"No matter how hard you
work or how long it takes to
get out of the deep pit you are
already in, it takes only a
moment to fall back into that
same deep hole, and start it
all over from the very
beginning."
The Beginning; On Boulevard To Deja Vu
It all started, where it had to, if only I could change it that it had been a little better perhaps, on some
other average October day in an apparently cold dawn that wasn't a very viably suitable day for it, but
that was to come later. I learned, in the not-so-distant future, from one of my parents that the neighbor's
son who was a kid then, scooped some flesh out from the under of my left (only am not sure of it) eye
while taking a look at the massively small blob of flesh, symmetrizing artistically when their family
came for a visit to the hospital bed. Much like a human. Actually he was just curious about how does a
baby behave when they are irritated. He meant nothing mean, I am certain. Anyhow, as I recall what
my father recalled, you could call me a crybaby. A veteran now though. Some would also prefer aliases
"Little Monster" or "Little Devil" to Crybaby to address, but till the time being, I was more better
known as and called Arun, which I somehow heard as Awwun, that I had to later correct myself. The
first several months had been good, learning new things, Learning that the A.M radios can work
throughout the night, that keeping the thumb moist induces some feeling of a full tummy in me and
pressing the red button on the TV magically turns it on (I was later told it was not a magic. Not that I
trusted her back then, but I had to believe her.) By now I could almost point out what food am I being
served and Honeycomb cereals are better than Kellogg Corn Flakes. Choking onto those kinds of food
is a completely different issue, so I won't relate it to that.
Walking Through The Prologue - Of Revelations And
Beyond
Somehow, many several months had past, and in fact, a year or two maybe. And by the time I learned
how to speak, how to stop crawling, start being a bipedal Homosapien, stop being a quadrupedal one.
But that wasn't all. I learned some basic fundamentals of physics by then actually. It might sound
prodigious till now, but mediocre soon. Actually the fundamentals of physics that I learnt were things
like - pushing the bottle of milk off the edge of the table would shatter it into pieces (to be confused
with Newtons Law Of Universal Gravitation), a punch on that spring loaded weight measurement
equipment will only hurt you more (to be confused with Newtons Third Law Of Motion) and flashing
the torch light on your mommy's face while she is sleeping won't make her scream instantaneously (or
so did the General Theory of Relativity and Mass-Energy equivalence taught me after some time.
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light. But these days I have been seeing articles in the
newspaper that claim Einstein's theory might be proved wrong soon.) But the end of the second year
didn't start with quite much clue of what was going around. There had been a few issues that I believe I
didn't know much about back then, but do now, which I would not prefer to bring up since I believe that
is is not a very good idea to resurface all that dirt that sedimented into the bottom of the bucket of
water, it only makes it a more time consuming process. I might as well be described as a lazy person.
You'll know more about it soon. Anyhow, I think this bought quite a change into the system, the
atmosphere and that deportment I was brought up in so far.
