Page 2 of Forgive and Forget

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!!!!!
