e t e r n a l . g l o r y

Fossils emanate the history of the land. The earth beneath is layered with stories of the distant past to the recent times. The epics of heros and warriors are embedded in the relics. When the dust of war has settled, the remains showed the futility of their victories as well as their defeats. Great heros looked like ordinary mortals towards end of their lives. They all acted side by side in the grand opera of life, where forms come, play their part and vanish on this rotating stage for countless generations. The theatre of 'anitcha' unfolds and enfolds seamlessly and endlessly. Layers and layers of soil is socked in the thick blood of pain mixed with sweet tears of happiness. The human drama happening above the terrains for eons, revolve in a mighty whirlpool of unseen space-time continuum.

Here we are trying to make our thoughts and emotions relevant by sticking on to our stories. The tales of ordinary heros. The 'eternal glory' that humans are striving for, is a funny concept indeed!
