The Converge

Pictures Speak

Indeed pictures speak. We realized the beauty of this saying after we started accepting the challenges here in WordPress. Some of our photographs which probably could never have been shared with family and friends now can actually speak !

Here are two such photographs taken during a train journey from Delhi to Pune. Never knew it could be given a geometrical definition of Converge !!

Our explanation of Converge that could be defined from the photographs goes like this:

“The further you go, the closer you get. Never interfere with the people you love and who loves you. Let them choose their way. They are always there with you.”

The Solitary Castaway

The Challenge : We’ve all been asked what five objects we’d take with us to a desert island. Now it’s your best friend’s (or close relative’s) turn to be stranded: what five objects would you send him/her off with?

The word that drew our attention is ‘stranded’. Interesting! Send our best friend or close relative to a desert island so he/she has no means to move from it? Is it a boon or a bane? And for how long?

Unless he/she is adventurous why would he/she wish to be stranded for no reason? And if he/she is adventurous, that would be a planned journey for him/her. So, assuming the journey to the desert island as one by choice, the necessary and sufficient things would already be taken care of by him/her. What we need to take care of are those things that may be missed out.

On a funny note, even we are not aware what we would send him/her with. So, let us find out together as we type down to come up with a post worth reading! Here it goes,

1. Set of papers sufficient to write down his/her experiences. So, the next time someone is stranded on a desert island, they would know how to deal with such experiences.

2. A box of pen to write down his/her “Island Diary”.

3. Numerable air tight bottles to keep his/her diaries safe from air and water.

4. A bestseller joke book. It is said that a book is one’s best friend. So what can be a better gift than a book to someone we love. Now we could give him/her any book. But what is the use of giving philosophical books to teach him/her lessons of life? He/she would not get out alive anyway! (We are not making fun of him/her. Remember? It was their choice! ) So we would rather choose a best seller joke book so that he/she can spend the rest of his/her life with laughing colours, not regretting the loneliness.

5. Finally, a traveler’s bag to fit in all the above mentioned things! Quite many, isn’t it? He/she will definitely have no idea about these things with which we would bid him/her adieu. So, a bag is a must.

We wish him/her a safe journey and a safe and happy life ahead in the island. Looking forward to those letters in the bottles, so we can come up with yet another post to share his/her experiences! 😉

(This was indeed interesting and we had fun playing the challenge!)
