You may recollect me as a person whom you have seen on a previous event. Indeed, you have not seen me. Yet, he understood the creator's words as somebody who entered a vessel for angling and was not traceable... Later .. I was in genuine sirens living arrangement. I can't inform you precisely concerning the likelihood that they were genuine sirens, yet I'm certain any individual who vouchsafe who were not the same as creatures, we see typically in this life. Of my internal awareness', splendid flashes and a noteworthy going with mermaids took me to a mansion. The mansion of the leader of the sea. The leader of the sea they called, Ignatius. This Ignatius was a man of profound concern, astoundingly able and touchy to all mermaids and mermen and was demonstrating affectability to all creatures generally speaking. My stay in that imperial living arrangement was a noteworthy thing to the extent the rules of life are concerned. They gave me isolate room as well, civilities fit for a ruler. The sirens educated me in a dim lingo until at that point. I can likewise guarantee you that it was a praiseworthy intrigue. This I say especially on the premise that I have heard various men and women on this awesome planet lament even properly that their pursuits were more stirred by insatiability rather than reason but then these individuals made a fortune in the outline of pieces, Mortar and stones Along with silver vessels and silk dresses, I can state that they were not hopeful. Some even let me know to my own particular ears that they misused their lives. Or, then again, to the truth that their assistants were not right or much more loathsome, their dad or instructor constrained them to hold fast to the legitimate premise or considerably more ludicrous to satisfy these things. In such a way I should state that man has a particular vitality to change his life at any stage if the objective to change sufficiently strong, the conditions to this effect will be taken after. In addition, if the change does not happen quickly when the course is occupied to the right bearing, the change will occur later, and with a steady hold and an objective life will witness awesome thought processes. Once in a while, I heard a set and at the head of it was a young lady whose face without blame reminded the individual who approached me for Somoza in a bistro on a landmass...
The scene happened along these lines. I was invited for a limit alongside my life partner and there were a subject and dialogUE that appeared to never be finished and considering that my significant other was totally caught up in it, I was not in any condition and meanwhile, My legs were tormenting and I envisioned inspiration to take off. I attempted to contact my life partner who was owning one of the front sections and I was to some degree behind and yes. I endeavoured to connect with her on the cellphone saying she was in a meeting and possibly I would join her following an hour or something like that. Regardless, unusually my telephone was not clear [I later understood that it was not the instrument's blame, yet rather some individual had kept it in a less uproarious way] and as you can envision I couldn't get the message crosswise over She and I exited the entryway, wanting to come back to the foyer before the meeting was finished. This was the occasion that I went to the avenues of that city and I went to the area of a bistro working under a fig tree, which encouraged the clients of a close to the sacrosanct place. When I requested tea and bread rolls, a little young fellow of around four years moved to me and asked me to Somoza who sold that store. I was somewhat astonished. In any case, she gave him that little blessing and amidst all that remaining parts of the day, the picture of her in his ugly appearance and the edge frequented me liberally in progressive between times ...

MY THOUGHTS AFTER THE INCIDENT
The occasions that happened before over the span of the time fomented me a ton. Having raised in a group of sceptics, I couldn't entirely fathom the unforeseen development. Great ruler, am I a trick to trust all these stuff. I would prefer to overlook these things rather over concede the unquenchable of those occasions. It was at that point turning me half distraught and my sceptic mother who in the event that hears my story will laugh at me and even ridicule me. What a trick am I. Having been raised in a most libertarian air with a father who had an entourage of rationalistic devotees, am I to trust this quizzical story regardless of the possibility that it is my own. Am I excessively unsuspecting, making it impossible to surrender my chance regarded convictions in one single day? Having rehearsed all through my childhood as a right hand to a popular specialist name's identity in the Guinness book would it be advisable for me to trust this changing story?. It is frequently likely that men demonstration all the more as per impulses and quick inconveniences that held an influence on them that minute than as indicated by standards and levelheaded surmisings. Such individuals have a tendency to clarify things away too effortlessly and too early, on their senseless reasons which in actuality are more provoked by their own particular senseless bothers that have nonce in and be happy with it and consider it a story the same number of different stories. all that I devour or has entered my framework has modified my awareness. This was conceivable in light of the fact that once I recollect my companion who was considering a few herbs revealed to me that specific sustenances or plants can change our view of reality. Yet, I felt that in the event that I needed to contemplate about it for long, It won't fill my need. It is best to experience my present reality to the full in light of my present conviction the tremendous plan of things. Such individuals make high sounding methods of insight all alone shortcomings than in light of long objective contemplating. They are in actuality deceivers however the pitiful condition of things is
their perception does not go to such a stretch out to see their traps. More than to themselves they are terrible helpers and most exceedingly terrible advisers for their kids. History is loaded with such generally welcomed numb-skulls, and one needs remarkable splendour not to stroll as indicated by their way. To come to the point, the present change in me was not something that I trusted totally and I was increasingly attempting to discover the truth and false notion of it. One probability is that some weed or chemic great applicable things that are not in clarify things on the premise of the closest idea accessible and google and discover a quack in this domain whose exclusive reason for existing is to profit by a few means, reasonable or foul and hoodwink individuals and think they are savvy enough to live in this world in preferable guidelines over others.. Individuals who charge for each administration they render in life and show youngsters the odd propensity for finding an edge in each experience. As though life is a major business. A multi-million realm that is under their decide and envision that they are the heads of such an Empire.
