lost bird. doesn't know which way to fly. being told- this way. no, that way. feels so lost.
wants to explore the world. longs to unfurl the little dreams it holds inside. looks inwards but finds white noise. outside. the cacophony of noises drowns out its little squeaks. 


little bird. feels so average. big dreams hover over its head. loved ones have such big hurdles they want it to cross. deep down, it hesitates scared. it knows it needs to fly, but it knows not the capacity of its little wings. can it get it as far as others want it to go, or will it crash and burn. 


hopeful bird. wants to dream. wants to discover. wants to achieve. what, it knows not. 
flutters around hoping for an answer. answer it finds not. 


how long will this go on? 
does this foolish bird know not,
the early bird catches the worm.

Attending a mundane university with the rest of the muggles holds no promise or excitement for someone like me, who is convinced that it is in the magical school of Hogwarts where I belong. Over the years, with each book of the series devoured, I have admired afar the interesting curriculum offered at Hogwarts. The sheer variety of interesting subjects offered is reason enough for me to pack my bags and zip my way through to Platform 9 3/4 and board the next Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts. Astronomy, Dark Arts, Flying, Potions, Transfiguration and Charms are so much more indispensable to human existence than the ubiquitous Biolo

love at first sight, they say

-
 At first a non believer, all Love took was a glance and talk at the local cafe, He walked into my life like a tornado and nothing remained the same. Flowers blossomed, birds chirped and the once lonely heart beat back to life. Years down the road, over some kathi rolls and coffee, We plan our happily ever after and laugh with glee. This post is a part of  Write Over the Weekend , an initiative for  Indian Bloggers  by BlogAdda.
