New Life

Its been over 10 days now since I arrived in London.They say you really know a place from the people living in it. But by God so many different faces!! Hard to say yet anything, I am still a newbee.The journey here was good - quite vacant plane, nice service , smiling airhostesses : aah this is the life. 9 hours 56 minutes.Thats all that took me to go over countries.Isnt the world small?The clouds were breath-taking.Mind you this isnt my first long distance flight.But they always charm you to no ends.On board the only decent movie I found was 'Cars'. Had to watch it 2 times. Then switched to TV channels.Boy, did Raymond make me laugh.Soon the anouncement "Ladies and gentlemen...".I looked out my window - I saw its shores - The Thames.I had reached : London ! The city they say one will fall in love with..My journey had begun.
Down below the Olympic Stadium lay, a white saucer with poles sticking out of it - from above it looked strange.The curving Thames, cutting through the heart of this great city.I landed.My feet was shaking.Not of fear, but of excitement.I wished to run out.To feel the cold wind on my face.I must be patient,there is still Customs.The long wait, before I go outside.The feeling is intense.The Medical officer was coming and my heart was racing.Not due to fear but due to ...

My Heart

Its a strange feeling that crept in my heart. I couldn't breathe - I looked at my watch time and again. What's happening to me? I am cold yet I am sweating - there is cool breeze giving me goose bumps - still I am restless. I see the stars up and wonder - God what's happening! I feel her closeness to my heart - I can hear her breath - I can smell her freshness. My soul is on fire - It knows not reason nor does it hear a sound. I embrace her - she squirms in my arms. I look down and see myself looking up - God she's amazing! Why now - why must I face pain and happiness now. Those eyes - those soulful eyes looking at me like asking "Will the world end tomorrow?". I can only smile - my senses have left me. I see again into those depths and go into a dream :

Its raining. There is an eerie silence. I hear footsteps - I look around and see myself. Why? Why ohh dear! Why must I be alone with "myself".

I come out of that dream. She is still looking:

Why ohh God why,
Must she have to die?

What charms me a lot.

It is said : "Life is the most mysterious of elements in this Universe".
Alchemists have broken down the human body into chemicals like sodium , potassium , calcium and what not down to the last whisker of hair. But why is an artificial human missing? Life. Thats whats missing from the formula. We humans think human life is the most sacred form - yet aren't we forgetting that even a single amoeba has life?
It is said "Life is intoxicating". Yes - its very true, haven't you ever felt like you are so choked up with feelings that you are on a different dimension? Like, one goes from one dream to another like going from one-dimension to another. Isn't that ride "life" too? why not? Its you who are going - Life transcends time - Its breaks space-time continuum. Its what we know is our most prized possession - isn't that why we all say "Life is worth living".
