Message from the skies

My day started off badly today. In Dubai, getting a license is like getting the Philosopher's Stone...eternal bliss. Today, I failed my first attempt at it. Assessment test, not passed. Oh well, a week more, and maybe I'll cross that hurdle. Still, it really isn't such a nice feeling, to be failing at anything, be it a silly road test or any task assigned in life. So, I spent my morning in not the best of moods. If I had to assign the color to my mood, it would be grey. Dark, gloomy, and dull.

With a morning like that, I did not hope for anything to liven up my spirits any time soon. Not even the thought of spending a full 3 days on campus, the one place that brings a smile to my face these days. Its my happy place. Even as I was in the car, on the way to college, a general gloom succumbed me.

Just then, by chance, I look to my left, while crossing the Dubai Creek, where the trees part, to show the open sky. Across the sky, I saw bright colors...Red, Blue, Green..in shape of a big heart. Now, how often does it happen, that you look out of the window and see a big red heart in the sky? I couldn't help but smile...I couldn't help but jump up in glee and point out that red heart to my parents in the front seats. I couldn't help but wonder, why today? Why now, when I felt in the mood that I did, did I get to see a sight like this? Is there a reason? Maybe, maybe not. But it sure felt like the universe conspired to bring back that smile to my face.

As I watched, I realized that the big red heart was part of the Dubai Airshow, which takes place every year, where pilots in air-crafts push their imagination to the limits and literally pain the sky red...

As I watched, the plane went on to draw an arrow through the red heart, cutting across diagonally. Beautifully done.

The heart, faded away. My smile's back. And hope, oh hope, will be there forever.
