I was in bike on the back seat and I had this sudden realisation of one philosophy. There was a big lorry, mostly cement or something but it was covered in big tarpaulin like that. I was casually checking my phone and clicking bird photos above or some usual stuff a pillion would do. As I looked at the lorry, two leaves fell from it and I kept looking at it if it will go under that lorry tyre or come under our vehicle tyre. And then it hit me, wait, leaves doesn't grow on lorry, then where did it come from? I deduced the leaves maybe got stuck in to lorry from a tree some time ago but it fell now after some time. So, I continued thinking, the leaf wasn't of lorry load. It didn't belonged there. And it didn't end up there. It was there for a moment and that time, two lines from geetha saara poem I read long ago when I was in school came to my mind. Geetha saara is probably a 14 line poem which had extracts from bhagavad geetha. It had something like you come from nothing and you take away nothing. And it summed up the lorry situation as clean as one can write. The lorry did not bring the leaves and the lorry did not take away the leaves. It was there for brief amount of time. And I was awestruck at myself that I thought of philosophy at unusual place like this
Further thinking about, I gathered info that philosophy is like a heart attack, it can occur anywhere. Because these two songs prove the point I'm trying to make. One is item song of aindirtha ray from kaddipudi kannada movie and another is disco song from Kaho Naa Pyaar Hain. Soundarya Samara song written by Yogaraj Bhat, and impeccable singing by Song Nigam, and it takes some time to explore philosophy and it goes like "Kaledukollalu berenu illa illi, Iruvudane Padedu Thirugi Kaledukollo, kaledu padedukolli. It basically says there's nothing to lose here as you have not attained anything. Get what is here and lose and and then get it again. It's rough draft translation, but you got the point right, it applies beautifully to lorry incident I saw this evening. Another like from Kaho Naa Pyaar Hain is khaali haath aayenge hum khaali haath jaayenge, bas pyaar ki do meethe bol something something it goes. He says we bring nothing and we take away nothing except for some memories or moments of.love or something like that. Yet the point stands.

I was discussing Ava Enna song from Vaaranam Aayiram with Grok earlier this morning and we talked lot about love life and other things and the fact that I found philosophy or should I say philosophy found me on the middle of road is both funny and deep for me.
