Love for darkness

It was a new moon day and Around 8 in the night, 5 year old Ayush Called his mom to accompany him to the restroom which was constructed separately at the back of the house. His mom refutes to accompany him believing that if she does so he will gain some confidence and will go on his own.But Little did she knew that Ayush was sacred of Darkness that Getting beaten up by his mom for wetting his pants.So He is a guy who is petrified of darkness like every other 5 year old kid. 

But unlike others his fear for darkness increased as he grew up. He was born to an orthodox family and was sent to a Residential school where they also taught religion when he was 8. He still remembers the day he stood outside principal’s room  crying as his parents waved goodbye to him . He missed his home badly that Every night before he goes to sleep he cries but  for two reasons , one being that his parents left him there and the other one being Darkness.He was crying silently and weeps his tears off that his friends in next bed doesn’t hear him and somehow manages to sleep every night.

Finally When he was 14 his parents picked him from the Residential school to Join him In a school in his own town since the Residential school had classes only till 8th grade. He was very happy and excited . He thought he’s finally gonna live his normal life back again with his parents and freedom from darkness.But his happiness slowly faded away as his parents not only didn’t let him do anything that he wanted to do but also made him sleep in a separate room and darkness chased him there too.

One month into school he made new friends and became close with them. And his friends decided to go out bunking classes. Ayush also joined them because he knew his parents won’t let him go out or else.

So They bunked their class and his friends took him to a place which had a Big Hall where a flood of people were seated and in front of them was a Huge white Canvas and then the whole crowd went silent as a Ray of light from behind hit the screen and now there’s a picture on the screen and and the movie started playing . It was a movie about a superhero trying to save the world and the Lights came ON as the movie was over and  That’s when he realised that the lights went off at the 10th minute of the movie and 

The fact that the place was dark for Whole 2 hours and it never came to his mind.he thought he has found his superhero that will protect him from darkness. He realised it then that darkness is really just a place without light. I know it’s obvious but the light switch is all we need to find at that point.

He after Graduating College realised that If it was his mom who saved him from his fear of Darkness while doing sussu then it is the Movies that is going to save him from his life’s darkness. To get away from one’s darkness He/She has to find that switch but it’s not the same switch for everyone.

Some find it in movies , some in music ,etc.

For him It was those interesting stories that distracted him from darkness.So he decided to give some interesting stories to people like him to come out of their fear they have in many forms.So as to Continue the Chain.

Of course, he had to face a lot of obstacles on this journey and it was never a smooth ride, but whenever he faced an obstacle it reminded him of the people who always walk around while a movie is being played blocking the picture and whenever that happens you always hear a voice screaming "Sit down or move aside!!" , and then everything goes back to normal.

He believed that the voice was either our instinct or God's direction that will show us what is right, no matter what.

So yeah, Look for that switch and it'll all be bright again.
