I want to share an experience from a road-trip. Road-trips means bag full of experiences. This particular came to my mind. It lingers in my mind like a photograph captured without camera.

While we were on the beautiful East Coast Road, it would have been somewhere between Pondicherry and Rameswaram, near Mimisal or Thondi, my father was driving at a cruising speed. He said something. He said it in our mother tongue, Marathi, but I’ll transcript in English here. He said, “People fight over an inch of a plot; come here, you’ll find this whole world yours! Each and every moment we are on it and off it. We don’t own this world, instead, we are his and he is ours. It is we who try to own it, and hence lose it.”

He has this admiration for this world without worship or need to possess. He simply loves it unconditionally. He was simply happy there.

Unconditional love is admiration without worship or need to possess.

By the way, that East Coast Road (ECR), it is something different. One must visit it once in a lifetime. I don’t know how shall I describe it. It is something which my mind never be able to tell, but my heart would.

P.S. – When going there, keep your food with you. There is not a single pure veg restaurant on that 360km stretch!