She said that however this is fine and the most amazing of principles that the human can imagine and it is a doltish appearing to live in misfortune, suspecting that heaven is on the other shore, or that your neighbour's home is perfectly lit over yours.No such thing. Just observe what Napoleon imparted before an Alps that crippled his outfitted force for more walking. There should no more be the Alps.... The message is that the Alps will move however not Napoleon ......Many will think it great by all seasons, though some may think that The mountain might have been better in a previous mode. These are all occasions that make us remember Sir Roger de Cavalry-much can be said on the two sides. Dear companion, as you develop more seasoned you lose your pet feelings and begin saying more and all the more much can be said on the two sides. Our lives might be not quite the same as the wide open spaces of Addison and Steele. In any case, see life is the same. Here I am stranded on the shore in an altogether physical edge and there is another side of the world a school young lady, missing her last transport and stressed over her dad's insults. Or, then again once more, the moderately aged man with a family to help to lose his occupation instantly and without huge adjust in the bank, stranded, stressed, provoked, judged. furthermore, cataclysms, violent winds, spring of gushing lava eruptions,and disorder seriousness, mental anguish, or as I found in the A. Healing facility while taking my better half to the specialist seeing that most excellent young lady getting down from the auto with death like pallor all over and the entire family that go with shrouded in the gloomiest of articulation. You question all of a sudden, is there worse place to live, and the specialist after strong hours of your holding up in the hall close to the operation ward where your dear one is conceded, night-time of holding up that sounds like tears declaring that the case is clear or the operation is fruitful. You are immensely thankful...So focusing on the current business, my mother is not willing to surrender her life for any such evaluations, not even the loss of her cherished one. Maybe these years will be the most key years for the span of her life if no one anyway she could see from different edges. I have known a man who used to keep delightful remarkable statues of female and male structures in all their wonderful ligaments and muscles, similar to the David of Michelangelo in his toilet [which itself resembled a living room]. I asked him in an awesome degree a private minute, I got with him in a cafe in Venice, after we had a euphoric excursion to San Marco. That was over a decent wine bottle, his Naval sidekick appeared and we both had the fortune to share. Sir, what is the veritable reason behind your keeping such rich expressive statues in a place one wouldn't set out trusting any longer? – I inquired. After two or three gatherings in soul, he tended to that he didn't require any minute in life to sneak past without inside essentialness and brain-boggling artful culmination in such a place will take away the expectedness of his activities. What a long drawn concern, I thought. I additionally thought if I shared his vision to some of my partners in the school, still's identity living, they will criticise such an unpleasant judgment or utilization of time-I in like way thought likewise how the sire is sitting inactive around parks and transport stations, as a not as much as trustworthy run with a camera of his old youth, and everywhere on his shirt tucked absentmindedly around his paunch like Ruskin viewed in old age , with that sort of facial hair, everywhere on his superb umbrella spread in twirling days notwithstanding when the reduce mists are drawing nearer in the sky and rain is no place close.. At long last, rather than considering his perspectives with any credibility it merits, I named it as a thought of an old man who needs something to stick to in life and show others who he thought of as lesser brains that he is following some voyage of value..I know many old individuals are difficult to change. They normally do not take new routes, thinking that they have arrived at that..... They are generally the descendants of their slants and their bodies are safe as their personalities are at present in a place of no new routes........Great writers write as if it were the last paragraph of their life. I am no great writer. After this paragraph, I must withdraw somewhere for a moment or many moments in order to recover from the foolishness of my last paragraphs...For me, in the absence of a noble action, inaction is a virtue.
. The entire day, I was lying on the shore in a foggy point of view, with a tremendous lethargy that affected my body and brain. Out of the blue, I saw scales around specific parts of my body that was delightful to see yet made me genuinely bothered. There was a scale like a thing added to my body, may be a result of long days of living close saline arrangement water or in light of some other reason. The captivating thing was that the scale was confining as time progressed, however continuously yet without question enough around my body and as I lay there prostrate on the ocean shore with sand and little shake on my body, I had just a shady considered my astounding nearness.... On such a minute my musings moved to my concise nonattendance from the world of conventional faculties and many individuals had contended with me the likelihood of another reality that is not of this world, some of my acquaintances are impassioned backers of the truth of the dreams[I don't know about this part] or the truth between the fantasies, our present state and so on and in the event that it is conceivable to communicate to individuals in far separation without words, through considerations.. Truth be told I am not keen on these huge issues, for me a stroll in the avenues and laments is sufficient testimony that I am living. Yet, my marvellous state took me to a royal residence and in the fantasy I got an extraordinary look into specific esteems that I may have conceivably disregarded or given less significance in my life.I was told by a teacher whom he called himself Ignatius, who had some information, nay awesome learning of human mind. The most interesting piece of the story is that he looked like my companion's educator in another division who was a speaker and whom we both went to see.[this companion's sister gave me think about notes for my last year examination in post graduation. Them friend's teacher had a little girl who was slightly wayward with whom I had a brief crash in youth, one being a greater wayward and a frequenter of taverns. And once we had a travel together and we went from inn to inn and at the hotel, I am looking for a book and I saw only a Scriptural Text which was probably a donation from the Hotel management or a reverend customer.I took her portmanteau and her sacks loaded with clothes of various tints. At the point when the undertaking was going on, she would delay at stations to converse with obscure names, that is names not known to me for she was a secretary to some writers of repute and would write down their first drafts in a legibly... intelligible and neat way, that could be well read........ Regardless, it was an affirmed reality that I exist. This was more pleasurable than any bits of knowledge in life, the very information that one is living and is sufficiently fit to annihilate all... Still, I comprehend how to creep further and finish a guaranteed put where I could get some drink and sustenance, for I was feeling uncommonly restless now, detests of the past. Till night, I lay there and I saw before my eyes the scales withering far from the body and the body enduring its own particular exceptional trademark control. At a short partition, I saw some pogonias moving any way they went more inaccessible. By night, when the sun would set, I wound up being depleted to the point that I nodded off. When I opened my eyes, it was day and through the sharp light emanations, the sun was falling on my body. It was hot yet I esteemed the hotness of the columns. I saw the sun as a dependable accomplice in my pitiful hours and was thankful for not empowering me to sit unbothered on that colossal shore with no mortal being in my sight. .All of a sudden I turned up obviously aware of the lower portion of my body and was charmed by the sight that my in vogue yellow clothing was still there. I could skip now and run now. Be that as it may, the more I comprehend how to battle up the more prostrate the body progressed toward getting the opportunity to be. I was feeling dry and greedy and envisioned that some bread or drink would be an upbeat blessing. Where may I have the ability to discover it now? I understand how to creep a hundred yards and after that after rest a hundred yards consistently and after that, after an OK separated a few hundred yards more. This unquestionably is a brilliant advance. I was feeling more human myself and the scales were very much requested tumbling off.. .....Directly at a parcel, showed up a human shape and I was astoundingly stunned to see that most brilliant sight. By then the figure bent up distinguishably unmoving and foreseeing that speed surged should my side I made a critical disarray and the expectation that was strolling smart surprisingly ceased and looked me and began dashing to my side. ............This was a stunning figure of good stature fit for a timberland man and having particularly framed muscles and ligaments. As he drew nearer close me I remembered that him as a young individual likely in his twenties and a radiance and magnanimity was clear in his eyes. I felt particularly moderated to see some individual in my species and waved my hands as species attestation. I have comprehended that species certification implies that different creatures and as a man, I felt not undermined inside observing another what's more he was conversing with me in a vernacular uncommonly all around mannered and thoughtful. What a fortune for me. I made some more signs and incited in my vernacular things to such an extent that I am stranded. The other man saw my signs and most respectable, gave me his correct hand with the target that I could put myself in two legs. In any case, it was in every practical sense incredible. The other man by then changed his development with the true objective that he was starting at now going to pass on me. In any case, I didn't expect that to happen on the off chance that I could reject that. I made an endeavour to drag myself, however, found that it was not inside my present ability to do that development. I required more noteworthy vitality. Moreover, I believed I was not hearing every last one of the sounds in the universe and expected that something had happened to my auditory track. The other man was not in a position to hold up further to test my quality and lifted me up on his shoulder and passed on me along the sand in giant walks that uncovered his quality and energetic centrality. All of a sudden a swoon seized me and when I opened my eyes, I was laid on a bed in a house that was secured with palm trees......
