Inspiring Minds

The day began as usual, but my mind was not usual as other days. It was swinging to and fro as a cloth swings to and fro in a cloth line due to big blows of wind. 

  I was still lying on my bed thinking how dull is this life nothing makes me cherish. I tried engaging in many tasks but nothing worked out. I tried to cook but it was a mess. So you see, everything was done but nothing brought me a smile. Whole day I have to listen to sermons from parents as a small kid. 

 This lockdown makes our minds kill but some tries to engage it happily. As I love to travel its bitter to stay locked up in a house as a prisoner. I just lead a life of a prisoner. 

  The clock strucked to 9 a.m now my mother banged on the door as I was late to wake up , " Selena are you still sleeping, aren't you ashamed you are girl"...oh..the morning lecture. Everyday these words are heard by my ears but I never care them. 

  Anyway, I had to get off from the bed and go to kitchen. There was no bed tea as I woke up late. This made me anger but I didn't show it since it will be a beginning of another lecture. I had a wash and sat bear the television. 

  There was a political discussion so I had to turn off it as I hate politics. I started to gaze at the grey sky which was about to rain with big dew drops making whole atmosphere dull. This made me more dull and I felt hopeless.  

  It was time for breakfast my mother started the lecture again " Selena come and have breakfast don't complain that you are suffering from gastric. " 

 What to say ? Nothing but I just went as a kid who is dragged by force to go school. Oh !!! it was my unfavorite meal. Sprats curry with pumpkin. My mother knew I didn't like but she said like this , " learn to eat anything, you have no choices like earlier in these days people even don't have bit of rice " My God !!! It's the another lecture. I felt I'm in a lecture hall where no students and I'm only the student. 

  My father who had finished his breakfast turned on the TV, a programme started. As usual he called upon me. This is not a new experience for me. As a youth now I hate to watch all the programmes since I wanted to be in freedom. Imagine my face at this situation...it was long!!!...I had to obey his advice if not another lecture. Which is more strict !!!.

  Oh wow !!! A nice character on the TV  feels good. So I to watch this programme. The broadcaster asked from him, " Bill why you do like to lead a simple life though you have money" 

 Bill smiled and said, " Actually, I'm an actor so I can spend money as I like but I don't like since I like to spend a life it is easy. Even for the youth I would to give an advice is that don't copy others have your own targets and work for them , if you drive your vehicle according to others path definitely you will be knocked down. Therefore have your own targets , don't try to imitate others , it will bring you destruction. Let others think anyway,they like don't mind about it. If you are dealing in an accurate task no issues will be there for you."

  Actually, what Bill said what was correct. " Rrrr" somebody press the door bell so as usual I had to run for it it was my friend !!! Unexpected arrival !! I was shocked to see her. She is my next door neighbour but we were friends since childhood. She was " Malithi" 

  I had to say goodbye for the programme and I had to chat with my friend. So , Malithi saw that I was not in good mood as other days.

 " Selena , why are you in dull mood, you seems in anger or something why what's the issue ?"

 I had to sum up my story in brief since it will be a long story as stories in history. In history period we used to sleep as it was the boring period. 

 " Selena, listen this I'm not giving you a lecture but as your are a friend of mine not a just friend a friend since childhood. We must have targets and we must drive towards them don't look others and feel repent yourselves. Since people are acting all are not in real , so don't feel depressed. You are an educated girl be positive, now look at me , how many things knocked on my life but I tried to stay upright without being knocked down" 

 " Yeah, you are correct Malithi actually now I feel inspired from your words and earlier too I was listening to an inspiring story" 

 Thanks a lot Malithi , actually now I feel motivated too. Hereafter I must not feel dull and feel bad about my life. There is a value in each person's life.
