.....a footstep , a fulfillment ......

.....a  foot step on unchartered territory.....an  event  of  sorts .....the soil & Gud  Earth still  holding  fort.....over  the millenium.....as we flourish, perish  nd  reunite with Gud Earth, every speck of it beholds the generations after  generations of the meek , the old  , the  mighty , the illustrious , the pious ...the loved  ones....Gud  Earth is  a  mute  spectator, to millions  of years of human endeavour all  finally  reduced  to  dust at  its  feet....hence  , a  footfall on  a  God forsaken territory  is  no  mean  effort either, the rich  legacy  underneath of  generations  of  stories  of  survival, effort  nd  celebrations  called  Life.....as I sift  thru  the  innumerable  pearls  of  the  Indian Ocean , a  2500  yr old fiercely Independent  history, isolated , protected  frm  extraneous  influences  thru  its   natural  barrier.....a  sense  of  thrill runs  down  the  system  as  my first foot etches  a  mark  on an unknown terrain of  the  white Island sand.....its  a  feeling of  accomplishment , a fulfillment  of  being  now   a  part  of  a  legacy  of  survival  amidst  adversity.....dotted  r  the  stories of civilization on  this archipelago, innately flourishing  in  isolation......as slowly  & steadily  I cover Island  after Island , both physically  & intellectually  the  joy knows  no  bounds .....the difft dialects , stories  nd  practices  of a many ,still,

 a virgin territory ......
