The lonely caravan

Once there was a caravans. Many people were there in that caravan. Of different age groups. Heading on an empty road. Very calm that caravan was. No one was talking like no one knows how to talk. All were sad. All in a sad caravan that was with a pin drop silence in there. Marching ahead leaving the traces of their tears. A very unique caravan.
This was not a usual one, had a history behind it. Once a lonely person stepped up on this empty road, leaving all his people who never cared for him. He was sad coz he was leaving them. And crying because no one tried to stop him. He kept walking. Soon another lonely person stepped on the same path and joined him. But no one spoke to each other, they were so sad. Thus one by one lonely people joined and thus formed the caravan. To say they were walking in a caravan but actually they were still alone with their own thoughts.
After a long journey on the same path they saw a young boy is coming from the other end. He was looking happy. How can he be so happy alone, they thought. The boy stopped near them and asked that where are they going. We don't know, one of them said. Where the path will take us, another answered. The happy looking boy adviced them not to go ahead coz the path has no end and they will get tired walking. He asked them to come with him.
They rejected the offer and asked why he was happy. The boy smiled again and answered,"I was also a lonely person while I was going on this path. I got tired and stopped at a place Under a big tree. I saw a bird sitting on the branch of that tree. Soon another one joined him from other tree and they flew away together. I thought that I am not the only who is hurt. I am not the only who alone. Many like me there in this world. So if birds can do this why we can't. Why we lonely people cant get together and be happy making our own world. So I got back to find sad and lonely people and spread some smiles. But why you all looking so sad." he finished asking another question.
The caravan people were surprised. They thought that they are so many and still not happy. They felt fool. They were Impressed with the boy. They joined the boy in making another happy world.
Now the caravan was moving back with one more people. They were smiling now. They were heading towards a new future to spread some smile.
N. A: never think that you are alone, there are many like you. So always find the reason to be happy. And spread smiles over the lips which think they are alone.
