Remember your childhood?
When in the drawing,
there were only 3-4 big brown
mountains
with river flowing in between,
one beautiful house with flower
pots by its side
and yes, the big white and
round clouds you made?
That was the way the beautiful
world seemed to us then.
That drawing was the reality in
our minds!
As we grew up,
that drawing lost importance
and we accepted that it’s not
the way the world is.
In reality, there are big-big
buildings,
lots of cars and traffic,
limited trees and rivers
without water.
But then, life took a new turn.
I came to Meghalaya,
A beautiful place to be!
It now seems that I’ve entered
into my childhood drawing.
When I look up in the sky
I find patches of blue and
white
which reminds me of the
childhood
And the clouds that I made!
Yes, the same white clouds…
Round and fluffy,
Just the way they should be
Anywhere I look,
I see beautiful mountains
covered with trees
And yes, with cold and icy
water
Flowing amid them.
Yes, finally the drawing has
turned into reality
And I have that beautiful scene
around me
Finally, I can happily say
That I have met my childhood
Again, once again!
