What goes around, comes around !!!

Life is but a circle. We are all but the passengers traveling on the edge of it. We all have to jump off exactly where we started.



Of all the destinations in London, my camera lens seemed to be in special love with London Eye.

Ferris wheels like the London Eye is the perfect manifestation of circle of life. We are so joyous as we enter the egg shaped capsules at the start of the trip. We come along with our chosen partners and few strangers, just as we enter the realm of life, as if a new birth. As we hover around the corners of the capsule, we will be taken to the visual trip of the entire city of London. All the while we are occupied in the visual sensation, the machine will cleverly keep moving. Everyone will get a chance to reach on the top once. No stopping though. Be aware of that moment and take full enjoyment out of it.

I have learned that the sky is round. This earth is but a circle (egg shaped to be precise), revolving round the ‘round’ sun. The hefty sun is not idle itself. It in turns revolve round some another mightier object. As I descend through the London Eye, I get a feeling that the earth is nothing but one of those capsules in that ultimate universal Ferris wheel.

As we gradually descend and reach the end of our 30 min trip I notice people are sad and don’t want this trip to end. Meanwhile a mystifying thought grips my mind. As I finally complete my trip and asked to step out, I REALIZE that I finished EXACTLY WHERE I STARTED. How can it be the end? And if it is the end, did I really start?

To relate it to broader terms, everyone ends their journey exactly where they started. There is no difference between life and death except that they point to different directions. And the directions in itself are meaningless since the journey is a circle.

There are no destinations in life. Ultimately it’s a journey to nowhere. Enjoy the lift :-)
