Sleeping beauty finally awake!
" Why should I not follow my heart? Why must I always follow the straight path? When deviations may crop up from anywhere, at anytime; Why is it necessary for me to never traverse an uncharted path? Everyone does whatever they like, why I'm I the only one they prejudice?
If you have the right to hurt one and support another, why aren't I allowed to love you however I want? Why must I always hide to satisfy your illogical whims?
For once at least, why can't i be the one to disclose my personal aspirations simmering at the rims? For once, why can't i stop pondering over the significance of what is right and what is wrong? Rather, why can't I just relax and do whatever my heart desires? Is it a wish too dire to even aspire for? Or is it only a fallacy, never to be had? "
- Countless thoughts may pervade through our entire world. Countless emotions may illuminate our entire core. Moreover, we ourselves may never know. How would it feel to realise the magnanimity of those exact wonders, veiled under a facade so strong that no one may harbour the courage to shatter it to pieces ever at all! An immensely gratifying dialect on it's own.
*Continuing from before*
Frankly speaking, "no one can beat the nerves of steel of a Good respectful Lady working for the good of others." Then how could a person like Dr. Tamanna of as mighty a caliber as "Thor" himself be defeated by the stubbornness of a little girl who had barely planted her roots in the colonial setup of this universe! And thus the great scheme to wake the sleeping figure up was finally set in motion.
Followed by the miniature Princess' Knight in shining armour, (more like pulling him as an extra added aid) the adult protagonist paved her route towards the sleeping beauty's bedroom. Obviously expecting the golden spaniel to have slept alongside his mistress, she was fully armed with Chicken flavoured pedigree snacks and a huge calcium bone for the lovable dog to gnaw on. Apart from the former tactics, she had a different sort of treat in store for the little lazy bum - One that would have instantly woken her up without much ado. Although in the longer run, she didn't need to implement it right that minute. So it pretty much ended up being a surprise for sometime later.
As soon as the couple reached their exact destination, they didn't make any hasty attempts to get in at first. They pretty much had started tiptoeing even before they reached the end of the lane leading up to her doorway. The minute they reached the elegantly furnished door adorned by a golden nameplate with "Ani" inscribed on it; they screamed at the top of their voices as if they were not civilised humans rather descendents of some primitive tribal community settled in the Jungles carrying out some tribal rituals, pushed the door open forcefully so that a huge creaking noise could be heard erupting out and rushed inside. In response to all the chaotic noises Bruno felt extremely terrified and instantly hopped off the bed and hid below it as if he had seen a real monster. [Well it's not exactly a secret that dogs have high sensitivity towards sound and they pretty much can pick up sounds of higher frequency than humans.]
Ironically, the only one with any response happened to be Bruno. Yet the dearest mother of the house was well aware of that, so she hadn't entered the room empty handed. Right the instant her dad had entered the room, he had switched off the fan still in motion. Quite cruel yet they knew the heat would at least help them get rid of the blanket temporarily. And that short period of time would be sufficient to wake the little "Kumbhakaran" up.
And the little lady didn't disappoint their expectations either. As soon as the wind generated by the rotating fan stopped comforting her, she threw the blankets off her shoulders reflexively, without even realising that she was doing so. That is exactly what her dear parents had been waiting for. And in Dr. Sanjay went to checkmate his little sleepy girl with a half a kilogram chocolate cake shaped as a 3D ring in his hand with "Happy Birthday" message iced on it. Only a single rainbow coloured candle carved in form of a "7" had been placed at it's centre.
Beside him, Dr. Tamanna started chanting her own version of Birthday carol in her singsong voice "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you. We know that the sleep seems heaven to you. But the day won't come back once gone ever to you. Surprises still await. Open your eyes and behold the rest. But you miss if you ditch. So wake up at the earliest. So rise up dearest. Our wishes can't ever diminish. But the cake is here for you. Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Ani, Happy birthday to you."
Fortunately, the girl did at least lift up one of her eyelids to ascertain what all the fuss happened to be about. Lo and Behold! Imagine her expression seeing the candlelit birthday cake, a feast for her eyes that too immediately post her actual birthday! She was shocked to the core, touched through her soul at that sweet gesture so much so that she didn't have any response whatsoever. With one lid open and the other closed, Madame tried to register the turn of events around her bed. Even Bruno came out of his secret location having sniffed the delicious cake and having laid eyes on the vibrant yellow shade of pedigree packet. He again jumped up on the bed and started licking his little mistress all over the face as a response to which Anika gradually raised herself up from the mattress. Obviously this time she fully opened both her eyes.
Slowly her brain started processing Bruno's drool all over her pink pajamas and she reacted by pushing him off of her. Simultaneously, she asked, " But my birthday party was yesterday?" Since she had temporarily lost her train of reason, she couldn't voice out her vocabulary as well as she did normally. Her mother replied in response, "Yes, your birthday was definitely yesterday. But we never got to spend the time solely with you."
"This is your mum's idea. I guess she wanted to impress you by not being a tyrant for a day." her dad said and immediately guffawed out loud, in response to which he was given a tight smack on his head by the said mum. Dr. Sanjay appeared miffed and so he replied, "Ow! What was that for!".
Seeing her parents cute exchange, Anika immediately started giggling. Dr. Tamanna resumed her speech, "Do your questionnaires later. Blow out the candle. There's no guarantee when Bruno may charge at the cake." Bruno apparently had moved his attention away from the now woken Princess and was drooling at the thought of hogging that cake all by himself sitting on the edge of the bed.
Knowing the dog's mental faculties by heart , Anika immediately blew out the cake and embraced both her parents, a wholesome gesture of gratitude since she yet had to reform her comprehension and vocabulary.
" Now go and freshen up dearie. We'll cut the cake at the breakfast table." her mum said.
"Your mum's courtesy, a break from her horribly nutritious diet regime." her dad whispered these words secretly out to her.
Although, he blatantly failed. "I heard that! No cake for you hubby dearest." And she snatched the cake away from him, handing over the pedigree pack to him in return. "Oh well, do remember to feed Bruno before he makes a mess in the kitchen, now that he has seen the cake." Thus, the lady of the house walked off elegantly out of the room with the cake held in one hand as if she were a supermodel and out Bruno went wagging his tail behind her, leaving the room steeped in silence momentarily. Soon after, a little girl's giggling could be heard ensuing out from the room till the whole apartment could hear her laughter.
"Your mum is really a tyrant!" responded her evermore naïve dad and followed the two former out, closing up the rear of the "wake up party" who had pretty much accomplished their task of waking the "sleeping beauty" up.
Once left to her own devices, the giggling little lady gradually controlled her laughter and got off the bed with the broadest smile anyone could have the fortune to behold. No wonder she felt so fortunate to have those two as her parents at that prime moment.
Yet; her little mind hadn't forgotten about the chance encounter she had had the previous evening, the one which made her curious about a variety of things she had never bothered to ponder on ever before.

Unapproachable
Unapproachable Hard to believe how the fate plays it's cards. The deck has never been too tricky to understand. There's only an imaginary blindfold generating a virtual folly to foil our innocent plans. Maybe awareness can serve as an eternal saviour from a tragic demise for each and everyone.....?
