Becoming a Bird: A Daydream of Freedom

A wonderful prompt. A wish, so many of us think that we should have such a power, like Superman, Batman. Changing one self as per the wish and the need.

If I were allowed to be someone for a day, I would like to be a ‘bird’.

A bird with strong feathers, who could fly across the world as per its whims.

It can reach the heights it wants.

As a bird, I won’t have any restrictions, no borders, no barrier of languages, race, caste.

No one will judge me if I am rich or poor.

Thinking about this, I just remembered a song from one of the Bollywood movie “Refugee”.

It goes as –

Panchhi, Nadiya, Pawan Ke Zonke,

Koi sarhad na inhe roke,

Sarhad insano ke liye hai,

socho, tumane aur humne, kya paya insan hoke

which translates as

Birds, rivers, wind flows

No borders can ever stop them

Borders are meant for human beings,

So, its worthless to be a human being.

Wish I could be a bird someday.

Would like to know yours…
