It was love at first sight! At the annual science fair, I happened to mistake the small cylindrical object for a pencil box. But when I was unable to open the box, the salesman guided me, "Look inside and you will discover a whole new world."
Indeed I did!
One peep inside was just not enough, for the ocean of shapes and colours swept my heart away! I often looked up to smile at the salesman however, each time I would peeped back, new shapes and colours welcomed my eyes. It was tough to understand them, just like it is tough to understand life, with its various hues and forms; or people around us who change their ways and colours at different angles of life. Curiosity to see them all conflicted with the frustration to know it all.
Finally, the heart said, "What the heck? Just enjoy!"
And so I did by satiating my eyes with the myriad shapes n colours. Sometimes sitting back and enjoying is the best one can do. We only live once, so explore as much as you can.
My eyes just kept asking for more, until I spent the money in my pocket to make it mine forever...
That was my first date with Kaleidoscope!

The kaleidoscope was one of my favorite toys when I was a child. So much color ever changing. Nice bit of memory writing here.
