Capture me this

Blessed with five senses is a gift that goes unacknowledged most of the time.

When I read about Gandhari who voluntarily blindfolded herself, and saw ads of Rakesh Sahrma trying to explain colors to a blind kid there was slight unexplained cringe somewhere inside.

Cameras capture the view and years after visit to a exotic location, the album or the website can still bring the view back. Recorded ocean sounds and the early morning irritating chirps capture the aural aspect of a trip. What about the smell of freshly cut coconut along with the taste? What about the texture of sand and the breeze through the once fertile patch on head.

Till the matrix becomes reality the faraway lands beckon again.
