Lets Start: The Blinded Darkness

The idea for writing this came, when I was travelling in a train from Mumbai to Hyderabad. When the train was approaching Khandala Ghats, the lights of bogie went off. Same time train started passing the through tunnel. Gosh! it was complete darkness. Was not able to view anything for few seconds until everyone used their mobile flashlights. I made note of it in my iPod, and typed few lines but was neither able to complete or structure the note.

But few months later, when me and my friends went to Dialogue In The Dark (Its a restaurant wherein there is complete Darkness. We are guided to the table and served food by attendants, and all the attendants are blind). After the experience inside the restaurant, I recollected the moment of Darkness Note. And instinctively completed it, when I was sitting with my friends in the open air dining area of the mall. 

This is a try to depict how perspective of Darkness changes when we think of it as a person with vision and a person who is blind!

Here it goes,    

Darkness, a state in life
Everyone wants to run away from
Hoping to find ray of light
In order to guide our flight
Away from the un-personified
Darkness!!!

But think about the ones
Who are born with this curse
Do they also want to run away?
Or have accepted their faith
Living in the un-illuminated
Darkness!!!

For some who are fortunate enough
Able to distinguish between
Different worlds that they see
But still somehow always stumble
In the spectrum of un-avoidable
Darkness!!!

As our deliberations' continue
What safeguards the blind?
Do they also look for the light?
What helps them to justify their worlds?
Eventually may find the answers from,
The Blinded Darkness!!!

P.S.
