Reliving Dreams. Reconnecting with Stars

Blessed with the best parents, she grew up in the canopy of unconditional love and affection.

Where virtues of respect, trust, compassion and helping others was an innate habit.

The child who was everyone’s favourite for her gentle smile and her cherubic gestures.

Her eyes had a thousand wishes as such, and she always believed in her dreams.

She would share the wishlist silently with friends at night, as they would assemble forming a galaxy twinkling up in the sky.

She would write small notes in her secret diary and hide it deep under the pile of books somewhere.

She loved admiring the roses and would like the smell of the petals, yet pluck none from her garden.

She adored the bulbul bird’s nest in the creeper and would happily return from school to watch them from a distance.

She had her cute friendship with her Godfather like uncle, who was her genie fulfilling even her smallest of wishes.

She was the branch of a belief system where even though there was a particular religious belief, the doors of the mind was open to the one world one religion concept.

She was fortunate to celebrate every festival, feel the essence of kindness and care in every human irrespective of their class or creed.

All knew that her impromptu demands for the little sweet-sour toffees or the colourful balloons had to be satisfied without any delay.

Her faith in goodness and righteousness was seen in her voice and also her sensitivity.

She would love watching the rain in her backyard and rejoice holding the hailstones in her small palm.

She saw the beautiful world around her that was perfect with the noticeable imperfections that could be taken best care with mindful decisions.

While she follow her heart always and walked her path in life, she travelled to many places, met people of different races.

She then got introduced to the real world that was reverse of what all she had learned or imbibed, yet she chose to hold on to her values.

The journey of life seemed to alter her path of dreams and somewhere she lost her way in the tunnel like maze. 

That is when, in the darkness, as if out of nowhere, she could see the light beaming from the sky, as if her long lost friends were right there to help her.

She followed the path shown by her stars and then as if a magical path appeared, she moved on to cherish her dreams with her confident divine smile.
