and her utilizing us as her Mediums of Expressions, particularly while writing and performing Music-both of which she loved so much!
Thus, though she was physically departed, her pleasant, serene, smiling face, her Yogic Posture, her long long petal-like fingers, her emotionful but equlibrium-born balanced mind, her sharp, quick, distinctive and discriminative intellect, her Music-craving heart and above all her highly elevated Selfless soul---these all could not get seperated from us!
THOSE RARE, SYMBOLIC FINGERS........!
While giving my last bid of farewell to Parul's body, I was looking at her long, petal-like, delicate fingers........ and suddenly I was flashed back at her very first appearance on this earth at the time of her birth (of course, a few hours after when I had returned from my the then journey) Yes, the same blooming and smiling face, long indicative fingers............ they were foretelling and speaking of their high Artstic and Elevating achievements in offing. I could then foretell through intuition without consulting any Astrologer or Palmist that this girl should become a good great Artist and Writer....... And the span of hər 25 Years, lifetime proved this......... The same fingers went on performing Bharatnatyam, Playing Sitar and Penning the Articles............all of very high order. The Weekly Pages of The City Tab's Music & Art Criticism are the living examples of this... .... Yes, this was worthy use of these delicate fingers, yet best usage of which was meant for her Practice in Yoga and Meditation which she daily performed pointing towards the higher plan-- the Divine! She indicated this Yoga-born Divine gesture through her Dancing, Sitar - Playing, and Writing fingers. More so, when they never went on pointing to the personal faults of others, but went on introspecting her own Self. This was a rare, very rare feature of her Symbolic fingers.
