A Single Wish

While star gazing, I happened to see a shooting star. Reminding myself of the sanctity of its mystical power established in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, I wanted to test it.

 ..........TEST.....CASE...........

My wish is very simple - Leave job. Get a billion bucks for a lifetime and...

Start off on my feet and see the whole of world myself, through my own eyes, capture the whole palette of myriad colours of my land through lens, paint on my way the hitherto unknown which bemuses and delights me simultaneously, pen down my random contemplations at one stop, share it with some stranger at another.

See the farms, the fields, the dwarfing skyscrapers, feel the sunrise and sunset, smell the land after rains, listen to the waves dashing against the formidable rocks, examine the fresh dew drops on the greens turned greener, trace the path of an ant that carries a grain of wheat on itself, find the home of a rat, check (though telescopically) how do cockroaches live under the floor, learn the making of a mud chulha, take part in the excavation of a prehistoric site, .........$%#...@*&....

Get a time-machine and travel to see the evolution of life on earth, how did man discover fire and potter's wheel, how exactly did Cleopatra look like, meet Napolean, the Egyptian Kings, the emperors Askoka, Alexander, the dynasties that ruled the world and  the various seers and founders of religions. Then forward time by some centuries to experience the trials and troubles of the scientists and how they overcame or succumbed to the pressures of the orthodox Churches and see the journey of India from the Golden Sparrow period to present.

Make a rocket and shoot off into space at the speed of light to check the Saturn's rings, the giant Titan, and the red Mars, greet the little pluto now lying in limbo, and surge out of our solar system, then from our milky way, find the blackholes.....and go far, far away in the depths of the ever expanding,,,,,,,,,,,the space out there is so vast to explore, aint it?

Turn lilliputian and enter the car's engine to see how a spark from the spark plug ignites the fuel and starts motion, then lose almost all my weight to experience the free fall of a feather, and become more diminished, to have a word with the bacteria and then finally, become so miniscule and lose all my mass, so that I can associate with the God's particle (Higgs Boson attributes mass to a particle).

Ultimately, I also wish to meet God!

Wishes galore. Still mine is just 'A Single Wish' !

Oh! Did I miss someone to accompany me?

WHITE!

In Science, there's a concept that says the colour of an object is the one which is reflected by the object and not that the object possesses.

For all the things I see green, they aren't actually green. This used to fuddle me up to eventually become a source of fascination like the Matrix theme and more recently, the Inception.

Perceptions aren't that fake but yes, they do fascinate me. All the time you spend convincing yourself that your sticking to your decisions was prudent enough,goes futile the moment one tells you and then you realise too, that there weren't any green pigments, my perception was just the reflection.

Perceptions are so colourful, all of them reflect myriad colours. Yours, mine, and so many others'.

Just wonder if one could converge them all to make WHITE.

Possible?.... How?

But Won't that make a BLACK somewhere???
