Celestial Eruptions

There can be no artist better than You

 There can be no painting better than Yours...

 Sometimes, things happen just like that, completely unplanned. Yet the outcome leaves one in a state of euphoria. It may be a painting or a photograph, but the joy is boundless.

Whether we quote the late Maradona and say it’s the hand of God or a miracle of Mother Nature, that is up to us. But moments like this make you stop, smile and momentarily forget your worries. This picture is one such euphoric moment for me. The many hues and tones force you to stop and wonder at the magic of Mother Nature. This picture was clicked in Canada by a dear friend, Arindam Phani. A passionate photographer, he has captured many a special moment like this.

Whatever be your stresses, whatever be your worries, you are bound to forget them and smile. That is the magic. This picture put me in a reflective mood subconsciously. I was trying to connect some euphoric eruptions in my life. There were a few, though far between. Graduating from school was one. I laugh at it now as I always dreaded Chemistry. Then there was the Covid wave in India. Doing my little bit, I did manage to attend to a few critical patients. Their chances of survival were slim. 

But when they did, it was total euphoria for me on the ground. Similar to the celestial eruption in the skies over Calgary.
