He waved to the real deers around who were motionless and looking at him, with the curious surprises. He saw the long road ahead, which made him look at his feet with eyes of sympathy, but he smiled. The road looked straight but with a lot of hurdles of different heights, he smiled.He knew it was going to be a long journey, so he kept looking back at times to the distance he covered to keep him going. Soon , he became a runner..... he ran, faster, toppled a couple of times, got up again and ran, swaying his head to the wonderful tunes inside him. He ran dancing, jumping ......... singing. Sometimes he felt the hurdles too short and he smiled broader. For a long time, he did not look around, but when he did, ....he was surprised, the deers were now so indifferent to him, they were grazing in the fields and were looking around without even acknowledging his existence. They were happy, at least they looked happy. This did not affect his smile, but soon he found himself slowing down. Funnily, he was frowning with his smiles now. Not being able to justify the happenings with him, he became restless. He was not at all smiling and once suddenly he just stopped himself. He looked at all the deers around him, he was surrounded by a lot many of them and ........ all of them with a condescending air of superiority. He looked up,closed his eyes, screamed with frustration and urged his heart to tell him what he needed!! one last desire... He opened up and saw just one star in the sky, very bright. He felt the desire inside, it was very clear... he wanted to run again, but this time he wanted run </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >away</span><span style="font-size:85%;">. He saw the end of the road, far ahead.... it looked beautiful from such a distance. He ran......... ran, with an anxiety, with a rage, with an unlimited energy. It was not that easy for him, something was wrong....the more he ran , the more he found difficult to run. To his utter surprise, the road was getting steeper..... he kept on running, but he was crying now, crying his heart out.... he felt he was running up a mountain which was getting higher and higher. He did not stop, did not even stop to think about what to do.... but he cried ....more ... until he threw himself on the ground, surrendering to that strange trap.... he came down rolling, like a marble left from the brim of a bowl. After such a cruel reply of all his queries, he was left alone. He was inanimate for quite a while and when he opened his eyes, with his body lying facing the ground, he did not feel any pain. He turned back, got up and saw all deers smiling at him . The road looked straight again. He looked up, there were infinite stars, but THE bright one was gone. He took a fawn in his hands, hugged it, smiled and started walking towards the end again :).</span>Loud Seekerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07899711613836922731noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113678108845283582.post-54605132048469104442009-02-14T01:58:00.006+05:302009-02-14T05:26:47.381+05:30Gone with the Mind<div style="text-align: justify;">Every time he blinked, he got a glimpse of a very messy graffiti, a web full of motions,sounds, scribbles, faces - smiling,laughing, screaming, crying. Then he closed his eyes...and the scene grew so clear and bigger. He felt like either being pushed to that graffiti wall or the wall just pacing towards him. He felt a jolt and threw his eyes wide open and saw his mother sitting near to him, calmly knitting a sweater for him. He noticed his mother had to wear glasses nowadays. Things were very silent around... he could listen to the watch click and the drop trickle from the bathroom tap. He was sitting on the sofa with his one arm folded, palm supporting his head and the elbow on the armrest.He breathed steadily.....but those stills (when he blinked) sprouted some irritation in him. He took a deep breathe and stood up, asked if his mother wanted something.<br />She smiled and said, " Tea? ... He just smiled. He washed his face and for some mysterious reason stared at his eyes in the mirror, cursed them, but smiled again.<br /><br />He found some trouble with the logistics in the kitchen, but could get quick replies to his doubts by his mother.<br /><br />"oh good :) ", his mother sipped and said.<br /><br />"hmm",he replied and went to his room with his cup of tea.