I was walking by the seashore, breathing in the cool breeze of the evening. I was enjoying the breeze and also the wave at my feet. The touch of the waves made me feel like dancing according to its tunes. With its braids of gold and silver the waves seem to get ready with decorations for receiving a royal guest.
Lost in the beauty of the sea and its most beautiful wave children, I started walking. I caught sight of 2 cute kiddies building their sand house with great care. The innocent seriousness in their eyes brought a smile on my face. It seemed as though they are building their dream castle.
As a poem says, are there any differences in the eyes of a surgeon doing his critical operation and the tailor stitching his clothes? Both have the same passion for their work; the same seriousness! I saw the same dedicated look in the eyes of the kids. In some time a beautiful house started emerging out of the sand.
I have never seen a similar house anywhere else, and I doubt whether they have seen it too. They neither do know about a blue print nor architecture. They know not what creativity is and they do not care about the productivity of their work and also the result. They are kids! But what a passion they have for their work!
I doubted whether I have got a similar passion. Definitely not! Once I get a desire of doing a work, I start to calculate the cost, market, appreciation, time and lots of factors...... They control my work and not me. I can never be my own boss, though I own a concern!
The sand castle is ready and the children looked quite satisfied with what they have done.They had not turned their eyes away till then, now they looked at me smiling on them. They smiled too.
Just then a wave came washing down their castle! After had been watching their great effort, I myself felt lost and looked at the waves with great disappointment. What once seemed to be the decorations of dreams now seemed to have turned as the destroyer of dreams.
But the children laughed aloud and went to play another game! How many of us could work so? Doing something we like the most, with lots of passion and then laugh to lose it? That is why children are seen with the joy celebrating life!
