You board the train to travel to your native town for the festival of Diwali.
The train is running full house. You can see people waiting for the Ticket Checker with their 'Waiting' Tickets.
With a confirmed ticket in your wallet, you consider yourself lucky.
No sooner did you complete the ticket checking formalities and hit your berth for a good night sleep than you catch a glimpse of a kid.
He must be 3 years old and is notorious. He is sharing the berth with his mother.
Making you nostalgic, He reminds you of those days when you too were of his age and used to share the berth with your mother.
As a kid you never slept alone on the berth. You always feared that you will fall down.
Years went by and you grew up. From school to college and from college to office things happened.
At times you succeeded and at times you failed.
But somewhere at the back of your mind the fear still persists- the fear that you will fall down in Life.
You are lost in this reverie when the kid approaches you and startles you with his innocent question,
"Uncle, are you छोटा भीम?"
You don't know how to respond. You simply smile.
No matter how kiddish a questiom, your thoughts gather and revolt,
If a kid can fantasize the super hero in you why can't you identify him. Why do you live in a constant fear?
They say, Kids are Avatars of God Himself. Unknowingly this kid too, alike God enlightens your mind.
There resides a Super Hero in each one of you. Finding him and using his powers to its fullest is the need of the day.
This Diwali, let's unleash the Super Hero within. Come let's give up the fear and pave the way for courage.
Here's wishing you a Happy and a determined Diwali...
Let there be Light...
