Title: A Cosmic Ocean
Meet Jishu, a 19-year-old girl.
One early morning,
She, sitting on her balcony
With a hot cup of tea,
Looking at a white rose
But absorbed in thinking
About relativity theory,
Superstring theory,
Vedic cosmology!
Just after a while,
She saw something magical.
The white rose started shimmering;
Emitting snow-white light.
And slowly slowly
Started taking a form.
And within seconds
Awestruck Jishu saw
A dazzling young woman,
Wearing a rose-gold colored saree,
Warm glowing skin tone,
Vibrant black hair,
Soft-angled thick eyebrows,
Angelic smile,
And her radiant eyes
Like windows to her soul!
Jishu went closer to her
Asked her- who’re you?
The pretty beauty said
I am Yugmadrishti.
A time traveler!
I know what you’re thinking
Come with me
I’ll show you something
Interesting and fascinating
Jishu- But Yug… ah
She held Jishu’s hand
And snapped her fingers
Both disappeared.
While traveling in space,
Jishu asked her-
May I Call you Yashti?
She- Why not!
They reached one place
It was a glass room.
Mystical,
Magical,
Unimaginable,
Full of crystal balls.
Yashti picked one ball
And handed it to Jishu
Due to its vivid light
She closed her eyes
And
Came into a garden.
Yellow, red, purple
Flowers everywhere,
Fragrant breeze
Still pond with lotuses.
While wondering gracefully
Lil butterfly caught her eyes
Half inched,
Crimson red,
Dancing on flowers.
After a while
It saw a unique flower
Funnel-shaped
Standing petal on its tip
Aromatic
Magenta colour
Full of nectar.
The tiny one entered the flower,
The flower closed the petal quickly.
That awful moment,
The helpless one
Lost its life.
Was it a flower?
No
It was a delusive leaf
With a petal-like lid.
A pitcher plant!
Jishu tried to open the lid
Her hands- just passing through the plant
But could not touch it.
She screamed with a fit of anger,
Opened her eyes;
The same bright room
Jishu saw Yashti
Hugged her,
Asked her-
What was that?
Yashti replied-
It was you
In your past life.
Jishu confused
Still curious
She was all ears.
Yashti continued-
You were in the fourth dimension!
Here
You have access to your timeline
You see your past- future,
But can’t change anything!
Jishu uttered- OMG,
It’s horrible!
Yashti asked her-
Wanna see the future?
No no no!
Yashti laughed and said-
Then let’s go,
Snapped her fingers
And swoosh...
Now they arrived in a house
Made of orange marbles.
Jishu saw a girl
Same facial features as her
But with four hands.
She was doing some work
On her palmtop,
Eating with one hand.
And ironing the clothes with other.
With no time
They entered another universe
Here Jishu saw a girl
Same facial features as her
But with four hands
And
Two heads
On the front and back side each.
She was dancing flawlessly
Singing effortlessly
And playing guitar vigorously
With her backsided hands
Everything simultaneously.
Yashti snapped her fingers again,
They entered another universe.
Here Jishu saw airships-
Triangular
Ultrasound operated
Special fans at the base!
Then she saw
One mm thin smartphones-
With astrophotography cameras;
Ultrasonic
Ultra elastic
Simply ‘Roll it, Keep it’ phones.
With each tap sound
Made by Yashti,
Jishu was entering strange realms.
Tap-
Here people are thin
With super laminated
Delicate body;
Living underwater!
Tap-
Here people are lustrous.
With a flexible,
Thermal resistant,
Coppery metal body;
Living at hundred-plus degree celsius!
Tap-
Pinkish sky,
Eleven feet people,
Flying here and there,
Just like the submarine
Dives in water
By varying its density!
Tap-
Strange silence
Wonderful sunset
The honey smell of roses
Jishu holding a cup of tea.
Yeah they are back
In her balcony.
Yashti said-
It’s time to say goodbye!
Jishu asked her-
Your universe?
Yashti-
It’s not a physical plane.
It’s a 33rd-dimensional realm.
Jishu-
What’s there?
Yashti-
Beyond your comprehension.
And she vanished
Right in front of her eyes.
Jishu turned her neck
To the right side
To see the white rose
And heard a booming sound,
She opened her eyes,
The alarm was ringing by her bed!
