A Cacophony of Enchantment

Tushar Prabhoo August 30, 2023 3 minutes read
Many years ago my commute involved going down the Malabar Hill decline through a secret passage filled with hidden gems! Today when I have to change my walking path, I walk from the base of this tiny hill up to the summit where I find even more precious treasures! The peacocks here appear in front of you, only if they want to share a peak with you. Just like the opportunities that are hiding in the nooks and crannies of my life. As I stride along, today without the distraction of music, I see a drenched bird perched high up on the tree far and deep inside the green canopy. I was already dancing with joy, satisfied with the sight of a single beauty, although it was so far! Moving further on I saw lush feathers hanging from a tree, so perfectly camouflaged. I really thought maybe this one was seen only by me. The passers-by felt no awe or wonder as much as me. But this beauty called out, a loud cry, blessing me from the tree above! Somewhere I felt that my opportunities are also probably hanging right above me, for me to just pluck them from the tree of life. If it’s just that easy I am ready to take that leap of faith. To wait for the day where I witness the regal dance of a hundred peacocks dancing in tandem with the neighbouring boughs as if they were posing together. That’s what it will look like when all my dreams and wishes come to be fulfilled. 

And as I journeyed downwards, I saw long veils that the trees wore looking nothing less than the illusion of that marvellous creature stopping me in my track multiple times.

But then the rain poured harder, making everything around me crystal clear and green. My soul was drenched with sheer joy and I felt the urge to soak in some more, and so I slowed my pace and began to feel revived, inspired and reborn! It felt like a new dawn and just then something within me awakened. A voice that had woken up after a very long slumber, that wanted to cry out loud and create an enchanting cacophony with my feathered friend.

Still further down, another one of these majestic creatures awaits me, filling me with still so much glee, I could hardly contain it. And so I take this enriching experience as a sign of something more deep, more meaningful to turn it into a life changing story.
