STRANGE ….STRANGE WORLD

 Colleagues and students, my life in the last ten years has been a strange one, strange to the extent that it has caused me to entirely overcome the thoughts I had about past life.

     Life in the past was dark, dark in the sense that it was entirely unpredictable and profoundly dim lighted. Every morning dawn reminded me of an instant back at home and the extensively dark cave frightened my wife and son. I had to reassure them that this barrier at the mouth of the cave is to keep us safe. I had the first thick rose of any creature sited outside the cave, before finally moving out! The water was in scarce supply and tasted sour but I adapted to this; having taught my family to boil the water. The kind of food we ate was not pleasing, dried snake was one of them. To ensure the creature outside couldn’t hear us , as we all ate thankfully and eating the atmosphere of surprising serenity. I had to go out for a hunt regularly, overcoming the fear of the dangers of the cave, I knew I had to bring some food for my wife and son.

     To make my family comfortable I was able to build a moss-packed platform which was warm enough to use as a bed. I to ensure the fire was  on always, because my wife and son were afraid of the dark. Every morning I wake up, I glanced at the calendar I had screeched with heavy chalk on the cave wall and assured by family every day that life will be back to our normal very soon! Conversely, among the jagged rocks ahead, I tried to grow penicillin using crushed berries but its outs outcome turned out to be an entire opposite. Making me repeat its growth. My settlement was to aid a small child, who reluctantly suffered on her own, fighting barriers of life and death. Every time I stared at her, I saw her in the same posture with her dull eyes staring back at me. Her parents were at least concerned, I had wrap her in a bear hide. Every time she looked at me she had certain hope in her that one day I will save her from this miserable  life she was living. I had to place damp leaves on her forehead to calm her intensively rising body temperature.

     With dose scrutiny I have learnt from this experience that past life was not any different from a nightmare. This experience has taught me how to rapidly adopt to changes in life, to face least consequences! If life was ever like that, than modern life; including technology would be dimmed redundant. I cannot say that this experience was sinister, but all I can say is, it has brought many changes to my life and way of living. Even though it was always an atmosphere of melancholy. My father and I stuck together it was all that mattered.

THANK YOU!
