“Lalit? What do you want to become in future?”, and a young determined twelve year lad by all his confidence without even a second thought responded to his class teacher, “SCIENTIST”.
Well, it took only few years for me to find myself sitting and snickering over that ludicrous and immature answer. And soon enough I happened to realize that there were continuously some boundaries and barriers to what one can accomplish in reality which eventually lead to a point where I felt like there were fences to even the smallest of my intention.
Life almost proceeded to such a point where I literally felt like an imprisoned bird with not even enough space to open my wings entirely yet I kept fantasizing of the bluest sky. But during the course of it I happen to realize something really simple which we often disregard in our life. In the process of finding means to live, we forget why we live for. Well it took me quite a time to understand that happiness is all I wanted in life and it didn’t require me to flap my wings all above the striking clouds and beautiful rainbows. The musk is within the musk deer yet in ignorance it searches the whole jungle for the fragrance originating from its own navel. So is the circumstance in most of our life. We search outside for things that are inside.
All I had to do was to close my eyes and weave the sky.

PINJARA
Pinjara ko chep bara panchi ley akash
boon dai chaa
A bird is weaving the
sky from the cracks of her cage
Ankha baanda gari, kalo kalo baadal
haru mathi….. chalcha hawa sarara
I close my eyes and feel
the breeze above the dark clouds
Rokney malai ko chara, samundar ko
kinara ma
Nobody fencing my
presence amid the lovely sky and ocean
Mo chu panchi ko sanga, akash rangilo
ranga ….. chaleo hawa sarara
I feel the breeze with the birds in the
colorful sky
Siriri hawa
chal dai cha, Yo panchi ko umanga bardai cha
There is a cold breeze
rising the hope of the bird
Chiso chiso
lagna thaleo chisonai batasa ma, eklai uuri ra chu yo nadeykhiney akasha ma
A chilling sensation
rises and I dive through the invisible sky alone
chaleo hawa
sarara
Rokney
malai ko chara, samundar ko kinara ma
With nobody fencing my
presence amid the lovely sky and ocean
Mo chu
panchi ko sanga, akash rangilo ranga ….. chaleo hawa sarara
I feel the breeze with
the birds in the colorful sky
Kalo
pinjara sabai ko jevanama, pinjara lai tohri haas na sikhunaa
There is a dark cage
in everyone’s life, and we gotta learn to break that
Jati thulo
bhayay pani booro phakah ko kura suneyra hera,
And no matter how old
we become we gotta listen to our elders
Jevaan
andharo cha bhaney hujaalo akash boney ra hera
And if life gets
gloomy with time, weave a beautiful sky inside
Chalcha
hawa sarara
Pinjara ko chep bara panchi ley akash
boon dai chaa
A bird is weaving the
sky from the cracks of her cage
Ankha baanda gari, kalo kalo baadal
haru mathi….. chalcha hawa sarara
I close my eyes and feel
the breeze above the dark clouds
Rokney malai ko chara, samundar ko
kinara ma
Nobody fencing my
presence amid the lovely sky and ocean
Mo chu panchi ko sanga, akash rangilo
ranga ….. chaleo hawa sarara
I feel the breeze with the birds in the
colorful sky
