Somewhere Out There...

Somewhere out there Someones saying a prayer That we'll find one another In that big somewhere out there ---Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram

And so this song goes, a Grammy award winning composition by Linda Ronstadt & James Ingram. "...in that Big Somewhere Out There!!!" So is there really someone saying a prayer out there in this wondrous place around us… Is there???

In today’s world where even a beggar is so busy hauling in the moolah in his own unique way, who would find the time & patience to go praying for a person who is personified only in your woolgathering. It would be like trying to catch the smoke from a freshly lit Cuban – visible yet out of reach, odorous yet untasted…

But the fact remains that even in this manic pandemonium, one is longing for affection and warmth at every stage in life. Be it as a toddler, a kindergarten kid, at school, in college, at work or in your everyday personal and social life. This quest for warmth is what drives us to dream of that special someone who would make us feel wanted;

And when your search zone is the whole wide world, from Mumbai to Kyoto, from Aden to San Diego, one certainly needs more than a google search to zero in… why even google doesn’t give you the best search result on the first page. So the “Big” in the lyrics would actually turn out to be “BIG” in reality, which is put in a beautiful way by the writer.
Here’s to hoping that all find their “special” person, one to whom we can say, “You made my day!” every single day…!
