Fear to Sad
After so many years I had a chance to visit a biology lab. It was rather a different day. Once I entered I saw a skeleton wth a big glee..
I remember when I was asked to take a note or something from a biology lab I hardly turn to the side where the skeleton stands. I was so frightened to see it. I shut my eyes when I go near by...
But in this middle age my attitude has completely changed . So many thoughts ripple in me.
I don't know whether it is a real one may be made of some material but it looked real. I am not a science student . I don't know whether it is a man or woman..
If it were a lady ... how fair she would have been? . Was she with beautiful features ?
an eye that was liquid and bright with kajal drawn on it ... was she a girl with curly hair and rosy lips? . But now just a hollow in the eye sockets and a hole in the nose. No lips .. it was an array of teeth.. How she would have been admired by her near and dear..!
Or was she an ugly girl who was not cated by anyone and frustrated .?.. Was it a woman who kept nothing for her and toiled and moiled throughout her life ...? But thrown out by her children who had no benefit of her in her old age. .
Was it a girl got married to a cheat who left her all alone in this world to suffer... And then finally thrown to the roads andthen died a orphan Death?
Was she not claimed by anyone in the hospital she lied no body to get her and then died a lonely death.
was she not buried for no body to do the rituals ... or was she so cruel and greedy that no body wanted her? or was she a woman who had widowed early and had no children to claim her? was she an unwanted girl at home or a woman deserted.
Or was she a logical woman who wanted to be an icon of social service that she herself claimed that she can be placed in a biology lab and serve student to learn about the 205 bones that constituted her?
was it some famous actress who was uncared and left ov after all her beauty vanished. Was she abandoned to care?
We are bony frames where flesh stuffs us ...accumulates and make us plumpy or make us zero fit . But fair or dark we are , tall or short we are , rich or poor we are we are bonny structures who without this skeleton would be a pond of flesh like a snail or a tortoise without a shell .
Hence need not feel small if we are not beautiful nor handsome...
you are fortunate if you had some body to cry weep for you bury you with all the rituals of your religion whatever it is...or have a son to burn you off into ashes and dissole you in the sea.
for Dust we are born and to dust we reach....
I turned to the skeleton that stood in the glass box. It didnot scare me but made me sad that he stood the test of time ....just because she was left uncared and now she is always near children who study about her...
