BURJ KHALEEFA--DREAMING HIGH
I passed by Burj Khaleefa in Dubai several times yesterday, while traveling to various destinations with Shibu, Jeny, Sanju and Shon. This tallest building in the world fascinates me like anything and I want to have a glimpse of it every time I am here. It symbolizes the urge of human being to rise up to the sky so as to reach out to the unknown recesses of the universe. This insatiable quest has been alive in the humans from the beginning of history. Several world class artists have expressed this angst through their spirited creations-- The Republic, Utopia, Arcadia, New Atlantis, Brave New World and so on. We find many heroes of Valmiki, Kalidasa and Shakespeare wandering to many regions of the world and beyond. Hemingway’s Old Man goes out into the deep sea for eighty days in search of the biggest catch ever. My novel "Super Souls Revisited " is also an attempt in this line. As long as there is life in a being, this journey to the unknown will continue. We go passing the space to unravel the hidden mysteries and one day there will be a new Burj Khaleefa that can really kiss the skies and still we will be searching beyond that point.
