An Ode to Humanity

I have often felt that generations of humanity run within me. When I decided to make my foray into the blogosphere, I thought I should put up these thougts in my blog, so we can find out if it's another common phenomenon like the all-too-familiar deja vu !
O'er the green mountains I sing this ode,
The song of renewal and life
Sung by generations manifold
The fabric of my song carries strains of lore
Yet it is to me, my inimitable score
Being from Kerala ( seductively christened as God's Own Country ), I often find myself speeding across green hills, lush paddy fields, serene waters and other visual treats that only a tropical land can offer. Each time, I'm inevitably transported to a different time-space. Then I see the years fly by, and the horizons change. Enterprise of man, and his intellect, transform entire ecologies and the skyscape of a modern city appears. In that one moment, entire generations of enterprise and experience seem to have run within me, leaving me empowered - and a quiet confidence takes over, a confidence that we as a human race will rise to the occasion when crisis hits. Will we ? Do let me know what you think !