From my couch, I could see the sprouts of spring, chrysanthemum and lilies and round rocks similar to neolithic heritage, which I could have seen in a museum. There was a small statue in the corner of the garden, and in the evening one of the members of the family will lit a light from the brass lighter and had a light so bright.. the custom was followed by the members thought there were some rules regarding the one who lights it and the time etc..There was a metallic stove which he could spot towards the end of the closet like room, some parts corroded by too much use of due to oldness..Pictures of rock bush quail and meanwhile a hissing of a creature. Portrait of family members in different halls people from the lineage some with big moustaches and sword in the scabbard eyes bright or slightly red, as if they are ready to take the armour anytime .the garden had a lot of chickweed flowers and shrubs of cardosanto and rosary pea... , and by the side of a picture gallery..in down from on the wall .and ended in a small room, with the most famous member in the family tree , together with many royal gifts he received from the then ruler......There we were rumbles on roadsides. he had already it was only a plain back in the frame .. but it was a picture after all, as now appeared, the bust portrait of a man about fifty.. his head was sunk so low upon, his breast that his eyes were scarcely visible and this counterfeit of the picture that was displayed in the hall. It took for me many days, many years to come to terms with the stride and the distance was long.. as there were no better ships in that season I had to wait near a pontoon, it was an estuary, and I had to wait for many long days at the port. The smell of brine and charcoal was filing the atmosphere and a few men from the naval base came and went, there was a way house from where, Gaga siempragon came wagging his long aristocratic cap and the sea was sounding much, a pool smell and I was rather humiliated than shocked at the bizarre turn of events. Some more clouds appeared in the sky.a honkey phonk type hall full of lizards and men who made many oaths without fulfilling any in the hope that one day they would be able to do so or even amend for the ways of the past...The weight of the heavy arms was rather a nuisance to him, once he took pride, now not very much so, and again from the forehead sweat came down drop by drop because I had much tension to bear, and the winds that day was not supportive. The schooner's captain told me to enter his cabin and if I knew rummy, we can play.. I had never known the game, but however knew a game I once played in the quarters club where you call some number and there are trump cards and you have a team. You reveal the trump card not so soon, a game that I never obeyed, because, you have to show your trump card a bit later so that life is a thrilling game.. If only life is a game. far from it, a serious affair of hopes, passions and vicissitudes.Now he raised his head with full beard and the aquiline nose protruding in the fashion of a long suburban summer and very much vehement in the outbursts in the main tray and ..Caxton town stood at the edge of BUILDING, MUCH SIMILAR TO A PLACE CALLED gANGINENI WHICH I SAW IN THE TRAIN IN ONE OF MY TRAVELS.....There was some similarity between Caxton Town and the major prosaic building enfold means that we are used to..Caxton Town with its ..encompassing buildings.. It was a major mining town in the southern part not the exterior but quite towards the middle of the country, and it had a beautiful lake, the pie,the people were known to each other since it was a rather small place and people mostly knew the families of the people and so in the restaurant and pubs and halls and clubs and, hospitals, and schools and boarding places... that formed a downward groove to his bright eyes was good to view.. full beard was pressed in at the chin and spread out farther down .......people coming from the theatre walked along the pavement They were humming but this time in a mil melancholic or cholic tone, that went above the ceilings and the rising towers and huge curtains of worship houses, till then a pandemonium, out of season... A season of much forgetfulness than memories.Persiani in all his splendour rose above the voices of a crowd that was accustomed to the storming and multilingual. Caxton Town was a multilingual threshold that stood by the Arabian sea in one of the conclaves of the west. The town was not primarily a port of esteem, but 2 hours journey, you see a sea with turbid waters and arresting coast. My entrance was rather dramatical than dull. I am introduced as a man of principle and a good acquaintance with Alighieri's the noted scholar and doctor involved in various research activities to improve the condition of the general public. And when he came here, he visited my house in the south and told me it would be great privilege and a matter of good education to live and work in that town and told me that I can come with family, and he is unable to take his family with him as his wife is involved in some other serious project in Europe. For me, the invitation was quite thrilling and he surmises the possibilities of work but soon came to a muddle as he often used to do and moreover his intentions are clear and he will make use of the notes of a trip for a coming book. For me things were not quite easy, as my wife wanted my children an English education of the Macaulay style, or rather a public school sort, and my wife after several searches told that there are not great ones in that place, which was essentially a suburb just looking into prominence because of the coal mines nearby. Finally after several days of research and talk to a learned cousin in another city, she came to that discovery, a marvellous discovery that there is at one such school in the Caxton town, run by a dowager princess, who was into art and medieval cultural studies. Alighieri told me that he would do the further part of my children's education, and he would definitely talk to the dowager on these concerns, leave it to me, he said. I have some good friends over there..Good friends are always a boon, though sometimes difficult to come across. In fact, one such friend will take away your additional burdens in this life, and lucky is the man who has that treasure.
My meeting with the Major was a surprising event. I was starting from the walkway when a muscular man hit me unwittingly and he was obviously beginning from the stage on the west entry. The Atmosphere was of sluggish spots and a field and two or three cows for family purposes. There were a packaging works and mutton back off and a man in thick corduroy mackintosh and a top that was hanging inaccurately came. He hit me inadvertently and out of the blue apologized and chicks staying in erect camomiles or increasingly the walkway a few players heading off to a group that was getting ready for the finals of a volleyball organize. He said too terrible. The next day I saw him at the Lions Club when the wedding administration and social affair of the young lady of my sidekick. The young lady once played Sudoku and card games with my life partner and they used to take an interest in some sort of verbal repartees, for she was into the calling of an open speaker. I had a few volumes to that subject from Student partner book back off which was asserted by my buddy who happened to be a typical attorney's kid. His sister was my lesser at school and bore the name female ruler, from an amazing experience. She had brilliant eyes and a sharp tongue.[dawn breaks behind your eyes/Dylan Thomas]. Despite the fact that I had beat each one of my seniors in the yearly explanation competition, I couldn't beat this ruler namesake who was my buddy's young sister. This buddy was a craftsman, whose acclaimed tune was an awesome woman of yore, I come searching for you, a semi customary tune is sung by most of the overall public around the neighbourhood my father's specialist when he had enormous road wanders. ..also, the tune was sung by all in our town, and in the evening at a couple of limits, this tune will hit our ear through mouthpieces from afar separation... Goodness, that is it, I met the said man at the marriage social affair of my partner's recently young lady, and on account of the very reality that he hit me inadvertently out in the open. He uncovered to me sorry again and introduced himself as a Major from the Forces surrendered and putting his vitality in his sister's home, who is a dowager...When he was walking around the footbridge, he brought his hand up in a startling action, communicating an eery feeling slithered which I could see exactly eventually later. The tyke had gone for a voyage in the Persian bay and dinars would come fast, he inferred, hoping against hope, lovely advance in life...In the lodgings, he had a course book of Agatha Christie, and it is an endorsed message in the University, and he read Genet and Sartre among others. One book was stolen from a residential area library by a companion and was flowed among enthusiastic readers, except that companion who stole it who jabbered about the book and the writer lastly landed a senior position in a bank. He knew the book's titles and names of waterways and hanging bridges and pen names of writers and the area of states with their capitals, superior to anything all of us. Finally, he was not traceable. A pleasant companion with a decent grin and consequently some healthy memories associated with it. An imperative course of action of work in that season and sweat was flooding from his face walking around the mid-year with buddies under a hot sun , however there is much grass and paddy fields and streams enough to take away all sweat , and Grayman kin will start from the railroad clerk division and he will have much fun time with his companion and darling and would charitably maintain a strategic distance from himself from all taboos and end the sessions with a private petition. Then the phone will ring intermittently and he won't go to every one of the calls yet the ones he needed most and would withdraw soon in the day and go for a walk each evening..... His give in like room[ comprised of every single fundamental thing as a profession and the rooftop was just two feet over your head in the event that you are resting. In ends of the week he will visit his folks in his hometown where he had a major house with numerous restrooms and an open kitchen and a patio and an invalid sibling in a wheel seat, remnant of an engine mischance when he partook in a rally].... the cave-like room where he was intimate with his wife and she felt the Zambezi in blustery season..... also, respected his companions in the external room and his significant other served espresso and biscuits or cognac and peanuts.....what's more, that time rail guard will go from the control room of the little station where he was the senior reviewer, and he would, in the end, show the green flag for the train.
