Thank you Mario!

As I pressed over the joystick, all glued into the computer screen.
 He was a Super Mario! He was the one super-hero,
 rushing dreamily but keenly after his princess. 

He started from a footpath, he walked and jumped over rich- brown Cadbury(s) 
 There emerged some mushrooms and ducks,
 he kicked them and obtained some powers.
 He was a super hero. 
He comprehends through the sky and obtains the golden opportunities 
with twinkling coins making tinkling sounds. 

My Mario scored 2,10,98,70 today!
See the exquisite high-jump that I can take from that last piece of chocolate staircase
towards that flag of no man’s land! 
See, the fire-shots, how heaven is celebrating along with me! 
And now my Mario enters into a novel castle.

He lands into darkness, he again jumps over the flowers which can swallow him in,
he kicks away the small faces wearing helmets and snubs away all the enemies on the way.

 When lucky, My Mario got through the green mushroom, adding one more life to his tenure

Easing his journey where he is meant to meet his princess.

Mario started off bad, stuck with envious ducks around him, 
jumping over the nauseating bridges and had to shine with all gold to reach to her castle. 

He fought through every obstacle, not eating anything for hours, he kept on searching for any super-powers
he kept on leaping over walls, sometimes could grip over some magic stems that made him float through the sky,

he shone like a star and was immune to all ill-wills of the harmful creatures in the wonderland.

One fine day, he lands into the dragon castle, 
he stands and jumps against all odds. 
He saves himself from all bullets coming on his way, 
he finally faces the dragon and they are in a fiery brawl. 

Oh, Mario has hit the hatch, the dragon has fallen down!

But………… Thank You Mario, your Princess is in Another Castle!!!

Life is one such Mario game. Or you can say it is like finding your love through the hurdles, across the glittery paths which are not gold, while taking a bonus off and on.  He and she, You and I, are there in an ultimate search like Mario is. We exactly do what he does, we make money and get rich, we hear applause around when we move ahead or get through a new milestone. Clothes change from dull red to bright red, we grow up from small to tall, but the search continues. Then comes the one moment when, he and she and you and I reach near that one repulsive dragon in our respective lives; but by this time we are motorized enough that we can tactfully bang that dragon down!

It is an interesting race we are in, every time we take yet another leap of faith and re-start a new game. Life is a joy-stick we dance upon and pause where necessary. We shall keep on coming back to the nasty dragon even when we know the Prince/Princess won’t be there. The journey is fun and even Mario does not lose hope and yet takes another jump from the last chocolate-wall, he soars high, scores great and gets the flag!

So, He and she, You and I , why worry even if the Prince /Princess is in Another Castle…!!!!
