A mole's view of the cosmos

We are a way for the cosmos to know Itself

I had just completed my Drawing assignment of Mechanisms...and yes...this time no copy paste business!This was as original as Da Vinci's Monalisa ;) .Lights were turned off and I had to be in bed for the morning class(I hate em).I couldn't sleep for sometime ,though I pretended to do so in order that my roommate turned off lights.Suddenly something very extraordinary happened.I witnessed flashes of memories ,of all the places I had been so far.I could see my childhood days and memories of incidents which had a lasting effect on my mind.I could also see the hills, and the snowing sun.In my subtle mind,I thought it was a dream.I could wrap the 'time',and go beyond 'space'...I thought it was so wonderful,to be able to go back in time again.Suddenly,I realized it was no longer a dream and I was seeing all this while I was awake.

I had an urge to go out of the room to take a whiff of fresh air.The morning air smells obnoxiously pleasant in kgp I tell you!I was staring at the sky,Thinking about my Identity,whether I was the same person which had been in those time and places.It seemed so different!I saw the most beautiful night sky I had ever seen in my life that day.What is this universe....and its amazing things...the most amazing being this planet ....full of life which no other planet(till known) nurtures.I stood there for a long moment.I was in no state to answer what I saw or felt....it was just amazing.I stood there,wondering about the infinity of stars,some having systems of planets.....of which very few having life....and of the fewest of all,some may have another rational person like me....staring in some other direction of this vagueness,wondering about the mysteries unknown to all.....

It was more than what my small cerebrum could handle...I cought a small nap (still bewildered and confused).Oops ...it was 7 already,time to grab a toast and rush to the main complex!!
