My first hanging in the air post...

30,000 ft above mean sea level :)

What happens when you are feeling happy from the inside and dont know what to do. And what makes the situation even more difficult to fathom is that this isnt a fleeting, momentary experience after several attempts of denial you realise that this is one of those metamorphic moments that you had always thought about.

There is a hindi couplet that I useto keep rehersing in my mind time and again. Just imaging the time, moment and the opportunity to actually use it for myself...

देर लगी आने में तुमको, शुक्र है फिर भी आए तो
आस ने दिल का साथ ना छोडा, वैसे हम घबराए तो

(der lagi aane mein tumko, shukr hai phir bhi aaye to aas ne dil ka saath ka choora, waise hum ghabraye to)

These lines are closest to what i meant and wished to be my last words and the end of a real long phase of strife. And now as I experience this phase gradually fading always from my life I feel much like a hopeless romantic whom Gulzarhas soo wonderfully captured in his words...

कोई रिश्ता नही रहा मगर फिर भी एक तसलीम लाज़मी सी है ...

(koi ristaa nahi raha magar phir bhi ek tasleem laazmi se hai )

Altought its all over, yet the ackowledgement is bound to be.

So apt and so true...
