The sum of all years (fears)

A perfect blog material..I dont know why KK didnt deem necessary to put it directly on the blog. An absolute stunner from the most unexpected quarters :-) . Its a privilege to post it !

Quote:
After such a marvellous chat on that day and subsequent follow up with an amazing photo and meeting Anoop ... I was compelled to write the following tribute to Goli.

I have only know him for such a short time ... but I always thought I saw his art somewhere or the other and after seeing his thesis and some other pieces of art in the lab, I finally realized that I had seen him all over the world. It is a great honour to be associated with Goli who art adores most of the museums in the world. From Cave paintings to his preliminary trials with metal to his first wheel, I have been compelled to think how ardous task it must have been for him.

He is the true cradle of civilization, always have taught people the basics before they surpass him. His lifespan has not covered several generations but several spieces. He has not only seen the rise and fall of empires but also the rise and fall of entire living organisms .... not to say he must also be involved in the extermination of some.

I have often heard people of saying, doctors and researchers probing on how people can live forever without diseases and other ailments. Without ever aging. But I am lucky to be with the person who has held that secret always in his heart. He has been the truest form of Human. Not because he doesnt have any progenies but because he has chosen not to. He keeps his secret buried in his chest and the burden doesnt allow him to enjoy.

It is very drastic for our own Goli. Consider his emotional state ... how difficult it may have for him, from incomplete education as Vatsayana passed away (rumors about some veneral disease) so he was deprived of the true education to which we can only think about to the cruel war in Mahabharata to the being on the TITANIC or endure Romeo's and Juliets most boring love story or see Cleopatra's sleeping with all but goli.... Life has not been easy for Goli to say the least. These emotional upheavals has taken a toll on him.... but rest assured he is still standing tall ....He is the strongest and the oldest (not including the wisest) of all freaks.

May Goli this new year be the best of all eras u had so far .. and may you carry the stories of Freaks to the passing generations .....

My Wishes for u :-

Slow at first, too soon the years quickly fly
Far beyond our short reach and fragile hold
Just like the birds which polka dot the sky
Then sit and laugh, while, like fools, we grow gold...

With just their voice, they sing to show the way
Living the high life, laughing and soaring,
As we fret over mirrors wrinkled gray,
Along with nonsense, judgments, and snoring

So when your star rises again each year
And you see those mockingbirds light nearby,
Keep in mind they come not to taunt and jeer at
They're here in hopes this is the year you fly

jab main chhota bachaa tha ... badi shararat karta tha ... meri chori pakdi jaati ... jab roshni hoti bajaj ...

kya rangeen jawaani thi ... ek raja aur ek rani thi ... raja rani pakde jaate ... jab roshni hoti bajaj ...

ab main bilkul budda hu ... goli khaa kar jeeta hu ... lekin aaj bhi ghar ke andar ... roshni hoti bajaj ...

Abhi picture baaki hai mere dost !
