hanging on in life

for those of u who dont know the the story of trishanku.....
he was a king who wanted to go to heaven alive!. with special yagnas he is sent ,til the doors of heaven but is refused entry and pushed down.but due to his guru(vishwamitra)'s powers his fall is halted and ends up suspended in between.the story goes on with a new heaven being created for him and at the end he being offered permission in heaven.(original)
now what this story has got to do with my blog is i just love the story.i admire the audacity of the man who dared what no one had even dreamt of.u may accuse him of being hedonistic,but i see him as a man who chased his dreams until they relented and became his present.a man who had the best of both the worlds.
