BORN OF FIRE

Fade in. A child cries in the distance.  Thunder rumbles. Slow piano plays.)

VOICEOVER BEGINS : 

     He arrived on thunder's breath 
 


The world didn’t greet him with lullabies 
Just thunder. And rain. And silence.

Born into shadows but never without a spark 

(Cut to a young boy staring through a cracked window.)

From the beginning, he was different.
Not broken—just unseen. People judged him before he even had a voice. They mocked him for being too soft… too real… too himself.

(Montage: classmates laughing, text messages flashing insults, doors closing on him.)

They called him names.
Laughed at his dreams.
Tore him down until he almost believed them.

Almost.

(Cue a slow beat drop. Visuals darken.)

Friends turned their backs.
A girl he trusted left him shattered.
And for a while,
he lived in pieces.

(Cut to a boy sitting on the floor, staring at his reflection in broken glass.)

But pain doesn’t just destroy.
Sometimes… it awakens.

(Music swells.)

He stood up.
Bleeding.
Bruised.
Burning.

And he chose to fight.
Not for revenge—
But for himself.

(Slow-motion: he’s writing in a journal, running through rain, sketching, creating—smiling for the first time.)

He rebuilt.
Dream by dream.
Step by step.
Smile by smile.

And when the world saw him again—
they saw something else.

Not a victim.
Not a broken boy.
But a survivor 

A storm in human skin.
A heart that refused to harden.

(Visuals brighten. A sunrise. A small crowd listening to him speak. A genuine smile.)
He taught others how to love,
even when they had every reason not to.
He showed them that kindness can roar louder than hate.

But here’s what they don’t show in the fairytales:

He still wonders…
Will he find happiness?
Will someone love the real him?
Will the wounds ever fade?

(Quiet moment. He looks in the mirror—Older now. Stronger.)

Maybe.
Maybe not.

But he’s still here.
Still standing.
Still smiling.

Because this story—
It isn’t about a perfect ending.
It’s about the fire that never went out.
The world tried to dim his light , 
Instead it made him burn brighter .

He was born of pain.
But he became the flame.
And maybe - just maybe - he'll light the way for someone else 

(Fade out. Music lingers. Screen fades to black.)

  HOME   I found a home— A place where I felt alive, Where I truly belonged, Where connections ran deep, Where happiness embraced me, Where I could be my authentic self, And where I cherished countless moments. Though it was an entirely new environment, It taught me invaluable lessons, Transforming me into a better version of myself. In this place, I met new people, Gained enriching experiences. Oh, how I wish I had Doraemon by my side, To journey back to that realm of joy and contentment. But alas, the time came to bid farewell To those beautiful chapters of my life. Three years passed in what felt like three days, A whirlwind rollercoaster of emotions and growth. Grief-stricken, I grappled with the departure from my haven. If only I were the wind, Able to traverse back and forth To the places my heart yearns for. Is it truly time to say goodbye? Is it the end of my joyful days? Confusion clouds my thoughts. Yet, I embrace challenges, For they bring...

A STORY OF IDENTITY AND INHERITANCE

Image
Apart from the challenges and hindrances in life, I often find myself wondering—why do I show different behaviors with different people? Yes, I know I’m unique, but it's a uniqueness shaped in many beautiful ways. Inherited Strength and Love I carry traits and personalities passed down through my family tree. It may sound a bit strange, but it’s true. My father represents strength, and my mother radiates love. I see both in myself. I’m a fighter, a survivor—I stand up for myself. But I’ve realized that this growing strength within me comes from my father. When someone hurts me, I react—I defend myself. People might see me as harsh or cruel. But soon after, guilt often creeps in. Maybe I should have stayed silent? But how long can I stay silent? The truth is, even when I’m hurt, I forgive. I care. I love. And that mix of strength and softness—comes from my strong father and my kind-hearted mother. A Brother’s Playful Spirit Sometimes, life feels dull. That’s whe...

VOICES WITHIN ME

Image
I was born with a voice. Soft. Curious. Unformed. My first words danced in Malayalam, The language of lullabies, Of home, of heart, The voice of my roots. Then the world called me further. In the UAE, I spoke in English, Crisp, new, and full of dreams. It gave me confidence. It made me visible. Delhi brought me Hindi, Spoken with strength, with warmth, A language that wrapped around daily life, As familiar as morning chai. Chennai whispered Tamil into my ears, Melodic and ancient, It settled into my soul like an old song rediscovered. For a while, I held Arabic and Sanskrit too Fleeting companions, Like beautiful birds that stayed just long enough to sing. They say, "You’re so lucky.  You’re a queen of languages." I smile. Not because I feel royal, But because I feel seen. Once, I doubted myself. I blamed my existence. I looked in the mirror and couldn’t find anything special. But now, When eyes light up as I shift between tongues, When admiration fills a room wit...
