Woh Kagaz ki Kashti...

I walk through the empty streets in the morning of mumbai....the morning breeze giving me goosebumps...and my soul waiting for the first ray of sunshine to fall on me...I prefer morning walks becoz they give me the energy I need for the day...But today, besides energy...I needed something...A hope...An inspiration...A thought...

I see a few kids walking through the street with me .... and before i knew it, I was chit chatting with them..those kids were the everything i was looking for...happy...enthusiastic...anxious...and self content...
Totally reminded me of the song:

Woh Daulat bhi le lo..Woh shohorat bhi le lo...Bhale cheen lo mujhse meri jawani..
Magar mujhko lauta do...Bhachpan ka sawan..Woh kagaz ki kashti...Woh baarish ka paani..........................................

Why cant we all be like that...innocent...friendly....without any inhibitions....without any prejudices...
One of the kids was dumb and deaf...couldnt communicate...A thought that crossed my mind...Whats the point of communicating?? when all it can create is differences...Our power to communicate has made more enemies then friends....be it inter-racial differences...Inter-caste differences....or cultural difference....or even the mere difference of gender...

I wish the world was a better place...I wish I could do something to help...I wish there was something i could change...someone i could influence positively...and thats when it struck me...This is what i wanted...A hope...An inspiration...A thought...A change i wanna make...A change I WILL make...
