institute my life from where I initiated. And
then I would have accomplished all these activities, which still remain afresh in my mind. Yea, I would have rectified the
ill-doings if I had a few in my original life.
To be a little kid to enjoy all the mystery and anonymity of nature with exciting vision-the dawning day,
the growing morning, the glowing noon, the fading sun and the
rising moon. I would
spare a bewildered look at the tall trees and weeds tiny; hushing
breeze and roaring thunder and blinking lightning and twinkling stars. I would hang on
the corner of my mother’s sari and the collar of my father’s shirt, filled
with enthusiasm in my eyes and prattle a lot in my lips about topics of attraction. I
would exhibit all my obstinacy for all the yearnings to be fulfilled.
I would wait for clasps and kisses from elders and return those to them with love.I would play with my friends, toys and boys without any
stress and strain
and tension and apprehension.
TO attain my teen obeying my parents and observing their strength closely to be a follower of theirs is really worth-scoring. I would care, concentrate and discharge all my duties and then argue for my rights. I would learn compassion for the poor and ailing, destitute and desperate and count the boons and blessings that God has poured on me. I would evade myself much away from rowdies and rogues. I would be triumphant in fighting against my own weaknesses by installing in me, values and virtues only.
In adulthood, I would put into practice every good lesson learnt. I would be kind, merciful, duty-minded and affectionate in all my rolls and roles of womanhood and eventually turn to be an old woman immersed in service to the needy and spirituality for the self to acquire bliss and ecstasy.
What a foolish and unfeasible idea! If at
least a substantial number of people allow all these qualities of excellence to sustain in them 'what a wonderful world it would
be!'. Any or every silly person can imagine and dream to have any castle in his
or her life and so also me.
Aspirations and dreams often produce Utopia. don't they?
ReplyDeleteWhat a bore it can be to be perfect in every way? Isn't it better to be imperfectly perfect ?
Yes, some flaws will be or should be there.That is why the word perfect occurred in language.Perhaps dreams, away from reality can be perfect and imperfect too.Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIf given one more chance, anyone would like to grow up once again, more wiser, undoing the mistakes, trying to accomplish all the desired things which were left because of lost chance. Nicely expressed!:)

ReplyDeleteNone of us achieve perfection in our bumpy ride through life. The challenge is to achieve a bit of it along the way. Excellent write!
ReplyDeleteThank you, indybev.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd be able to avoid all the bumps in my childhood life, especially since many of them happened because I was strange, and if I had to do it again, I'd probably be even stranger.
