Soo And Cho....The Exploring Stars,the Found Truth

By Sai Crishna

Such a waste of evolution you are. You will rot in this form forever. Just crawl - crawl all the time, you will never know how to fly. You are just a semblance of nothingness. Likewise some butterflies were bullying a caterpillar. They all flew off and caterpillar started walking towards a tree. Same tantrums different day Kartoon? Asked the tree... You named me pretty well Crispo, a cartoon. Said the caterpillar (Kartoon) smirking. It's Kartoon, not cartoon. Said the tree( Crispo) Whatever, but it pronounced the same and define me pretty well too. Said Kartoon.... You drag a lot, stop being that. Said Crispo... Ya I wish I could. Sighed Kartoon... Why don't you try it today then? Asked Crispo... What? Said Kartoon... Why don't you go search for a falling star and make a wish of becoming a butterfly? Said Crispo... Those are just waste of time. Said Kartoon with a tired face....

Later that night Kartoon couldn't sleep. Those words of despair from butterflies and the words of hope from Crispo didn't let him sleep. So in curiosity filled with hope Kartoon heads out in search of a falling star. His eyes were reflecting the stars as he held his head up in search of just one falling star. It wasn't a long wait, he found a star was falling. Oh! That was too easy, now I think I should make a wish. Thought Kartoon... As he was about to make a wish he found another star was falling too. Woah! One shot two birds. Atleast one of them might bring my wish come true. Thought Kartoon... He made his wish to become a beautiful butterfly. But it seemed strange. The two stars weren't just falling, but they were falling towards him. Kartoon started running away and hid behind a small rock. The two stars fell on the ground with a thud. Kartoon was peeking from behind the rock. One of the stars was laughing out loud.

That was fun, weee. Laughed Soo... No that completely wasn't. Said Cho angrily... What we made a beautiful landing. Said Soo... Nah! I fell on the ground and you fell on me and that's wasn't beautiful. Said Cho... Soo saw Kartoon peeking and asked him, Who are you... Kartoon walked out and said, that should be my question as this is my place... Don't you feel you are too little and ugly to have some 2-3 kilos of attitude. Said Cho Kartoon went speechless... Cho stop being so rude. Hey there, this angry glitter is Cho and I'm Soo and we both are stars. Said Soo smiling... Aren't you two too little to be stars? I heard stars were bigger compared to sizes of any planets. Asked Kartoon... We are little stars seeking to become big. Said Soo Sounds so fake. Said Kartoon... Whatever, can we know about you? Asked Soo I'm Kartoon a caterpillar, trying to become a handsome butterfly one day. Said Kartoon with a proud face... hmph like that would ever happen. Said Cho... Cho manners, sorry about her, we are here for something. By any chance do you know someone who could help us find us something. Said Soo... Sure. What's that? Asked Kartoon... We are here for truth. Truth that could make us big. Said Soo with a glow in her face... May be you both happened to end up at perfect place. Let me take you both to a friend of mine.

Kartoon took them to Crispo. Soo, Cho this is my friend I was talking about. He is Crispo. Crispo these two are my new friends Soo and Cho. Said Kartoon... Kartoon I think I only told you to make a wish to the stars, but how come you directly brought them on to the earth. Said Crispo smiling.... They are here seeking something. I don't think there is someone better than you who could fetch them their need. Daid Kartoon... An old tree huh? sighed Cho... Cho shut up! Hello Mr. Crispo, as Kartoon said we are here searching for something. Said Soo... I'm all ears, let me know what it is. Said Crispo... The truth! We are here to find the truth. To know what is a truth, so we can grow big. Said Soo... Interesting! Fine we will seek it tomorrow. Why don't you three rest your eye. Said Crispo... Three of them slept on Crispo.

The next day morning they wake up to a beautiful song. Wow! Who's that singing? Asked Cho... It's the cuckoo bird. His vocals are too beautiful. Said Kartoon... Yeah, unlike your face. Laughed Cho... What's your problem Cho? asked Kartoon... You. Said Cho... You guys started again? Said Soo... Morning kiddos. Why don't you three go and have some fun in the woods. Said Crispo Yeah! Seems fine. Thought three of them... They walk a long path and it rains for a while. They take a shelter and start walking when rain takes a halt. As they were having a walk, Kartoon looks up in the sky and says... You two look in the sky, see how beautiful rainbow it is... Yeah a beautiful lie. Said Soo... A lie? Said Kartoon...and both Soo and Cho nodded . But how is it a lie? It's so beautiful and one day I wish I could grow wings with as much colours as of a rainbow. Said Kartoon... Soo starts smiling at his words. Cho on the other side didn't like the fact that Soo and Kartoon get along very well. At some point Cho felt as if she was ignored. You guys go ahead, I want to go back and take some rest. Said Cho Why, what happened, are you ok? Asked Soo... Yeah fine. Just a bit tired. Said Cho... Then we are going ahead, go and rest we will return soon. Come on Kartoon let's go. Said Soo...

