Flight of hoe...

He was sitting on a bench,put up by bhopal government in front of Chinar park,in a row along the road with trees around and park in the background.It was 11:30 in night..he was driving home and then suddenly he stopped, parked his bike and made himself comfortable on the bench. His eyes were glistening with tears, which he was trying really hard to hide, he didnt even realize that no one is around. He again calculated his age, yes today he has turned 23.
A leaf  crushed under his feet, he diverted his mind there and saw an insect trying to save his life from his tattered shoes which were moving idally..he picked up a twig lying nearby and pushed the insect gentally on the twig, suddenly he saw wings which were folded till now by the insects side, opened up and it flew away in the darkness. Coming back from this stint in fantasy back to his present state he realised , yes wings...this is what he requires to run away from all his troubles.only a pair of strong wings which can hold him up in the air,take him wherever he wants specially away from his present.. he stood up stretched his hands on both sides, started waving them up and down ,fast,then faster..then jumped in the air struggled sometime for the favourable gust of hot air, then away he went, away, far away from all the troubles...............
