Icarus and his wings



It was a very hot day in Dubai and I had half a nerve to go straight to Mr.Sun and tell him to take a strong nap. My thoughts kept me breathing and angry and soon i began to think of a story i had heard as a child. A certain guy called Icarus(a greek mythological character) had some thoughts about the Sun too. Only his thoughts were on conquering the Sun itself.He was convinced that he was stronger,greater and more smarter than the decades old Sun. Anyway, Icarus  gets all set to fly to the Sun with wax wings that he makes to help him reach his destination. The story concludes with Icarus's wings melting in super speed and throwing him down perilously.

Icarus reminded me of people who were so full of themselves. They are convinced that there is nothing above them. Not even the superior force that remains a mystery to man till date. ( Some of us refer this Superior force as God himself).Icarus's wings are of different colours that indicate the different cultures and continents of people.
