Flight Of Freedom

Write up by:Shruti(youliveonlyonce)

Prithvi ,walking in the lap of nature,
in search of his true self,
wants his true identity to be revealed to him...
The wilderness scattered all around,
the cool gentle breeze,
the rustling n crunching of the leaves under his feet
soothes his weary soul...

the soulful music salves his wounded heart..
The morning Sun rises to paint the horizon with crimson hues...
the clouds drift gently ...
the shadows become longer...

The narrow trail,
meandering through the heart of the jungle leads him on...
on to his solitary quest...
He sees a hunter moving hurriedly through the jungle...
relieved to see a human in the vast jungle
he calls the fellow traveler to stop...
to ask him the way..

The hunter refuses to stop as he is in a mighty hurry...
fearful of the bad weather...
he suggests that Prithvi should follow him to move out of the jungle...
The inquisitive hunter observes Prithvi from head to toes...
keen to know his identity...
Prithvi introduces himself as a mitra of
the silent birds trapped mercilessly in the cages...
he asks the hunter to release the birds...

the hunter replies that after months he had had a good catch
which would provide his family with meals for months...
And he would get a good beating from his quarrelsome wife
if he went empty handed...
Prithvi smiles...
wondering how starkly different was his life from that of the hunter...
He offers his gold coins to the hunter...
in exchange of the freedom of the birds...

The hunter looks wide eyed ...
pleased with the large sum...but curious as the offer was too generous...
speculating he tries to judge
if the money was attained through unfair means...
He throws a number of questions to Prithvi...
was it robbed from the royal treasures? or stolen from a royal staff? ...
After piercing Prithvi with his sharp laser eyes
he concluded that Prithvi appeared to be affluent and wealthy...
he didn't appear to be a thief...

Prithvi is amused by the talks of the hunter...
he asks for the where abouts of the old woman in the jungle
who gave shelter to the needy...
The hunter states that he had heard about her

but she was a figment of imagination and
existed only in stories...he talks on and on...
Prithvi shifts his attention to the cages on the ground...
he lifts them up...
and looks with compassion filled eyes at the birds...
a gentle smile plays on his lips..

promising them heaven...
promising them blue skies and widest horizons...
promising them freedom...
He lifts the cage door open...
his eyes beseeching the birds to join their beautiful world again...
to go back to where they belonged...
They flap n flutter their wings...
and glide out of their confinement...
free once again they chirp and sing...
and take flight...
they soar up and up...to meet the blue skies...

He looks up...his eyes chase their flight...
and trace their movement through the air...
He watches...happy...elated...contented...

What a super scene it was...shot so creatively...
and enacted with such perfection ...
AS again let his eyes speak eloquently...
and his smile supported them...
to make this simple scene so impactful...

Mano! Ur caps and that smiley😛

How beautiful this post is!

Coming to the writing

Shruti, you know I was smiling throughout this post. 😊

You have written it with your heart. One of your best writings 😃

The peace and the smile in Prithvi's eyes is the best part of the character.

We have a hunter who is worried about what his wife will say... 😆

And then we have Prithvi who went through so much recently but his smile isn't fading. He lives n enjoys the present. Doesn't worry much about the future. And the way he released those birds shows how free spirited he is, beyond any ties.

Loved this scene a lot, and the BGM was soothing😊
