Courageous is the bird nested on a shrub in my school veranda, no matter how loud pupil make sound, how often they peep and touch her tiny home, she was never scared, she never stop herself from coming back even though she had no chicks or eggs in it. 

May be I was the only kid, who was worried instead of wondering about that little one, why she is not making another one somewhere in this huge world, on those countless plants outside, what makes her tired, why she has no pair with her, whether she is tired of trying, did she promised anyone that she will wait here, was that a real nest, a real home or a cage for her. Why it felt like a prison she made for her, for what she is punishing her.


Countless friends I had there, countless memories, but why I cherish these sad stories forgetting all the happy things, why I still have a nest in me, for all the sad things to come back and stay, what have I done wrong, to punish me filling a lifetime grief.
