How important is space?...
In every context today we pay money and a price for space....when we buy a home we pay money for the space enclosed within the flat....which might be 30 feet above the ground...covered in all directions by brick...and we pay lakhs and crores for that space...some people spend their lifetimes for a 10*10 sq.ft of space.When we buy a car its for the space in the car...in clothes we spend for the space enclosed within the cloth that fits our body...a tea cup or vessels are important for the space they provide for food placed in it...a box is valuable for the space it has...a relationship is healthy for the space it has between two people...
Do we actually pay for nothingness?...Arent we actually paying for space in most of the objects in day to day lives?....We pay for space enclosed within any object...because thats whats valuable in the end...
I am still amazed with this word...it carries so much importance...and this space is actually 'NOTHING...and yet look at the importance it has!...It also strengthens my belief that what we cant see is actually real and unchanging and constant...and everything we see is an illusion..ever changing...space is one of the elements we cant see..and the importance it has in our lives is invaluable..more valuable than what i could put in my two paragraphs...my perspective is limited of what i can perceive...but am sure there is loads more which i dont even know about...its all there...somewhere in this space...waiting to be heard and told and seen..

Connections....
I have been wondering about this for long...and finally i think i need to write about it..Its unexplainable...and unlikely...given the boundaries all of us have learnt to believe we live in!
Some people places and events seem so familiar...like you have gone through it before in life...I guess its called Dejavu...then you meet certain people in life whom you have just met and yet within some time you feel like you know them since years...maybe lifetimes...that you have known them so closely before...that even the smallest positive of the person gives a feeling similar to a proud parent and the biggest flaws of the person seem normal and accepted...and you simply accept the person as is!...Its strange--the feeling...and beyond a point in time you dont even need to meet or talk the person...a simple remider of the existence of all these people make you feel content..initially i guess the fact that u have just met these people after years makes you want to talk a lot...like you have to catch up for the years or lifetimes you have missed out on...and then beyond a time...u dont want to speak a single word....just be...
Its like being reminded in this lifetime about a part of you which existed and you had totally forgotten about it!...and now even knowing that these people exist somewhere and that i am reminded in this lifetime of the so many people who exist is amazing....its like we all are a whole and have been split up in different people....so all these ppl are parts of me...which i have been reminded about...
The most amazing part is that it not only exists for my family...but for people i have just known for a year or maybe 4 years...and also for people i have known for 20 years..even for my teachers..and even for people i meet during a journey-just for a few hours..and the conection is so strong that it cannot be a co incidence that i feel the bond with people out of nowhere...these are people i would have known previously...i am just meeting them again...this is equally true for people who have been the worst possible to me in talk and behavior...and i still feel no hatred, no anger...maybe sadness that someone who is mine can be so bad...but my feelings remain unchanged...and this is what makes me wonder all the more...what is this that God has created?....Why is it that we feel that people we meet are connections from some past...and very strong connections...all these people touch my life in a beautiful way and remind me of emotions which have been carried from eternity...They are just Gods way of reminding me of His Connections..

Mirror Mirror on the Wall...
I am reading a book called 'The Fountainhead'....and i guess its one of the best books i would have read till date...it so relates to this part in ou which you cant identify, the same part which just remains neutral or if at all joyful to the entire existence...I guess it connects to your soul...Its not the story...but the character-'Howard Roark'in it...who just IS..thats it!...
One sentence which struck me the most till now was "Most of the ppl want nothing but mirrors around them...to reflect them while they are reflecting too..like a senseless infinity you get from two mirrors facing each other in a narrow passage...Reflections of reflections and echoes of echoes...No beginning and no end..no center and no purpose"..
So true...this is what everyone wants...and u just dont fit into any persons criteria of a friend, acquantance etc if u are not that...and the moment u try to be different...u just arent normal for them...I would love to be anything but a mirror to ppl...Its like cheating the person by being just like how the person front of you wants you to be..Thankfully all my ppl are the ones who let me be...the way i am...which is mostly a 180 degree contrast to what they are...but..both of us have simply accepted each other just the way we are...while there are expectations...none of them are towards changing the other person and being someone you are not..
