I fall in that category of persons for whom it is a treat to be under the open sky at night and silently watch the sky lit up by the twinkling stars. Its been a thing since childhood, probably just a random habit that whenever i watch the moon, my eyes immediately wander here and there looking for the dhruv tara (north star). While the moon is busy revolving around the earth, the north star remains fixed in an alignment with the earth’s axis. The position of the other stars and the moon change but the dhruv tara remains glued to its place. When the moon is bright it becomes a bit difficult to notice it but when theres just a thin silver line left of the moon you can easily find it shining bright as always. It’s strange that they have absolutely no connection, of course except the fact that they both belong to the sky, but how in my memory they’ve always been together.
Come to think of it, togetherness need not actually be one-with-another kind of a thing. The‘with’ is not that important. Or is it? Perhaps,one-and-another defines better.
All am sure of is that together the two make my sky and if there comes a night when i look up in the sky and am unable to find my north star, i think the sky would be left unilluminated.
