Magical Me

Thats right! I am magical! For that matter, so are you. As is everybody else.

I am not saying anything new. Just giving words to what almost each of us has felt sometime or the other in life. Imagine starting life as a single cell and ultimately ending up a giant (compared to a cell, we would be more than giants) of maybe six feet plus lengths (and varying breadths ;)). Imagine all those complex processes going on inside our bodies to keep us alive. Imagine all those neurons carrying messages to and fro at speeds unimaginable. Imagine that heartbeat of yours beating away to the end of your days dutifully without fail (affected sometimes by members of the opposite sex though). Imagine the human body in all its glory. Imagine life!

And to think that we rarely spare a thought to these simple things. Just because they are. Just because we are mired up in the other 'goals' of our lives. Just because we have to be succesful, and famous, and celebrated. And we come to think of these simple facts only in death or disease. And since my profession is such that I do come in contact with these two truths of life frequently, I may have realised what I am writing now. But for how long the realisation lasts, i don't know.

So friends! Lets try to unearth the magic. Lets comprehend what we have been provided. Lets try to respect the treasure within and without us and ensure its well being. Lets celebrate life!


(PS: Whatever it is, this is for you, Kaustuv. Sorry about the book though)
