I had a wonderful dream, I dreamt that lockdown has been lifted and I was on a boat, my eyes were half-closed, and I hummed a tune. Far and wide there was no one. I donned a scuba suit and threw myself with a splash into the blue water. I swam with schools of fishes. Soon the scene changed. Now I was in the air sitting in a fighter jet. The shadows of clouds played over the instrument console. I did not know what was the mission. A delicate noble sound of the engine was reassuring me. I just kept rolling and looping along the foothills of mighty Himalayas.
Everything the world had to say and do to me lay there ardent and still in the blue. The sweet serene blue. This was my share in the world, my joy, and my burden. Here I was a king. Here I could be indifferent to the whole world. I forgot all the will and purpose and let myself drift. And I felt this was life.
Yes. The good news is that flight operations are starting. And few of us would be lucky to get in the flight deck and watch beautiful morning sunrise up above at cruising altitude much before the rest of us. Good luck to them. Those crew, who would be up there, please do convey our prayers to almighty. I do not know why but flying high up there I always felt closer to godhead.
Today, Eid-Ul-Fitr, a holy festival is also being celebrated. May God send his love like sunshine in his warm and gentle ways to fill every corner of your heart and fill your life with a lot of happiness like this Eid day. Wishing you Eid Mubarak to all my fellow aviators, friends, and readers.
