“Take away love, & our earth’s a tomb”. When we say or
express “I LOVE YOU”, it means, giving you totally minus
ego, minus ‘I’. Love’s a flower & a river that needs to
spread its fragrance & waters to all barren hearts. Holding
love too tight makes it lose its sanctity & freedom. This
story is about me.
I longed desperately for love. As always, one evening when I
was taking a stroll in the gardens, I found a two starving
birds that were craving for love & attention just as me. I
took them home & put them in a small gliding cage. Nurturing
them with love, care, attention, which I had been craving
for, I gave all to them & they grew strong. Every morning I
was greeted with a good song. I wouldn’t say, I was falling
in love but love was making me rise. Though I had a full-
fledged family, I still craved for love attention. My
husband, Madan is busy in his world & he has hardly found
time & given his love to our child & me. Yet I have been
waiting like a barren land for his showers of love
continuously for 3 long years. Absent mindedly, I left the
cage open one day. The larger & the stronger of the 2 birds
flew off. I was watching anxiously as it circled around my
head. Suddenly feeling that even this love would go away
from me, I held it very tight. And then, it was I noticed
that the bird had gone limp just like me. “Why did I do it?”
I wondered. Wandering in my thoughts, I saw another bird
twittering in the cage. And it was at this moment; I
realized that the bird needed to fly. There was a great need
for the bird to soar into the sky along with his loved ones.
All that mattered to me now was freeing it. Circling once,
twice, thrice, the bird sang one of the melodiest songs of
selfless love I had ever heard. My heart was no longer
concerned with its loss. I was giving my share of love.
Watching all this mutely, my husband, Madan walked away even
after seeing all this. I have learnt my lesson. The fastest
way to lose love is too hold on too tight, & the best way to
keep love alive is to Give Its Wings!! I have given wings to
my beloved husband, Madan. Hope he gives me the “WINGS OF
LOVE”.
Friends, in this techno- fast pacing world, we at some end
or another phase tend to take each other for granted,
claiming that we have ladders of success to climb; but fail
down to see, that success follows you, I or Madan only when
we love, bear, share, care – the 4 ingredients of a happy
life.
So, the next times dear wives, your husbands fail to give
attention relate them this story and make your life happy &
lovable. I’m still trying to have his love and waiting….
