Where's my laugh gone ?
A story fits in this context
A man had 3 sons. He was an average-earning man and lived in a village. One fine day he bought 3 coconut plantlets and planted them in his backside garden. Time passed. The father grew old. His 3 sons grew big and went to distant cities for jobs and got busy. On the other hand, his 3 coconut trees grew big and started having numerous fleshy coconuts. The 3 coconut trees didn't go anywhere and stayed with the old man. The old man used to pluck the coconuts, sell them in the market, and earned enough money to live happily. Those trees feed the old man for 30 years alone. After the old man died, the villagers used the wood of the 3 coconut trees for his last rituals. But his sons never returned.
The old man was no billionaire but was much more happier. It was all because he planted the right seeds at the right moment and didn't depend on others for sustaining his life. And that makes all the difference.
I might sound like a father but I like this character of mine. My life is as disgusting as a butterfly caught in a spider web. I see no other way to escape but only one- to flap my wings till I get out of the web. Life is tough, there's no doubt in this. But I will get through this. Due to this pandemic, our all-important exams were canceled. After the announcement, I felt like my whole year's hard work was just dumped without inspection. They could have delayed the exams but didn't even maximize their thought. There's a point in our life where we get a chance to show ourselves to the world, that we too are worthy. But when this chance is snatched from the performers, it would spoil their worthy beginning towards success. I was devastated but then I thought at least my knowledge and consistency level rose.
My body's gaining fat so after 3 months I decided that now I should get up early and go with dad to the playground for exercising. So as planned, on 31st May 2021 I woke up at 4:30 am, got my dress on, bathed and I was pretty ready. I felt like I'm the king of the house (as I was the first to get up). I realized that I never got this feeling in the past 3 months. I was overjoyed. At last, the real king woke up and we went to the field. I took my scooty (#feelingliketheKingagain).In the field, I exercised with some random fatherly figures which seem stranger to me at first. But a point came where everyone in the group got into a circle and started cracking mature jokes. As soon as a joke is cracked, everyone laughs out, and that too very very loudly. Now imagine me in that circle too. Literally, I was there. I felt like where's my laugh gone. I was trying to laugh man! I was totally in a different world called 'A teenager's Anxiety'. In the middle, I also felt that everyone was laughing at me.
After returning home I realized that they took laughter as a stress buster to all their problems. In fact, they have many heavy critical problems than me but still, they happily laughed. I find myself privileged to get a chance to laugh with them. Staying inside my home that day won't have given me that feeling!
When I see my parents, my seniors doing something to bring about a change, I also try to be like them. And that makes me grow, that makes me surf myself and finally help me putting a step closer towards my goal.
"Everything that counts in the end is the difference that we create in this world"
So when are you planting your seed?
Ya, that was it. I have many things to tell you all but my larynx doesn't help me sometimes, my fingers do. That's why I love to write. Anyway, Life is to live, right?
Lots of love and hope. Comment, share and do whatever you like. I just want you all to be alive and happy as always. Good days are awaiting us. Bye-bye.
