A Tale of a Star...

A star was born this day some years ago. This tiny star grew brighter and brighter to be a beautiful and radiant light...a light that shone on dark skies and lit up the nights of many a lonely souls. This star travelled from one dark soul to another diminishing their darkness as she twinkled on them radiantly. Then one night, she came into my skies...she stopped by, taking rest and happened to meet my soul. She looked in there and realised that I was all alone...so very alone in my darkness refusing to go forward, afraid of meeting more darkness. The star realised that many have trodden and tortured my soul. So she sprinkled some beautiful silver dust on me and told me this..."you have to get up child...get up and trek...keep trekking, never stop...you may meet treacherous waters - swim with confidence. You may meet mighty big mountains - climb them with courage. But never forget to look up at the skies and see the stars...cos darkness is just a small part when you realise that so many stars exist...so light up your way and keep trekking...and keep the stars in your mind". Yes that's the message she gave me from her various conversations with me. And it helped me to move on on days that I thought I could never do...it helped me to leave my loneliness and trek as much as I could...and to try as much as I can no matter what. I believe in God's wonders...this star is His creation, for directing His children who are in darkness...

I came across this star here in the blog skies...this BEAUTIFUL star's name is Uttara and it's her birthday on the 5th of Feb. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY GUIDING STAR! I don't know if I can be a star for you but my wish for you on your birthday is that I will be there for you when you are feeling down...'cos even stars need rest and company...so I hope I will be there for you like you were there for me ever since we met. And thanks Puneet for making me meet someone as amazing as Uttara is, cos if not for your blog, I wouldnt have met her. So let's celebrate this super-star today ;-) Those of you who know Uttara, describe her in your comments using just one word. Have a blast celebrating this great day folks!

I dedicate 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by GNR especially for you Uttsy!

She's got a smile that it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky...

Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

And if I'd stare too long I'd probably break down and cry...

Sweet child o' mine...Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies

As if they thought of rain

I hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide and pray

For the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine

Where do we go

Where do we go now

Where do we go

Sweet child o' mine...