<br /><br />He sat on the window, trying not to think anything, not to let his mind follow any thought and not to let his eyes follow any thing he looks at. He knew he did not want to close his eyes...he sipped slowly and kept on staring at some imaginary point up in the air. Funnily, he wanted his ears also not to follow any sound, though he found it difficult to control them. The sun was setting, and after rolling his eyes to several locations, he looked at the floating dust particles, in the beam of sunlight from the ventilator. With an unwilling frown over his eyes, his mind had already started running....catching up new thoughts.He knew what was going to happen.His thoughts were getting furious very fast...new pictures of the past experiences and "never to happen" fantasies were getting built up. <span style="font-style: italic;">He found himself sitting on a roadside rock with a packet of peanuts, wearing a cowboy hat and the next moment he was running in a marathon</span>. He felt all the emotions together....fear, anger, love, remorse, compassion, passion, pain, but no peace... he searched for it....but all efforts for concentration went in vain, and finally he shook his head in distress. He was blinking faster now and started walking in the room with two fists behind his back. He frowned harder because of a discomforting realization about what he saw....<span style="font-style: italic;">there was something peculiar about the things he saw on the road - all the people passing by , showed just one emotion - suffering, pain.Even in the marathon...he was just about to finish first when he looked back once and stopped altogether. It was not a race....all others were far behind with absolutely no strength to run.<br /><br /></span><br />Then he scanned through all the emotions he thought he was going through - they were an illusion, a physical and mental illusion.There was only one - he felt it very hard now, a deep sorrow. He felt the enormity of an unknown suffering, with a slow sensation down his hollow throat. His blinking stopped and his heart grew steadier.He sat on the corner of his bed, and for the first time, he felt a great desire to dive into that little ocean of pain, to make the feeling grow.He closed his eyes and accepted whatever he saw..... <span style="font-style: italic;">made himself cry beside the graffiti wall</span>. Tears came rolling down his cheeks .... he took a deep breathe and fell on his back keeping his arms open, and the tear drops moved to the side corners of his eyes.<br /><br />His mother came blabbering something about the size of the sweater and stopped at the door. She looked at him, first with surprise then with concern. He did not move....he felt her coming and sitting close to him. She sat there for long.... looking at his tears till his eyes started drying off. He opened his eyes and looked at her...she pressed her hand in his, and left with an affectionate smile. His eyes followed her and then he turned to other side and looked at the wall painting.... it had a drop dripping out of the sun setting into a beautiful valley.He smiled and closed his eyes again, hoping for a better sleep this time.<br /></div>Loud Seekerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07899711613836922731noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113678108845283582.post-63099725860936068512008-10-08T16:01:00.019+05:302008-10-12T16:15:43.771+05:30The screwtable days ;)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDe8IWhugwY9PvvASkhkU8XEX2RO4bWGR6rbGCGDsGUvwsSTZgA-MDirkjzdSvkPZr2GJD_KqPXVlD9nREApSgWyCvpAX6XvP52KH89M_r1cGqMFgVVEFiBC66s_7KqgYtAbqsDlEa7yVR/s1600-h/ist2_3567001-bored.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDe8IWhugwY9PvvASkhkU8XEX2RO4bWGR6rbGCGDsGUvwsSTZgA-MDirkjzdSvkPZr2GJD_KqPXVlD9nREApSgWyCvpAX6XvP52KH89M_r1cGqMFgVVEFiBC66s_7KqgYtAbqsDlEa7yVR/s200/ist2_3567001-bored.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254767209023107298" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >I was feeling delighted.

I just took off from the main gate, kept on walking...exploring. Entered a show room i always wanted to, tried all poses in the trial room with n clothes, pained the helper, and finally converged for a pair of pants after 45 mins. Then the journey continued..... walked for few kilometers more, toppled once, dodged a crash with a bike by one inch, dropped my cell twice and finally got back to campus, a little contented.

My First Flight ... even after recalling hundreds times the fundaes my friend gave for flights, i missed out asking for a window seat and finally got a center one. Later in the flight,the lady sitting before the nearest window would just have slapped me as she thought i was staring at her.Then forgetting something regretfully, "<span style="font-style: italic;">pata hai , u can call the air hostess anytime u want to..just push the button</span>". So overwhelmed,i did not even think about the button, and when i accidently pressed one of the five similar looking buttons, she was there right in front of me with a smiling face, and me, like a dumbo! said...Oh Sorry!!

