The Revelation

The revelation

Some poets always say that life is a virtue. Probably true! But I don’t view it this way. I think life is full of surprise which brings to new revelation. And that revelation was my arrival in Sydney for University studies.

This revelation was shaped as a “suicide bomb” to a minority of people around me. I would rather say that it was one of the best surprise that life can bring. Because the more I thrived, the more my self-belief grew. I don’t really care about what some of my folks thinks about it. Honestly for me it was as if I had fetched them a blow behind their back.

And that hurts them. Seeing younger nephew succeeding in his academic life was quite unbelievable for them. Even now they can’t admit it. And now they have closed their big-mouth. The simple fact is that someone else among the cousins had shown that they were wrong all the time. And they are always bluffing about their son and daughter’s academic success.

That’s a sort of reality of life how people live and behave. What’s wrong with the world? Are we in a competing world or may be a family's competition? Oh yeah, I think that would the right definition: Family's competition. Frankly, that’s ridiculous. Would you imagine a title like that “Family Competition” as headline in the newspapers? I would laugh until I piss in my pant.

Before, I was standing on the verge of all these stupid comments. But now I’m behind the scene. Poetically speaking I believe in what Paulo Coelho divulged in his book called ‘Alchemist’; “When days and nights are quite similar to each other people have stopped to catch a glimpse of good things which are presented in their life as much as the sun spell the sky,”

Well, there is no discussing. Life brings you to up-to-the-minute and implausible experience.

Need a bit of a change. Because doing the same shit every week make things seems pretty boring and annoying.
I would rather spend time with my entire passion: Horse Racing. And feels the smell of horses in my local, the Champs-De-Mars...Horse Racing track in Mauritius.
Well....that's a big miss for me since i've been here. But i still keep in touch with my best mate, Rai Joorawon, inset photo- the top professionnal leading jockey in CDM.
This photo reminds me his best ride of the last season during the Mauritius International Jockey day 2004.
As some sports writers says in the soccer jargon; 'when a team plays homeground they are unbeatable'. Does it apply to horse-racing context? Problably! But it doesn't work like that. Simply good horse made good jockey.
Hence.....dealing with horses is a great experiences and sharing a whole sense of close-friendship with Rai was one gift from life.

A thirst for adventure

Becoming a globe-trotter is one big step of a sailor's life but navigating through the ocean is far more a lifelong adventure. Where the sailor feel thirsty of discovering countries and islands during his trip like Vasco Da Gama who discovered a small island on the western coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean.

It was a small dot. The small dot was named Mauritius. Famous for his quietness and beaches, writers and poets grew up in a philosophical and poetic manners like my friend Stefan Hart de Keating. And so many writers such as Malcolm de Chazal, Alain Gordon-Gentil and Robert Edward Hart.

Being part of this world of poets and writers was a sensational feeling. Their inspiration have driven me to my old job as a sport writer where the sense of travelling through events and conference was enormously adventurous.

But every day, every island, every experience seems to bring another revelation in the world of adventure.
