Sandhya – I realized today that I fell in love with that most beautiful lady in the world. All these years without realizing, unknown to me I used to meet her twice every day. I met her every morning and evening. I used to wait for her arrival without slightest shame. Even if I were with my wife, I waited for the arrival of most beautiful lady in the world. Let me also state that even when I was in the cozy company of my girlfriend, I waited for this most beautiful lady in the world’s arrival.
You may say don’t I have shame? Why should I? Falling in love and waiting for her arrival are not shameful acts. Further, which idiot said that a married man with children cannot fall in love? Let my wife threaten me of divorce and a fat alimony or my girlfriend of desertion, I do not care… I shall continue to wait for my lady love and rush forward to meet her twice in a day.
I had requested her, fell on her feet to remain with me forever; she smiled sweet, said that either it is twice a day or nothing…like ‘Jockey or Nothing’! I am a good man, contended with twice a day. She is that ‘connection’ for me that only in her presence I meet with my soul. If she is not there, and then my life will become meaningless. She is the best, the most unique & the most gracious.
To hell with my wife & girlfriends. Let them desert me. Let my family disown me. Let the society ex-communicate me. Let the meaningless God threaten me with eternal condemnation and boiling oil bath: I do not care, and I am beyond caring: I want the intoxication of my girl, of who I am a slave. I do not need anything; all I need is my Sandhya.
OMG! I wrote her name! If I choose, I can erase it; but I am not scared. Why in the hell I should be scared? Yes, I love Sandhya more than my life! In fact, she is and forever will be my life. No law can punish me for loving Sandhya; and no threat of punishment can defer me from loving her! Let me tell you how much I love her in words – she is my life. Without the Sandhya connection I am nothing!
When the last star has vanished from the sky, when the first bird has not flown from her nest, when the sun rise has not yet began, I met Sandhya for the first time. No ray from the sun has reached the earth; No tree has stirred that morning and no dew drop has evaporated, I met Sandhya the connection. It is believed that there is no other time better than this to meet Sandhya. Her very arrival brings peace and tranquility in life; sitting in the presence of Sandhya vaporizes every thought… I fully merge in her.
As I said earlier, she comes twice a day. When the last ray of the sun is about to vanish; when the first star in the horizon is yet to twinkle and when the birds have not yet returned to their nests after a long flight, it is amidst these I meet Sandhya for the second time in the day. No ray from the moon has reached the earth; no street light has illuminated the roads and the first dew drop is yet to fall on a tender leaf, I meet my Sandhya.
It is said that the Hindu God Brahma (the creator) work during Sandhya time. Hence this hour is the most sacred hour. It is during this time the God gets busy with his creation. Sandhya (means the connection) is the link between Night & Day and Day and Night. This is the time where it is neither day nor night or the vice versa. This time that connects day to night & night to day is called in Sanskrit the Sandhya. This Sandhya I am in love with!
