The Man and The Sea

Yesterday, I watched Pirates of Carribean. I don't think it's a well made movie, but anyway it got me thinking about THE SEA.

And The SEA is really something to think over. Though Sea has excited and attracted me many a times. But, yesterday I decided - though I have decided it yesteryear also- that out of sixty something years of my life I would spend around one year - rather half a year- of my life in the SEA.

Sea is something that has to be seen. Nothing on this earth has concealed so much mystery, so much potential history as the sea. In fact what is earth but the sea. It would be really a shame for a person-- I would say any living thinking terrestrial creature-- of land if he does not visits the sea. Sea expands over 66% percent of earth's surface, and for a living creature to spend a considerable amount of time on land and not to visit sea is unacceptable. It's lack of self knowledge. Being a member of the family earth and not knowing anything about the sea- the most prominent and mysterious member of it is like being alive but yet not knowing who are you- At least at physical level.

Yes, the sea is something that deserves to be explored. And it's also not that it's not something that has not maddened and challenged human imagination. There has been plethora of literature on it, scinetific as well as non-scientific. Pleople who think they observe, experience, feel something that others might miss, have never missed to write or say a word or two on it. 100 years ago The sea inadvertently used to be an integral part of any adventure fiction. That's how we had this pirates of carribean. The sea in fact is more fictitous than any fiction. And writing an illogical or baseless story like that we show our respect to it's unsolvable mystery, it's incomprehendible ways, and it's serene beauty. We accept that we don't know a thing about it. I have read somebody writing about the movie Jaws by Spielberg that after watching this movie the entire generation of Americans were afraid of coming to sea shore, let alone enjoying the beach. And that I believe is true tribute to The Sea's grandeur. Anybody who has been to The sea, and tried to feel it might have realized what is it. If you have felt the roaring of sea in the darkness of night you know it. Imagine being in the sea in the middle of a dark night all alone in a small boat. Leaving beside the millions of million number of species running randomly in the sea who has potential to end your life in millionth of second ,I believe a sudden roar of the sea in the darkess of night is enough to stop the heart beat of most courageous man ever born. The sea is killing but yet it's beautiful.
Rest later on.
