In search of my Lost parents

It was a happy family… leading a very simple life. My parents and I lived in a small cottage near the beautiful sea shore. The beautiful yellow sun rise and the marvelous orange sunset. I was brought up under the natures’ beauty. A beauty that’s never comparable. The water in the sea was glittering. Anyone would think that the sea was getting ready for a typical Indian wedding wearing all the ornaments.

My days passed by happily. As usual I left to my school in the morning and my father to his job. But today they left me very early from my school. My parents were not at home, infact my home itself was not there.

Where are they???????? I searched my parents. I searched them deep under the woods, high up in the skies and at all possible places where a boy of my age could search for. Where are they!!!! Leaving behind me alone.

Had they become invisible!!! Or playing just a hide n seek with me????

If it’s a game its ok but if it isn’t???

I heard from an uncle nearby that the calm sea had gone mad that day and he called it “tuunami”. It played its tricks on rich and poor, small and big, parents and youth. Will they return???

Then I searched among those who were sleeping and at last found my mom. She was in a deep sleep, I believe, that’s why even when I called her she didn’t get up… may be she didn’t hear me. I did not want to disturb her, so I returned to the place where my home was previously situated, waiting for my father to return.

He usually goes early in the morning catches big big fishes and returns in the evening. But today he is very late…..”Papa may have got a very big fish today, that’s why..”

I felt lonely and thought that I was left all alone and started building a mud house…. But when I turned around I found thousands of mud houses. Then I knew…. I knew I was not alone.

Then ‘OUR’ search continued… The search for our FUTURE...Do you know where it is????

Once an Hero...now????

I was once quoted by everyone saying "Thats how you should be". Am not bad now. But, things have changed around me so fast.. Even now people quote me as example but not the way i want them to....I was a very active kid and people expected a lot out of me. The biggest hurdle for any person is to rise up to the expectation and I did that with ease.
When I turn around,I myself wonder how i did those. The biggest hurdle that i had to cross was to get a job. Surprisingly i got that too..Things seemed to be going around well till then, until i lost what i considered to be my biggest asset, my job. That job i had gave me an identity, gave my parents a sense of pride. Thats gone now... Am back to the streets, taking my profile looking for companies with a "hire" board.
I dreamed a lot, just like any other guy of my age. I wanted to do a lot to my parents, to my brother n to his kid.... I see my friends realizing their dreams while am still dreaming about it...
Everyone will go through a difficult phase in his life but why am I going through difficult times alone????? Where am i heading to???
