The mist always rises

The mist always rises, The sun always shines; After every cloud, Out comes the light. Horizons clear and Darkness always yields to light, And in the end, Life shines bright.

Pondicherry

The sublime sea- coast at Pondicherry is something to be enjoyed. Here with my father. Light drizzle. Cool breeze. Sitting in the Aurobindo Ashram guesthouse, located by the sea. The Aurobindo Ashram itself is an enigmatic place. Today wa s one of the days when Rishi Aurobindo' s room was opened to the public. Though opulent, it gives an insight into his lifestyle. The Ashram Samadhi is host to a group meditation activity in the evenings. People sit quietly, simply meditating and trying to find answers to life's issues in silence. Sitting by the sea beach, enjoying the drizzle, one feels the various stresses, strains and disappointments of daily life melting away . It will be back to reality tomorrow, but it is worthwhile to enjoy these rare moments of life when one can simply be oneself. Viva Pondicherry!
