Autumn inside is no less than Spring.

Autumn inside is no less than Spring.

Engr. M.A. Basit (SAIM)

The leaves are saying good bye to the old friendly branches which hugged them for months or so.  Cold winds have invaded the season and are capturing the cities of green state. The birds with sad hearts have restricted their chirping voices to play background music for the drama of winter. It is the time, when I am always sad.

The autumn always reminds me the time, the persons and the places I have lost in the race of life. It is a fact that what we have left behind  is less important than what we are being blessed to move ahead. But this is what our mind believes in but not the heart. And I believe that whenever we have an un-intended look on the autumn face, the tides of sadness flowing through the sea inside our souls are indicative of the deepness in our relation and attachment to the the people sunk down in our past. I am not a person who loves to stay dissolved in past and not to run for newer goals and objectives in life. Equally, I believe that a corner inside your heart , decorated with old broken toys of friendships, having half-painted postures of relations on the walls and some dusty pictures of memories on the floor is more than a coffee shop and a juice corner. You can meet your old friends, once you enter the this house inside your heart.  

Inside Heart

Most of the people believe that it is not a healthy activity. I wonder if they ever tried to make such a house for their friends and beloved ones inside their heart. Time never remains same. We have to be deprived of every relation around. We have to make newer and newer patterns of life accompanied by cosmetically developing relations. But it always necessitates to build a small house  inside your heart for those who are gone and to let them to make you sad when you peep inside your heart to see them no more with you. This small corner has the ability to share the place equally for thousands and thousands of people which may include your parents, grand parents, your school fellows, your friends and even the foes too. 

Every autumn leave falling down can remind you any of the person inside and can make you to peep inside your heart again and again. Staying alone in a cluster of thousands is one of the symptoms arguing  scientifically that you have constructed a corner inside your heart where you have placed many of the broken relations and the lost friendships like your childhood toys and you still love them very much. This art of recalling the friends and relations lost not only enables you to respect the newer relations and to resist the time swings which try to break your newer relations afterwards. The last but not the least is the fact that it keeps the faces lost alive. And  some day, some time, when you meet an old friend, you have spring season restored and the the small corner inside you is full of joy. Despite of so much darkness inside, you have a candle illuminated which guides you to have much more light than your outside can have. So, always love the relations you ever had, as it is the only way to bring them back or to pay them a tribute for which they deserved and to keep the existing relations better and spring-full.
