It was a bright sunny day.
I was sitting in the Kanakakunnu Palace grounds in Trivandrum when this
whole conversation took place.
Feeling bored,
I was fiddling around with my phone when I thought I would try out this new App
called WeChat. Nobody would have
guessed that I was having such an interesting conversation. There was nothing special about that
day. The sky was blue and the white
fluffy clouds with grey painted in here and there slowly drifted by. The leaves were rustling and there were the
usual love birds walking hand in hand or lying down here and there whispering
sweet nothings which no one else could hear.
Occasionally they smiled and laughed, happy and care free, not bothered
about what was going on in the world. I
sat there alone.
I was at peace enjoying the beauty of nature and the serenity and maybe a bit pensive. Of late I had begun thinking about the meaning of life. My life!! Many times I would awake at night thinking about what I was doing with my life. Here I was trying to find out what I should do. That’s when I turned on WeChat and who is there but Jose Silva. Was this a coincidence? Jose Silva was the founder of the Silva Method, a mind control technique. He wanted to chat with me. I’m copy pasting our conversation here. Make what you will of it:

Was this a coincidence? Jose Silva was the founder of the Silva Method, a mind control technique. He wanted to chat with me. I’m copy pasting our conversation here. Make what you will of it:
Jose Silva: Hi there !!
Me: Jose !! I can’t believe this.
JS: What?
Me: The fact that u
are online right now and want to talk to me.
JS: Y??
Me: I was just
pondering about life. And here you
are. Is this a coincidence?
JS: No. There are no co incidences in life. Someone once said that when the student is
ready, the master appears.
This was heavy stuff.
Me: Ok.
JS: So what were you
pondering about?
Me: Life in general.
Actually my life.
JS: Yr life…wat about
it?
Me: I mean the
purpose. Of late I’ve been thinking it’s
meaningless.
Js: Every life has
meaning and purpose. You just got to
find out
Me: But how?
JS: Ask yr self when
you are in the state of Alpha.
Me: Alpha?
JS: Go to level using
the 3- 2-1 method and ask yr self or your councillors.
Me: The 321
method? What s that?
JS: That is the Silva
method, which I discovered in the 40’s.
Each human being has immense potential and latent talents which will
come out when in a relaxed state of mind.
I was intrigued.
Me: And…?
JS: Practice the
Silva method and you will know.
I was now wide eyed, curious. I wanted more. And who were the
councillors? But I didn’t have a chance
to ask that coz suddenly Kalpana Saroj joined our group.
KS: Will it
help me in my business?
JS: Oh yes. Not only your business but every aspect of
your life.
I felt something deep stir within me. I was touched. Here was a Mexican- American sharing his
wisdom with me or rather us. I felt
like seeing him. Hearing his voice.
KS: Jose
could you come on video?
After a small pause
an image flickered and I heard ""No problemo"". It was him.
He had a Mexican drawl. Suddenly
there he was. Crystal clear. He looked kind and genial. There was something paternal about him. He smiled .
I beamed. He then said. You must practice deep relaxation. And then he went off video.
But now that Kalpana Saroj was here, I had many questions
for her too!! It was a golden
opportunity not to be missed.
Me: Kalpana, how did
u do it? It looked like all odds were against you and still u made it!! Big!!
KS: I had no
options but to go up from where I was.
And each time I achieved something , I discovered a new goal and went
after that. So here I am today.
As I thought about what she said
I suddenly had an urge to shake my phone. I held it my hand and shook it
vigorously. And guess what? Who comes online but the King of Pop
himself!! Michael Jackson. I had forgotten that when you shake the phone
while using WeChat you will get in touch with anyone else who is shaking
his/her phone at the moment and MJ just happened to be doing that. He was dancing and his phone was shaking at
the same time. I have always idolized
MJ. I mean no one can sing and dance
like him. I mean together. At the same
time. He was really innovative and
went all out- even to the extent of new looks for new videos which meant doing
things to his face as well. He then came
on audio
MJ: Hi
He said in that sweet almost girlish voice of his.
We all said Hi.
Me: Michael you are
soo talented.
JS: Yes you definitely know yr life purpose
Me: What are you
doing nw?
MJ: Dancing slowly to
“”Remember the time when we fell in love…”
Me: I always wanted
to see you dance for a concert.
KS: Me too
MJ: I can dance for u
now (he said shyly)
Suddenly we saw him.
Yes. He had his glitter glove,
the one studded with diamonds all over, on. I think he had put his phone a bit away so we
could see him. And then yes!! He did the
moon walk. He slowly glided over the
floor. He seemed to be in a studio or
something because there was a spotlight and his socks were sparkling too. Then he slowly picked the phone and smiled.
I just could not believe my luck. Here I was in Trivandrum and there he was,
wherever he was and I saw him dance in person.
Ya it was almost as good. I put
my phone down and clapped.
We went back to audio.
JS: Wish I could move
like that..
KS: Me too. I think it would be a good exercise at the
end of a busy day clinching deals!!
MJ: Thank you…Can I invite one of my friends to the chat?
Me: Sure
JS: No problemo.
In between I noticed my phones battery was showing weak
signals. Aargh!! Always happens when I’m having an interesting
conversation or an important call.
Me: Guys can you wait
a sec?
KS: Koi baat nahi.
So I quickly moved to
the laptop mode of WeChat. What a
relief!! Thank God it’s so easy and
seamless. It’s kind of embarrassing if
you end up taking a long time figuring out stuff in between a chat, is it not?
Anyways this is what followed:
MJ: This is my friend
Liz.
We all said Hi to her.
She then switched on the video and there she was. Of all people Elizabeth Taylor!!
She smiled.
Me: Did you really
wear a dress made of gold in Cleopatra?
ET: Oh Yes!! 24 Carat
Gold!!I have one of the pictures of that.
She then uploaded this picture!!
We were awestruck.
There was no denying her screen presence.
KS: And did they
really pay you half a million dollars?
ET: One million US
dollars. It was a record at that time. I was the highest paid actress.
Me: May I ask you
something about your mm marriage?
ET: Go ahead honey!!
Me: Why did you marry Richard Burton twice.
ET: Beats the hell
out of me, but he really made me feel complete. I have a picture of us. Wait.
ET: I think we look good here.
I was just admiring the picture and thinking what a great pair they made when we got a ping.
Suddenly someone wanted to join the group. A familiar voice then said
“” Mein Amitabh Bachchan Bol Raha Hoon “”
This was too much for me.
I was so excited!! I have always been fascinated by the lives of
the stars. I wanted to know why he did not marry Rekha? However the question that came out was
Me: How is little Aaradhya
doing?
AB: The lil darling
is fine.
Me: I loved the songs
in Silsila.
There was a
pause. Then:
AB: Aaah Silsila.
Suddenly my phone rang!! An all too familiar voice said,”Where are you? Did you forget we have dinner with Ammamma?”.It was Mummy
Yes. I’d forgotten. I
suddenly realized that it was getting a bit dark. Most of the lovers seemed to have left or were in the
process of leaving.
I had to suddenly bid adieu.
They were all very sweet. We
promised to meet again on WeChat . It was so much fun, people from all walks of life sitting in various parts of the world chatting and sharing pictures. I went home feeling lucky and happy.
You never know when your life is going to change, do
you? I did not think that an app called
We Chat could bring so much more excitement into my life. No Sirree!! But I sure am glad that I got it!!

Arvind, it does!! Infact i think it is one of the greatest gifts of mankind. Imagination is one realm where nothing really matters. Past or future. It is where everything is possible!!
