Dear Readers,
A few days ago, the newspapers read that scientists have proved Einstein's theory of Relative Temporality true. Two highly accurate atomic clocks measured times at different levels and arrived at the conclusion that time clicked faster at the higher level. A corollary to this theory is that we live surrounded by multiple time and space dimensions. So, I set out researching with my own experiments. It is so heart-touching some times to feel a strong sense of bonding with a town or city. One revises his acquaintances with streets, buildings, landmarks and most importantly a few people who appear to be as permanent a fixture of that town as its very essence. You identify a purpose and a rhythm in every motion of that locus. Moreover, a few of those rhythmic patterns appear to be repetitive or oft sighted.
I was loitering around in the city of Jodhpur the whole day today. Quite unlike the routine, the weather was soothingly pleasant throughout so much so that at 2 30 pm me and my friends could afford a stroll in one of the city parks ( a rarest of the most rare things possible in a desert city). We laughed, giggled, discussed our futures pensively and lay down on the grass. We felt the saawan breeze on our faces and could audaciously stare at the sky which had no Sun. I felt as if we were back to our adolescence. By leisurely whiling away time with closest buddies I could manage to transcend my present and reach a stage of blissful innocence and relaxation where future worries held no mass.
A little later, it so happened that I coincidentally went past a few spots which were frequented by me regularly as a child. Like it dawns upon many of us when we are caught in similar situations, I was surprised to gauge that those very places seemed to be have shrunk in size. The streets which looked like roads running till the horizon now look like 'just-another-street' and as accommodating far greater number of people. I was transfixed to find myself sprinting back and forth between different points on my time-scale. This is how I came to appreciate the notion of multiple temporality. Maybe, one day I will manage to live all my ages at one spot together in one go.....
