Ali!!!!!
And The…………..
Magical
Lamp!!!!
Every one must have
read Aladin story or have seen his movie, where he finds magic lamp in cave of
wonders, he rubs it and one gine appears and the gine grants him three wishs ,
it changes his life. Well, you will find the same thing in this story but little
different from real aladin story. Let’s begin our story………..
It was stromy night,
wind was blowing, trees were moving along the wind like waving to me ………. Owl
were staring at me . …….. no!!!!
Wait………. wait, don’t
take any shortcuts, tell the story properly from the beginning, how it happened???
When it happened???
Ok, ok, ok………..
It was morning, well
every thing begins in morning. I went to college. I was in 12th std,
of course,it was my finale year.
I had many friends in class also they were
helpful to me, we used to crack lot of jokes, talk a lot while recess their
used to be many hands in single tiffin box or some time even bunk the class,
but feeling it is bad we used to attend the lecture, teachers were also good to
me and always encourging to every one. I was having great fun in college,
but Their was this boy (Kasim) in my class, he always used to
tease me and make fun of me. I just don’t know what his problem was? He used to
put some kind of gel on his hair to straighten up, used to wear, black like
earring in his ears and of course lot of perfume. He used to bunk every class
and used to say to say’ it is style baby!!’ he always used to disturb me in
class and used to make fun of me. He was always troubling me since 11th
STD I don’t know what his problem was?
Let
it be. It is better not to mention it.
One
day a new girl came in our class, her name was jasmine. She had glowing face,
her eyes were light brown and she had one pony. She was little taller than me,
I liked her in first look and tried to introduce myself to her,
But………….but
why kasim had come to in between? He stopped me and said’ go back, move back’.
Many
time it happened like this but…………..
One
day she came to me asking for notes, I just kept staring at her,
‘Hello!!’
she said’ can u help me with completing the notes?’ she asked politely,
Well
I just said’ yes, yes……… of course why not.’
I gave her my book then I just kept staring at
her………
‘Wait
this is my chance to introduce myself to her’, I said to myself.
I
introduced myself to her, she smiled.
She
was always nice to me and helped me what to say about her………..her smile was to
see, we used to crake jokes and used to laugh a lot, she used to talk a lot and
I just used to see her.
One day, I thought maybe I should wait for
perfect time then I will her truth, how I feel about her in my heart about her,
that time will come soon.
One
day, I was about to tell her about my feeling for her…………… when…………
Kasim
entered the class and started laughing and making fun of me and pushed me back.
I just bowed down and walked from there.
Let me first introduce
myself first, my name is Ali and I am handicapped boy, I can’t hear nor I can
walk properly but I am happy for who I am.
That night i was
returning from college, it was dark but still had some street light on. When
suddenly I heard some cries for help,
No!!!!! no!!!!!!
I went in the direction of voice to see what
is the matter.
I saw a gang was
teasing one girl, I tried to see anyone was around but no one was there so, I went
to save the girl from gang. ‘Leave the girl alone!,’ I said with one stick in
my hand(‘don’t act like hero, you are not salman khan,’ my mind said) but they
didn’t listen but they just saw me…………. and trashed me,
One boy even punched
me………….
Thank god!! one
police van was pasing through that place and saw everything.
Seeing the police
van coming the holigen just ran madly from there , leaving the girl alone.
The girl said thank
you to me and left.
One thought appered
in my mind,How I wished to be normal boy able to walk, run, jump, like other
children, fight bad boys(like jackie chan, wooo........ woo..........) then of coruse,I would had impressed
jasmine also and I would had faught with those holigens and had taught them
nice lesson. But shit I can’t do all those things.
Well, I was on my
way to home with one leg injured.
I reached home, when
mummy said,’ where were u? why u came late? What happened to your face? Speak
up!!!’ It sounded much like judge asking me all this. Her question were sconded
more like alligation to me and making me sound guilty.
I just lied to her
and said that I had gone to library after school and while returning, I swpet
my legs off the stairs and felt on floor and hurt my leg. She said nothing more
after that but little.’ Just be careful while walking and go slow’.
‘ Aladdin,dinner is
ready come fast!’ mommy said.
My parents
loving call me (Aladin) in home, as it
is my pet name, also I feel this name kind of strange.
We had habbit of
watching television while eating food, my brother was changing channel again
and again, as if their were not single channel of his like.