So, all motherly fundaes of Ek seeti or Do seeti could not help.Ya, gradually you get to know anyway, when to rotate the knob so that the violent steam under the lid is pacified and helps in killing the stuff inside, what color should it finally retain, how much salt (as i have only that as a spice :| ),how much heat, how to use what to clean.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">....new logistics involved in anything u do....new traffic rules... me being caught up amidst the ocean of food products with German names in the market,browsing based on their prices, not the names ......and trying hard to recognize the picture drawn on the pack..shaving more frequently to look relatively white :P.... pretending a happy and heavy smile among the people speaking to themselves in German(ya, owing it to Chen</span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"> nahi, </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">i have experience in that)...... realizing that i was actually checking out the female garment store quite a few times.... happily gulping cheese burger thinking of it as a </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">vegie</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"> thing till i got to know the truth....having one German guy telling me new Tamil words and another teaching me indian cooking.....replying to questions like...</span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">is every bollywood actor a singer too, because they all sing in the movies?..... </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">finding one shabby indian white bag with a Pan Masala advertisement printed on that being used as a fashion product here..... getting irritated on the size and design of the Baths!! as i had to clean one in the absence of any drainage from the floor......trying to stop myself from converting every price tag into rupees, and holding my eyeballs not to pop out on them........ etc etc .</span><br /><br />two more months ahead...<br />for the adventure to go dead....<br /><br />and then again Tag will be a day and Nacht will be a night, and the warm smiles will be regained but with short chuckles of good memories!! :)Loud Seekerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07899711613836922731noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113678108845283582.post-21130425004016469472008-04-01T15:13:00.007+05:302008-04-02T07:20:04.348+05:30Melted<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvTbpRiYSJOXwdyUnz7BYoXsxx9uWnFbg3SMjvnH4H6cn6pCuSAqNYKm4tWB7v-djLy1hKPxADgT6Ymy7T7HOBgPwU5f1Kb51mff5y_imbILCL1tShDytuJp2mqMeZasWC3qy1Wvdzm34t/s1600-h/sweat2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvTbpRiYSJOXwdyUnz7BYoXsxx9uWnFbg3SMjvnH4H6cn6pCuSAqNYKm4tWB7v-djLy1hKPxADgT6Ymy7T7HOBgPwU5f1Kb51mff5y_imbILCL1tShDytuJp2mqMeZasWC3qy1Wvdzm34t/s200/sweat2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184307914816803650" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Hell it was, got fully steamed with my own sweat!!! roasted and grilled , and even i can add few more verbs (one is in the title though :P) Cursed the full Shirt i was wearing and god! i just missed my half and sleeveless cotton T s.

We were about to start preparation for the fourth day of the seventh battle of modern times,the end semester, right here in IIT M. My self and a friend of mine took his notebook to begin with,which had -<span style="font-style: italic;">Hariram, Totaram</span> written on the cover, the name funny enough to make you imagine a soft and flowery literature inside. But when we flipped it over, it was all dark and demoniacal. . Both of us saw each other and could not find appropriate words to speak and stared back at the book. And it began......Combustion, Flames,Equations, Detonations........scripted in more than a Hundred pages. Slowly we flipped through, more than an hour passed, and i was still trying to visualize a Flame drawn with a blue pen in colors, when a third guy came. He sat on the bed while we were on the chairs, and pained from his own life, uttered a few irrelevant words. Then he asked what we were doing. In reply, we gave one or two technical terms for the name of the course followed by a full line of pain and disgust.He said," oh! you poor duals!!<br /><br />When i recall what happened next, it shows up in slow motion and blurred...<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">abusing him and giving all sort of justifications for me being a dual,spitting out advantages for being a dual....his laughter....me running short of words over and over again....my friend pulling me back to read....flames looked more distorted then.....</span><br /><br />that day later i kept on retrospecting what actually made me into that situation,confused, full of rage for nothing and thought about the phone call on which my counselor convinced me to take mech dual in iitm....the four years, the slides,the pseuds, pseudos, the cuppers,....friends, the fun, the fight i had a day before with one of them....i was just scrolling down the memory lane when Gtalk pinged<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">what is the velocity profile in a turbulent premixed flame!!</span><br /><br />i just flew to the bed to catch the <span style="font-style: italic;">Hariram</span>, and struggled to get the page, it was a long way to go to reach it after what i had completed. I saw the time, it was 12....then there was a knock on the door,i opened<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">hey! wake me up at 6 da<br /><br /></span>i could not say anything but to laugh at, three more windows pings as soon as i laughed....<br /><br />the next day, in the exam i got combusted fully, found myself sitting on the flames as they just want to burn me down to ashes.....<br /><br />oh ya!!! ashes,smoke---pollution, B slot,air pollution control :(((((((((<span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br /><br />Does it need to be ironic enough!!!!!the words we speak , things we recall, nowadays,someway or the other relate to really shitty things,things we hate....<br /><br />It all ended today, the last one,and knife edge on the neck finally pierced through.

