How do they do it?
A cookie inside a plastic wrap
Music in a CD or as a wav file
A mango in a supermarket
Flowers ready to be offered to some one
Or to gods
A washing machine working tirelessly for years
A movie so enjoyable in an air conditioned theater
And Indian names like Anusaya
Like the screen of a computer
Or flat screen TV
We are used to see beautiful images
By flipping a switch
For all of these
In the background
There are stories of toil, frustration
Up and down
Conflicts
Tears and hugs
Like the iPod story of Steve Jobs
Each success rises like a phoenix
In the graveyard of failures
Finally given to us
In nice sleek packages
Just like our bodies.
