Ellipses . . .


Hey!! Wait!! I am not refering to some ISI-Al Qaida nexus here and nor do i have any intention of providing my expert comments on the recent solar eclipse but . . .

God!! I feel i have become obsessed with it; it has even followed me here to my blog. I know, this "three-dot thing" is not going to leave me so easily; infact i feel, one day it may even make me change my name to Munish . . . Mittal :). I don't remember when it started, but currently i am using "Ellipses" in my all means of communication with this world : emails, smses, poems, thoughts, gestures, and now blog, too. Being a laconic person, i derive a lot of satifaction whenever i get a chance to use an "Ellipsis" because it really gives me a lot of freedom to make myself sound sure of some esoteric thing, or to pretend like saying something when i don't wish to say anything, or to keep others guessing when i know those others are not going to get a word of what i wish to say. But, again, who the hell cares for . . .

Coming back to that 'three-dot thing." These small three dots have a lot in common but are very different from one another, just like human beings:

The first dot represents a person who is highly materialistic, has no values, or no concern for others' feelings. He remains at the start, highly attached with his wordly desires, dying every day to make a living.

The third dot represents a person who has found himself, has become aware of the fact that God is inside and not outside, and has reached Nirvana. This kind of person is difficult, but not impossible, to find.

The second dot represents the category which includes some idiots (include me here) who are always oscillating between the other two dots. They know they have an aim in life but don't know what that aim is. So these poor souls are always . . . from first dot to the third dot.

God!! I think i used it again. I am sure (thank God) i am still oscillating and thinking if i will ever be able to reach the third dot in this lifetime or . . .

I think i must wait for the third dot to trace its path back to the second one; that would be a better option. Amen!!!
