The Drive

I never choose to drive but Drive chooses me. It was on the Southern Starting Point of India few days before… Suddenly there was a question inside me. “How about taking this route Mr. Jay?” – Who else will ask that question than Mr. Drive? I accepted his question even without answer. And…

There a new world welcomed me. A world of no man / woman.

 (I am fortunate to be a Male or else I will find it tough to drive on this route alone, though the people are so good in nearby areas!) . The single road took me to a dead end and few Kms of that road brought a “Myself and Nature “dating time. The silence was impeccable though waves created a rhythm in bordering the silence. The “see through sea “from window was a classic portrait. Every meter I moved, I collected a new visual. Soul was well fed. Enriched. Green / Blue Sea with white foam waves, clear sand, sudden wet painting by persistent waves … What a variety of food it was to my soul!

When you drive alone, when you play your music, when you maintain a speed below fifty, when you feel a kind of “this is what I am” loneliness … I guess a new world in you begins. Some feelings are verses. Can’t be written but can be read.

There was an old lady asked me… “Who are you? “. I said. “Why you are here? “. I said. “What is here to see?”… I replied… “You “. A powerful linguistic offence from my side but she smiled and replied … “Me? “. I saw a ray of moving blush on her face. A female is a female is a female. Isn’t?
She asked me… “Have you been to that side?” – showing the other side. I said. “Then go there… It will be calm and beautiful. You can take your car very next to sea “. I did. The result is the above visual. She, the local google for me smiled and left. Google said to me few minutes before that the road is closed. Here she guides me. Human Beings are best google maps!

I drove back home. There was a call from the one who knew my intent well. “Where you have been? “. I said. She said … “So … This is the best time to be with you since your soul is rich. Come home. “. I politely refused. For the human mind, it may be a best time. Certainly not for the soul. Soul expects to stand on its own axis. Simple, Roaming, Detached, Living full.

If you have such soul in you, you can say yourself… “We both are connected ” – irrespective of we know or don’t know each other. Let’s start our inner dialogue from that connects.

Yes. I am listening to you.
