The Dream

It’s the story of a girl who is growing up as everyone says and each year passes by with people wishing her happy birthday in tunes of unmatched variations but they sing the same song of happy birthday every year forgetting how to sing in unison with notes not matching and lines are forgotten and words repeated and in her urge to find the true tune she started to sing along as she sings a different tune that matches only hers idea of her dreams and opinions of life to come. Yes, she is growing up in her constant quest to adapt herself to the opinions of others.

 As days passed by, her tender feet oblivious of the roads traversed in hours and days of her childhood experiences nurtured in the happy realms of her parent's nest grew into confident feet hardened enough to traverse the comparatively rough terrain of the outer world, she was married off to a boy who stood nowhere in the equation of life that she solved with ease in her mind and the unplanned variable became a planned one that she needed to accommodate in the new equation of her life. In her urge to balance she went on solving and life too went on serving her more that she solved but with answers that she never imagined! It was all fine and lifelike the six seasons of a year changed accordingly in time and pattern.                                              

 As she went on watching and experiencing, a day came in winter when she felt life inside her own embracing the warmth of her womb and she knew it was time to welcome a little one into her cozy nest. She was overjoyed and restless too as the wait seemed too long but worthwhile and with time came the little angel and she found that she was no more alone in her thoughts as the little one with her tiny heart lying beside her was also there and the feelings of euphoria that flooded her entire body got reflected in her eyes that stared into the blank space above and beyond what she imagined and the heavenly feeling that came with the of being a Mother changed her world in a way that she never felt like the before-a world of joy-responsibility and selflessness!                 

New dawn comes in every life; it came in her life too, slowly but steadily. The dawn was followed by the bright morning sky and the golden hue of the sun’s rays were so beautiful with the unclouded sky above that she forgot about the future days and went on with her life simple but happy in the little world she created around her and one day as she opened her eyes and stared at the sky she found it dark and cloudy and then it dawned on her that time has come to stay indoors with her near and dear ones as Nature was in no mood to show compassion or shower mercy over her-Frightened as she was she closed her eyes to reality and her eyes heavy with sleep fell into a deep slumber with the memories of the bygone days put to rest only to be restored in the happiness of life that was still clear and fresh in her thoughts and in her sleep she dreamt of a new horizon -a horizon of new ideas: new memories: and a new life!
