Baskar Seshadri<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was on my terrace again. Sounds as if I was climbing to my brain and making a deep enquiry. Not though.<\/p>\n

This evening was very fresh and the small plane at an altitude to me was like a small snail just moving and I could not keep my head or eye on it for long.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There were other things. That wonderful blue sheet of canvas was amazing and having seen it several times it never made me tired and every time I look up it was there.<\/p>\n

And I only do not see it. When I see it I wonder how I have missed it for too long. But I will board a different plane altogether after seeing it.<\/p>\n

What then happens to the sky when I don\u2019t see it? Nothing. It used to be like it was when I saw last.<\/p>\n

Me seeing and not seeing enjoying it or ignoring it does not make a difference to it. It is neither for a boquette nor for a brick bat. It doesn’t need me. No one either. It can be there for no one and not even for itself. A probing mind on science or astronomy can resolve by saying the existence in years but what about and how about it being there<\/p>\n

Do we need mathematics here or the art of beatitude and wonder of the nature?<\/p>\n

Am I the part of the sky or the earth?<\/p>\n

Why should I be fascinated towards that blue bed sheet?<\/p>\n

How is that I become nothing when I am with it?<\/p>\n

Is that being nothing is everything in life?<\/p>\n

I am back to work and that sky is in me and I can make it alive anytime I want.<\/p>\n

After all the very thought of the sky can evoke me if I think about it.<\/p>\n

I am the thought. sky is being thought . I am the sky. I wonder at it. At me too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
