It felt like running alone on a long, narrow bridge with water flowing rapidly below.
It felt like lying on a deserted beach in the wee hours of the morning, with water gently touching your feet.
It felt like staring at the moon, longingly
It felt like a thought, the sharp edge of which has been pierced into your brain forever.
It felt like a song, which when played at the perfect moment, tugs you at heart.
It felt like an experience so vivid, you’ll remember it throughout your life as if it just happened yesterday.
It felt like touch
It felt like the first snowflake falling into your hand
It felt like the first drop of hail you see fallen on green grass
It felt like your first day at school
It felt like your last day at school
It felt like the first time you held a living being in your hand
It felt like each and every time you got drenched in rain
It felt like a locked mind with a raging river inside
It felt like you were amidst dense rain clouds
It felt like the first time you rolled down a mountain slope
It felt like the time you saw sunrise at 4 in a morning, so chilly, your mother had cuddled you in her arms and had 3 shawls wrapped around her.
You wished it was like the sky, seemingly unending
It felt like the first time you helped a person in genuine need
It felt like the first time your teacher praised you
It felt like the first time someone broke your favorite toy, and your mother repaired it for you
It felt like the first time you saw a theatre screen, so big, you exclaimed “Papa, Itna Bada TV”, and the theatre, full of people, laughed
It felt like the first time you told the truth, when you could’ve gotten away by telling a lie.
It felt like the reception the Indian team got on returning home after winning the World Cup
It feels like life.
