Chicago Mid-West Airport, 9.30 am. Waiting for the flight to San Francisco at 10.15 am, I had 45 minutes to kill. I took out the I-pod and turned on a tamil song " Vellai Pookal" from the movie "Kannathil Muthamittal". It is a slow melody sung by AR Rahman. The song is very mellifluous. As I closed my eyes momentarily enjoying the pleasant song, with its instruments playing softly as ever and opened my eyes, I saw an entirely different world. Everyone and everything in the airport was in slow motion. The busy pilot and an airhostess walked back slowly towards home after a tiring journey. But even as they went about their job, they shared a joke and laughed. An old couple waiting for their flight, talked to each other and a small smile broke across the old man's lips. A mother and daughter argued with each other over some issue. A young boy ran behind his friend as they tried to run around the airport seats. A small girl shared a secret with her mother. A patient father played with his son. Everytime he went near the toy that his son wanted to pick, he pushed it further. As the amused son ran behind it along with his father, smiling and laughing. A smile broke across my face as I realized that I was enjoying this moment. There was no inherent reason for my happiness, it was just slow, soft bliss. <http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_E4evlxgiZos/SMB_a4LfOFI/AAAAAAAAAXc/ltc2a6-8b0g/s1600-h/Ultra-slow-motion-camera-pictures-02.jpg> How often we yearn for more time. How we wish good moments are slow and bad moments are fast and its always the reverse. But amidst these good and bad moments there are infinite simple not so significant moments. What about those. Try to take some time, where people all around you are busy, and isolate your mind to a slower world and see through those slower glass. Everything around you will look peaceful and happy. The happiness that you will experience when you understand the underlying beauty of the slowed down moment will be similar to watching intently at a 3D image on a piece of paper with concentration and the image suddenly appearing to you….. -- regards, Vithur ARR -- The Sweet Cube always
