The Perfect 10...

I got up feeling elated. It was a different kind of feeling and I had never felt like that ever before. It was 6:00 in the morning and it was too early for a software engineer on a holiday. But I had no qualms as I was feeling like never before. I looked at myself in the mirror and I was looking young and had all my hairs on my head about which I had just dreamt of in all these years, I have no wrinkles on my face and my eyes beautiful, a perfect nose, teeth, ears and lips. Now I am the handsome man on earth (so much so that I can now attract more girls than a cube of sugar will ever attract ants.). The day is perfect and so am I. It gave me immense pleasure but also it sent a shock down my spines. How on earth can all this happen to me in just one night? I tried to remember if I had been granted a boon by the almighty. I took the morning newspaper and lo… no bad news. No news about any murders, rapes, terrorism, scams, nothing. I pinched myself to come out of the dream but it just gave me a pain and showed me that all was true...

I thought of going out for a walk but the very thought made me look sad but later made up my mind and stepped outside and saw the un-believable - the air was clear with no pollution, the place was filled with pure living green, more than anything else my childhood dream of listening to the chirping of the birds had finally come true. I could hear all kinds of birds chirping away to glory. I thought, in spite of getting such a marvelous gift for the 28th birthday (even though I looked 50 year old just yesterday), how could the world under all given circumstances become such a livable place. No more ideas about going to Mars or to the distant planet. Gaya has at last listened to mine and prayers from million others from all over the earth and I have been gifted with something that everybody hoped they could just see somebody being in that (sorry this) kind of a world.

I returned home and switched on radio and tuned into AIR (AIR means All India Radio for all of you who just remember the two letters F and M). The news reader just spoke about all the good that politicians had done and/or planning to do in the near future. Not a single politician has been involved in any scam and they are living with what little salary they get because of their service to the people. Yes, I heard it right it was "TO THE PEOPLE". The radio also sang about the achievements India and the world has been making in reaching peace even to the outer space... The countries are living in harmony by following the same policy "SHARE WHAT GOOD YOU HAVE AND LEARN FROM THE BETTER WHAT OTHERS HAVE AND FORGET EVEN THINKING ABOUT THE BAD"

Later in the day I was shocked to see people (even those who are strangers) being very polite and more friendlier than my friends who all these years just spoke of and had just promised about being my very good friends. The smallest being was also treated like a king. The line that was drawn long back by some bunch of idiots and was carried off by lot many talented idiots were erased in just one night's time. No more could anyone see anybody else starving to death. There was enough food and money and clothes to share with all my peers... Yes it’s "PEERS" because everybody is equal.

Wow!!! This was the world that I ever wanted to live in. These are the kind of people whom I wanted to call my friends my relatives my neighbours. Now people cannot see animals in Zoos as they have been sent to their homes the way we are in ours. The animals and even plants and trees have equal freedom. No matter what we are and where we are this was the sweetest thing that anybody could ever wish to possess in his/her lifetime.

I had thought of
Being a perfect human, having perfect neighbours, relatives, friends and everybody else, being served by the perfect politicians & the obvious perfect government, living in the perfect environment, the perfectly pure love from everyone to the rest of them, being a perfect citizen of the perfect country. Today it seemed to me that it is picture perfect and if anybody could rate the picture, it shall be a perfect 10. God you are the perfect creator and I am the luckiest to get so much on this perfect day...

May the world remain the same forever...
