Looking for something

I was in some ancient book market which resembled the Chandni Chowk Book Bazaar in Delhi. And i was looking for a VLSI book from shop to shop. I dont remember if the people around me were desis or not which would have given me a hint as to where was this Bazaar. But i had someone with me hopping on and off the bus to check out the big bazaar. I dont remember who was that too.But i remember the book i was searching for. I was searching for a VLSI book written by Khaled Hosseni. Yes the same guy who wrote the marvellous Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns. Well it was a dream, what else you could expect! :-) . A dream i remember half from last night.

This is only for your entertainment, hope you like it! :

You seem to be more interested in a travel through the forest of books. Is that what you really meant when you said you would like to embark a wild journey of life? in your previous post.

You see, Your consciousness is dying and taking rebirth every smallest unit of time you can think of. Where is question of "No one comes alive.."? It is only your mind's interpretation and illusion that makes you think you are alive. You are not the same the one who was in Delhi few years before (neither the hard-part of yours(body) nor your soft-being). Buddha said once-"You dont step-in in the same river in your next step". Following buddha's teaching a country like Burma (buddhist country) has something very special for you. In Burmese language they dont say:- "This is River" rather they say- "The river is happening" and for tree they say "the tree is happening". In that part of globe every thing is happening. Nothing is static but dynamic. So even in the so called death state of 'one being', actually "one is happening".

By the way, what you plan to do at the end of the journey when, by chance, you are alive after passing through the jungle?

good luck
