Why are you sad , my dear ?

Jai Gurudev !!




Why are you sad , my dear ?



It was one bright sunny morning , just before the onset of the afternoon. Time to refresh and go for a coffee break  at the office cafetaria. 

Sitting with a colleague of mine over the coffee table ,  relishing the first sip of the aromatic coffee , freshly ground in the Coffee machine , was indeed refreshing . Just after a few sip , my sight took a leap and caught hold of something unusual , outside in the garden area.  

There sat perching on the branch of a wide spread tree , a lovely green colour parrot . Was just admiring the beauty of the Creation and my eyes sticked on to the beautiful bird for some more moments , completely unaware of the coffee cup getting empty gradually.

 That moment , it striked me that the parrot was all alone and stayed there like a statue , motionless.
Beyond it's beauty , I could sense that something not alright for that tiny creature. 
My colleague's venture to start a conversation on a fresh topic did not distract my attention , which caused her also to take a glance at the rare sight outside the glass window pane.She broke the silence and said , " Hey !A single parrot sitting standstill for a long time !!"

The canteen boy who had noticed this , came to our rescue , to answer to our puzzle.
" Yesterday , a parrot had fell down dead in the garden lawns . Once we spotted that , it was me who disposed it " , said the boy in a husky tone.

Perfect Match ?!

The reason behind the  worry of the aloof parrot became crystal clear.

The poor parrot had lost it's pair , due to which it was reeling under the agony of seperation.

"Oh !! What a pity !! "



Oh ! Where's my love ?



What else can be done from our side , except to feel a moment for the pathetic state of the bird . 

Afterall we live in a so called  busy world !!

Engrossed in the buzz of office activities , the parrot did not come to my mind at all .
Back home, relaxing in the sofa with a cup of tea , slowly the picture of the desperate parrot came alive on my mind screen.

A cluster of words rose up from within in that still, calm and relaxed moment ,

" Be the parrot or a dog or a human being , what difference does it really make , 
when it comes to the pain of seperation of a loving companion ? "

Started to realise the truth , 

" The soul inside seems to sport an identical behaviour though the body that covers it is of multiple variety !!"



Hey ! Our soul is the same as yours !!



Love & smiles..
