Sharing of your pass word of FB accounts;
Sharing of your pass word of your mobile
And sharing of your PIN of your Credit card;
That is the modern definition of Love!
If you can share these three with someone,
You love him or her;
Without any dilution;
Your love is eternal;
Your Love is heavenly;
Your devotion is complete!!!!!
What a tragedy of life
He had never been a friend of mine!
He had never been a foe of mine!
He was known to me,
I was not known to him!
I could not ignore his presence,
During two years of his college life with me!
He was the darling of the girls;
To our silent envy!
He had mastery in curricular activities;
Which made him close to the teachers;
Again to our envy!
After two years;
He was denied admission by the same teachers;
Who once adored him!
His academic result was not enough for admission!
I met him after twenty years;
With lousy dress;
With a vague look in his eyes!
He could not recognize me;
As expected, he did not recognize me earlier also!
I introduced myself as his classmate;
An extremely insignificant classmate!
He smiled at me;
How time passes;
Once you were a student;
None cared for your existence;
Today you may be important;
I am a burden of the society;
As a drunkard, as a failed man!
But still I respect you;
As an eloquent student;
Who was cynosure among the girls of our time
To our envy!
He again smiled and asked for few bucks for a drink!
We sat on a table of bar,
Ordered for a scotch;
Onlooker looked at me with a surprise look;
Probably my dress was not matching with my friend!
Few years back I am told;
He died of liver ailment;
For over dependence of alcohol;
Leaving behind his uneducated wife
To look after aged mother and two teenaged children!
He was a failed man;
Like many who preferred;
A life beyond academic excellence!
Whom we clap on their success;
When they are young;
We never make them economically viable;
Otherwise who will entertain us;
Whom we shall humiliate;
For their livelihood!
Or at their failure;
We treat them like a cock in cock fight;
If the cock loses, we kill it!!!
Art, culture, sports can make you famous1
But will not give you enough money,
To marry a beautiful girl;
Once my senior told me;
When my first poem was published!
I recall his statement,
Whenever I remember my friends;
Drowned midstream of life as a non-entity for our society!!!!!