It was evening when I went to that place which was swarmed by then. The sun's setting shafts were on the western side of the sky and the bistro where I met her devastated at that point. An outstanding social worker had passed that morning and the country rustic zones were in lamenting season. He was from every angle a respectable and kind-hearted figure who did much work to the place. Notwithstanding, I recollect in the midst of the past summer they had raised a model of him at crossroads. But regardless he had done much work to the gathering to which he stood and a couple of associations and centres are in his name. I held up at the shop that was right around a railroad station. There was a resting place that was frequented by operators, professionals and troubadours and artists and entertainers and vocalists, customary and furthermore western. The shop was that of N.n., who was a partner of creators and specialists. There were several studios and theatres in the zone Mr N.N. replicated from the books he read in decipherable penmanship. One such title I read, Tambora Shouts which was about a town's story to adaptability from outside regulate and subjugation. The major issue with the town being alluded to was that it was under the grip of money credit authorities who may manhandle weak people in the general population eye and ladies particularly. Every so often the people from the family committed suicide not willing to pay the high financing expenses of the money moneylenders. They clearly helped them in require yet they charged high interests which broke the establishment of the setup. When I was staying for...sheltered from storms and hurricanes the street circumscribing a book back off and a haven, a youthful individual pushed toward me trusting that I was an area and requested my address from a house where an open meeting was to happen around evening time that day. .........the flower boxes.......From another end of the street came two youths quarrelling and the overall public on flip side told that there was a fight in the ban and luckily all made tracks in an opposite direction from a disaster and there was satisfaction on their faces. .......face, staid and placid and bore marks of heavy rain and sun. music staves music staves...The stay in the Caxton Town was generally a cheery time in my life. The woman's two adolescents were my words and My carriage reliably took me to the manor like a house that had a noteworthy garden of shrubberies, bougainvillaea and relative tongues. At the other side of the garden was a swamp arrive with a bush on another side where the widow's better half Major Kanten would sit in an easy chair and read the morning papers. On another side there was a woodhouse occasionally used however in summer and in the midst of various seasons was a home of crabs, woodlice and slugs and snails. Once a vast gathering of bumble bees caught the morning examination of the major and he moved his territory to another bit of the garden thy so that had a tent of shrubberies and bougainvillaea. He had two Doberman, dull and furious ones who were very much arranged for the major yet not to others. I was not generally quiet with puppies and cats yet rather the Doberman was to some degree all around arranged to me and conveyed his veneration by his tongue and back piece. My words were in their young people, both insightful and imaginative thus as to make a not too bad early presentation. I made in their diary a reference tool in various years back: 'Be all that you can be today so you are evermore tomorrow. I didn't think about the wellspring of that quote, anyway I accepted it starting from a New Thought writer and revealed to them so. The children were phenomenally awed and the young woman in the wake of taking in this broadened her library hours in articulations and in addition, started helping her mother in the kitchen too. Later she was to form a volume on the culinary speciality of Malabar a part of India in the south side in the shoreline of the Arabian sea. The child had athletic bents and he would take occasional leave from academic examinations and leave for educating schools at various parts of the country… .....Now and again we would exhibit our classes on the Tagore style, sitting under colossal branches of trees however with slight tepidness of the pellets of the feathered creature. The Major expected to develop the garden further and he planted mango trees that gave beautiful shade in summer.
Work took me for a couple of years to another area of the country and I put some partition among myself and the Caxton Town. For different years I was soaked in complex attempts. In one of the days while coming to Bombay and unfit to get a fitting cabin with the whole I had, at last at the crossing point. By then I went to Victoria Terminus and half down and out tried to locate a place for me in the open. There, I ended up in a huge horde of voyagers who were snoozing in the front area. I was reduced and discovered a place to spread a bed sheet in that get-together. In the midst of the night, I had an inclination that some individual called me and an unforgiving .............The next day in the train[I had authoritatively saved the ticket] I saw a social occasion of troubadours and in that get-together, I saw a to a great degree common face...The young woman of the Caxton Town. The young woman recalled that me and let me know in reply to my request that she was in an acting troupe that went to various towns into different zones of the country... At times, even outside the country. The proprietor of the social occasion was a dramatist of fame. Regardless of the way that I didn't see him before long, I guessed that the young woman's accessible partner may improve her preparation. ............This was possibly the last time I saw her in India. Since I had almost no commitment at home and after my father's demise, tried to transplant myself to various ventures. .........She said that however adore is fine and the most astounding of gauges that the humankind can imagine it is a doltish appearing to live in misfortune, suspecting that heaven is on the other shore, or that your neighbour's home is perfect lit over yours or your pal is made more fortunate in this life. No such thing. Simply envision what Napoleon Bonaparte conveyed before an Alps that incapacitated his outfitted force for moreover walking... There should no more be the Alps. The message is that the Alps will move however not Napoleon. That is history. So focusing on the current business, my mother is not willing to surrender her life for any such appraisals, not even the loss of her adored one. Maybe these years will be the most fundamental years for the span of her life if no one anyway she could see from different edges. I have known a man who used to keep delightful remarkable statues of female and male structures in all their sublime ligaments and muscles, similar to the David of Michelangelo in his toilet[which itself resembled a living room]. I asked him in a to an awesome degree private minute, I got with him in a bar in Venice, after we had a euphoric adventure to San Marco. That was over a decent wine bottle, his Naval sidekick appeared and we both had the fortune to share... Sir, what is the veritable reason behind your keeping such rich expressive expressions in a place one wouldn't set out trusting any longer? – I inquired. After a few gatherings in soul, he tended to that he didn't require any minute in life to sneak past without inward essentialness and psyche boggling perfect work of art in such a place will take away the expectedness of his activities. What a long drawn concern, I thought. I likewise thought if I shared his vision to some of my partners in the school, still's identity living, they will be mocking such a horrible judgment or utilization of time-I in like way thought furthermore how the sire is sitting latent around parks and transport stations, as a not as much as tried and true run with a camera of his old youth, and everywhere on his shirt tucked absentmindedly around his gut with his Ruskin facial hair, everywhere on his brilliant umbrella spread in whirling days in spite of when the decrease mists are drawing nearer in the sky and rain is no place close.. At long last, rather than considering his perspectives with any realness it merits, I named it as a thought of an old man who needs something to stick to in life and show others of lesser brains that he is following some voyage of value...I know, old individuals are difficult to change... They are generally the family of their slants and their bodies are safe as their personalities are at present in a place of no new learning.....
