Its a Bird's life

Birds are a wonderful species gifted by nature. Humans have drawn inspiration from them and learnt to build machines that can fly like a bird. When birds breed, they build nests ensuring that their siblings are kept away from nature's fury and predators. The mother bird collects small branches and twigs from trees, put a lot of efforts and builds its nest. These wonderful creatures await for that special moment when the eggs hatch and a new life begins. The new borns are innocent and helpless. They cannot fly, hunt and feed themselves. Its the Mother who takes care of them, feeds them, keeps them away from danger and nurtures them until they can take care of themselves. But what happens when the birds are fully grown adults? They fly in different directions in search of their life.

I now compare humans with the birds. We have been gifted a life by our parents. They have made many sacrifices in life for making us what we are today. Most of us go in different directions in search of goals leaving them groping in the dark. There may be many reasons behind this. Let us not become BIRDS in this case. Let us ensure that we are there for them when they need the most. Its time for us to repay.
