I had heard about the city
long time back through the tongues of human...,perfect world don't exist
and being erudite as me cannot be deceived, but for the
first time as I enter the magnificent gate I was astonished , not by the gate
but the beauty beyond, for the moment I was confused , awestruck ,is my eyes deceiving
me?... no beauty in the world could be compared it was a paradise indeed. I
stepped on the clear road with not even a tint of dust and I saw people
starring at me ... for a moment i
thought may be because I was a new to the
city but as the walked number
of starry eyes multiplying ....i looked at myself and them again and again and again …..footwear!
a small boy shouted and I just
noticed my footwear had been under
action of ‘wear and tear’as a result of long
journey.
I ran faster than the wind
with accelerating speed ,searching for a
footwear store , thank god ! I got one,
as I entered I was almost covered by a
beauties, one of them took me with her ,soon
after I saw myself amidst a range of
footwear she asked me which one ,I
had no answer believe me it was more tougher to choose shoes then to
answer whom do I love more mother or father ,because you know if you say you do love your
mother your father will be disheartened but somehow your
parents knows you love them equally so , you won’t regret your answer. But as of now I, have to
choose not between two or three but
among thousands ,I made
three rounds looking at everything
helplessly and finally I decided I went
to the center of room ,closed my eyes and pointed in one direction and I choose a yellow one , yellow eh! I said
to my hostess yes! my dear sir ,
Yellow, yellow
my dear fellow
Color of sun
the strength
Color of deep grasses in the shallow
Intricate
pattern, finest golden thread
Blended with
expertise hand..
Its nothing
but,
Kings, emperors wear....
Really ? I will take it, when I came out ,every inch
of my body perspired, the price my god
seriously activated whole of my
cells as if someone asked
me to climb Mt.Everest in a day .But I just remembered it’s a kings wear so, its fine. As I walked in the
city I saw everyone reading, writing,painting shopkeeper,gatekeeper,kids...its
great .I mean I like it but everything seems so silent ,peaceful...
As the day ended ,the flashing light street light, the melodious cacophony created a enchanting atmosphere ,somebody suggested me to go to cliff egre place were
we can get the best view of city ,after
a long hours walking against the cold north wind I saw it the city finally. I looked up at the stars I counted
the stars ,but I could see more stars in the city .The cold wind blew but I was lost in the moment looked at my footwear
I wondered whether kings and emperors really do wear this footwear, it’s not bad I means its good
much better than the one I do normally but... its fine its over I thought and suddenly
I heard a heavy breath getting near and near …at a moment I thought it be a monster but monster
did’t seem realistic may be a man eater
....everything assimilated in each of my body
got disintegrated , and suddenly
I heard hey! Pull me up!...then vividly I saw a had raising \ near my feet ,I
jumped then I don’t know
suddenly I pulled a shadow perhaps.Thanks! I was just climbing
this cliff but suddenly I lost the grip
thanks ....this is “amar” yours? my name is....leave it who cares..thanks
and next moment shadow was gone....
Did I just dream?
Was it a
ghost ? befallen
angels ?angels? it doesn’t
seem realistic, god save me ? I began to
make myself small as possible I wish I could vanish that very instant, but I know
this thing won’t happen, I ran fast as I could, my footwear for god knows was a hinder ,I had to pull it
off ,and run. I got a cab and
went to search for a place to
sleep, I knew I had limitations in terms of finance so, I opted for something
cheaper. I walked in the city along the pathways ,avenues, were to I know not,
it’s like I
left every thing in the hands of god. Finally I
saw a small tunnel , I decided to spent my night there.Night was creepy , I saw
no one , I closed my eyes and I don’t know I felt as if I had a great night. I love
sleeping not because it soothes thine
body ,but because this is something am good at webbing dreams , great people dream ,so do I .....
