Sikandar

Its one of the names i have a fascination for... from the Indian version of Alexander's name to Anil Kapoor in Trimurti, it conveys (to me) someone who can conquer all, someone who is on a plane above normal humans... the reason why the name is the topic of discussion is because i happened to dine in a restaurant by that name sometime back..
while i dont consider myself competent enough to put together a food review, i can safely say that it lived up to its name..of course, i could have been extremely biased because it offered me the opportunity to indulge in another of my fascinations.. sitting at a height and watching humanity move along on the roads below... walking, driving, just moving on, into the night...
i bet thats one of God's favourite views..wonder what freud would have made out of this... a desire to be above current levels in life? a need to be objective all the time? at a subconscious level, perhaps these could be factors, but at the conscious level, to me, it is a humbling experience, like looking at a starlit sky and us humans below, because it is moments like these that seem to tell me that i am a small part of a huge canvas, an experience that i have no idea about...
until next time, 'We are all made of stars'......