In the prepare which took me toward the southern side of the nation, I had a most fascinating occasion., This was my experience with the young lady in the Caxton Town. To start with I didn't perceive her however later after she acquainted herself with me I figured out how to perceive her. She had changed appallingly, I thought first however after close perception, I made out it was to improve things. She had grown up, much to the stature of a lady, yet with an elegance that is remarkable. She revealed to me that she was with an elderly artiste. .......When we were participating in these straightforward talks, a man rose up out of the opposite side of the compartment. It was an anteroom near the shower houses and was kept flawless because of the desire of vacationers or guests of notoriety. The vendors were going once in a while, much startlingly from behind and from the sides, and it was a day they expected much business. The day was coming hot and we were nearing a town by drift and the climate was sultry and moist. Other than offering some palatable and The man who rose looked curiously and the young lady answered that I was her initially tutor. It was in actuality not an entire truth since I had met her exclusive a couple of events and other than offering a couple of samosas, I had not done anything worth recollecting in life. Be that as it may, the man grins for a moment, however, appeared to see the story from another point. which was clear from the movement of his concentration and the change of appearances in his face that resembled a light and shadow play. Following a few seconds of hush, he told the young lady that she had some pressing work to go to. I had an ambiguous feeling amid those minutes the man held incredible specialist over the young lady and it was very indistinct for me and maybe unreasonable. Yet, such scenes are regular here. A few people made these sorts of young ladies have confidence in a progressive system that did not really exist, but rather just a story for a few people to get high ground over others. I felt sorry for with the young lady in my inward contemplations, however, was vulnerable to tell anything nor was in a position to converse with her more. The moderately aged man took her away by an unobtrusive compel to which she additionally appeared to concur.
.............................................................................................................................
While going back home she had to pass a field where vultures and barn owls and red squirrels made their sojourn. But she was not afraid, I think. There were bulls and cows with strong coats of a lion wandering aimlessly in the plain. Alighieri knew Papiamento as it was his mother tongue but spoke to me English. At sudden outbursts of feelings, he used Papiamento, which nobody in the neighbourhood understood. I enrolled the girl in the list of my private students and she picked up the alphabets and even some words soon.
My stay in Caxton Town gone on for a long time. The agreement was not restored because of well-being reasons. I had a terrible thyroid thus parcel of state of mind changes and it influenced my work in the most recent year. Alighiers was my sole sidekick back then. I saw the little young lady a few times in that remain. At the point when my carriage slid toward the lower edge of the duct, she would accompany her mama to welcome me and in some cases, I would give her little exhibits just to see her comforting grin. Her mama in the meantime got a job in a construction company. When she was confessed to class, I marked at the segment of reference with my telephone number and assignment as the matron's guide. She joined a portion of the classes and grabbed the letters in order quickly.......
A walk around Caxton Town another spring morning, close to the middle purpose of parakeets and a canine and a bitch in cheerfulness came. the pooch did not bark as puppies in these zones and by and large extraordinary districts do, yapping is either a sign of affirmation or exacerbation. I remember at whatever point I went for a walk around the morning in a particular zone, wearing a full sweater, the canine barked.......Alighieri was with me in a free coat and when we were walking a parakeet twittered, by then a sparrow, by then a crow, with a large crowing eye focused missing mindedly yet in full mindfulness and a short time later a mina and the other crane that started from another place........These feathered animals, all things considered, began from the wood that was a few minutes walk around the street of moderations and there were various sweet shops by the side and each one of the all-inclusive community did not come to buy the pastries, since some came solely with the true objective of seeing heavenly individuals who stayed in houses at the best and inclinations of the mountains close-by. There was a blue slant and in the season, explorers will walk around the following edge of this mountain, pioneers young and old, male and female and on the grade of the plant, there was a conduit and two or three large huts where people involved with honest to goodness thought remained. There is by and by this street, where there were bistros and sweet shops on both the avenues and a couple of sacred individuals went to these cafés to have tea and perhaps biscuits. The tea was made in a one of a kind method of hand by ace tea makers and it was uncommonly delicious and people in all periods of the day thronged these shops. They would sit unobtrusively in thought valuing each taste or some will be talking on associations or family or school or work or a couple of subjects of religious substance. Administrative issues rarely came up for talk for the all-inclusive community who went to these regions were not generally politically inclined, or if they are, taking a conventional rest from such stresses that caused them cerebral agony in their common days of activity. Men were doused in numerous exhibits of exemplary nature and some did not attempt to please others but instead passed on their activities without other's notice. Alighieri fittingly underlined the essentialness of secret giving that will accomplish the honest to goodness reason. A part of the structures close-by contained people and mystics who were into lives of thought and various penances. When we were walking, a lady who was proceeding the road smiled at Alighieri and he told that he knew the lady extremely many years ago. She had a strong focus and an appearance splendid and clear and her eyes shone significantly. Alighieri unveiled to me that she was known to him at Saarbrucken when he went for a Cultural meet and she was most great by then, as of late married to another expert. The couple were seen at various astonishing camps and shows with Alighieri and they two cooperated. She later went up against in her lives various tragedies from which she couldn't however recover. Her little girl, only three or four years old surrendered to the ailment, and later her loved one in like manner yielded to that savage sickness following 10 years. At present, she has only a son and after these tragedies, she ended up being totally immersed in a sweep for the centrality of life and went from religious retreats to religious retreats. When she saw the acclaimed writer in Paris who was into another hunt of that sort. She changed her in vogue styles of dressing and relied upon essential tunics. After these tragedies, she came to Calcutta and later to Caxton Town for the advance restoration of the request. Alighieri had after various years got a meeting with her and she told that she was significantly into the interest however in spite of all that she has questions.Some fundamental inquiries. Alighieri saw her on different events in the Caxton Town and anyway they don't speak with each other as they had done regularly years ago, still keeps up that warm and inviting relationship that was somewhat moderated by time and later went to Cafe de Flore And I walked by the Seine seeing Notre Dame. My wife was suffering from the calcalian heel and could not walk much, she is an athlete in old days and now into sedentary jobs and inconvenient travel.She this time told me categorically that she had had enough time with me and my family and wanted a rest.And I remembered this Michael Procope Couteau, a wit and bon vivant, a librarian and a doctor associated with the Faculty of Medicine. I dined at Cafe Procope where Voltaire and Danton and Balzac.. nay Napoleon, Hugo, and Anatole France also dined, getting a shortcut to greatness not doing any of the great deeds the sires had done.Cafe Procope was refurbished in eighteenth-century style with its Pompeian red walls and crystal chandeliers.. tinky piano, oval portraits and the waiters