This is the time of onset of monsoon in India. For nearly a week,it has been raining in Malkangiri district of Odisha. Everything came to a standstill, especially on my campus. All the senior teachers went for a samiti meeting and they didn't return back to school due to heavy rain. Our campus was covered with a lot of water. The school classes had stopped for 3 days. But this did not matter to the students. They were disappointed with rain only for creating disturbance in practicing various sports events to take part in cluster level sports meets. All the students are praying for good weather. Finally the rain stopped.
Eager students show their curiosity for sports. We started contact with our PET sir and madam for giving names in various events like Athletics, Cricket, Kho-Kho, Kabaddi, Badminton, Chess etc. I am unfamiliar with other sports except Cricket. I gave my name in Cricket as an All-Rounder. Many students participated in other games but in my cricket there were few. Now the weather was fully clear but the field was not. Grass had grown on the pitch and many bushes surrounded the stumps.
Really the first day was not about practice, it's only for uprooting Grasses and bushes. During two-over bowling sessions, we found it difficult to bat due to the wet pitch and the ball swung with bounce. Our cricketing boys focused on the ball to stroke it well.
Oh! I forgot about other games.
Beside us a strange boy practicing discus throw. He is a boy with a kind heart.
Suddenly a beat of sounds came , " Hurry up ! Come here guys."
But we ignored his voice.
He again exclaimed with a loud voice, " Hey ! I caught a bird."
We moved toward him to know about the bird.
We saw that," The Stranger caught a cute bird in the mud.”
The school bell was bitten along. It means time for snacks. We left the field.
I really forgot about the Bird and the Stranger one when I concentrated on studying. Next day we continue our classes as per Navodaya daily routine.
After lunch time,I took a one-and-a-half-hour rest. At this time most of the students were sleeping but I used to write something. I heard some fluttering sounds. I observed that the strange boy cutting a liberty shoe cartoon.
I asked him , “ A fellow, what are you doing with this cartoon?”
He answered, " This is not a cartoon,It's home for the cute bird!
Heyii.. Come here and help me .”
I also engaged in making a home for bird.
He always left the academy building and started running quickly to Shiwalik House to take care of the bird. After lunch or dinner,he collects rice and some other food from the mess for the bird.
This was the second day for the bird in Shiwalik House. He left from the mess too early that day. But we take 15 minutes more to get there. After that we moved to our house. Before enter to our room we listen;
The Strange Boy monologue, " Hey Bird! Do you know, I bought food for you. But you didn't eat. Do you know human nature is selfish? No human will serve a bird. I am the only man in the world who courier for you.
Eat this food. Don't anger me."
He observed that the bird was not eating. Trying to fly away.
He shouted again, " Little one, I know very well;how you feel here.
I am also like you.
What do you think? This is a cage .
No,This is Navodaya like a central jail where we need to eat Tomato Rice, Zeera Rice, Lemon Rice and other types of rice items. It's compulsory to eat and there is no way to escape. You also need to follow these menus because Navodaya doesn't allow fast food in Campus."
We laughed uncontrollably with these words from him.
Someone said, " Oh! Bird Lover. Navodaya is a school not a jail."
He felt shy with our laughing.
The Independence Day we celebrated in our academic building, After the program we went back again to our house. We were getting ready to take advantage of the holiday with a Cricket match. But that's a bad day because the previous day we lost the ball which goes beyond the boundary into a river. No cricket, that's why we plan to spend it inside the house.
We found the strange boy again talking with the bird. And the bird became weaker day by day due to the sophisticated environment.
We asked him to Leave the bird in her world.
He murmured, " Actually, I fell in love with the bird so I can't be apart from her.”
I told him , "What do you think love means only care ?
No, Love means care as well as sacrifice. Sometimes, Letting go is the greatest act of Love."
He replied, " Ok! I agree with you. Let's be independent her."
We gathered so many students near a window to give the birds freedom. The Strange Boy leave the bird with his loving hand. When the bird gets relieved, she flies at such a speed that it seems faster than the speed of a train or Cheetah. I think, “The bird felt much more afraid of humiliating by the human.”
The sad moment was when the bird collided with the third floor of the next building and fell 50m feet down. We, The boys started running downstairs from the second floor and crouching the bird.
At last we found bad news that the bird was not fly in the sky, it's over heaven. Finally we covered her body with soil in front of Shiwalik House. At that place we planted a Tulsi Tree and started worshiping daily.
But,We always felt regret for her death on Freedom Day.
