Panchi banu udati firu.....

After a usual mad morning, I sat on my sofa with a hot cup of tea and Eat-Sum-More biscuits. Savoring the short bread, I casually looked out of the window, into the backyard. A slow breeze occasionally moved the branches of the tree touching my window sill. Slowly my thoughts, the mess in my house just faded and I focused on the tree and the single bird sitting on one of its branches,chirping happily. In a few seconds it hopped to another branch and then to another and was soon joined by another of its kind. Looking at the bird, I suddenly had a crazy thought- Wish I was a bird!!!!!!!! Just imagine!!!!!!!!!!! No daily household chores, no grocery shopping...no responsibilities...nothing....Simply fly from one branch to another, find insects or berries to eat, collect twigs for the nest and generally have a merry time. Fly long stretches in the open skies, flutter in small pools of water,sing a bird song and simply relax..........The thought put a song on my lips....Panchi banu udati firu masta gagan mein...aaj mein azaad hun duniya ke.....
