Love out of(f) life....

It was drizzling outside and Ryan was watching over the window that provided a graceful view of the beautiful pathway in front of Ryan's house. It looked as if it was a path leading to heaven. So magnificent it was in the drizzling rain. As Ryan was looking through the window, drops of raindrops were pouring over his head and trickled down through his lips into the floor. Ryan tasted those fresh raindrops and was enjoying the rain when the water turned salty. Ryan wondered if the ocean went over the sky, though it sounded crazy. But, Ryan realized that it was not the result of ocean over the sky or of any supernatural phenomenon, those were his tears that rolled down his cheeks and into his lips. Ryan was surprised that his emotions over powered his intellect that they expressed themselves as burst of tears. But, Ryan was not so surprised of this emotional outburst!

Well, Ryan is like any other ten year old living with his working parents in an apartment in Utopia. Both of his parents were working and they leave home by 7 am and Ryan sees them only at 7 pm. Ryan always got the best in his life, best house, best food, best education and everything that a 10 year old needs. But, Ryan missed out the parental love, which Ryan has rated as his prime requirement. He wanted to be with his mom, wanted her to teach him lessons and feed him food. He started feeling that life is full of sacrifices where loss of one leads to gain of another. His parents used to convince him saying that earning now will provide him a better future. They used to say him about the financial burden. Ryan is so intelligent that he understood all these factors.


Inside Ryan was this longing mind, that even though it was convinced that his parents are working hard only for his wellness and the ultimate benefits are only for him, the need for that emotional comfort kept haunting his mind and made him a wistful creature. He was not sure if the trend in global education is the cause for all these increased burden on his parents. The world was initially with men working hard to earn the family's living and the mother takes pains in bringing up her child. She gets immense joy in seeing her child grow in front of her eyes. But, the race for survival in today's world has made even that holy heart (mom) to hurry towards office. Ryan was upset at his mother's pains in working too.

But, what will this ten year old do? He was eagerly awaiting a change in his family. Ryan also knew that the change is to be brought all over the world. Distribution of wealth rather accumulation, elimination of black money, terminating education as a business commodity and so forth. But, this little mind, not want of killing his joy of enjoying rain, slowly subsided to the window pane again and once again looked at that heavenly pathway. He was still confused as whether his parent's efforts to bring the love out 'of' his life to him, leading to taking the love out 'off' his life! Drops trickled down his cheeks this time too, but were not salty as those salty ones had had their emotions!
