ON MY KNEEL

Life confronts parallel path when leading to the end from begin. On the way everyone experienced what they didn’t plan, but which make them grown up.
1---This experience starts when we are born and initiated crawling with the help of our two most sacred “friends”, first they sunk in uncontrolled laugh and exclaimed with joy at our first walk on four legs with the unspecific language. “My dear child, come here, come here!” They clapped their hands with encouragement and called us with that genius smile, at that very moment we fell, again hear their beautiful beckon and we start again on our four legs, again we fell, again they called, again we fell, and again they called. In this procedure eventually we are success in ‘wandering’ around the house and ‘speaking’ in our own language which magically they understand. Gradually they start correcting our language and they can’t control when we first called them Mom and Dad.
2---Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sign! Wipe! cry ! “ my dear children, don’t cry, I will give you chocolate and come to receive you than we can eat ice-cream together” this ‘temptation’ cheer us up a bit and when we are distracting with the sweet tongue and laughter of other friends, they vanished in some corner with promise of getting back to us again. Other friends are there, same age and same condition, with a mark of tear on their cheeks. We strolled into a beautiful room decorated with attractive toys and pictures, instantly we forgot the experienced and start dwelling on the floor, picking things, padding toys and playing with them. Innocent mind of our friends and us open the curtain of privacy and we started showing things around. “this is mine” said us, “No! this is mine” said others, “No! if you try to take it away from me than I will called my father and he is very brave, I am sure he will beat you” said us, “I will called my father as well and brother also, they can beat your father” said others……..! echoing with noises from every direction, the same decorated room become a hut of crying babies. Eventually when we back to school gate where our sacred friends are waiting, we started complaining. They said nothing, because they know this same complain will transform into compliment at the end when we declared this and that is my friend.
3---We draw things which parents praised and teachers rejoice, but still we haven’t touch the real drawing which our friends called Alphabet, A, B, C, D, E…….! when they pampered us to write them on some ornament book with cute pencil, they don’t mind for the A which hardly has any sign of A, they hold our hands and rewrite the word, some time they bribe us with sweets, sometime threaten us with pinch and some time owed us with compliment. Accordingly our reaction arouse in the form of satisfaction, tear and smile! Similarity in them and us is we never give up, they don’t give up because they believe in us and we don’t give up because we are not allow to give up! After some months and years, we recognized words and start writing to our sacred friends which always let them cry with joy and hope.
4---Neither we crawled on the floor nor we boast of possessing powerful and well build parents when we were mature enough to showing our strength, “I know about this which they don’t know, I have this which they only dream about, I can do this which they won’t darn to do, I like he but not “he”, she is so proud and ostentatious, they are so barbaric…..!” But they are always something which we don’t know even we think we know, always something which we only dream about, always something which hesitate in doing. Again the “he” that we liked opinion us and encourage us to go further, the “he” that we don’t liked put more effort on what they doing and envied us to go further, the “she” we cursed start changing and educate us to go further, the “they” that we think barbaric applause us and emotion us to go further.
Yes!!! To go further!
5---Life confronts parallel path when leading to the end from begin, on the way everyone experienced what they didn’t plan, but which make them grown up. The only contributor in our growth and maturity is FRIEND! In the form of sacred “friends” which we named parents, in the form of first “friends” which we named childhood buddies, in the form of second sacred “friends” which we name teachers and in the form of “he” and “she” which we named best friends. After all “friends” are the only reason why we are alive and “friends” are the only reason why PLATO declared “we are social animals”!!!
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!
