“Hungry lion inside a cage”

Standing alone inside a cage, where there is no door to move on and when I look up at the sky , I found “Sky is the limit” and I have no options to choose rather than going inside a cage.

Sometimes Just like others, even I want to run like a jaguar in an open jungle but situation wants me to be like a frog inside a well which is always dark. Since childhood I was just like a frog inside a well who knows nothing about the outside world but knows everything inside a well. I was the leader among other frog of that well. One day I got a chance to come out from the well and when I stand and open my eyes, I saw so many are there in the Cat family. I tried to compete with them. During the race so many times I fell down, I was all alone. So many are there to pull me back to go inside the same well where I came from but some how I succeeded while competing with the Cat family. I was able to create a place for me in the CAT family. But still I want to fly like a bird.

I learned to identify the characteristic of the person who are there in the cat family. Each and everyone have their own stripes. Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Jaguar, Cheetahs, ordinary cats etc…. situations want me to be a king just like a lion in the cat family but that time I played as an ordinary cat. Situation wants me to stand in front of a lion, the king the winner of the cat family, I was able to see , how the winner enjoy the shades of the beautiful colors of their life while I was struggling to come out from the shades of black and white. Everything seems to be grey.

Whenever I knock the door to enjoy a cup of milk by closing my eyes, situation close the door. I was afraid to fight with the wolf and jackals who stand in front of me as a social animal. God knows the name of their family. Standing alone in an open dark jungle, I tried to go back into the same well because I was afraid of darkness In an open jungle.

One day while going back, coincidentally I met with a tiger. I thought to run away but he stands in front of me and shows me a direction where to go, How to go……? Within a short frame of time, I have seen him in a different way. Sometimes he stands in front of me as an ordinary cat with white and grey stripes. Sometimes his thoughts run like a jaguar and he used to share with me. Sometimes he led as a leader just like a lion in a jungle and wants me to follow him. He speaks about cat family in an event? How could a person change his stripes so frequently and manage to stand in front of an ordinary cat?

Rather looking back, I started following him. I felt proud to be in the cat family of an open jungle. I started enjoying the open environment. I got a chance to change my stripes frequently. I got recognition, appreciation and rewards for my activities. But……

One fine morning, I visited the zoo. I was just Imagining the situation of a hungry lion in a zoo .That time I got a call and situation again put me inside a cage just like a lion in a zoo. Here I know when to go….but i don’t know how to go inside a cage?

Itishree…..