in quasi-revolutionary uniforms. This was my third trip to Paris, first as a student at Sorbonne with a Heidegger scholar but dropping out due to chest ailments that took me far to a village by the sea in India. Later with a lady with whom I had an affair that lasted many years spending sleepless nights in Ritz reading Hemingway and Camus and I thought sun as she Zambesi in blistering season. But we parted... My third trip did not materialize as I wanted to take my mama to Paris for better treatment when she was detected with Cancer of the uterus, but as some problems intervened I could not do it and had to get the radiotherapy done at a hospital near home. she was cured of cancer but died of asthma after some years, a disease that has been following her for eighteen years.Alighieri knew somebody in Paris, a friend of Katherine Mansfield when she stayed here with Middleton Murry for some spiritual teaching. ...Alighieri's friend was into esoteric mysticism but after several phone enquiries, Alighieri told me that she had left the city with family some time ago. She was into perfume business in some other city in Europe... This is my third trip to Paris. In spite of all the interesting scenes and and avenues and cafes and enjoyable things , I was not presently happy, for my wife has ultimately told me that she had had enough of me, raising family and doting to a lazy husband and not caring her deepest thoughts because I have presently turned more of an impediment than a comrade in her life. Her life henceforth will be devoted to some higher things that has something to do with immortality. I was curious but not completely grasping her chain of thoughts that were beyond my scope and also two mosquitoes were competing to hit me from either of the hands and also basically at no point in my life I could not forget my body completely enough to devote my mind to a higher thought..... She said that she is withdrawing to a monastery in Greece, where she will soon be joined by a lady who is of her mettle. Both plan to live the rest of their lives in cloister not caring for those the transitory world's whims that will end in any moment. However, she said, I can meet her at times, not of course frequently not as husband but as a friend...
......And later, I went to Rue de Flore and strolled by the Seine and then the purples of wisterias close Notre Dame. My wife was experiencing calcalian heel and couldn't walk much, she is an athlete in youth and now into sedentary occupations and badly designed travel.She this time let me know categorically that she had enough time with me and my family and she wanted to rest. Alighieri and I went to Cafe Procope at 6th arrondissement opened in 1686 by the Sicilian chef Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli...In this connection apart from its founder another man Michael Procope Couteau, a wit and bon vivant, a librarian and a doctor is worthy of remembrance. We dined at the Cafe where Voltaire and Danton and Balzac.. nay Napoleon, Hugo, Gambetta and Anatole France also ate, getting an alternate way to enormity not doing any of the considerable deeds those sires had done. The Cafe was refurbished in eighteenth-century style with its Pompeian red dividers and gem crystal fixtures and the waiters in quasi-revolutionary outfits. This was my third trip to Paris, first as an understudy at Sorbonne with a Heidegger researcher yet dropping out because of chest infirmities that took me far to a town near the sea in India. Later with a woman with whom I had relations that endured numerous years spending sleepless nights in Ritz perusing Hemingway and Camus and I imagined myself sun as she Zambezi in blustery season. She as the rock and I as the endemic worm. She was Panthera pardus. I was Pelecanus onocrotalus. Sometimes we exchanged roles.But we separated. . My third trip did not emerge as I needed to take my mother to Paris for better treatment when she was recognized with Cancer of the uterus, yet as a few issues interceded I couldn't do it and needed to complete the radiotherapy at a healing centre close home. She was cured of growth yet died of asthma after a few years, an ailment that has been following her for eighteen years...Alighieri knew some individual in Paris whose mother was a companion of Katherine Mansfield when she remained here for some spiritual quests ...Alighieri' companion was into esoteric mysticism, however, after a few telephone enquiries, Alighieri revealed to me that she had left the city with family some time back. It seems she was into perfume business in some other city in Europe... This is my third trip to Paris. Notwithstanding all the fascinating scenes and rues and avenues and charming things, I was not by and by upbeat, for my wife has at last revealed to me that she had enough of me, raising family and hovering to a lethargic spouse and not minding her deep most considerations, since, I have turned a greater amount of a hindrance than a companion in her life. Her life, from this time forward, will be committed for some higher things that has something to do with immortality. I was interested however not totally getting a handle on her chain of considerations that were past my scope and furthermore two mosquitoes were contending to hit me from both of the hands and also essentially at no time in my life I couldn't overlook my body totally enough to dedicate my brain to a higher thought..... She said that she is pulling back to a monastery in Greece, where she will soon be joined by a woman who is of her grit. Both plan to spend the rest of their lives in cloister to experience whatever is left of their lives in the group not bothering the world's transitory woes that will end in any minute. However, she stated, I can meet her at times of course, not as husband, but rather as a friend......
Wife left yesterday. The motel I stayed had some issue with water supply and that would hold up a few hours in the morning to finish my shower. Alighieri had the habit of rising up at five in the morning and after the preliminary washroom time, he would appreciate an hour's time of contemplation. This be interrupted only if there is an accident. Despite the fact that I didn't do this, I was mindful as to his minimum change of temperaments, not at all like me who might get overwhelmed so soon. .what's more had an unwholly measure of dubious thoughts. Alighieri included a couple of private ventures into this Paris trip. Though he shared my private hardships to a companion's limit, he was into genuine musings .....It was a blustery morning. Just yesterday he came from Flaubert statue and discussed that moustache. ... A stroll down the Avenue Flaubert and the Flaubert gallery at Hotel Dieu are in his agenda. Yes, to see the green eyed bird. A far likely calendar for winter days in Paris, as I may opt for any other route if sinews are fine enough. Versailles and the frosty winter of Paris sipping a drink in a Cafe. Alighieri disclosed to me that Normandy has allured him. Good for him. But these Parisian days are testing me from another view. So that I may not write my innermost thoughts in an envelope and seal the content for fifteen years.. No, that is Flaubert's way, not mine. Alighieri should pardon me in this regard. I am troubled at heart and nor am I 'yearning to tell myself about myself'.......Winter was setting in Paris, a most magnificent time with little showers. Alighieri said that on third Thursday, November the Beaujolais Nouveau, the six-week wine, the embodiment of Burgundy..grapevine cuttings-sarments .. besides, the gigantic barrels opened. This was his nature to pacify me. We had wine. Alighieri had saucisson snacks and me tartiflette, a savour in misfortune..... Man, if he needs to live further has to alter everything to the current state, for different things will go and vanish, not the present minute.... This was the key that I learnt from my mentor.... Alighieri came back with a new pair of boots and I was in search of warm gloves. We must celebrate winter, he said, as we must celebrate every other thought ..Christmas lights, view of Versailles, snow falling, gardens with shimmering layers. We must celebrate absence and presence. Parisian snow, lighted avenues and vin chaud. Yours, here to enjoy the heart's content...Chestnuts, cooked on coals at street corners. And a stroll around the Champs-Elysees to trace the fir trees that will stretch you into more boulevards of depleting thoughts to make room for the consoling ones. Tomorrow or another day he will go for ice skating and the rent stakes are low..But I may not go, instead sip the cremes, hour after hour and brood a thoughtfully, looking the twirling city through windows... A final farewell. Farewell to absences so that the mirror is clear....
