The Lonely Star

Rejoice and enjoyment in the people around him. Cacophony and complete enjoyment in the people and in the city as they were celebrating the festival of lights with sheer pleasure. But irrespective of of the light and loudness, a boy was unnoticed in the crowd who was simply alone in his dark world of twinkling stars. It also lacked the Moon but  just because the purplish blue sky was moonless. It was not a lucky day for him, who had his hair up like the Andes or the Alps or maybe the Himalayas, just because he was in solitude, the girl(his friend) he liked was far from him, he was afraid of asking her out because he thought he might lose her, his best friends were far from him too and he was also upset from his family. He was a great admirer of the white but with some spots and craters, natural satellite of the so called 'Green' Planet!! But yes, for him it was a beauty, because he thought beauty without any drawbacks was just artificial!
He reached his destination through the crowded streets, but for him, he was alone. Reaching the sea-shore and pursuing a seat on the pavement for the dazzling view of the ever lit sky was his main aim to distract himself from the solitude. Gazing at the stars which were far beyond the reach of any social animal, always made him think of Extra-Terrestrial life. There always popped a weird thought in his mind that the self-luminous twinkling objects envy the whitish vanilla Moon, but then he realized that the stars were far far beyond the imagination and if they were near, they would have also been a bit huge and bright like moon or more than that, it was just because nature never envies itself, its just the way we think and everything will indeed result beautiful.
For him, the sky was never dark, it was like, the stellar objects mask the mightiness of the endless sky. He concluded that the firecrackers whom we call 'rockets' burst in the pattern of Spiders Web up in the sky! He then thought of chasing the teasing lights of the Aerodynamic Airplane with his vision, he was indeed successful in following the lights for two minutes but then it faded away like the steam condenses upon the mirror and all we are able to see is Steam. Rushing again onto his visionary 'travelloscope' he observed a star away from others, it made him think of himself, a part of the same gene pool but still away and alone.
But this star was twinkling and shining bright like a pearl in an ocean or like the burnt Magnesium stick!
He was filled with pleasure to see the self-luminous star regardless of the loneliness and distance from others. It made him remember that stars also have the same pattern of life, like we humans perish, stars also undergo singularity at the end of their shelf life, but during their stay in the universe all they do is shine and illuminate the lives on Earth.
Staring at that star a tear rolled out of his right spindle shaped eye. He then realized that the clouds were covering the stars and it formed a pattern like 'Papain' tenderizes the Meat! :)
The clouds made him restrict his thoughts and get back with a smile through the same dark, alone, and he faded away in the indifferent crowd like the 'Genie of the Arabian Nights'.....
