It was a well spent evening with my friends. After long sessions of meetings and tons of work stress I had choose to be cherished with the love flames of my beloveds. We three, me, Mansi and Pragya, we trio decided to go to some beautiful place, nearby our PG. That is Rose Garden. After Sukhna Lake, Rose Garden is only place in Chandigarh, that inhale my extreme love. We are fond of roses to some extent. In the February month you can see this garden much colourfull and soulful. At 2pm we had reached there, and as our expectations it was crowded with teens, couples, families and more. Some were busy in photography, so some were busy to build up their moments. As we were there to reinvent our joy and cheerfulness. Like others we were enjoying the moments,then I saw a beautiful butterfly. It was yellow in color, with little black dots on edges of her wings. It was so beautiful, I could not take my eyes off from her. She was flying from here to there, from one rose to another. I tried to caught her, but everytime I failed. After several attempts of being failed I refused to caught her, I let her enjoy her life. But I was extremely mesmerized by her beauty and freedom of doing whatever she likes. She got over my mind, I could not get out of her thoughts. After spending 4 hours we came back from rose garden. They both were busy in their daily evening routine, and I was busy in thoughts of that yellow butterfly. we trio were in our respective beds. And I was wondering, could I be a butterfly? I was lost I thoughts of being a butterfly. And I don't know, till when I was awaken, and when I slept. 


    It was the next morning, I woke up with a hilarious shock. I could not believe that over one night I was transformed into a butterfly from a human. I was the same yellow butterfly with black dots, which I had seen in Rosegarden. It was a miracle for me. I wanted to be pinched by someone, but it was impossible, as I was a butterfly, and nobody can hear me, not even Pragya and Mansi. It was a mixture of emotions, neither happy nor sad, but a little bit excited. I was with two wings, three pair of legs, a pair of Aintenae and compound eyes. Now I want to fly high in the sky. So I decided to fly, and went out of the room, as there was no room in the room for me. I was no more human, with the limitations. An aroma from the balcony attracted me, it was the fragrance of a marrigold flower. I was magnetized to the fragrance. I went to the flower and soaked all the juice from that flower. Now, I felt better. I was thinking, now I am free from every stress, as I don't need to do a job, I don't need to attend boring lengthy meetings. I don't need to do dieting, I don't need to go to the gym, I don't need to behave like a pro. Even I am free from emotional trauma, now, I have to just fly and suck out the juice from different flowers. Now my aim was to hit the other beautiful flowers. So I went out of the house and reached the nearby garden.


There were many seasonal flowers as orchids, Snapdragon, petunia, and pansy. Purple shaded petunia attracted me more than others, so I decided to dance at bunch of petunia. I really enjoyed that dance, I flew from one flower to another. Suddenly I heard whispering, I turned back and saw a kid, who was ready to catch me. Before I could think or act something, I realized I was in his two fingers and a thumb. He held me very tight, it was hurting. My wings were scratched, I could not make any move. I was quiet and helpless, as I was trying to say to him that it was hurting, but he could not understand any word of me, perhaps my voice was not audible for him. I was hopeless at that moment, I could see my life ending in someone's hands. I was praying to God for transformed me to in a human again. It was good to think about being a butterfly but In reality, it was really a tough job. So I decided to continue my prayers, but it was not fruitful. That kid brought me with him to his room, where he showed me to his other friends. They were showing their excitement by clapping and making noises. I was afraid at this time.


He held me to his another friend. She was a cute girl. She saw me with much love and sympathy. Perhaps she was mesmerized by my beauty, so she urged him to make me free, so I can enjoy my life, and she said, "let her free, and enjoy her life, cause her life is really short term, just 2 to 6 weeks she has to live, please let her free". After hearing this I was touched by another wave of thoughts. Only 2 to 6 weeks I have, to enjoy, to be happy, to be free. Now I was praying with more trust and believe because I don't want to die within a month. And then, that kid made me free, he set me at a giant pink rose.


I was happy because I was free, but this time I was unable to fly, my wings were badly wounded, they could be detached from me at any time. It was like a paralyzed attack to a human when he has legs but he neither stand nor he can walk by his legs. It was the same mental situation. I was helpless and very near to death. It was the end of my life. My eyes were closed, there were tears in my eyes, it was really very short life span. I was regretting over my wish of being a butterfly. Now, it was over. 


   Suddenly, I woke up with a noise of alarm, but somewhere else, it was my bed. I was no more a butterfly, then I realized, it was just a dream. I was quite happy because I realized that, no one can put their self in someone else's shoe. It is good to be the person, insect, animal, bird, whatever you are made by God. I am human, I am good as a human, and a butterfly is good as a butterfly. We don't need to change our lives. We are the creations of God. And every creation of God is unique and wonderful.
