10:30 pm... 37F... Cold night... bare feet... standing on ground... 100 students... "Puma Puma" everyone's shouting this. Puma Puma... They say it is a magic word. It lets you exchange energy. Fire... everyone surrounding it... Red hot Coal spread out for about six to seven feet...
Believe in yourself... for if you cannot believe it you can never do it. Its all in your mind. Bheetar ki shakti as they say... Puma chanting , Puma Puma Puma Puma... rhythmic claps... Puma Puma... energy exchange... Puma Puma... you can feel the energy penetrating in... bare feet on ground... first person moves towards the fire... Puma Puma gets louder... she (yes she) looks at the other end... and in between lie those red hot coal... how hot? no one knows... she is the first one to feel it... She gets ready to walk over it... people clapping... chanting louder... Puma Puma...
She starts first step... she doesn't shout... does she not feel the heat? whats going on? she walks as if its nothing unusual... red hot coal? no effect? everyone amazed...
One after other people line up... all want to experience the thrill... will it hurt? blisters? burns? how come she walked just like that...
Next person ready to step in... Puma Puma energy is flowing all around... Its all in the first step... All courage you need... just the first step... He is ready for the thrill... Puma Puma gets louder... stares at the red hot coal... seems he is hesitant... what is thinking? is he scared?.. he needs more energy... chants go louder.... Puma Puma... I pour all energy in cheering him...
First step... most toughest... and he steps in and walks to other side... questions rising... is it that easy? so simple? just walk away... thats it?
Now, its my turn... Puma Puma... thats all is I hear... I am standing on this end... looking around people looking at me... cheering me... Puma Puma... I think,' never thot until yesterday that I would do this... ' and here I am standing infront of a seven feet patch of red hot coal... will it burn my feet? what if it does? I ain't no macho man. ... Puma Puma louder in my ears... I look at the other end... people cheering... calling me... flames in the path... a deep breath... and the first step... the most difficult step... and I am walking over red hot coal... am I dreaming... no I am not... yes I walked on fire... wow!! unbelievable... now thats what it is... a walk to remember.
