I have four buddies in my home. They came when they were very small. Now they are at the cusp of their youth. They swim around most of the day, but make sure i feed them every morning enough. Else, they make such a splash! Yes, they are fish. They also make sure to add colors to my already violently colorful days. So far, every time I tried to look at them carefully, they made sure to dissuade me with their antics, frustrating me abundantly. Yesterday, I was desperately trying to capture them in my camera. Almost always they would turn away the moment I get to zero-in a frame. As if I am being a paparazzi to them, the celebs!
Sometimes I also turn back from the world when it comes to me face to face. Why? I don’t really know. May be it is internalized sense of inadequacy, may be a deep desire to see and not show. Who knows? But there are rare occasions, when the world indeed get to meet me and do so. We smile. We greet. We part ways. Once again!
May be this turning away from familiar is life for me. So, let us raise our glasses to the quick glances and snappy turns. May I keep turning away!
