I was taking a break from work , looked around in office and everyone were busy with their work . So went and stood by the window and started watching the busy road . There was a rush . Everyone on the road had an objective to reach some place. Each one oblivious of the other . People were indulged in their own thoughts to complete their objective.
Then there were birds up in the sky . The sparrow, the crow and many other small birds which flew across the building and the Kites up above all , flying like the king of the sky without caring about the busy road . They just flew. They did not have the objectives or aims like those of the people on the busy road.
Don't think they don't have aim for their life. They do! Completing everyday's mundane task is the aim of their life. They fly to find food, when there is a weather change , they fly across to a new place against all odds, be it the wind or heat or storm, build a new nest and start to search food again. During the breeding season , they reproduce offspring. Also save themselves and it's offspring from being a pray to the predators. You might call them coward, helpless creatures as they don't stand against their predators but in reality they are more brave than you know. Even when they know there might be danger out there, they don't give up. They fly, they search food and do everything it takes to fulfill the aim of their life.
Then, what about those birds which are caged ? How do they fulfill their aims? They don't get to fly , they don't get to have freedom. Cage is their life. They never get to fulfill their dreams. Well, that's the story of our lives too. How different are we from those caged birds ? We all want to have the life of a free bird, a life more fulfilling. We want to fly , we want to fulfill and achieve the dreams of our lives but somewhere we are just caged , tied in the shackles of office work or caught in the drift of our own fears. Even if we succeed from not getting caged we end up being the pray of a Kite or other predators .If you are employed to someone, you know what I am talking about. You put in endless hours of effort just to make someone higher up in the ladder realize their dreams . Your life ends up in fulfilling someone else's dream and never yours. Have you never cursed such a life?
But then there are personalities like that of the Kite who fly high in the sky, like they own it.They know they are born to rule. They not only feed on smaller helpless birds but also do not have the fear of being caged, because they are the 'Azaad Panchi's having the freedom to be the pilot of their life. To them problems are like the turbulent winds which help them only to fly higher and get a better view.They achieve everything they desire, against all odds.
So ,when are we going to be 'The Kite' of our life? Will we ever be able to break the chain and set ourselves free? Or is it just our fate like those of the unfortunate birds? Well , it's a choice we have to make.
P.S: Too much of philosophy . Swalpa adjust maadkoli :P
