The first thing that strike my mind was a new moment for the beggar and moreover a happy moment. Adjacent to the old man, was another lady -- might be around 40 years old, healthy and strong -- came up running and begged before the foreigner. This time the man deny-ed.
Again the the line echoed in my mind -- Always a new moment, be it happy, be it sad -- Always a new moment :)
Being a computer freak, writing a blog fascinated me more than a mere diary entry.
But no...lets stop at this point..I am confused....damn confused...Why a new moment ? Where does actually it comes from and more significantly what drives a new moment ?? Seems like we need some answers !!!
An article on internet reads as
" In a vast movement of time, each moment gives place to another and experience is the only in that moment. Previous moment is just a memory, however fresh and implanted in the mind it may be. Towards what is the other momentum ? It is towards crystal gazing, towards the future. If mind is not caught up thus in the past and the future, there is no movement. Every new moment has a fragrance of that experience. "
"Fragrance of experience", does that means, next time the old man sees a foreigner, he will rush towards him, expecting a 100 bucks again or does that means that the lady should not approach the foreigner ?
Again a catch: The word experience should be well defined. Experience of whom, the beggar, the foreigner, the lady or someone else ? At this point of time I remember the lessons learned in science, about how a cell gives birth to two sister cell, that may be alike or very different from each other. Analogous to it, a moment characterized by the experience of many events give birth to many new moments, which probably is perceived by each individual in a very different way.
So, the moment the foreigner gave 100 bucks to the old man, it simulated three new moments, one each for the foreigner, the old man and the lady. I can not comment on there individual perception, but me it was the moment that gave me the title to this new blog and certainly changed the perception towards the life.
Enjoy moments, as they come and go.
Happy Diwali to all of you :)
