The Dreaming Refugee
“Place doesn’t matter, it’s your efforts which matters.”
It’s not a story of any perfect body, neither Hero nor Villain, it’s a story of an imperfect Indian boy who never
stops or you can say life never let him stop himself. He born in beautiful city
of iron Jamshedpur in a family who emigrated from Burma (Now Myanmar) in late
18’s, it looks sometime so confusing. Let me take you to the flashback… In the Burma
War of 1942, his forefathers lost all their belongings, and walking on foot
from their injured feet, they reached the Refugee camp of India... Proper
Telugu family got came in India where they faced so many difficulties to settle
down, but they settle down there in the city of Iron “Jamshedpur”. With the
running time their family expanded, they managed to have their own home too.
After 49 years the main character of our story born in the same house, the
third generation of refugees.
Let me tell you about his personality… He is extrovert but
silent as well, he is smart but dumb as well, he is a liar sometimes, but
honest as well, he is stubborn but broad minded too, he always respect everyone
but never judge anyone, and he never says "No" to anyone, he is
having some bad qualities, but having good too. He always believes life is all about
second chance. Always there to help everyone. In short, he is a Robin Hood
with spectacles, because in today’s world a person with a spectacle is a
gullible.
Started his journey of life in the eastern part of India. an
endless journey to fulfill his dreams, In the age of only 3 months he was
relocated to Punjab by his fate, as he started growing, he found himself
confused that he is a Telugu boy living in Punjab, living the culture of
Punjab… and with passage of time he got to know that he is refugee too. One day
when he asked his dad who we are? Then his dad replies “why you are confused, son…
we are human beings... And boundaries can’t change it”, on that day he realized
it’s just a matter of point of view which actually matters.
From childhood he was a regular dreamer and he always
changes his dreams on regular basis. It doesn’t mean that he is not serious
about his dreams but he don’t want his dreams to be accomplished upon someone
else, so he drops his dreams for sometimes for future, but he never forget the
same. His dream changes but reason was the same, he want change, not only in him
but in our world. Whenever he tries to share his dreams with other, people
find it difficult to digest, because his dreams are far away from their minds.
From his childhood, his dreams have been creating delusions
in others mind, after thinking for a while about his dream people come with a
conclusion that “this boy is mad”, as in this whole world, the first person who
thinks out of the box is a mad or crazy, it always takes a time to realize the
reality of a realistic person.
He always wants to live his life as he want, but as he never
say no to anyone, he willingly or unwillingly trapped in some of the situations
where he have to give up his dreams for his own people. And then time arrived
when discover his first talent that he can sing. But as always parents asked
him to focus on his studies and as usual he never denies. He left his dream but
never left singing.
His passion was to be an actor, he has done some of the
plays in his school, but society denied accepting him due to color. He never
feels bad about it, as he never said "No", he accepted the situation,
but he never left his passion. After this entire situation he was feeling
somewhat trapped very badly, so he found his happiness inside him. He started
sharing his thoughts with pen, but still his efforts began to prick like thorn
in throat of others, they started asking him, "Your writings are copy of
others ". As he never say "NO", this time also he haven’t
replied with his mouth, but he replied them with his pen...
