His eyes were as red as the scorching Sun. He stank as the Sun has blessed him with overpouring sweat. To a stranger from long shot, he appeared to be a decent guy of a bit lean physique and a tall stature. His eyes ran faster than his mind which has already began to be slowed down by hunger. Those racing eyes rested on a big attractive glamorous board.
Almost of us live just because we are born. The rest plunder meager sum of money from every other and bulges his pocket for his royal bread and rich butter. Even a river knows where it would drain, but us.. The humans do not know for what we live and what has to be done in life. He is also a pebble in the stream of Life.
Childhood is always a fantasy where every parent makes their kids to feel that he/she is the special kid in the world. Every age builds a cage in which people lock us persistently in the name of care. He was locked up too. A school which has squeezed a huge number of brains in the recent past extended it's cold arms. They praised him to be a genius when he crammed an entire book and reproduced it as such. The same mocked and ditched him a brainless when he wrote verses and drew of his own.
His parents were not at all happy when he told that he's going to pursue into the field of arts after completing his Under graduation. They threatened him that they wouldn't take care of him if he didn't obey their words. Like a Leaf moving in the direction of the wind, he completed his Post Graduation too. He feared that he has lost his innate qualities and by then felt that he's nothing more than a programmed computer.
People called him a coward when he didn't fit into the manual electronic operating works. He defined himself as a man, possessing aesthetic sense and humaneness unlike them. Years rolled down, conditions became worse. Parents thought their ultimate goal is to make him fit into a job and to get him married to a girl of their choice.
On a gloomy dusk, he left his home to live a life of his own. His degree certificates didn't help him even to fetch him a meal. He starved and starved and starved, yet his determination wasn't dead. The collegiate education which costed several lakhs failed to serve him even a penny. He was seeking for any kind of job that would ensure his day's meal. And with a hungry stomach and tiring eyes he was searching for the advertisement boards.
His eyes ran faster than his mind which has already began to be slowed down by hunger. Those racing eyes rested on a big attractive glamorous board which read,

On seeing his pathetic condition, the employer agreed to pay some advance at once he joins the Job. He came out with a contented smile as he has safeguarded ten rupees for dinner which probably would be a cup of tea. The Sun seemed to be a little cool by then. Even then he found a prick in his stomach. It has been two complete days since it has met with any food.He went to a nearby tea shop and got a cup of tea with the final ten rupees from his stinky shirt.
At the first sip, he felt something crawling under his feet. A tiny lean puppy looked at him with gleamy eyes. It was too weak to bark and so let out a pitiable moan. He saw himself in that abandoned poor puppy. He drank water from the pitcher to calm down his hunger and placed the cup of tea in front of the puppy and moved on. The puppy was wagging it's tail as it drank the tea..
