It was about 11:30 pm when the goddess of sleep took me on her lap yes that was exactly 11:30. After a journey of dreams and desire, light streamed through the windows of my room burnt my eyelid and compelled me to wake up. The watch was saying me to wake up with its irritating alarming sound, ting tingggggggg ting tinggggssggggggg!!!!!!!!!! I just stoped the alarming sound and went on sleeping.
How sad! After some minutes my mom arrived and just ordered me to wake up. "You lazy boy, still sleeping?" she shouted at me. Then I woke up with bored mind and quickly went to the window on my own room. Really it feels somewhat not good to get out of the warm blanket in cold season. When I was staring out through the window I saw an event which was never seen before, never heard before, never thought before, perhaps it could happen only in our mythical stories. I couldn't believe on my eyes, was the event a genuine one? My mind is vibrating of thinking that event and hands are paralyzed at this moment of describing this event.
We are your friends: use your hands to conserve us!
Healthy planet is the thing: that you need the most!!
We are the nature: nature can't be brought in terms of money!
We want the best: Human and the nature both in harmony!!
A singing and dancing program of beautiful creatures of forests was happening in the nearby forest. Birds were singing and other animals were dancing. I blinked my eyes and found the event was really happening. I didn't tell any other about the event but just observed the event from my own room so carefully. Indeed, it was 19 years I'm living here, but was the first time I've ever seen such ceremony of our wild friends. Inner membrane of my heart shouted, "Truly, our mother nature is beautiful, I love you mama".
When the sun started to grow in the horizon, their ceremonial program was finished, the herd of deer was disappeared, and no flocks of birds, no venue of vultures were there. The place, now turned into silent as if nothing was happened there, like a green desert. Suddenly my mother called me to have delicious meal because it had become 9 am. Oh! I think I'm going to be late for the school I finished the meal in hurry and went to school as soon as possible.
Well! It was about 20 minute late when I entered into the class. "Hey guy don't you have watch to see the time" the teacher asked me. I gave artificial reasons of being the late. The teacher easily believed on me because I was among those students of my class who had never missed the class, never bunked the class, so he easily trusted me. Thank god! My heart shouted. The behavior of teacher didn't change that day. In the Tiffin time, my best friend of class wanted to know the cause of arriving late in the class and thinking him a trustful person, I explained him about the event that I saw, which was never seen before. A silent environment was developed, nether he could speak nor me. I thought he will not tell anybody, but I was wrong, all the class new the story in few hours. When the class time was over, I was surrounded by my friends and I was bound to explain the reality although I did not want to do so. The friends promised me to show the event next day morning, if it would happen. I knew these people are going to surround my home next day and finally mom will ask me," why such crowd in this home".
To see the event once again was beyond my capacity. Tomorrow morning, a crowd is going to make me fool, I was sure because there is no certainty that the event will also seen next day. Ooho! I couldn't sleep that night. I slept that night without heaving my food. Mother was asking the reason, "why this?" But I didn't listen her.
Next day morning, my friends were in my room before my waking up. This day their irritating sound in the morning made me more irritating. They stared through the window until 9 but couldn't see the event. They continued to come on my home early in the morning for 4/5 days. But they all returned back with their empty eyes. During these days, we all used to be late in the class and the last day the evil teacher used the stick heavily upon us. He warned us very strongly to come in the time.
In the Tiffin time, some of my friends tried to beat me, they blamed over me that all this punishment was only due to me. I faced the situation strongly that I hadn't invited those people to my home they came there with their own interest. Seeing a conflict a teacher came and the crowd was scattered. Thank god! You saved me.
I knew early that my friends are planning to beat me after finishing classes. So as to escape from the worse situation, I bunked the last class and reached the home. My mother was asking why I was early today but I ignored her questions and went to visit the nearby forest to cool my tamper.
Due to my unmanaged walking in the forest, my shirt was damaged by wild thorns, shoes was covered by mud ooho. Being angry toward the thorn that damaged my shirt I kicked the thorn. But how mad I was, this time thorn damaged my own skin. I thought I'm surrounded by catastrophic destiny. Suddenly, a strange voice came from the back side," why you are so angry with these innocent? What was his fault?" Who was the mad speaking back of me, I thought. I turned back with mixed emotion of fear and courage. Miracle! An old tree was speaking to me." Man was created in this nature not to damage own life i.e. nature, environment preservation was his duty. But we all are socked why human civilization has forgot this reality" He asked me. "It is the the second mysterious event that you are seeing ever but the first event was a symbol that we are becoming extent from this planet because of human fault. We and the human society were good friends of each other since the existence. So please fulfill the friendship duty, revive this planet and make it a good place to live where nature and human can co exist in harmony. If human continue to do such catastrophic activities, one day human will die in the storm created by his own hand ", he said. I was surprised, how a tree can speak? After a few second the tree became a real tree i.e. stopped speaking. I returned back to home with a vacant mind, couldn't sleep well that night also. I went to the jungle early in the morning at 4 to ask the tree few questions. But the jungle had lost the parent, lost the real beauty the older tree was chopped by the evil human hands. How selfish human are? I asked myself with a bitter feeling.
I still remember those wonderful voices of old tree which was mysterious moment of life. Since that day I took a strong oath with myself to speak the voice of voiceless and innocent creatures. I speak the voice of those innocent who can't forward their agendas to global events as Rio +20, COP 18 etc. All the human society thinks them as a wise society: it is the time to prove their wisdom it is the real time to reflect their innovation. Power is not for ruling over the innocent: it is to love the innocent and caring them. If human think him as a wise and powerful in the nature: it becomes his responsibility to preserve and conserve this healthy nature, instead of damaging them. I have started to preserve my local environment because, "think globally: act locally is my motto". Drops of water make the sea. Your small effort may make our Mother Nature and papa earth happy and healthy. I have started from my side and you? If you really think yourself as a wise personality then put your hand on my hand to make this planet healthier. Let's make our mama (nature) and papa ( earth) smile.
