HELDIN

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 .....
