating this moment – the extrasensory psychic communication of the two supreme souls.
The unabated rain was constantly pouring in creating a rift between two love birds & after a while separation seemed insurmountable. Even the unflinching magnetic attraction between the two souls was not able to temporarily halt the pouring drops & keep them united – at least for a possibility of the carnival of a momentary reunion. But the fortune has already made its choice………….however left behind a testimony of true love, that was pure, chaste, undemanding and immortal.
I was stuck contemplating, "kitna mazboor hai unka pyaar"; which compelled them to submit to this rain & they had to separate. However my mind was constantly occupied with one thought – “the intensity of pain upon separation” & I was deeply engrossed in that perplexing thought :- A love that is divine, a love that is whole-hearted, a love that is completely consuming, a love that grows with separation & deepens with sacrifice.
