शायद (Shayad) [Draft]
Radha annoyingly blurted, "ब्रह्म, Brahma! If the ancient Indians could have resisted the innate urge for 'coherence', they would have been more exploratory and less predictable!

Brahman, who has no birth, in reality, comes to be a jiva owing to associating with the body. This is the same Brahman that the Upanishads specify as the cause of the world.

The Primordial Soup
It was a normal word, like many other words, but one day, it metamorphosed into intense nothingness.
“शायद (Shayad)” exploded when the word “स्यादवाद (Syadvada)” penetrated it deeply and made her emptiness go live.
And what an explosion it was!
Past merged with the present and had started to eat the time yet to come. He watched it all with such excitement that even he became oblivious of himself. It became then clear to Chris why it was for no reason that ancient Hindus proclaimed the absolute truth as the ‘Shabd-Brahm.’
It all happened in the early morning one day around 4. After that experience, Chris could not go back to sleep. He struggled to push himself out of bed; he felt like he was in the amorphous primordial soup from which all that was around and beyond him had splurted.
When he finally managed to pull himself out of the shapeless and gunatit primordial soup, Radha was still asleep with her hands on his chest. He slowly moved her thin, strong hand to his side and walked to the beach.
At 4:04, he was not expecting anyone there. He had hurriedly pulled up a running short and was wearing nothing on top. An older man startled him with his towering presence. The beach light was falling on him, making his identity clear. Chris stopped to say hello and blasted into a run. He had not even run for one minute and felt pulled back to the old man.
Meeting Hemingway
“Why are you here so early? In my 20 years living here, this is the first time I have seen anyone at such an ungodly hour. I would have been spooked had it not been so easy to recognize you.”
Hemingway nodded but didn’t utter a word. Chris continued.
“It’s so nice to see you. I was thinking about you while drowned in the soup.”
“What were you thinking?”
