Let Me Die in My Footsteps

good morningWoke up to a very “trekky” mind - This time not going to any place..Rather trekking in my mind

The morning newspaper speaks today “ ”48 hours we will bomb you Binny“ (aka bin landen) says Bushy ” contrast “ 13 places bombed in Bombay on 12th march 1993 - still today we are crying to get hold of the real culprits ” we know the culprits though “ here in my office canteen im desperately trying to carry on an interesting conversation explaining how a ball point pen functions ” but seems “will bushy bomb binny” and “Dil chahta hai” are the only topics everyone seems to be interested in “again in my pursuit to carry on a discussion on the wonders of nature - surprisingly and abruptly interrupted -that I speak and look liked he character in DCH ( as they call it) played by Amir Khan..Hahahah

so much for the wonders of the nature and so much for my conversation. Looks like we want to live in a DCH world..

When I was at a younger age - - there was a cartoon on doordarshan TV, in which a small fish is trying to survive from a bigger one in the big sea“ ”SIMI“ was the name of the cartoon and the small fish. If u remember - a peculiar tune running behind - kids today have a different surprise for them ”- SIMI Banned “ read newspapers for more info - At home ” trying to listen to some music “ some words of a Bob Dylan song ”let me die in my footsteps“ - it goes

”there’s been rumors of war and wars that have been,

the meaning of life has been lost in the wind,

and some people thinking that the end is close by,

Instead of learning to live we are learning to die,

Let me die in my footsteps

Before I go down under the ground“ ”

Thinking “ feeling down ” stressed “ I’ll do what i can ” trying to walk like a man “ then Nostradamus ” predictions “ talks ”I love painting trees on canvas “ newspapers ” media “ people ” “mother do u think they’ll drop the bomb” “ binny v/s bushy ” India v/s Kashmir “ Islam @deaths = sacrifices of human life’s is it? ” Same old fears, god wish u were here.

But hope is not lost “ the law of nature still exist - if there are a number of wrong doers - the bad people - then are the number of good doers - the good people.” - There’s a small girl in our neighborhood - she comes to learn drawing from my dad, she has blood cancer she is 15 and now hospitalized “ from a middle aged family ” 5 lakhs required for treatment “ efforts taken - the good doers” 6 lakhs collected “ her father today morning came to our house ” thanking my sister “ saw his eyes - they had the positive attitude ”

Whether Binny is bombed or not - the success story of DCH resembles my life’s story or not“

For me

The word ”hope“ somehow still exists”.

let me die in my footsteps before i go down under the ground
