I live in two worlds.
One is, the one I see through my specs. The practical, pragmatic, grim one. 
The other is without specs where Everything is so different with my naked eyes.  And surprisingly, I realize today, that this is far more coherent! 
It’s like a whole new world.
A world with no boundaries.
A world where everything is blurred yet defined so simply.
A world where everything is in terms of red blue yellow and green, splashed against the backdrop of dark velvet night.
A streetlight is not a streetlight anymore. It’s just a yellow twinkle.
A vehicle is not a vehicle anymore. It’s just a speeding away noisy red blob.
A tree is not a tree anymore. It’s just a rustling green.
The wind is not wind anymore. It’s just an invisible tickle.
The moon is not a moon anymore. It’s just a silent white shining thing.
The stars, well, the stars never change, I guess.  Still, the silent smiling hopes of the sky.
And people? Everyone is without a face, just an indistinct chatter. Just like the Ruskin bond’s story we grew up with- ‘the face in the dark’. It used to scare the wits out of me. My 10 year old brain used to frown at that time, why did he write a ghost story after all?  Today I realize, people without faces are people without prodding opinions and prejudiced judgements. and thats not scary.. thats actually comforting!
And all the dull dark corners that creep in the finite world , do not exist today! 
The melancholy thoughts are cleverly camouflaged with the background. What more can I ask for?

Sometimes, there is a more unorthodox way to find some other world as well.
Brimming the eyes with tears!
No, trust me, it works.
Tears provide the much needed lubricant to slip off to a different world!
And then, everything gets inconceivable and hence incredible!
And sometimes, if I try enough, i can see an entire new kaleidoscope from those colourful blobs!
Sigh!
But people are right .
its not actually seeing anything.
In accordance with my new year’s resolution, I don’t really expect everyone to be able to see what I see without really seeing.
People are are right when they say I can not see distant things.
But then, philosophically speaking, who really can? That’s why I have been prescribed specs.
To keep me off my other realm.  I know I am not making much sense .. but an escape from the reality, no matter how rarely found , is always welcome in my any world!
