we have our own little prince.. a three year old bundle of pure joy named Utpal.
he suffered third degree burns when he was one and everyone gave up on him, even the men in white, but we did not…
today he fights for his life again as he has been diagnosed with a damaged liver..
we are all shattered… and wonder why he should be made to suffer again…
i can but think of st exupery’s beautiful fable ‘the little prince’ and draw analogies: just like the little prince, utpal seems to have come to bring joy, happiness and love to some many of us.
he is busy discovering the multitude of sub-planets that make our planet Earth. Last week he met with a fiver star hotel and a strange water body called a ‘pool’. bewildered at first, he finally entered the pool and then perplexed looked around and asked for soap!
Utpal’s journey on this planet continues.. he has a wide network of friends from the world over as utpal is a master at walking into people’s heart…
there is still so much more for him to discover.. walk by the sea, sail in a boat, feel the caress of a snow flake, climb a coconut tree…
and yet, for all those who know the tale of the little prince, their is a serpent waiting…
i just wish he loses his way…
for those of you who do not know him, here he is, but beware he may just walk into your heart too..
