See the compass there? That is a magical compass, in the movie series, Pirates of the Caribbean, used by Captain Jack Sparrow (played by Johnny Depp)... What is this about a compass, people might ask.. Specially those who haven't seen or even heard of Capt. Jack Sparrow's exploits in the movie.
Well, this compass aint an ordinary compass mate. It points to what the holder desires the most at that very point of time. Using this compass, one could find out what they desired the most. The effect of the compass was not limited to locations and objects, but could also indicate the user's desire towards another person.
Now, what's the connection between this and our lives? Well, won't everyone of us like to have such a compass. Say someone wants to have PEACE the most. Oohh.. Tricky one. Now where on earth do you go for peace? U.S.? No, India? No, South Africa? No. It's there within each and everyone of us. Only thing, we fail to search for it.
Just for kicks, lets see what some of these people would desire the most:
George.W.Bush - Another term in the white house... Sorry bub, the compass points straight back to your own house, wherever it maybe.
Laloo Prasad Yadav - The prime minister's office... Ofcourse, rail mantriji, You are most welcome to visit the Prime Minister, whenever he feels comfortable.
Australian Cricket team - No one else should win another world cup, a knockout or any major ICC tournament... Certainly, that'll happen, only in your dreams.
Jose Mourinho - A silent winning season with once again Chelsea... Stop kidding Jose, you can't keep your mouth shut for 5 minutes.
Rahul Dravid - To play a test match for the Bangalore Royal Challengers against a rest of the IPL team and win it... Quite possible, provided all other teams agree and Dravid wakes up from his sleep.
Well, those are just a few of those. However absurd it may seem, all of us do yearn and all of us do want, maybe not in tons, but just maybe a few milligrams of it... Love, Affection and Someone to give us all this and remember us throughout their lives. That's what most of us would want rather than money, fame and power, things which we cant take to our graves.
If i had the compass, i would desire a beautiful house in an island far from the city with all my friends, with great food, fun and scenic..
ReplyDeleteTrue.. wish each one of us had the compass.. but the prob is that even this some creatures wud misuse.. so the compass shud be allowed to do only the positive things :)

ReplyDeleteif i had the compass, i would go back to JHSS!!

ReplyDeletewell the thought that struck me as soon as u said me about compass was a little metallic instrument which we used @ geometry...
ReplyDeleteWogey now moving in to the finishing part of this article..it was really good..Ya we want love n affection which is more valued than dollars and cents but then whats so similar about all these are u never take any of them to your grave not even love...
But the love which makes people cry when u reach the grave is something outta comparison....
