Delhi delights !
This Delhi trip was delightfully different ! No mission whatsoever. Just let the cultural and modern delights in Delhi sink in .That was what I did ! My sis Kala is made for plans and people getting together and workmon clockwork precision! And so the "HO-HO trip,the metro rail t rip and the car trip within a matter of few days !
The Diwani Am of the Red fort, the Parliament, Punjabi dhabas, Kerala temple, the Akshardam , the Lotus temple of the Bahais and the Taj ..What a melee of visions and visonaries ! In contradiction, our youngsters find for us new visions... food courts, 3 D films.multistoried fragile looking glass towers and not to forget - the metro rail .When has India not been in transition ?
But now, today is already history and the future. Never the present ! for the presence of the Present seems like a cascade.. water falls and is broken into myriad drops each reflecting a part of the world and space around. Its as though the Present is that drop which hangs in the air just at the point of dropping and making the past. Marvelling at the Taj, it is usual to say "The Time stands still" ! For me , that moment was not revealed . For I run helter skelter after the mirage of time ! In the Diwani am, the time seems hapless. where is all that glory ?.. Just like the hall, time is just a hollow shell of the snail out of which the snail has slowly moved away just leaving a shining trail for those who want to seek it.
In the well of the Parliament, time is counted for the visitors but the discussions in there are nullified often by the walkouts and time is lost !You come out of the Akshardam caves as though from time as a memorial and you meditate in the Lotus to seek the time that is eternal.
Yes Delhi cannot be seen without its backdrop of Time .that is why it delights there any one is a time travellersitting on timemachine which crosses many latitudes and longitudes.
