6.What Else?

What else required?
Lot more confined to one main objective. ![]() I am glad to disclose little more, which I hope they will not be boring. They are within my topic “Daydreams”. Briefly the truth is most of my leisure time is still devoted for daydreaming, while lying pensively on my easy chair, kept at one corner of the veranda facing attractive scene of the wide stretch of marshy land in front of my dwelling, bounded by clearly visible Colombo- Negombo highway. In the evening I observe with admire, bunches of multi-coloured misty clouds floating above the area, along which I feel I am also floating towards a wonderful dream world. Few years back, my wife-Neeta, who was my shadow throughout, left me alone for ever due to a sickness noticed suddenly. I spent all I had saved to save her life, but our fate did not favour us. When she was in the operating theatre undergoing a major operation lasting more than six hours, I was continuously treading in the corridor, opposite the operating theatre of Navaloka Hospital, Colombo, Sri Lanka to this side and that side, thinking, thinking and thinking. Thinking what? I don’t know. Though I was thinking, there was nothing at all in mind. It was entirely a vacuum. Suddenly the Surgeon – Maiya Gunasekera peeped through one of the windows of the theatre, called me and told me something. I could not and I did not want to grasp what he told.
Anyway I felt, it was a severe breakthrough of my life. Sorrow lyrics were emanating in my mind with corresponding melodies which produced six more songs to my album, few months after the death of Neeta. I have got only one child – a daughter who in turn also blessed with only one child – a daughter. When I leave this world one day, she will be left alone without parents and any other own family members. It is obvious that, her husband, my son-in-low will take care of her. Even then, I bear an everlasting frustration for my inability to offer her own family member, though it was beyond my control. From the present job I am engaged, I am trying hard to save for their future. Apart of that, I am lost in my daydreams searching some other legitimate ways of building wealth for them, though it may not be essential. It is my anxious to contribute some more to secure their future, when I am even no more in this world. |
