Journey begins

Into the dark streets of the fastest developing city of India, The Hyderabad,
Screaming
"I'm not a person of that kind, but all the situations lead me to do that"

it was 2:00 am and there was a person looking into the dark and shouting like a crazy person, as if he is gonna die and want to confess for all the mistakes he has done, to yell out the things he has got in him, he was shouting to make himself go dumb, he was crying for someone to be there for him,he was crying. He was telling his life story.


the day when he was only nine and was sent to a Government Residential School,that day when his parents and all his relatives were very happy, that he topped in the entrance exam conducted for 10000 students of the same age all over the distrct, the exam in which almost 10 different members of the same family tree appeared and coudn't make it before him, he was getting admitted into that school, which proudly says that it was inagurated by Mr. P.V.Narasimha Rao former Prime Minister of India, who was the the Minister for Human Resources Development at that time, and the school with the history of producing great personalities, the anxciety in the kid's face was turning into the tension when the parents of other students started leaving campus one by one, he had never lived out of his home, that time, he thought that he did a big mistake by getting seat in the famous school, but he didn't know that his life is going to change drastically.

Atlast the moment came, that moment when his parents were leaving, he was still, thousands of thoughts were running in his brain, he became deaf for sometime, he couldn't hear anything, suddenly a tear drop rolled down his cheek, he was weeping, he tried to reach his parents and the gates were shut on his face, suddenly everything became dark.

He didnt take dinner that night, everything seemed black to him, everything was new, he was in a state of confusion, nothing was like his dreams, the school which he dreamt of, the enjoyment he thought of, nothing was same, he couldn't digest it, he didn't talk to anyone, he felt as if no one was there for him even the sun who is just sinking in the west seemed to leave him, and it was bed time, everyone went to the bed, and he was also alloted a bed, which was decorated by different things, by their parents, he touched them and started weeping again, he laid himself on the bed covering himself totally with the blanket given by the school, he could not sleep,
he woke up ten times that night, the feeling of insecurity, he never slept alone before, he thought of the bedtime stories told by his elder sister, he thought of the warmth of the hug of his mother, he was missing them, he was missing them a lot, he was waiting for the sun to rise, in the process of waiting he went into the dreams, he began to think of his memories with a girl, he smiled at himself, he went into the memories of his small and cute life with the girl, suddenly a bell rang in the hostel and seniors came in shouting "Its time for PET(physical education which he came to know later) class wear shots and T-shirt, shoes will be given tommorow, everyone should be present infront of the house (hall of residance) in a line to go and attend the class", he woke up and to his shock it was just 5:00 in the morning, he never wokeup that early in his life, he was now feeling asleep, he didnt want to go but it was mandatory for everyone to attend it, so he woke up and wore a T-shirt and a shot to go in front of the house to join the line leading to ground.

A person who was tall lean and good looking came infront of the line and introduced himself as Raja the house leader of the Red house in which I'm residing, and started taking attendance staring with ramu, and the number went on, people were giving their attendance, and he began dreaming again, suddenly a voice shouting "shiva", "shiva", he wokeup from his dreams, and in a confused state he said yes sir, and all the other sprang out laughing, as it was customary to say a senior "anna"(elder brother), not sir, and he felt emberassed, the attendance went on for few more minutes and they started to the ground, on the way to the ground, he remembered that he didnot brush, he didnt even attend his nature's calls and was going to ground he didnt know that PET meant that, and he was now repenting for not attending them, atlast they reached a place where he could see the ground which was very big, the anxiety of playing in it stopped his atention towards the nature call, and was very eager to enter the ground, the new day, new place, everything was new, he didnt talked to anyone still,the place seemed to be very different and very new to him, atlast a new life of him started. A new morning.
