Disappearance

Imagine a situation where you are the only person who could see and talk to a soul in human form whose actual body is in coma. Intriguing isn’t it?
It is something that I watched on tv. An Indian movie about this woman whose soul left her body and wandered around. Only this guy could see her. At the end of the movie, the girl recovered after much sacrifices made by the guy. But here’s the catch, she can’t remember him after that. That scene was really painful. But the movie made me pondered.

What if you wake up one day to realize the person you knew didn’t exist. I imagine if that person was me, disappearing from the minds of everyone, except for those who matter to me. I imagine if those people wake up one day and they found out that I don’t exist. They come to my house to look for me and my family would explain that no such person exist in the family. They would search their phones for my picture but it also disappeared. Find my profile on Facebook and yet no such person exist. It would bring them to a state of terrible shock. Even messages on their phone wouldn’t store the conversations from the past. They might feel that it’s a dream, but many days passed and yet no sign of me everywhere. But what would they need and want from me? What would they sacrifice to have me back into their life?

Here comes the interesting part, one month from that incident, I reappear and the traces of me would be present on the Internet, on their phones and most importantly my existence would bring a greater meaning. It would totally be a mysterious incident that they could never solve by using their head.
It could all be a setup, but the purpose of the disappearance is a journey of self discovery, an experience which is unforgettable beyond doubt.

Sometimes I just want to disappear and see how that can impact the people around me. Our existence to people might be important only at a certain period, and after the period ends, we are if no use to them. But that doesn’t mean that we are useless, that is part and parcel of life. We can’t be present at very episode in a person’s life, everyone has a different journey, we cannot expect people to walk the path with us all of the time. We have to understand that separation is only in the physical form. The ones we love and care about might not be with us during our crucial times, but they are there spiritually, giving us motivation because these are the people that matter to us, they are the ones we think of when our difficult times comes knocking. Without them, we would lose the battle before even putting our breath into it.
