Cotton Pod

The cotton pod dreamed of exploring the colorful world outside its pod. When the pod opened, it was picked and transported in baskets and bags with other pods. The pods were then untangled, smoothed, and rolled into coils. A woman spun the coils into threads, dyeing the cotton thread different vibrant colors. The cotton pod was happy to have been transformed from a white pod into a part of the colorful world it always wanted to explore.

The story of a Cotton Pod who wanted to explore the Colourful World.

The universe is filled with colours and textures is something that I realised as
soon as I was born. I was a little bud - a little scared I was but was curious to
know more about the wide world I could see from my cover. As I bloomed into
a pod, I could not contain my happiness at finally being able to break free.
Careful hands plucked me from my pod and I was taken in a basket with
many of my friends and siblings and placed in a heap.

I wondered what will happen next to me, will I remain like this - a small part of
the whole or will I go ahead and explore on my own. I found myself again
being taken with my friends and put in huge bags. Now what - I asked myself.
Where am I off to now - apprehensive and excited at the same time. After
traveling with my buddies for some time I was again offloaded, taken out from
the bags and put again in a heap. Small and tender hands started removing
my seeds and piling me up along with my buddies. I thought to myself - what
are they going to do to me...will I be able to explore this colorful world or will I
just whisk away. While I was thinking about my possibilities, I realized that we
were being rolled up into coils. I was smoothed, untangled and rolled up with
my buddies. Boy, I looked clean and tidy and shiny - come to think of it - all of
us did.

We were all very happy with our new avatars and were wondering why were
we being tidied up and rolled into round shapes - the answer came soon
enough. A lady was putting us onto a round thing and spinning it - I was
scared to go onto the round thing. And then it was our turn, the lady put me
along with my friends onto the round thing and started to spin. I could see my
friends being drawn together to form a thread and then I too was drawn and
made into a thread. Another form, another shape and we were bundled off.

I thought to myself, I have come a long way, seen a lot - what more was in
store for me and my friends now. Had we seen enough or there was still more
to come? I found myself along with others in a place full of colors - there were
so many colors - vivid, happy and so colorful. It reminded me of the colors of
the rainbow I had once seen from my cover when I was still a bud. Blue, Red,
Yellow, Orange, Green, Purple - they all were there - laughing, playing and
chattering. I found myself being dipped into a Yellow color and being stirred
around. I was breathless for a while and could not understand why this was
being done. I remember longing to explore this colorful world but was this
necessary? When I emerged from the pot, I had taken the hue of a bright
yellow - just like the rays of the sun. I was mesmerized by myself and as I
looked around, I saw my friends in shades of blue, purple, green, red, orange
- all equally mesmerized as me. From being a simple white cotton pod, we
had been transformed to cotton threads of vibrant colors. I was now a part of
this colorful world.