I have written an imaginary alternative or a second version to the above episode. Since both are stories, you may take it in that strain.
[When I talked about the yester night's incident o Alighieri, he reprimanded me in a friendly tone and an occasional look into the hollow of my eyes, told me that the story would have been different if I had another attitude.....]
......From the balustrade my room met the feasting halls that was dimly lit, a large portion of the hours of the day and the entrance had works of art of taste and some semi-human shapes, statues with well formed arms and......at the edge a hollow from where a nave was visible and a little group of late worshippers moved out into the night streets... .. Alighieri called in his handsome husky voice from someplace afar and announced that he would reach any time....at the open passage, a man with bristly head and a lady fashionable at most recent trends entered and the man hesitated at the corner and both later joined.. He swung his shoulders the left one marginally twisted than the right, maybe not affected but his way or habit or a certain minor handicap. I entered from the main door and had a nearby peep of the motley crowd inside, individuals of all assortments , the most part in buoyant youth in incessant chatter..... a of wide girth with a male figure of gigantic form and limbs slightly shocking from my small town benchmarks.....the man obviously a film running in his mental screen had sudden outbursts that showed up like lightning on his face......behind him a young lady in Victoria's Secret style entered all thoroughly confident about their masculinity and girlhood.... Everything was perfect and articulate in a show that was going to take place, this evening..the nave was visible from the windows..- and those structures of grey Gothic stones that fitted well in the big canvas of a genius artist with its close bunch of Windsor greens and forest looks, a few separations away from the window ...... A picture shone on the cobalt walls, a class painting of wild asses some old explorers may find in their trips, creatures of fine Tibetan breed..... an odour reminiscent of permeable vinegar in the air, various alcohols and smoke... Here one, all of a sudden aches for a new breeze from the open planes, under a hot and familiar sun with my father by my side.. in any case, that was not my street this late evening...This evening of misadventure in Paris. ..I trusted, he would reprove me into the correct way and I will obey him in reverence as I was aware, his grand intentions are sufficient enough to make up for some of those stupid actions. For me, his living nearness is greater than Nobel Prize... ...I changed the motel a few days ago in light of the fact that I favoured a room with a view into the city's life and furthermore to get away from the water issues which denied me of my morning and night showers .. now moved to a better one, as a senior kinfolk had put an amount into the account seeing my debased state. ....... ...There are other men on earth whose wives go from them and there are other ladies on earth whose husbands depart from them.. Mine is not the first incident of that sort since Creation. ... When Mount Vesuvius erupted in A.D-79, the city of Herculaneum has washed away, but regardless of tragedies, a civilization grew up. If a civilization can grow from nothing so can I, a simple creature ...There were sounds coming from the inn's store of books as a pre-publication of a new author was taking place.It was a book of romantic substance and some entered the hall with the book showing on its cover a lady reclining on the man's biceps........ I picked the table at the west end, and the waiter clearly did not remember me ...it was an old rendezvous, where I would occasionally come with her and we both did not know how to dance, that every child here knew..... .. the roulette was on the other hallway ...... I got Alighieri's call that he has reached the Hotel, and I invited him to the dance floor.He didn't demonstrate stun, instead asked which floor it is and of coming to there without accidents. Finally, we met as two old buddies.... A woman scantily dressed comes near the table, here she pulls back to the following table after a minor qualm,. One advantage of seniority is that you are fairly deprived of jealousy and realize that in any field, there is someone superior to you, and that competition is not one of life's best virtues.... In any case, envy could not me my cardinal sin as I was ready to play Svidrigailov even in early stages though my partner did not intend it that way...Loss is at every door. You are gifted with the greatest gift ever at birth itself and that is life. The more one loses intentionally the deeper one goes. This straightforward oddity is the core of things...... At the farther end, a lone lady, not concerned with the action that was mounting in the anteroom, was opening a book and reading from it seriously, however, tasting the champagne-like drink from the container, the server in conspicuous familiarity may be a seasoned visitor....Music was becoming heavier and nearer..... Alighieri pulled back as time turned out to be late, some point close midnight into his room, and I found myself in the hall with people and shadows farther into the heart of the night.The Parisian night... Suddenly to my amazement , the young woman who was sitting at the farther end of the hall,as my eyes were labouring in lesser sobriety, closed her book, and rose from her chair and turned around, as if she had an earlier appointment and came towards my direction, now I see her visage which was altogether different from the other folks, and more closely I see her when she approaches, cleanly dressed and elegant in strides and a deep kind look in eyes, not bothering the masculine figures with huge biceps and coming to my small figure steadily and suddenly to my greatest amazement, kissed on my right cheek and called my first name. This ultimate night. My Parisian night. I am purged of sins, then further sinning.
