This post, is a short story, of a Baby. A living being, to be precise. This creature, landed on this earth one fine day, inheriting the qualities of it's ancestors, bestowed with the blessings of GOD. As they say, every baby is GOD's way of saying, 'I'm not completely pissed off with Humans'.
This baby is exhibiting purest form of innocence and happiness. It seems to have lots of hope on this earth, on it's creator, and on it's fellow human beings. It wanders in the infinite space. It has no idea, though, that these are mere fault promises, and the people it trusts, wont live up to it, and the infinite space, it's wandering now, would soon shrink to a crooked narrow lane,centered towards a little cubicle of selfishness. It has no idea, that it's landing on this earth, is just the end result of a long process of infinite search. A search of the Universe, the constellations, the Nature itself to evolve. No just born baby, or ex just born babies, like us, realize that, we're all the emerging winners to land up on this earth. We've already fought a good fight, competing with millions of others, to materialize as a living being. When, we're born, we've already the winners. :)
Unfortunately, we embark on an endless search of things. This baby is now 15 years old, and it already lost it's charm and innocence. It's infinite space, is shrunk to a great extent, and it's gradually centering towards, it's own self, it's family, it's society. Now, it's given the first fault promise by the society. To score well, and land up in a good college. The Boy, has no idea, that this is just the start of the endless array of fake promises this society holds. :)
This baby is compromised to lose it's joy, in doing the things he liked, and brainwashed like an Al-Queda terrorist getting ready for suicide attack, that sacrifice is the only way of achieving greatness. People, never allows this baby to listen to it's heart, to pay attention to the sprout of it's dreams. Alas! He secures good marks and lands up in one of the engineering colleges, you always see on fancy ads in TVs. Now, it's given another false promise on the checklist of studying well, and ending up in a good job.Like an insurance company, which always hides, the interest rates, by a terms and conditions star mark, the society, never guarantees that, these checklist would give happiness and personal satisfaction.
This baby, which has already narrowed down it's infinite space, is living on a self centered world. A world, where internal marks is more important than anything, and pleasing the HOD, is the most divine job on this earth. The remnants of it's first dream sprouts occasionally, in it and it never pays attention. The baby is being trained to be a mechanical servant in this 4 years.BE degree literally trains it's graduates, to be a servant to this society for their rest of the lives., As promised, it lands up in a good job, and gives a sigh of relief only to be given yet another task in the checklist. Yet another fake promise. To be extremely selfish, extremely crooked and extremely wicked with it's fellow beings, get promotion, and climb up the corporate ladder.
Ofcourse, society always never advice to climb this ladder, with the use of talent. Because the baby is already trained to be like this in it's 4 year curriculum. The baby is now 24 years old, and already ticked many boxes in the checklist given by society. Now the baby is matured, and it's conscience never allows it to follow the blunt advices, and rein in the false promises. It realize, it's pathetic situation of getting stuck up with an endless loop of 'To Do' list, and wants to get off with this crap. But the roller coaster, is already started, and it's on the midst of it's horrifying ride. The baby cant, jump out of it.
The baby gets to the verge of breaking up the clamps, when the society, comes up with a Biggest bonanza offer.! Marriage. It makes the baby believes, that all the hardships it, went through, and all the acquisitions it made, were only to end up at this stage. Now, they play the soul mate selection game with the baby. They make the baby believe that, horoscope and the alignment of the stars, are more important than personal choice. The baby believes the society this time too, only to realize, it's the biggest fake promise ever made, and the whole process of this game is centered around the sole object of being more selfish, more crooked, and more useless. :)
And then, the Nature plays the cycle game. The whole of the Nature, conspires, and the baby becomes the father of it's baby. Everyone is a baby. A boy, A dad, A grand dad, A great dad, none of these designations, denies the fact that, you're Nature's baby. Just that, we're contaminated, adultered babies. :)
And then the next big thing in the checklist for the Father baby is to give all the fake promises it got from the society, to this new baby.. :) Like a recursive function, this continues endlessly through various loops.
And this checklist, contains a last field, which is not revealed, till the right moment arrives. And, the good news is that, this is not a fault promise, and it's indeed the only sincere promise in it's long list. :) If this checkbox, is at the top of the checklist, none of the babies, will do the rest of the things in the checklist. :)
And it is, the one and only, inevitable,
.......,
.......,
........,
Death.!.. The process of plucking out the old, withered plants, and replacing it with new saplings, would be an euphemistic way of denoting it.
All of the acquisitions, achievements, money accumulated over endless pursuits ends here. And at this stage, the baby realize the mere futility of all this, (pudunganathu poora theva illatha aani thaan.. :) :) ) and that the mere purpose of Life is in living. Not just existing. It now wants to live unclasped from the clutches of it's surroundings, free in it's own mind, and do the little things it loves..
