SOMETHING I LOOK AT-198
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

THE COUNTDOWN-24

Days and years went by 
It seems as if it was yesterday 
When a young guy on his bicycle 
With an umbrella in hand 
Began his journey in pursuit of a life 
That eluded his grasp till then 

A man in the full bloom of youth
With dreams in his eyes
Put his first steps on the corridor of power 
Reasonably dissatisfied with himself 
With the decree of fate 
Knowing well there was a wide gap between
What he accomplished and what he deserved 
Made the biggest compromise of life and
Opted for something 
For which he is neither made for
Not best suited
Only to  make both ends meet 
To find a little earth and sky over 
For all those he loved 
Whose future was more important than
His longings and fancies

Began a new life 
Hoping all the colours on the way 
Only  found a family to support and 
Marriage to take care of.
The quest for  divine romance 
Ended in a romance in the material plane  
As the necessities of life took over
Spirituality receded to a silent corner 

Things changed 
So also people and their attitude 
Comforts came crowding 
Opened new avenues of life 
Only to take him away from the reality
His first love in the lap of which
He has spent the best of his life 

Now it is all over 
The man in the sixty 
Finds himself where he was long before.
Now he is to start afresh 
Whether he will fall in love with his first love
Or miss it once again 
Only time will say
