Hey Girl...

Hey Girl, Yes you!
Tell me how you doing in life?

Remember that essay you wrote in class five

The classic what if ...and your lovely page three
It contained an ocean, in just words two fifty (250)

Each one of us in a class of thirty

wanted to do something beyond call of duty
There was a terrific scientist, a super human doctor
Also, a confused I wanna make papa happy engineering star!

We dreamed, we wrote,

Then we settled with our autonomous roles.

Thought, that was essay to please the teacher,

It was about scores. Few remarks in yellow report card.

That essay, nope! wasn't me

Settled she called, this is my journey
Cook, feed and her availability

Said she, "I will be less for someone to be More"


Some or the other way, few of us scaled 

And became.. what we ought to got to be

This is for my friend, whom I lost

Who could not be, what she thought she would be

Disturbed, I wondered

All those essays that I doted way back when we were twelve year old

Who came in between?

Why the words look so hollow, so empty
Dare you not call this fate and destiny 

I ponder,

what if all that we wrote had we achieved somehow!!
Would the world map looked little different than it is now ?

We all want some roof, some bread, and some stability

But look at the price the twelve year old dreams pay! 
To earn this security

Irony! I am in..

We all started together, why we could not finish together?

Hey Girl, I wanna ask

Have you heard the word .. Restart!

For All you teaching your four five year old,

They will achieve a bit More, 
...if they see you achieve what you wrote in your respective stories

Let that essay writing not die an unnatural death


My sweetheart, My darling


Life is asking, same old question

Have you Claimed, Your position ?
