Twists like Jalebi

My beloved friend Tattoba (Tarang), sent me the best SMS this Dassara. Its one of the biggest festivals in India and sweets are almost mandatory. But Tattoba had a different message to convey:

Happy Dassara! May everything happen in your life like the sweet twists of jalebi!

Lucidity in this simple message shows the exactitude of some truths, the impermanence which drives every moment, the element of bewilderment with every twist we encounter. We don't encourage this astonishment, but assume sorrow.