And in one of the coming days....... I was sitting in a Parisian eatery at … … Boulevard Saint-Germain ... fully lit with fashionable chandeliers, mirrors and classic woodwork and the restaurant resembled a ship and waiters wore pirate caps. Alighieri my friend was discussing the nature of human caprices and I was likewise taking part in these discussions. This was because of the way that my wife had abandoned me temporarily for a stay in a monastery overlooking Thessaly plains, and as she stated, she needed time for contemplation. She needed to be more profound as she felt she was losing grip on life. ... I had some stress undergoing due to these facts and was further lost in reverie....But Alighieri was enjoying a Balzac translation as well as the food, garlic bread and croissants with cheese filling.. I had tabbouleh .... Since some of the cafes had reverberations to the writers we admired in youth we bought a few books by them, one such was "Sun also Rises'', and evoked memories of Hemingway readings in the university town... ...Now a couple came into the cafe, a most upbeat match, presumably in their initial phases of conjugal happiness and had seemingly much to partake. Every pleasant thing of the day, aspirations of family or maybe dreams of future..... She looked into my eyes with all sharpness and with sudden bursts of expression, caught my right hand and asked my bewilderment if I remembered her.. I answered in negative.. '‘You got me samosa at the Caxton town’'. Samosa is a famous Indian snack.The name Caxton Town sent a poignant daze into my soul... Yes, I abruptly thought of the wanderings around breathtaking pastures with my companion, Alighieri. And further confoundment, thinking about the little lady who had such an effect on my life in Caxton Town. I couldn't believe that the small girl who took samosa from me in the evening beside a banyan tree, could transform to such an extent. She said that she is a prominent author now and taking one of the books from her bag, extended it to me. It had a plain black cover and the name of the writer was definitely known to me in my current trek to a book celebration.......The critics were all adulating the speciality of the author and her sudden shifts of portrayal and the dynamic digressions of the Laurence Sterne style. The commentators agreed to the smooth and rich selection of words and the unique autopsy of mind…...Instantly I felt excited to see one of my old friends ascending to this regarded level and also recognizing me in an eatery in Paris. She acquainted her man with me and revealed to him that I was her first coach.That was too much to say.An exaggeration that testified to her kindness. This shocked me since I had seen famous people overlooking and even condemning their early mentors in life. One late occurrence was a well-known vocalist meeting his old mentor who arranged the foreign tours, meeting the latter after numerous years, voicing casually, ''Oh, we are meeting again'', and turning briskly to his more recent fans. He appeared to be more interested in the sale of cassettes, than honouring his first patron..These are the people who go wrong to the grave, though I wish them otherwise. They have failed to learn the real value of time... ...Went to Rue de Barres for some time past Chez Julien and then to the Wall at Montmartre ... the expression of love in more than 300 languages and the sight of the mounds of wisteria ........spending some time in funicular railway... Alighieri was to depart this afternoon as he has got a call from his family.He went to the lodgings to pack up luggage..I walked further in Rue du Faubourg Saint- Antoine tasting the oldest hues of Paris that joined place de la Bastille and Place de la Nation which was marked by a history of its own. It reminded of Bastille Storming, 1789, an event considered to be the beginning of French Revolution....This was a traditional neighbourhood, a working-class type from the twelfth century, a centre of trade and crafts... My euros were running short and I preferred a cheaper haunt.....Alighieri had given me a rare copy of a book which Kafka wrote, on his travels with Max Brod on how to travel Europe on a shoestring budget...Times have changed but ideas remain. I wandered in the supermarkets and later had baguette sandwiches and some bakery items. .. Later a walk in Grevin museum...........Meanwhile, I had met an aficionado during my morning walks and conversations on art and life, in general, took place... Though I have no profound views in these areas, my walking friend had interesting perspectives on these subjects....who was related to an extent to the art gallery of Louvre and told me that many onlookers took Mona Lisa to be a human being and not as a work of art and used to do many foolish acts ... It was raining occasionally and I would sit in cafes enjoying the outside world in an attempt make up for my lost thoughts inside. In fact, I was reliving some of my days of early youth with my friend T.Kuruvilla reading books and having coffee in grand chairs.Alighieri has left a note which I read now.An energetic and sad minute and I was astoundingly surprised by the chain of thoughts.He was keeping from me some of his private wounds, perhaps looking for an occasion later to reveal.. ........Dreams, unwanted recollections, and an inconceivable illness that started a few months ago... His own share of life, experiences and trysts... . I had always fancied in a romantic way that life everywhere is the same- human beings, man or woman has the same sort of issues though some shades in this canvas are darker or dimmer than the other, as the occasion demands.. and a course from dark to light or light to dark is a relative story ..I had spent enough time in streets and cafes with bas-reliefs to find relief........ Or, in a similar case, it was those days of my short tour in Warwickshire where I appeared to hear a melodic voice from a major room in the library of a manor house that had some Robert Bruce connections.... I considered it one more story of make believe that man likes to indulge in when challenges outside are stupendous.......Alighieri had different views. Presently in this Paris of yore, close to the Seine that spread encompassing cultures on both sides, with 777 kilometres of running route.I liked it in a way and tried to deposit some of my feelings into it as any old traveller... Like Madame Bovary or Hugo, this river named the Seine, once dea Sequana from Dijon, is a timeless character that can influence..... Perhaps I will not come again. Perhaps I will come many times again. But that does not matter.. .... The Seine in this holden waterway, in blue-green quality and individuals who have purchased vessels and lived in pontoons and in watercraft, boats that convey commercial items and so on. The Seine in her excellence, a lady of many states and strides of mind, exciting writers and legislators and drifters and explorers and nomads and individuals who are discarded at a remote end of an existence....... I spent a day in the library as I used to do in India when there is enough time at hand....... ... With hundred or two hundred rupees per day, I can carry on with the most stupendous life and furthermore spend an hour on the Connemara benches.......
Paris is different. ...But the touches are equally tender and historical and are nurtured in a particular part of my brain in order to get revived later on.... Took a cruise.... Eiffel Tower..there was an eatery on the second floor..stood at Pont - Neuf which in truth was the oldest one... seventeenth-century marvel....... Pont de Arts.. put on the latch on the bridge's railings and toss the key in water........'Coulee - Verte' close to an old railroad in "Bastille" ... .... Notre Dame with its statues on the exterior and the gargoyles..........and likewise Sainte-Chapelle with its equally great Gothic charms....I had hardships and troubles in these last few hours, however, that does not take away my freedom as a man on earth... In this royal globe, I will walk another hour, if breath permits with great enthusiasm..... further watching, further living, meeting and travel....Perhaps we live only once. Who knows for sure?...... Amazingly I was likewise not ready to adapt up to my sore legs and joint torments that were upsetting me in the hikes. Paris remained in the dim, hazy halls of sanctuaries, and later boulevards and cafes and further later in an ever-increasing diary if memories with a lot of footnotes by different scribes...Causes, destinies and challenges as in an epic story that can be rewritten by another writer....Some disillusions apart, this was a nice trip. .. In the sense, I met you. Yes, I talk to you. ....You must admit that it is wonderful, for sure. The Seine, a lady experiencing life in various seasons like a mulberry tree, autumn, winter, spring and making indelible marks on cultures, you and me...... Moreover, this is a happy solace in eras of trouble as well as times mirthful ..... Before the Seine, I am lowered. ..lowered to the last threshold of humility ......... a lady slouching down in the seat at the lower edge of rostrums.... another longing figure may be a child, together inclining toward each other one as a blanket to the other, against a landscape of snow and fog that looms large at a distance....... I went to the left bank that had a free flavour with a diverse group... craftsmen, men with few bondages and cherishing couples and artists in mackintoshes and oilskins in these wintry days... ...From my small place, I make a survey at this wizard of wizards but as a reality, not as an apprentice, from an unbiased point of view ........ The Seine in various tones, similar to a great darling who had given away her heart for a reason that extended to posterity, searching the treasures that are not of these worlds...In this lifetime everything will be better than any time in recent memory, I assured myself at last.......I saw it now, a colourful watercraft and on it the sign, the mystery sign we gave at the season of betrothal and in its frontispiece my wife's and my name affixed on it in purple, blue and red, before retrieving the keys we threw at Pont de Arts..... I asked who the owner of the watercraft was, and got a reply from a passerby that it was a princess of Indian origin and dedicated to her lover far away and also to the poor passengers who cannot afford big sums and desired a ride in the Seine. And the lover had a name much similar to mine. The passenger told that he got this information from a design artist who is the manager of the watercraft this season.
THE END
