so why am I going onto wikipedia...and searching for my hometowns name? searching for the familiar landmarks and temples....looking for pictures...anything...
i dont know....i do miss cochin...i miss it a lot...there are certain things about the place which no other place can replace...Im in Florida now, and the US is amazin...its everythin I'd hoped it would be and more..yet I miss cochin..
and in this hour of uncertainty I cling onto my gods...since it is only them who can grant me some solace...
its ironic aint it? a guy spends 22 years of his life stacking hope upon hope onto this place which he has dreamed of since he was capable of dreamin....he comes over, and he realizes that mebbe there was more to his home than he ever saw...
dont get me wrong, im not sayin that im gonna drop everythin and run back home to mud wrestle...(reference to the swades movie..)...im sayin that there has awakened in my being a new found respect and love for my hometown..cant wait to come back during summer 09..
the world is most definitely goin down a self destructive path...and heaven knows how much longer mankind can go on...things are lookin grim.. however, there is somethin that a lot of people are missin when they look at the world...the earth magic..
if ne one says "Cool..!! Star wars..!! hes gonna talk bout the force" im gonna clobber ye silly..im the only jedi in the room and in this world...Hah!!
neway....when i say earth magic...i mean the magic inherent in all living things...the spirit or the soul..that invisible energy which drives us..
earth magic can be felt by us, but each one of us finds it in different ways...for me, i find it in the sunset...i find it in the wind...i find it in the roar of the ocean as it sweeps in...i find it in the rain..
that subtle presence or awareness which says nothing and never makes any complaint against the rape and pillage mankind does to the earth every instant...this awareness....seems to just watch us...almost as if in sadness...
if it wanted to speak Im sure it would say " I have given you so much, so many chances...if only you would listen to your heart....if only you had listened...."
if only we had listened...
if only..
magus.

Hey i am rally glad that you finally accepted that you miss your home town... We did have quite a debate once about it lol!! ;)
as some old bugger said "home is where the heart is". a place where we have grown up is a place to whose natural frequency we are fully tuned to. like a child always subconsciously comforted by its mother's presence a place where you have lived long has an effect on you. and of course only when you cross the stream to the green pastures will you ever realize that your home was a garden by itself!!! dont worry buddy, the process that you are going through is called maturity and the hard knocks that you are received is called wisdom!!!!
ur missing cochin is but quiet natural nik , shows that u have a heart in the right shape .The initial days yes, wil be there but then, it will wear off . DOnt worry .
