Gliders in the skies!

Some time back a new movie that really inspired me to think and rethink about life was this Indian movie,'Zindagi na Milegi Dobara". Although the theme was almost the same that I repeat in my writings...the urge to live life at the fullest but one song that really took me by awe was the 'Khawabon kay Parinday'. You know it took me to years back when I wrote this little piece of poetry called, 'Broken Wings'..a melodramatic appeal to release me from all the restrictions that exist in our closed society..little that I thought at that stage was that the wings are never cut off .Its our selves who think that a bird inside us cannot fly in the open skies.There is so much to see, feel and do in this world that we may glide on and on and the unending skies will take us to the end of the rainbows..places where our minds have never even flown or thought of reaching. Its the bird inside us that has to take wings..take the courage to dive down or take off to new directions. We have to let go of our restrictions inside us holding us back to try new worlds, new horizons, new beginnings.Be a glider that just skims the skies without speed controls...just steer your controls to take the best options available to us and life will offer us the best. Till the time that bird inside is released to fly like a skimming glider we will keep feeling like a bird with cut off wings. You  see no one but ourselves is the pilot of our own destiny.Its only the will to survive and fight back and the hope to live life and appreciate the little things it offers us.We keep taking paths that lead us to only materialistic hoardings..never ever taking into account that happiness does not lie in material belongings..it comes from little things as compassion, appreciation, love and care.Like a pressed rose will never exude the same fragrance or colour.It is only the wild rose that grows on the mountain crannies that will give us more pleasure to attain it because then we will know the worth of attaining it with so many hardships.   The choice is yours..Be the glider that flies with birds of the same feather and enjoys the hardships of life to find true happiness or be a caged bird who thinks she/he will never ever be able to touch the skies or even know how it feels to enjoy the cold slashes of air against our faces..!!