Then he put one channel sony-max
there was one cartoon movie named “Aladdin” it was not intresting at first but
since it’s name was Aladdin probably my pet name so got intrested and began to
watch it. The movie was like this : The film opens with Jafar, Grand
Vizier to the Sultan of the
fictional sultanate of Agrabah, attempting to retrieve a magicaloil
lamp containing
a genie from
the Cave of Wonders. He enlists a petty thief to enter the cave and retrieve
it, whose attempt fails. Jafar and his parrot assistant, Iago, learn that only a "Diamond in the Rough"
can enter the cave. Meanwhile,Jasmine( not
the girl from my class), the Sultan's daughter, frustrated with her life in the
palace, flees to Agrabah's marketplace. There she meetsstreet
rat Aladdin and his
monkey pet, Abu, and
the two begin to form a friendship. After Aladdin is arrested by orders of
Jafar, Jasmine orders Jafar to have him released. Jafar lies to her that
Aladdin was already executed, leaving Jasmine heartbroken.
Jafar, disguised as an elderly man,
releases Aladdin and Abu from the dungeon and leads them to the Cave of
Wonders, promising a reward in return for retrieving the lamp. The cave allows
them to enter but instructs them to touch nothing but the lamp. Aladdin and Abu
find a magic carpet.
Aladdin obtains the lamp but Abu's attempt to steal a gem backfires and causes
the cave to collapse. The carpet flies them back to the entrance and Aladdin
delivers the lamp to Jafar, who then tries to kill him. Abu then thwarts Jafar
and steals back the lamp as he, the carpet, and Aladdin fall back into the cave
just as it closes.
In the collapsed cave, Aladdin rubs the
lamp, inadvertently unleashing Genie, who
reveals he will grant Aladdin three wishes with the exception of murder,
romance, revival of the dead or additional wishes. Aladdin tricks the genie
into magically freeing himself, Abu, and the carpet from the cave without
actually using a wish; thereafter, Genie states that Aladdin will not receive
anymore magic help unless he explicitly states "I wish". While
contemplating his wishes, Genie admits he would wish for freedom, since he is a
prisoner to his lamp. Aladdin promises to free Genie as his last wish. Aladdin
decides to use his first wish to become a prince in order to be legally able to
court Jasmine.
Meanwhile, Jafar attempts to mind control
the Sultan into arranging a marriage between himself and Jasmine in order to
become Sultan himself. Before he is able to succeed, Aladdin appears and
parades into the Sultan's palace as "Prince Ali of Ababwa". Sultan is
impressed but Jasmine rejects Ali as a suitor. Despite the Genie's suggestion
that Aladdin to tell the princess who he really is, Aladdin keeps up his act as
a suave prince and takes Jasmine around the world on the magic carpet. Jasmine
suspects that Ali is actually the man she met in the marketplace; during the
trip, she tricks Aladdin into admitting it and demands the truth from him.
Aladdin fabricates a story that he sometimes dresses as a commoner to escape
palace life. The couple kisses as Aladdin returns her home.
Afterwards, Aladdin is kidnapped and thrown
into the ocean by Jafar who makes a second attempt to arrange a marriage. Genie
rescues Aladdin as his second wish; Aladdin returns to the palace and exposes
Jafar's plot. Jafar flees after noticing the lamp in Aladdin's possession,
realizing who Aladdin is. Aladdin has second thoughts about freeing Genie,
believing that without him he is "just Aladdin". Iago steals the lamp
and brings it to Jafar. Jafar becomes Genie's new master, using his first two
wishes to usurp the Sultan's throne and become the most powerful sorcerer in
the world. Using his new powers, Jafar enslaves Jasmine and the Sultan, exposes
Aladdin as a street rat, then exiles him and Abu to a frozen wasteland.
Aladdin and Abu use the magic carpet to
return to the palace, where Aladdin sneaks in to try and recapture the lamp.
Jafar proposes using his third wish to make Jasmine fall desperately in love
with him. Genie protests that he cannot grant that wish, but Jasmine decided to
feign interest in Jafar, allowing Aladdin to try to grab the lamp. Aladdin gets
caught and battles Jafar, who transforms
himself into an
enormous cobra and
traps Aladdin. Jafar claims to be "the most powerful being on Earth",
to which Aladdin argues that Genie is more powerful. Faced with this
realization, Jafar uses his final wish to become a genie himself. However, he
then discovers that genies are not free entities as he is sucked into a lamp of
his own, dragging Iago with him. The Genie sends Jafar's lamp flying into the
Cave of Wonders. Genie urges Aladdin that he should use his third wish to
regain his princeship, warning Aladdin that he has never seen a woman like
Jasmine, but Aladdin, realizing that he cannot keep pretending to be something
he is not, decides to keep his promise and wish for Genie's freedom. Seeing
Jasmine's love for Aladdin, the Sultan changes the law to allow her to marry
whomever she deems worthy. The newly free Genie leaves to explore the world
while Aladdin and Jasmine celebrate their engagement
The end
Wow! This movie is so nice and inspiraing also.
