Feel It..

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.

feels like when we realise that what we have may not be what we want, but is more than that; it is what we need...

good going... the simplicity left a good taste...
