Paper boats, are you crazy? We are no more kids! Move now…….
But I stood at the stream wearing my office suit holding the half folded paper, creased on the
side, torn from the book…..the book which fell off my working desk by the
thrust of the last tear!! Hurt? Can lifeless things be hurt, no…yes…..don’t
know!!! That book was the records of my thoughts, my emotions and my secret
keeper!! Did I hurt the one which has managed to pile up so many emotions…. I guess!!
Wind screamed,
thunder rumbled and I snapped out of my thoughts, the half folded paper still
in my hands, wet on corners by the drizzle… let’s go! A voice screamed again
but I stood there having an astonishing vision in the waters….surprised!! Yes …surprised!!
I saw a kid of age 7, the same innocence, and the same desire to explore, sparkling
in the eyes holding the paper boat…. A drop from the leaf overhead fell in the
waters and in the ripples I lost the vision!!
Wait!!! Age 7, how? It was me in the waters? Could I be a kid again, can I have my innocence back?
Hey! Are you coming?.... I heard the voice again but choose
to ignore it and searched for myself! I lost myself as the water got blurrier
by the ripple…. A voice now whispered in my mind…. Yes you can be a kid again!!
Yes you can!! Pacific now I stared back at
the stream, holding the half folded, creased, torn, wet paper…yes…..my half built
paper boat !! A tire screeched on the road side…..breeze shook the branches
mildly and I slipped the paper into my pockets and walked
to my office… slow as I didn't want to rush through this ,still dreaming of the
vision…I reached my desk!! Picked up my book which lied in solace on the
floor proving its lifelessness!! Another memory…. Another thought….. I chuckled and slipped the paper in
the book along with the other half built paper boats…. Yes….37 paper boats….
37 times of childhood…37 times of peace!! 38 now…. And the count doesn't stop
here…. Many paper boats to come from my book of emotions to make me a kid again…..yes
billions may be!!
