Achievement is something that is difficult to define, in my opinion. For a baby, the first step is a great achievement. And I have done that, haven’t I? In my native language, it is said that it would be better not to be born at all, if one cannot live a life that is praiseworthy. What is meant here, as far as I am concerned, is that one should lead a life that is blameless. Is not such a life worth all the praise one can give? How many of us can honestly say that they live a blameless life? Anyway, in my own life, though it is not a blameless one, there have had small mile stones, which one might perhaps call as achievements. What I treasure most is the goodwill that I seem to have earned from all and sundry, during my three years as an administrator in a large educational institution. That I am fondly remembered, even after I have left the place years ago, is for me a great achievement.

There are any number of marvellous life forms that have made water their world to live in. But, for me there is nothing more elegant than a fish in water. Even the horrible white shark, with its terrible reputation, is elegance itself, when it swims around. I will not want to be such a huge fish. I would like to be small minnow, flashing its silvery scales as it darts about in the sunlit waters. It is not a colorful fish, and it occupies a lowly place in the hierarchy of fishes. But for all that it is a successful fish. That is what one wants in life, is it not, to be a success? Well, on second thoughts, I might want to be dolphin! They seem to have such fun, and live their lives exuberantly! And they are very intelligent too. May be I will spend my first year under water as a minnow, and then make a giant evolutionary leap and spend the next year as a dolphin! It would be a sad day indeed when I shall have to ‘revert’ to being just an ordinary human being!!

My idea of heaven is not one where one sits on cloud, harp in hand and singing away. It would a place where one would reach after ‘doing time’ for not keeping to the laws of life in this world. After one has learnt all the lessons for life, one would find oneself in heaven peacefully, joyfully, and quietly doing things that one longed to do in life but never had the skill to achieve it to perfection. Heaven, for me will be a place where one reaches perfection and is just quietly pleased with it, making others feel that way too. What else can be heaven, for anyone?
