learning by practice, again and again

[Thoughts as they came. No, place to bring coherence but see the pattern.]

It was three years back in October, 2015, I launched a project by name 'Jiyomaitry'.
There were many ideas, mere ideas, many wishful thinking and working alone.
Hosting and launching new workshops. All a flop show!
Working alone and trying to connect with all. Few attempt which never took place. All efforts, unknown greetings to unknown people. Resulting into nothing.

after month and half of just working... I was fad up. I could no longer stand and hear words of failure. I can not accept those failure. At same time, I can not share how it looks and assure others that this is just a phase.
December 2015, gave another dimensions. Travel, connect with people.
Connection again became a key word.

Now, after 3 years.
Some connection are made. deeper connection and relation of friendship with some beautiful people.
Virtual as well as physical. Now they have become a support system.

Three year back, I only use to work and suffocate within after every attempt.
In first session, only one person came. Who were there to support me, my gurubhai.
In second one, I was all alone. Still, I enjoyed being in nature. Juggling and doing tai-chi, other exercises as I had planned. All by myself. Girgaun Chowpatty. Observing Sun rise from the Mumbai beach. Something I never thought of. How is it possible?, I came in connection with real geography, real directions.

Connecting with your roots, soothes you.

Day before yesterday, Thanks to few friends at all level.
A first circle on parenting happened.
I saw a stark difference in me and around me.
I saw how she arranges circumstances for you. How she prepares you and makes you more solid. Condition, you have a faith and patience, a courage to walk again on the path.

I feel grateful to Her.
Heart is fulled, from nothing to everything. I don't know, the reason. a feeling of emptiness, as heavy as mountain. A pang of separation and beyond. Gratitude and void. Something is awaiting to born, to be made.

At thy lotus feet, O, Divine Mother.
Let Thy will be done.

Mumbai Has a Underground Local Trains!

8:30pm in winter, station churni road of mumbai's western railway line. A family boards train toward borivali. Children soon reaches to window and stands there in awe for city and train. Train is moving fast, cutting the darkness and creating its unusual sounds.
Elder one exclaims to younger one "Hey, Now we are underground and train is below earth now!"
Small one looks at him with utter surprise, like he has no sense and heard this word first time. explanations begins, like a sermon and soon again. "Look, we are underground again!!!" "Yes and now we are out!"
Passenger around them looks at them with smile.

Soon a station comes, train halts.
"look this is an underground station." elder one explains while looking out of the window till eyes can stretch. "Yes, you are right" nodded younger one. "Have you seen lighting arrangement? Wasn't it bright?" asked elder and just got a smile from younger one. who is still trying to understand what that means.

Elder one must be 8-9 year old and 3 year elder than younger ones.

----------------------

8:30pm, elder one takes a train from Churchgate station. Accompanied by a friend who has come from delhi. showing local train and story of city of dream. Elder one has got this image of crocodile tail city from one of the poem, read during school days. While explaining map of city to friend. Train halts at station and something dawns in mind.

Eyes are now looking out. Searching for something. Simple candid joy comes to heart. smile on face. Unable to believe what is been seen and what was seen.
"Mumbai doesn't have underground train, stupid." Elder one said to himself. Younger one is not along today. At age of 28 now, Elder one recalls those days and wonders what imagination was? Hopes imagination could have grown more bigger. Can it become true? Mumbai with underground trains. 
passing and cutting through Arabian Sea. What a sight it would be? Will it be done in this lifetime or by end of century?

Ohhh!! Imagination...Can we get an underwater rail...

What do you think, Can India go for it...?