The ginie how it granted him three
wishes, how it change aladin life and made him sultan, and also he got jasmine. How I wished that I also get this magical
lamp and he gives me three wishes like him. It kept maturing in my head again
and again………….
That night when I went to bed to
sleep, my mind was thinking about the movie. So I slept………... dreaming about this magical lamp,
I dreamt that I had gone to egypt
with my friends, we were visiting many places and having great fun.
We were visiting through many shops……….
Their was one antique shop, their were many old antique materials but my
mind set on some thing more attractive and beautiful, in all that old pices
there was one lamp covered with dust but still shiny.
I asked the shopkeper for the prise of this lamp but he said, ‘it is not
for sale please take some other material’ and took the lamp from me. I don’t
know what his problem was? But my mind was still only about that lamp.
After some time ,
I saw the shopkeeper getiing busy with other custmor and placed the lamp
down,
I thought it was my movement and within that time I took the lamp, hided
in my backpack and soon went out.
While I was half way, when I saw the shopkepper following me, I just ran
from there , the shopkeeper also ran behind me.
I hided myself behind one block and waited for the shopkeeper to go away.
It was becoming dark………… but I saw the shopkeeper turning away. I came out
of my hiding spot but soon relize that I have lost my way……..to my friends. I
just looked around but every there was sand. I was confused what to do?
All was disappeared……gone…… I don’t know what was happening?????
I sat down with confusing look ……………..
Then my eyes went to my backpack, I had one waterbottlle, one rope one
match box (I don’t smoke for information) this are things which I keep in my
bag, just in case of emerjency and one lamp. It was shining …………. But had
little dust on it, so I rubbed it……….
Some smoke started to come out of it………..
now I was little afraid and confused also. I was thinking ghost should not
come out of it and started chanting ram, ram!!!!! or human chalisa , my father
said whenever u feel insecure read it.
The smoke began to come even more and one little man appeared in front of me
with turban on his head, and he was flying but he seemed much like ghost.
‘What u wish for, mater!’ the little
man said loudly,
Err………..er……… with fear I said,
‘Who r u? I asked,
The man said he is Genie , whoever rubs the lamp, he is his
master and he grant him three wishes but he had few conditions which he can’t
do like exception of murder, romance, and revival of the dead or
additional wishes, he said
‘So tell me what u wish for?’ the genie asked.
My mouth was wide open after hearing this………
‘I just didn’t know what to ask for,’ I said
I had such a long
wish list about what to ask, that I don’t where to start, I was thinking like
that.
I thought maybe he is bluffing; he can’t fulfill my any
wish, so to check I played small trick on him.
‘If u are real and can fulfill my wish than can u take me
home?’ I asked
The genie just filliped his finger …………. And within the
movement I was home.
‘Wow! This is great’ I said.
Now I was sure he can grant my wish so asked him my first
wish- “I wish you, that u cure me, make me like normal boy”
And again
the genie filliped his finger……………. And my wish was granted.
In the
morning when I went to college, I could hear everyone voice, discussion and
music everything, everyone was looking at me and thinking how I was walking
properly.
I even
danced in front of them to show them and they were pretty shocked to see.
And that’s
when kasim entered the class with two boys behind his back (why kasim has to
come in, can’t he leave me alone? I said to myself with sad face)
He started
making fun of me and pushing me, I was angry and wanted to punch him but
remained silenced to avoid fight because he had strong body than me and I just
turned back with sad face.
Then I knew
what I had to wish for………. To teach him nice lesson……….
I came home
and rubbed the lamp ………………….. And the genie appeared,
‘What is
your second wish’ the genie asked.
For second
wish I asked-“I wish you to make me stronger
than anybody on earth”
‘I hope that u know, what u are asking for’ the genie said.
I didn’t paid much attention to his words and he filliped his finger…………..
Then again in the morning I went to college, I was feeling stonger than
before.
Periods passed………… I was waiting for kasim to come.
That’s when he came and started pushing me, now I was not much afraid of
him and punched him, he felt down unconsious, every body saw that and started
clapping. I felt nice this way.
One boy came to stop me …….but I pushed him back.
My friends also tried to tell me but I scolded them, and they went away.
