The Sun Was Always There

This is a work of fiction, definitely, with its surreal plot and the over imaginative emotional turmoil depicted at length, sometimes overdone, overcooked and burnt in the process eventually. Only that it isn't. It is true around the edges and a pure depiction of what really ensued over those years, of the innocent childhood, pain and pleasure of Youth, the years of abundant enriching experiences, upheavals, agony and hope always shining over the Horizon. This story is not about Sadness, it is more skewed towards Courage and Determination to survive in the face of unexpected adversities, in the most literal terms. But even in abject darkness finally the Light comes through, slowly but surely and the joy to come out of such darkness cannot be put in words and can only be felt. The joy to find one's ground. Akash found ways and means to keep the fire kindled and learnt various tricks of mischief to keep the enthusiasm alive but there is a price to pay. Though due to some grace he always got away unscathed and did not had to pay very dearly. Precious years went by in his pursuit of basic survival of Present while all along dealing with the poisonous fangs of the Past.Along the way there are adventures and misadventures but to know in the end that the Sun was always there will make it all worthwhile !!
