Ever let the fancy roam


Hot rays of sun was stinging in her throat,her lips were dried by thirst and she was yearning for water.She was running in the desert.Alone having thirst of water she ran in search of water.Every time when she ran her throat got more dry.Atlast she sat down helplessly.Suddenly,she saw a water well.Yeah!this is what she was searching for.Thoughts of sweet,pure and cold water made her to run and she was running towards the well.While running her throat was getting wild to absorb water into it.She had a lust of water and now she could fulfill it.But when she reached at the spot,she realised that was just her illusion which comforted her thoughts for a while.She was happy but for a few minutes and suddenly she realised that she had to die due to thirst.She sat helplessly and cried.

Maybe she will get water and maybe she won't get it,or maybe she will be died.Whatsoever may happen atleast she was happy for sometime.

Sometimes illusions sooth you and they make you ready for the battle.Sometime escape is necessary.Your fancy is necessary to make you happy and comfortable.Little time to your spirituality make easier for you to fight with everlasting materialism.

Now-a-days,i prefer to pass smiles and laughter so that no one can notice the hidden pain.This illusion is necessary to show others that you are still strong when they expect that you are totally broken.Some illusion gives comfort to you and some to others.

I can't make my self an alien from the society but i confess i live in other world where only my happiness exist.And when i get hurt from this world i prefer to go there.You might take me as fanatic.Well,yes i am fanatic,mad,alien and whatever you may call.But my fancies comfort my pain and then i find myself ready to fight again the battle.So.long battle is.John Keats said:
   Ever let the fancy roam
   Pleasure is never at home...

Once,in class of literature we were reading an essay,that was about a man who had a fish pond.People used to wonder that how beautiful pond he had.They used to think that it might have had so many fishes.Now that man used to invite people for fishing.Everyday a new person used to come and they both used to talk for a long time and that man had all apparatus to catch fishes,and wine room so that his guest may have some wine while fishing.But strangely,they never got any fish.But they had so much fun while fishing.Guess what?that pond never had any fish and this secret was known very well by that man.I really felt weird and when my teacher asked to us that how was that i just loudly said:
 "what a big cheater he is!"
My teacher had an eye on me and said:
 "he has taught you such a good thing and you missed a chance.well,cram it and one day when
  you'll know what he said then do come to me!"
I just fluttered my lashes to her and gave a smile,but still my point was same.But now i got it.For that man those moments matter which he used to spend with his guest.Fishes was just an illusion to have some comfort.What he desired was spiritualism fishes were just the source of happiness...

Well,i don't know whether my post made any sense or not.I am not sure whether i did justice to it or not.thoughts are so scattered you know.But what i know is this college is going to start at 1st october(may it never come,lol),and till then i want to be in my illusions.Let me stay there for a while and let me have some peace so that i might find myself prepared for that fight.

Did i tell you that i got 3.93cgpa:D

Sayonara!

  1. I am in love with your writing. Honestly, I loved it! It made more than sense to me, it was simply beautiful. I know what you are talking about...illusions are necessary to hide the pain, face the world with courage and also to get satisfaction/peace of mind. I would also use these words "imagination/fantasy/ escapism/ dreaming..." in the place of the word "illusion"...but illusion seems to be the perfect word...
    I love the spiritual undertone in your writing...I can go on and on...but I want to simply say that you are a lovely soul, capable of such deep and pristine thoughts...you could also be a great story teller one day...publish a book in your own style...
    Keep it up !

  2. Heartiest congratulations for your CPGA that puts you in 1st class! A big achievement, keep it up! :)

    I enjoy reading your story. It's alright to have fantasies and dreams if they could ease the pain. I do feel good when I fantasize something good. So, in a way it does uplift my spirit.

    I'm carried away in the fantasy of this story. It's really interesting. :)

  3. Loved it zarnab...specially the flow of words...:)

    seriously speaking, these words make a lot of sense to me....
    as far as illusions are concerned, though illusions distort reality, but at times they do help to keep ourselves within that comfort zone...

    and big congrats for ur CPGA....:)

  4. I had to read it carefully the second time ;)

    Pain and illusion ~ these are many times intertwined to ease what is hurting. Your heart will tell you when it's time to face it. Take courage.

    I like the story of the fishes ~ well, it just hit me. Perhaps we just see what is obvious and superficial ~ like pain in experiences. But what could be learned from fishing in a pond without fishes?

    I'm diving deeper Zarnab. Thanks for the food for the thought :)
