There are so many moments in our life that we keep aside from sharing simply because we know others won’t believe even if we dared to share …Well! I have decided to share such a rare moment that changed my entire life … trust me … its true and I am pretty sure you would love reading this …
The house stood lonely by the side of the road. I knew …I was indeed lost and the sight of house only re enforced this feeling. This was one part of our colony where I have never visited before during my so called bicycle expeditions though I had always boasted of my familiarity with our neighbourhood. I was a resident of this colony since the age of 3 and now I am 14.
I braked my cycle to a screeching halt and got down to explore the new found territory. The metal gates screeched as I opened them wide enough to let my thin frame in. The house seemed quite old but good enough to be my den next time we played hide and seek. I calculated as I went in. The door was locked with a chain around the handles and a heavy metal lock. Trying to open it would be sheer over confidence. So I started hunting for alternatives.Viola!!! I found a broken glass window without grills. I crept in and started investigating pulling out drawers and open cupboards.. Lot of household dusty things but nothing to impress a 14 year old…….. Until… my eyes fell on the wooden wand with a big diamond head.Wow!!! That looked cool… a wand I had always wanted …dark brown in colour with twined strips of black leather and a glazing ball like a big diamond. My hands raced to pick it up. It was lying freely on one of the table racks but when I tried to grab it, it didn’t budge. I tried again and again. Still the same .It looked as if it was glued to the table .I walked around the table and checked …the table and the wand was covered with dust and spider web. Dusting the wand with my handkerchief revealed some inscriptions on the table. As I cleared the entire word I knew it was a collection of jumble letters.
