Dear Diary..Will u listen the story of a Bird?


Dear diary,
Something is going inside me. A wind is blowing and it is taking me with it to different places but like every other dust particle caught up in it, I am also rotating and am in a state where I seek for stability. Dear diary, what is life? Is it a word which means to survive or is it a word which has deeper meaning like having a life in itself. Dear diary,the world is coming to a fatal end and I haven’t yet caught the glimpse of who I am. It’s like being in an ocean and yet not seen the reflection of yourself in it.

Dear diary, will u listen a story of a Blue Bird? 
Her name was Tyra and she was a beautiful blue bird with feathers so soft that she was called a soft candy. She was very pretty and fly in the open sky. She loved the sky so much that she never come up the ground until her wings start hurting. She was a passionate bird having the curiosity of reaching to the topmost level of the sky. For her, life was like a gift and she never wanted to waste it. She used to think that if nature has given her wings then why not she try to find out her creator who is somewhere behind the sky. All the friends of Tyra were more of usual chaps who were more spirited for winning the challenges which were put by the society. For them life was a circle encompassing their family, society and their friends. Tyra was just the opposite of what others were. She never liked her society as she found them and their rules mere subjected to their thinking and ease. She never understood the rituals, the curses. All she was curious about was the mystery behind the sky. Throughout her life she kept on trying to find out what was behind the sky until she met Novak. Novak was the person who saw in Tyra the zeal and the determination to be free. He had known Tyra long before they had even met.
Novak was a farmer ad he used to work on the corn field of his father. He was a simple human being who lived his life in peace as he knew the secret behind the sky. One day while Tyra had exhausted her wings by flying for several hours in search of reaching to the top of the sky, the winds had blown her towards the country side. She was resting on the head of a scarecrow when Novak saw her. He knew her the moment he saw her and offered her the water. Tyra exhausted by her effortless tries drank the water and said the man thank you and flew away. Novak saidw elcome and went back to do his work. He was smiling as he knew she would come again.
The next day Tyra was again sitting on the head of the scarecrow when Novak came and offered her water. Tyra was curious to know why the man always bring water for her, as she knew one thing about humans that they will always approach towards the birds with a word, ‘shoo’ on their tongue. She said thank you and couldn’t stop herself from asking that why he was acting unlike the other humans and shoo her away. “Who are you?” Tyra asked curiously. “I am Novak” Novak replied smilingly. “I am a farmer and I work here”. “Why you give me water every time I come here?” Tyra after all asked the question which was bothering her. Novak had known that she would ask this and said smilingly, “Did you found out what’s beyond the sky?” Tyra was shocked by the question which Novak had asked and with a moment of annoyance filled with curiosity, she asked him how he knew.
Novak had seen beyond the beautiful feathery skin of hers, the soul which denied remembering him but he did. “Just guessed”, Novak said jokingly. Tyra wasn’t satisfied with the answer but couldn’t argue with him as it was growing darker and she had to head back home. She thanked for the water and flew away.
That night it was raining and while Tyra was in her nest trying to sleep, her thoughts were consumed by the question, “Did u found what’s beyond the sky?” which Novak had asked her. She was annoyed with him as she could sense the mockery in his question. Everyone to whom Tyra have told her deepest desire of knowing what is beyond the sky, have made fun of her. Even the closest friend of Tyra, though not much closer, thinks of her as a crazy blue bird.
