My little bird .....

            My granny used to love singing folk songs . There were many songs that I loved and kept asking her to sing it to me when I was a kid . There was one song that always touched my heart , though I never understood what it meant at that time , but somehow that song sounded so good and made me emotional . Well the song was in my mother tongue ," Pakkil muggi vonje gudu do batkondo undo gae ,aayete vonji kinniga rekke puttunde undo ga." it means 3 little chicks were growing together in one nest and now one of the little chick is growing its wings . When I was smaller I would never understand what it meant ,but whenever my granny sang that song I would love hearing it.  Infact she sang that song for me when I was getting married but at that time also I never understood the significance of that song .

        But today when my elder daughter has gone to other city to work this song keeps playing in my mind all the time . Today I truely understood the meaning of that song ,when suddenly my little girl is growing her own wings and is flying away from our nest . The nest  that she grew up ,the nest in which her parents kept her protected and loved her a nest where she fought laughed and played with her sibling ,our nest which our babies make a home for us . As parents we are always thinking our babies never will grow but one day they have to grow have to get their own wings have fly away to make their own nest their own home their own lives their own world . When our little bird grows and flies away to make her life we are happy for them happy to let them experiment find out how they want their lives to be ,see the world on their own ,but suddenly as parents there comes an emptiness , a fright that our little nest we built with our little girls is becoming empty , that emptiness is really scary but then that is life I guess everyone has to leave their nest their comfort zone to make their own nest create their own world . 

        

         My little one is out their figuring out her world thinking about her future and creating her new nest ,I wish her all the happiness ,all the luck , hope she finds her happiness her new world . Mean while this little nest of her will always be right here , always welcoming her ,always waiting for her and always loving her . God bless my little bird fly high and be happy always .
