An overview, at the tip of civilization

I tried to take a quick stock of my life.

I reflected on words as I walked alone in darkness at beaches of Tamil Nadu.

Suddenly it stuck me. I am currently standing at the tip of civilization. On one side I could see the noisy Chennai city in all its glory. The other side was the soothingly sea, seemingly endless. I was in the middle, a very contrasting place to stand- the beaches of sand under the hidden stars.

I tried to trace the horizon but at distance it was too dark to distinguish the sea from the sky. I tried to look through time. Tried to trace my back footsteps that eventually lead me here- to the sound of waves. I fell in love with these words-

"Within the Margin of Error"

I had a good night sleep.
