  • Monday Musings - 12

    We are a small audience, in a charming little theatre. We are watching 'Grey Elephants in Denmark.' And, we are gawking like little children, and giggling like young lovers and muddled, and intrigued, and fascinated. Produced by 'Out of Context,' 'Grey Elephants in Denmark' is a delightful two-part stage show that brings magic into theatre. In it there are things disappearing and then appearing, there is mind reading and deciphering, and other charming little tricks that hold our imagination. And, that allow us to leave, only when we are truly enchanted, when we are truly convinced of all that is magical.

    Hours later, we are still starry-eyed. And, magical isn't just a line of cars that never ceases, and a row of people that winds and unwinds...magical is a little family in its struggle for survival, a little family truly in love. Magical is everything around us, every little speckle of this bright, decrepit universe...that still somehow holds itself together.

    Magical is a string of wheels awaiting to test the Bandra-Worli sealink, even if it is free. You'll whine about the traffic jams, and the potholes- but isn't it marvellous? Many mind, many hands built this- and a city has so easily come together to salute it! And magical, almost surreal is the taste of victory after many trials. The Federer win, the tears in Roddick's eyes, the true spirit of sport. And even, the sadness of a goodbye. Magical is the promise that we shall never part.

    Magical is all of these things that occur, all of these that bind the mundane and lace it with splendour. We are so priviliged to experience such little, and big joys. Such little, and big moments we never expected. As if they were all pulled out from within us, and unfurled with a cheery smile. Setting us off for a moment of delightful disbelief, and winding us back to a place where all is beautiful, and all is magical.

    A place where you and me, are thankful for the little things we live with. The little things we live by. The horrid Fridays and the magical Mondays.
