NIGHT SKY IS STILL !! THEN WHAT CHANGED ??

Night sky has always remained a wonder for a young girl who hailed from a small town in Kerala. The shining  night stars has always amazed her .. She never became tired looking for the grandmother cooking on the moon as she has always heard in the stories told to her .. Back then power cuts made her smile as it helped her escape her study hours to come to the verandah of her house where she could gaze at the beautiful night sky. The aeroplane that passed very rarely above her house made her thrill.. she would run with bare feet to the ground to look at that tiny aeroplane and wave as she believed someone is watching her from it .. she continues to wave till the plane fades out of her sight. Years passed she has grown up .. she stood on the terrace of her apartment in the metro city still looking at the night sky above all those sky scrapers and the tall mobile towers ...the stars still shining and moon smiling ... now she knew that there was no grandmother cooking out there in moon .. she has started facing the real world ... The plane that passed was never again a rare phenomenon .. but the excitement in her eyes never faded ..she still gazed at the planes till they moved far away out of her sight but now she has stopped waving at them... Soon she was lost in her thoughts about what all has changed around her .. the power cuts never made her happy again .. she realised her life is a cob web now .. constrained .  But looking at the night sky gave her the same pleasure that she always used to have as a young girl.. It was not the excitement about the escape from her study hours but from the same routine of her boring city life .. She stood there gazing at the moon and stars .. missing her childhood days .. where she was a free bird .. who had no responsibilities and expectations about Life !!
