Affinity with life..
Whenever I charted my path, it went through money, thrill and fame.
Surreptitiously destiny played its part by adding to it, another name.
One day I adventitiously took a wrong route to home to see a very beautiful scene.
Amongst a group of kids, dancing under a heavy rain, I saw an alabaster girl.
Strangely it brought to me a smile and not a laugh.
While watching The Nile, I was supposed to be thrilled and oh yes I was.
Thrilled I was because stuck on something, something which I wanted to see since always.
Strangely, seeing her for the first time, didn’t want to believe.
Whenever I fantasized of my dream house with everything I needed and everything I didn’t
I always thought of a pool, French window, bar and a bazooka size TV.
Strangely a garden with flowers and dew and gorgeous fragrance, added up.
Whenever I talked of my path, it was entirely me and I, entirely.
When did I became we, it all happened and happened surprisingly.
Strangely…!
Whenever left alone, I found myself in a crowd celebrating life.
When I am rendered to my dreams, I become someone appreciating life.
Strange was every good thing about it…!
Weird is the fantasy and so is realty
Well, I too am not here to decide what sane is and what’s insanity.
There is some blah blah stuff which I don’t want to say, but!
It could not be left without saying the blah blah stuff.
It is the enormous respect that I have for her, not because of anything, but!
For being the person she is and the fact that while charting her path she gives lesser consideration to I than we.
That’s her way to live life
And that’s my affinity with life…