Jasmin was looking at me, I thought may be she is impressed about how I
punched kasim…………….but no, she wasn’t.
She said’ what has happened to you? you have lost respect from me for u, I have always liked you but I hate u now!’ and
she left saying that angrily. I felt very bad about it.
I came home when my mother stopped me and said to bring some mateial from
shop, I brought it. When I was about to eat my dinner she stopped me and said
to wash my hand first. She asked me to remove mixture from above cubord
’do it nicely and safely’she said,
She stopped me many times………….. fed up with her argument, I angrly said,’
don’t instrust me again and again, just leave me alone!!!! I don’t want your
advice, just leave me alone.’
That night mother didn’t come home, mother had made some food in morning
but I didn’t feel much hungry, I got tensed about what to do? I felt guilty
about what I said to her and I didn’t mean her to go away.
I just took out the lamp and rubbed it ……….but genie didn’t came out now I
really got tensed.
I started to rub the lamp even more fastly….
Finally! The genie appeared.
‘why are u crying? What happened?’genie said.
I told him everything about what has happened.
He said,’I told u, to wish wisly, but you never listen prpoperly, now see
what has happened.’
‘I am sorry, for not listening to your instruction properly’ I apologised
to genie.
Now I was thinking filled with regret, wondering how to put piece of my
life together after one magical movement.
' I have lost my mother, I have lost
jasmine, my respect , my friends everything That’s fine end'. i said.
‘That’s end for your story, and u will make it better’ the genie said.
‘what? How could I make it better?’ I asked the genie,
‘well, as I know in the stories, just when things look bleakest, the hero
would do something unexpected and courageous and save the day’ the genie said,
Genie I know what I have to do, I still have my third wish left-“ I wish for u make things the same as they were before ……..before
meeting you.’
The genie filliped his finger……….
Every thing began to go dark, everything was dark, I began to think about
what is happening????????????????????????
I heard some voice calling me…….
‘Alladin! Ali get up! Get up! It is morning, you will late for college’ my
mother said.
I had tears in my eyes as I saw my mother was sitting next to me, I just
huged her and said ‘I love u mommy!’
‘what happened?’mother said.
‘ no, nothing happened …….nothing… I will always listen to u’ I said.
I took the bath and went to college……..
It was last day of my college means farewell day, we had small party
organised in the college, every body had wore nice clothes on this day, I had
the same stick in my hand,every thing seemed normal as it was before.
One boy came to me, properly dressed, oil on his hair and specs on his
eyes,
‘Hiii’ he said.
‘Hiii’ I said to him with confusing look,
‘Sorry…….. but I don’t know you’I said,
‘You don’t know me?’ he said with big eyes staring at me .
He said he is kasim!!!
My mouth wide open, I was just looking at him making myself believe what I
am seeing.
‘You are kasim! Kasim is it u trully? What happened to u?’I asked
I thought he would make fun and
push me but no he didn’t do that.
‘what happened to u?,’I asked
He had smile on his face and
brought his hand to shake with me.
‘I am sorry, for treating u bad, I am really sorry’ he said.
Is he apolojizing to me……………..
‘This is real me since it is last day of college and I wanted tell u the
truth, I was teasing u, just to seem cool to every one but truly, I am not that
kind of boy u think I am’ he said,
‘I am sorry that I teased u, hope we are friends ‘ he said
I just shook the hand with him
Now things are seeming more confortable. Also little deprestion that for
this many times we were together we didn’t knew it.
hahaha, is it funny na. before we were just fighing against each other and now we are friends
Jasmin was looking very beautiful that day. She came near me and handed
one letter with little smile on her face.
I quickly opened the letter it was written: “ I like u”
Wow! It is so nice she likes me too……………….
We both on the stage ……….. danced the floor…. Not many were watching us.
I held her close to me though, I can’t dance but she holded my hand and
helped me and supported me, I put my head on her shoulder and she put her arms
around me, it was most amazing movement of my life.
But shit we both knew truth.
She wanted to become doctor, take career in medical course and eventually
her father also got transfer to other city.
We were on different roads, she and me. two ships that passed in same sea
but are floting different direction.
Since it is last day of college,
But the most important I will miss my college days and my friends a lot ………….
I came home to see the lamp to thank genie for teaching me nice lesson about
life……….. but their was no lamp.
Moral: “ Never try to become someone else which u are not,
always love yourself, know that u are special in some way, always listen to
others carefully,make friendship with enemy instread of hurting them, do not
wait for perfect time as time waits for no one, every time is perfect to do right thing.”
