Fog again




"Unreal City,
Under the brown fog of a winter dawn..."

~ T.S. Eliot, The Wasteland

Strange are the ways of life. With the rain and the unusually winter-like chill, yesterday brought two news. As different as black and white, as contradictory as love and hate. While one friend is all thrilled to fly home for a brother's wedding, another must make the same journey but with a shattered heart from a brother's loss.

There are times when I feel a blank, a strange hollow. And this is one.

  2. Hello Suman. The same day ! It's weird.You can't really rejoice over this wedding because you have to console your friend. I understand when you say "I feel a blank". A bientôt.

  3. Oh! you are not only one who has gone through this kind of feeling. But the sense of hollowness...sometimes brings wonderful things from within.

  4. I'm so sorry.You feel for both your friends, but the sorrow has a way of overshadowing the joy.

  5. Celine, yes very weird. And more so when both of them are equally close.

    Rajnish, I don't know if it'd be proper to say "I'm 'glad' I'm not the only one"...

    Pondside, true. You always put things so beautifully, in a very comforting sort of way. Thank you.

    Sunny, thanks for dropping by!
