Adult Pacifiers!!!

Hello there. I am here again with yet another topic.

What comes to mind when we talk about PACIFIERS???

Yeah I know a very sweet infant with a pacifier in his/her mouth. That’s the best image that comes to mind and leaves us with a smile. The pacifier is always nearby the kid. Like ALWAYS!!!!

As a parent it’s the first thing on our list when we start shopping for the would be newborn.

And believe me when I say ‘All Parents are the same’ 😉

As God is our creator (or our parent), even he thought of creating our PACIFIERS before creating us. He knew very well how whinny we could get at times 😜

That is why God created a pacifier for us – NATURE

I understand with all the hype of developed nations, urbanization etc. we are left very little to be surrounded by our pacifier. So unlike the infants, we adults are away from our pacifiers. And unless and until things go out of our control we never think of going to our PACIFIER…Like just imagine the irony – kids get their pacifier so as not to stress them out and we go to our pacifiers when we have stressed ourselves to the thresh hold point. (Hmmm strange….)

I would like to share a story of one such non planned visit to my PACIFIER ☺

I was out of Mumbai on a vacation. And we decided to go to a fort. I am not of a historic kind of a person but still I went. It was a tiring journey to reach the fort.

But as soon as I was there, I experienced a sudden kind of sereneness. Everything that was going on inside me (the anxiety, the worry of the future, things not going right in my life) just took a backseat. I couldn’t understand it at first. Like all these thoughts were vacuumed out of me. Leaving me with a so much empty place I couldn’t understand what to do? Well, of course, this happened for the 1^st time in my life. I was totally confused. With this funny feeling we saw the whole fort. It was just SUPERB!!!! The view that we saw from the top was mesmerizing. It showed the creativity of our creator. As usual we clicked like tons of selfies and pics like any other tourist.

While on our way back down, we just sat at a point which was cliff and below there were ocean waves hitting the shore. The sounds were so mystical. The wind blew in our faces. At that moment I got the ultimate déjà vu of already being to such place in my thoughts. I am always in love with sitting at a sea shore and watch the water for hours and hours. For me it was literally, clinically soothing. I had a high which no synthetic drugs could give. I felt that this should not end. THIS IS LIFE!!!! I was smiling uncontrollably and without reason. (Well, if I reacted this way in city, people would definitely enroll me in an asylum). But the experience was overwhelming.

It was my PACIFIER calling out Bollywood style –

Dekho maine dekha hai yeh ek sapna,

Phoolon ke sheher mein ho ghar apna,

Kya sama hai, tu kaha hai

Main aayi aayi aayi aayi

Aaja…… 😉
