6.00 AM .. The journey began.The mercury showed 36 C so early in the morning. The shimmering rays fell on her face. Sigh!! Is it a ray of hope? Loaded with countless questions , she sank in the rear seat.. They drove past the buzzing cars, screaming people and blaring speakers. One of Ilaiyaraja's tracks playing in the car.. her thoughts ran to the past.Her eyes shut tight.. tears rolled down her cheeks. 'Life s changed' she mumbled.. She felt herself locked in every convolution. She wanted to break it all. The harder she tried .. the stronger its hold became.. The melancholy of the song piercing her heart.. reminiscing.. Smiles, classes, lunch boxes, exams, tears, college, friends, farewell, office.. everything flashed one by one.. The big bunch of buddies.. the fun.. the love.. the friendship.. the contentment.. 'The best part of my life'.. she could hear her mellifluous voice.. The next phase - begins college.. discomfort.. irritation.. frustration.. missing her second home.. struggling to meet demands.. live up to expectations.. to spend time with everyone.. suffocation.. friends drifted.. the rift grew bigger.. misunderstandings.. she uprooted herself from her world.. She stepped into the college .. her new world .. friends.. and loads of friends ... some good , some bad.. some lasted, some withered.. few smiles, plenty of fights.. loads of fun.. heaps of disgust..taste of success.. At the end of the day.. 'This is the best part of my life' said a matured voice.. Life drifted to its next phase.. work.. independence.. luxury.. she could reach for the stars.. then followed commitments.. arguments...heart breaks.. depressions.. her heart felt heavy.. she wanted to break free.. THUNDERCLAP!!!! the clouds began to pour.. the little rain drop rolled down on one cheek.. the heavy warm tear rolled down on the other cheek..Far , far away.. she could see the RAINBOW faintly.. emotions spurted.. her face brightened.. realization dawned.. The COLOURS OF LIFE - violet, indigo, blue , green , yellow , orange and red.. she could connect with each colour.. Finally she looked up.. the clouds cleared..she smiled.. its white now!!!!
She doodled.. I want the roots and the wings.. I want the commitments and the freedom.. Love is the root.. faith and hope is the wind under my wing.. And now .. I will soar high!!!!!!
She said to herself.. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!!
May be not FREE HUGS.. but a FREE SMILE can keep hatred at bay.. forget all the fights.. the ego clashes.. just rewind your memories.. go down the memory lane.. give life to all the sweet memories.. just wipe off all other emotions.. flash a smile.. brighten the world.. Laugh, love, work, enjoy,suceed.. kal ho na ho!!!!!
