In the midst of an echo

In an amazing conflict between a child's urge and a father's impuissance had the curative silence emerged. This was the most anticipated period to subside the wrangle that received a one on one voluntary plunge. And yet the debate remained between the keen and curious young and the wise.

This young boy grew in the shade of doubt which happens to be a gift of curiosity.


Blessed with an enduring son, the father realized their relation to be a god gifted experiment- an experiment of life to unravel the mystery that he gave up when young. In the midst of an echo had he awaited a sound that he wished to hear. And now he wishes for his son to discover that echo, the boon that was once undesirable.


An emotion can enliven the bygone moment and this is exactly what the father realizes. He had an answer for his son's curiosity but all these years have taught him that every individual has a different answer !


Swaying and hovering over such questions during his childhood, did the father find an answer. The aftermath was what mattered the most and took him into conventional ways, taken routes and the ambitions that is immanent in human nature. In the twists and turns of life, he reached that calm, peace of mind where he was able to look back. Happy was he to find an answer but a deeper introspection gave him a picture of what really had happened then.

In the midst of an echo, had he searched for a satisfying answer that could pave his way for the journey he had sought. Glad enough was he with the answer that he forsook the question that got him an unyielding curiosity.

Now when he looks into his son's eyes, he is reminded of those golden days. He is desperate to impart to his son the understanding of life he had gained but equally determined to let his son figure it out for himself.. for there is no right or wrong answer but an answer for every single one of us.
