Being an IT engineer, its a bliss for everyone of us when we
leave for our home after hectic schedule of work. As I shut my work system, it automatically creates
a personal space in mind apart from manager, work deliverables, colleagues etc
etc.. It was an awesome eve with chilly wind. The weather has just cherished my
mind and I went for a walk. Walking along the open and straight road in this
lovely weather, I saw a big fantastic entrance to something. As I went closer to
that place, I found it a wonderland. And I couldn’t resist myself entering into
it. The place seems like scenic, fairly, ravishing and splendiferous. I kept on
moving along with the pleasant flow of wind and finally found a mate. You might
be wondering a mate… Yes, I saw a beautiful bird with colorful wings. But the
sad part was that pretty bird was in an old ugly cage. I went closer to the
bird, opened the door of cage and asked her to accompany me in strolling around.
I felt a loving and warm welcome to the wonderland from the Bird. She has
greeted me with a warm smile. She helped
me in guiding the routes of wonderland but refused to come out with me. I
thought once why she is refusing to come out of the open door of cage. I was so
lost in the beauty of the place, so I ignored her NO and started enjoying the
place. Suddenly I heard a wiping noise and turned around. I got sad after
seeing tears in the pretty bird’s eye. Sometimes we don’t get other ones exact
feelings. People smile but we actually miss the real pain in their eyes. I felt
bad, went close to her and asked about the matter. She was so matured that she
came out of whatever she had in a mind. And started asking me how I found the
place. I tried providing her the comfort so that she can share her pain with
me. At last I have given her space , she agreed and started with a story. A
story about her, her relations, her world. The story started on the day, she
started flying high in the sky. She was so fun loving and bubbly. She always
enjoys even when she is alone. She didn’t know what a friend is? She came to this
wonderland one day. The pleasant wind of the place gave her a feeling which she
founded strange but loving. Wind and bird both became friends. After that she
started living in this wonderland only. Both used to have fun. Wind takes her
everywhere she wishes to be. It was all fun. One day wind showed her his stormy
nature. She got depressed and sad. But all what she wanted was her friend Wind
after getting familiar with the beauty of friendship. She used to ignore this stormy
nature of wind and waits till the wind becomes pleasant again. But with the
growing time, she started finding it difficult to bear this daily behavior of
wind. And one day she decided to go far and stop bearing wind. And will go back
to her first friend only when He will realize her worth and call her back. In
between this friendship period of Wind and Bird, She has also made many new
friends. She used to feel bad for a Tiger but couldn’t have the courage to talk
to him. But she has felt the pain in Tiger’s eye. Because no one can expect a
Tiger to be silent. She came closer to the Tiger as a consequence with Wind’s
fight. She was broken up already and was afraid to share her pain with anyone.
But it’s a normal tendency, we get involve in other’s pain and forget ours. That’s
what has happened with the Bird. She made a new friend. Tiger used to protect
her from every difficulty. Bond of their friendship started growing more with
the time. Once again her destiny cheated on her. As the Tiger got the courage
and friend, he started showing anger on her. This anger was the only thing she
can’t bear from her loved ones. It breaks her. It makes her feel that they don’t
need her anymore in their life. She got fed up of these relations. And decided
to go away from this wonderland and live with new hopes. Moving moving flying
flying flying.. She reached to a city. May be she was unaware of this cruel
world. But luckily she found a nice garden in a proud township of city. She
used to sit on a branch of tree and enjoys music from a near flat. Destiny made
her meet a new friend. A guy who was a nature lover. Guy was young. He loves to
live with his thoughts and nature around. But this race of growing world has
brought him to this city. Like every young guy in today’s world, he too wanted
to be a successful engineer. He completed his engineering and got a job in MNC.
But he wanted to grow more and more. With the time, he started spending
majority of his time in the office and meet his nature friend only on weekend
mornings. But she was so loyal to him that she keeps on waiting for him every
day and night inspite of knowing that she will be able to see him only on
weekend. Later that guy got married. He started working more as now he has a
life who is dependent on him. Those weekends meetings has became once in 15
days. Even though she understood and always wanted good for her friends. She
was happy with his success and feels heavenly at the moment he finds time to
come to meet her. And finally he got an onsite opportunity. Once again she
became a victim of cruel fate. She was caught by a bird seller. He took her to
the same wonderland and put her into that ugly cage. Her heart was broken once
again. And suddenly ‘I m all out of Love’ started… OMG its 7:00 am. And its my alarm
tone. I woke up with tears in my eyes. I have to start like a machine for this
new day of mine. So I ignored this dream of mine and went for work. But this
day was a bit different for me. I couldn’t concentrate for the whole day on my
work. I couldn’t forget the bird in ma dream. I couldn’t forget her pain. I had
lots of questions in my mind. What was her fault? Jst that she wanted love ,
she was loyal to her friends.. all that she wanted to make everybody happy. You
can’t imagine a broken person forgetting everything and move on a lot of times.
She has tried thrice.. I have felt the strength in her words. But as she was
ending up the story I felt she is so broken up that she is so afraid to move
on. But once again she has to. As thats the life is. She has actually faced the
cruel truth of this world. I just wish God gives her strength once again to
live and fly high. Sometimes its ego, sometimes its love, sometimes its destiny
has broken her. LL
