A day dreamer.....

In the faint light of attic , a mid aged man standing on a crawling ladder searching a bag with an ease to see. Don't know what he was searching. After searching lot he got a bag. Brushing aside a wisp of cobwebs he titled the top box towards light and began to carefully lift out one old photograph album after another. His search began with the fond recollection of love of his life. Long gone, somewhere in this albums was a photo of his elder son he hoped to rediscover. Patiently opening the long buried treasure. He soon was lost in sea of memories with past more alive in his heart then his present. Setting aside one of the dust albums , he pulled from the bag appeared to be album of his growing child. But this time he was recollecting a memories of his younger child who was studying in a 10th Standard. Opening sticky pages of the album subsided by the yellow tone.. He glanced over the photographs and his lips curved in an unconscious smile. Even his eyes brightened as he saw the images that spoke clear and sweet to his soul. It was the voice of the little boy who had grown up far too fast in this very house. In the utter silence of the attic the words of guileless six year old worked their magic and carried the man back to a time almost totally forgotten.Photos after photos , stirred a sentimental hunger in his heart but it was accompanied by painful memory that what he will do..... Which stream he will going to choose.... Will he be able to clear medical entrance examination as he used to say....?
His son always say that I wan a do something different , Something unique....

But how different?

While thinking he suddenly closed album and turned to leave, having forgotten the cherished photo that originally triggered his search. Hunched over to keep from bumping his head on rafters the man stepped to the stairway and made his descent to den. He moved towards door in thinking of his son's career. All his joy shred away in a second. He ran away long skinny fingers over the door net. This all situations seen by the son for whom he was tensed. His son know read fathers face & asked him," Dad what Happen..? Is there something problematic. Father replied,' No my dear everything is fine. You say, How is your studies going. It's a very important year for you. Do concentrate on your studies properly as if you really wan a go in medical you need a thorough study. This two consecutive years will decide your path. He himself was lit bit in a pain but never showed up. He smiled & said I am confident that one day you will do it. Though he was not assure about his son success but then too he gave +ve attitude to him. Which enriched his son with lots of energy pills.

' You won't believe
this energy pills converted
words via action in to reality......'

2years later..... Finaly the time arrived when he has to prove himself. Even this 2years was not as good but he want to achieve as sunshine were his highest Aspirations. He was trying like anything.... Facing letters for 18hrs were not easy task but as we know nothing happens till you do. He always used to say that....

' I may not reach them, but i can look up and see their beauty ,
believe in them and Follow where they may lead.'

Simply he throw-ed his heart over the fence and the rest followed.In between, While he sped down the field, Across a shallow dip he lost his step & slipped many times. Even he faced criticism...
"Quit! Give up! You're beaten!
They shout at him and plead."

There's just too much he heard against him.
And failure hang up his head. Embarrassed,sad,he only wished To disappear somehow.
But whenever he think of it, father anxious face appeared in front of him, which clearly said, 'Get up and win the race.'

He quickly rose,no damage done, Behind a bit,that's all And ran with all his mind and might to make up for his fall. So anxious to restore himself. This anxiousness supports him to run as much as faster he can.

This all leads him to a .....................
