I have this knack of hanging on to things…it could be one of the Kolhapuri silver slippers from a pair (where the other one was flicked) that I must have bought on a trip which still makes me all misty –eyed… or a wrapper of a Dairy Milk that I got out of a friend without much persistence (or with much persistence!!!), a shredded piece of cloth which once used to be an item of clothing of the first and only doll that I ever owned...photographs of people, who i loved immensely once and who really hurt me later...
Some of these things are neatly stacked somewhere and some I just chance upon while leafing through pages of some book. A penchant for the place, the time or the person I was with keeps me tied to these things..or probably it’s the link to my past..the link to what I used to be ..a trajectory that leads me to who I am now…
A poem by a Sufi poet, on a frayed piece of paper has never parted company of my softboard…and during my occasional breaks from work or while sipping my daily cuppa tea..i read it and it has never failed to bring a smile on my face. Though I’m not taken in by fake romanticism…I’m a hopeless romantic at heart.
In the arc of your mallet
Don't go anywhere without me.
Let nothing happen in the sky apart from me,
or on the ground, in this world or that world,
without my being in its happening.
Vision, see nothing I don't see.
Language, say nothing.
The way the night knows itself with the moon,be that with me.
Be the rose nearest to the thorn that I am.
I want to feel myself in you when you taste food,in the arc of your mallet
when you work,when you visit friends, when you goup on the roof by yourself at night.
There's nothing worse than to walk out along the street without you.
I don't know where I'm going.
You're the road, and the knower of roads,
more than maps, more than love.
Rumi
