The climb

As it happens almost always with Ammukutti's grand laid plans, this one is also biting the dust.

But today happens to be one of those days where you are so restless about something for which you are actually absolutely helpless.

A dear one's dear one has suffered heart attack and is in Intensive Care Unit and she just needs to ... wait..

That moment when you come tumbling down from the hill of your aspirations, your dreams, your ambitions, your insecurities, your fears, your self doubts, your sorrows and your rare joys and look around those who cheered you on when you were getting on that hill that only YOU were meant to scale. That one moment of wonder of what would happen to you when they all start the descent from their hills and become lost to that land beyond the horizon. She is yet to acknowledge the question, let alone, answer.

In her mind, she has only prepared till the climb - she keeps on climbing that hill whose summit is lost to the clouds while all those angels cheer her on from their hills...

Every now and then, she pauses, looks around, nods to the angels and continue to climb, climb, climb.. Maybe thats all she can do and thats the key to the joke she is supposed to get at the end of the climb...
