Often I remember a memory of my childhood, sometimes after dinner I used to sit on chair of our veranda with some fruits. We lived in a staff quarter in that time. The veranda was open as there were no metal grills like today. I used to sit there, take the fruits and see the open sky above and think so many strange things. Sometimes, my mom used to sit there by taking me on her. Often I asked a question “Mom… Has anybody ever visited moon?”
She used to answer, “Yes, some American guys did”
Then I used to say “ Ok! Then I won’t go there. Has anybody ever visited stars?”
She used to reply “Nop, till now nobody could”
Then I used to smile and say “I’ll visit the starts when I’ll be grown up and I’ll bring one for you”
My mom used to laugh and say “Why my son has to go there, my baby itself a Star, shinier than those”
How stupid I was, I used to tell this to my school friends that I’m a shinier star than those stars they see at the night sky. This is something that I often remember and smile. But till now, somehow my childish mind believes those words and inspires like anything.
It was a wonderful journey till today, it’s not always important to take life as a race. Because if it’s a race, I have to run, and if I run than I can lose so many things that I could get by walking. Someone said “Always try to take the pleasure from small moments, after someday just look back, you’ll find them bigger”… Yes!! It’s true, if I try to win something I’ve to know how to defeat others. But if I try to achieve something I’ve to be passionate about that….
This blog was made for a particular achievement… but you know what?? Already I’ve achieved something that exceeds the power of everything.

I’ll finish for now with last 4 lines
“Sky makes me feel sometimes,
I didn’t have to grow,
As the eagle leaves the nest,
It got so far to go!!”
