The Short Shadow

Tags: shadow

A puff of a cigarette, specially with some of the good friends after a long working day sharing some useless gossips of life, politics, and anything and everything that "important for the world" or economy of the country or maybe anything but truly, nothing cheers more that this "life-changing" activity. oh! yes, a piture is like the cherry on the top for all of my friends.

Sometimes I amazed, why I like to stop by that small hut every possible day? Is it my frustrating job? is that crazy a nicotine or an alcohol? or is it friendly hang out that inspires me for next day to think I am not as badly stuck I thought! or maybe those "important topics" we discussed? or it's just a place, different one, neither an office nor a home.


On a very boring day I was following my routine. I stopped by that tapri and waiting for my friends. A minute later kaka the owner and the chief and whole-n-sole of that tapri brought me a cup of tea. I was seated on the edge of a big rock.That rock makes an angle with the streetlamp on the broad road. sometimes I feel that the stretched Shadow of the rock is trying to run away from the rock. But changing destiny is the dream!




I was thinking vigorously about my routine, dreams, and the destiny and with sound of every passing train the speed of my thoughts were increasing. at one moment I saw my small shadow just beside the shadow of the rock. Eureka! I found another shadow; after so many years I realized that there are two shadows. one of them is the big one, stretched one, visible one.

The GOD is really very funny! god has given the most precious thing called "intelligence" to the human being but he forgets to teach the application of that intelligence. ;D ;D

We always have been noticed that big, stretched shadow and funnier is that we always have considered that the shadow is the impression of the streetlamp placed in front of the rock. That particular day I realized that we are under the wrong impression. Its because we always have ignored short shadow and try to catch the long shadow.

Answers are hidden where the question lies! very true.

I found an answer, why am I here, as a routine? It's that short shadow. I come here to find that short shadow. The shadow of little me. The shadow which always been ignored because of the long shadow of responsibilities, the passion of achieving the dream, the shadow that exists forever even the long shadow changes its shape and placement, the shadow which is the outcome of the nearest source of light. the shadow of real me!


The friendship of this "katta" friends is so innocent. The friendship which had no expectations. the only friendship which gives little me back. The friendship makes me realise my true happiness.

"Little me" is really important. Its always said that there  is a kid inside evryone. When I used to be the kid, when I had no taste of responsibilities, when I was not the society, and when I had only one thing in my mind which was the only reason of my every small activity was the HAPPINESS. The satisfaction of being happy.

That small hut and some of my friends, we come together and we try to find our real happiness. The same happiness when we used to get when we were kids. many times we get fraction of it. but ultimately something is better than nothing!