He stumbled at few words and looked back at the slide to recall…..but his stare did not bother me, in fact I stared back, because it was at least the hundredth time it had happened. Unfortunately this time I was at the first bench, so had to keep my novel really low under the bench (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lol</span>) as his one hand, with a gold ring, which was just somehow breathing under his thick finger’s radial pressure, was on my bench. At times I turned back to look what others were doing. There were four, two of them absorbed deeply into their FICTIONS, one in deep sleep and one just waking up. Towards my side, one bench across, there were two: one not even thinking of mitigating his wide smile, and the other one lost in his day dreams, with eyes wide open stuck at one point. All of a sudden he shouted,” Sir, what is the meaning of the last sentence? , which gave a jerk to our sleeping man and passed on a current in “Sir’s” mind as he explained the full slide just a minute back. When he saw all his pain going in vain, anger and grudge made him ran out of more words and the scolding we waited for weeks just grew up to a broken sentence, which was absolutely of no credit for our Day Dreamer and he was back to his dream.<br /><p><br />Back to square one, new slide, he came towards my bench, leaned on it looking past my head and I was also starting a new chapter. Again I turned back to see if there was something new. Yes, there was, all four were sleeping. Then our “Sir” tried to recall the name of any one of them to, u know what? To wake them up!!! He succeeded and called up a name, one head raised and the worst of all happened. He threw up a question on his expressionless and surrendered face and finding no respect for his question as well as for him, he himself surrendered and told the answer. After a minute, all the four were in deep sleep.<br /></p><p><br />It ended on the <span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">THANKYOU</span></span> slide, but I got a feeling of dread as I tried to imagine the full season of the same class yet to happen!!!<br /></p><p><br />May be one day things will change,<br />He will know things better,<br />He will speak interestingly,<br />We all will try to listen, with hand cupped around our faces(:P),<br />We will enjoy the class,</p><p>Then that Wide Smile will be justified and we will be expert in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Solaar</span> technology!!!</p><p><br />Or may be one day we will accept the Truth that all the above hopes will NOT come true :( !!<br /></p>Loud Seekerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07899711613836922731noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113678108845283582.post-83275876669274459392007-09-27T17:20:00.000+05:302007-10-22T19:07:07.241+05:30the perpetual call :(huh...it just crossed all limits of torture for me.....ten calls to me in one morning and even one to our prof in the class.<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >9940012600</span>, this is the one i am talking of.This has not only been treated as "the number" all around me, but is a cause of so many nuisances.Hell!! a day before i grudgingly decided to listen whatever the operator(female voice) speaks.I pressed 2 also for listening in english. I decided to accept the offer of hello-tunes also.But then, the list played all the tamil songs.Packed it and tried to have quick nap as it was 45 mins to my afty class.Worst was yet to happen ,when i just dozed off, which changed :( to :((((( Two more calls in 15 mins!!!!!<br /><br />Earlier Air - Hell (name changed - a justifiable change) used to have a different number for torturing which i stored under the name "pain".But now..thanks to the frequency they have been calling with....u just got to have a quick glance on the receiving call, numbers 00 in the end and one 6 somewhere in between and a gut feel of the impending non sense will make it happen!!!<br /><br />I doubted whether this post itself is justified or not, whether this number also can be blocked or not….so I called 121, had to listen carefully to the operator to reach up to the “customer care executive” and grumbled like anything to block this number. With no surprise the reply was ridiculous.”Sir, please type DND and send it to 121 and this number will be deactivated within 45 days!!!!<br />What could I say more…….<br /><br />LOL for those guys who pay for getting their missed calls list(when the cell is switched off)!!!<br /><br />But one thing to be acknowledged, the company follows the motto very well...<span style="font-style: italic;">EXPRESS YOURSELF</span> :)Loud Seekerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07899711613836922731noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113678108845283582.post-49178151051809856782007-08-27T21:16:00.000+05:302007-08-27T22:32:57.724+05:30Random thoughts..... , credit: IIT<span style="font-weight: bold;">[</span><span style="font-size:85%;">i know that the title is the same as infinite other titles in the blogger circle,but still.....may be this shows the lack of creativity and innovation...well then see the last two words of the title :P</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">]<br /><br />Mind bustles and hustles....just for the one day...