"THE STORY UNTOLD"

EXPLORE THE INNER YOU

This story happens to be in the most innocent days of my life; childhood. It takes you through the cuteness of one’s childhood.  It was a Sunday evening; I slowly opened my eyes to find myself on the floor, I should have been sleeping there all noon.  I was just 5 or 6, I slowly woke up and saw my elder brother sitting on a study chair with a writing pad; my initial thought was my brother is busy with his homework.

“Hey how do you do that!! That’s so cool and amazing man..!!” my brother’s friend, who was sitting next to him, started flooding compliments at my brother, this raised the curiosity at my brother’s work. I stood up from where I sat and started to my brother. There on a piece of white paper lay a beautifully dressed bride with a crown. “Who is this??” I asked my brother. “She is Jasmine”, he replied. It was such a beautiful art, hardly one could find a flaw in it and this wasn’t the first time my brother getting compliments from his friends.

           Drawing used to fascinate me all the time and was exciting when my own sibling does that. This raised a curious question “how does he do it??”

 One day I went to my brother and asked him “brother, how do you do it??”

“Drawing? That’s because there is magic in my hands”

“Magic!!” this has become even more fascinating when I heard magic, “where did you learn it?”

“I didn’t learn, it was a gift from the God”

“Gift from the God!” I was amazed at the gift he has got. Then I started thinking, if my brother was gifted I should also be gifted, after all we are siblings right. I started staring at my hand, wondering whether I got the gift too. That was the moment when I started to think of drawing.

Initially I sticked to the cartoons, then I slowly started sketching portraits. Now I know “you will never know what you got unless you try (find) it”

I believe everyone is gifted with some ABILITY; one has to identify it and exhibit it. So that it gets the recognition it deserves. Though I am not a great artist today but I aspire to become one in future, for my brother.

Hope this story instigates to explore the inner YOU.
