A Mirrored Life

I came across this pic on Rwitajit’s Flickr Account and couldn’t resist writing down what I felt about the pic.

The reflection. It is not natural. What could it mean?

I look into the mirror and see myself. I stretch forward, trying to ‘touch’ myself – trying to approach myself, discover myself. The image stretches his hand out as if… asking for something.

When you try to discover yourself the entity inside you asks you for something. And unless you can give it, the barrier of the mirror stops you. What is this something?

Well, well! Too much philosophy! Must get down to do some work now!