Cho returned to Crispo with a paled face. She climbed on to him and leaned. What happened Cho? Why did you come alone? Where are Soo and Kartoon? Asked Crispo... They went ahead, I felt tired and returned back. Said Cho... Oh! After a pause Crispo said...You don't like Soo to be with Kartokn right? Why you say that? Said Cho... I noticed earlier, you didn't like Soo talking, laughing, supporting Kartoon. Are you jealous? Asked Crispo... It's not jealous, it's fear of losing. Said Cho in a silent voice... Oh! Fear of losing, huh? It's been quite a long time I have feared of losing someone. Said Crispo smiling... What you never feared of losing someone? Asked Cho... I used to. Whom should I fear to lose? The ones that I love or the ones who love me? The ones I want or the ones that want me? The ones who are with me or the ones who are not? Saying so Crispo smiles and adds more...

I grew many flowers and fruits. Initially I didn't like the fact that they would be taken away, eaten away by others as I put an attachment between us. I didn't think of what they wanted to be. A fruit's purpose is only fulfilled when it let goes of the tree. A friut is either supposed to feed someone or to grow into a tree itself. In some cases it's the both. If I held on to it, neither of it's purposes gets fulfilled and it's life rots waste here. So I realised that if I could let go of them, they will go out, they will be planted and they will grow as a big tree. It was pleasant watching them grow so I started detaching the fruits that weren't wishing to go. I pushed them away sometimes and watched them grow into my equals. Either I pushed them or they went, in both cases that partition wasn't permanent. But they came back to me as something big and calling something big as my love made me proud.

Cho silently nods her head and there Kartoon and Soo were walking, kartoon ask... Why did you let Cho go? I think she doesn't like me to be by your side. I know. Said Soo and added...I want her to grow, I want her to stand for herself, I want her to be strong, I want her to fight. She is a kid. Pure and naive at heart. I want her to grow to such heights that even stars have to lift their heads up to see her. So if the process is tough, she has to go through them. If she doesn't want to go, I wouldn't hesitate pushing her into it. But don't ever think for her a second that I left her. I just set her free but I always keep her holding... And here Cho looks at a bird and says...Look crispo it's a cuckoo now it's gonna sing. That bird starts singing and Cho hates the voice of that bird and says stop you filthy bird you weren't singing same in the morning and she closes her both the ears. Crispo laughs and says... It's not a Cuckoo, it's a crow and they look similar... Oh! Then it's a lie. Said Cho... Soo and Kartoon stop at a place where they found some lights flying. Oh! There are stars on the earth other than us too...said Soo... Those are not stars, they are fireflies. Said Kartoon laughing... Oh! Then it's a lie. Said Soo...

Then parallelly Kartoon and Crispo started speaking same words to Soo and Cho and they go like.... If you believe something as a lie it doesn't mean it has to be a lie. Your lie is truth for some and truth is lie for some. May Your point of view is a blind view for some. There is no real truth, there are only perspectives. The belief on your perspective is persuaded as truth untill it's proven wrong. Truth is nowhere to ne found until perspectives match. One can match one but not with many. You cannot go out and make everyone to match your perspective. So don't stop when your perspective is proven wrong. Accept. Don't ever trust your perspective blindly. Question it so many times thay truth itself comes seeking you as an answer. And why should we question our perspectives? Because truth is not constant...

Soo and Cho didn't find the truth, but they knew an answer to grow big. You are so small and speak so big. How? Asked Soo . These are the things said by Crispo. I got bullied many times for being ugly, for not growing wings. I couldn't tolerate the truth so I asked him why. Then he said all these to me. Don't curse Kartoon. He is a good boy. Said Crispo... Yeah I know. But I saw something in his eyes. What is it? Pain? endeavor? Asked Cho...He just want to grow wings, turn a butterfly and fly high. Said Crispo... Soo and Kartoon return to Crispo. Cho jumps on to Soo and hugs her tightly and with not much to waste, she spells out and says " your wish is fulfilled" to Kartoon. Soo and Cho held their hands and started flying. Kartoon shouts...I will grow wings and will fly seeking you both in the sky..!