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We will wait for the day....that one da</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">y</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">...<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHaxQIG3QeiheL8IwkhjBDeWNUzDcDwEjON-ZMEphkDL49uNwurwDvAAsY8wWszdaBuyeCbjx7usrBGszZzfC73Y06rGJie6oOIVun-f62JYpgRfnrg-_-Q29l5YMNp9viv54LYb_bxba1/s1600-h/url.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Saw a lot, learnt a lot, felt a lot…..and the top of all… grew a lot. There was a time when we had almost the same world as today, same happenings, but still our face had an oblivious smile .Keeping the same situations, today, we growl and grumble about each and every thing we come across.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">They call us….new generation….”the” next generation…..then the mind bustles about a lot of questions….does ‘new’ mean ‘better’ here???? Does ‘next’ mean a step up the ladder or down????.....okay…..all the same…we are growing…..that means we have<span style=""> </span>at least one division …where …results are positive. Again , that is not the multidisciplinary result.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">When I ponder over all these …..one conclusion I am able to draw(of course…differs from person to person)…..over centuries there was not as much temporal growth as it’s been over few decades. Now if we have got a sudden change and hike in a particular area (development of the science, proliferation in the materials of life, ability to curb anything which is not desirable .All in all, being the master of<span style=""> </span>earth ,or may be of the near space also).…..there must be a lot of decline elsewhere. Let me elaborate….as our aim was to grow in a particular direction ……we focussed on that…and eventually we ended up having non-uniform growth in different directions. In fact, quite possibly, reverse growth in some directions.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I just switched on the nice 20<sup>th</sup> century “information box”(what they call as TV) in front of me, what is there ??? One reporter babbling something having a mob on his/her background. A bunch And a voice comes from my back….<i style="">Oh God!...Not Again</i> .I turn around and ask my mother,” What’s the matter??</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Din’t you see that??? <span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Oh…that TV news…I saw.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You don’t seem to be bothered..</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Mother….there is no need to worry…we cant help it, that’s what happens day after day.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Yaa…..you next generation…</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">So, i think it’s more clear ……the decline thing I was talking about….Both the Mob in the news and the conflict among the two different viewers are the results of the decline. The generation changed, lifestyle changed, the thoughts changed, views changed…..and what about our ch____ter!! All of us saw the change and also felt it…but our fathers saw the direction of change…were upset to see it.. At times, they were worried also, but as the times passed by ….the disappointment died out.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Actually , I thought all these observations are worth discussing. Because we are the one where the transformation happened, I can imagine the next generation, they are not going to be much different from us!!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">If the words above sound too mushy!!!...take this.. <img src="http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/aetsch/cheeky-smiley-013.gif" /><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p> <span style=""><span style=""><br /></span></span>Loud Seekerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07899711613836922731noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113678108845283582.post-43720849597096444762007-03-24T14:01:00.000+05:302007-03-25T02:08:12.986+05:30The DreamA few seconds back i was editing my profile........it really paid off ..as i got to know my Sign of Zodiac after finishing it.I always remained confused between Cancer and Leo...because i started my life on July 21......which is the date on the boundaries of the two signs and the local tabloids don't take these dates seriously which is the source of my confusion.<br /><br />Okayy.....so here is sth worth reading again...<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >F</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">ootprints</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ElReMMS8GftDDGKuZuOjgWqhkU5W7VUmSUIMUAxjeUTS_4GRPUWUyq5essVltVSLHwukg-1SXMSvQ33_jhr_SlrtoPdO7uRYwYj_wRN9WBbAEPkvA-9IlMDwdvSjXjbPHHLygfg6zmiE/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ElReMMS8GftDDGKuZuOjgWqhkU5W7VUmSUIMUAxjeUTS_4GRPUWUyq5essVltVSLHwukg-1SXMSvQ33_jhr_SlrtoPdO7uRYwYj_wRN9WBbAEPkvA-9IlMDwdvSjXjbPHHLygfg6zmiE/s200/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045411558291910370" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><p><br /></p></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">O</span></span>ne night a man had a dream.He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><p></p></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">W</span></span>hen the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
