Reality Check!
A small south-facing balcony White cane chairs, potted plant Dream…blotted! House loan, EMI, tax savings Grocery shopping… Reality…bloomed! Full moon, sea-walk, strumming Lunching on classics, dining on Marquez Dreams… strangled! Vacations perfectly planned “I am not hungry” said often, Reality…smiled! Endless conversation, nonsense talks Adventure of stealing a kiss in public Laughing at stupidest things Dreams…pouted! Exhausted conversations, wry smiles Commercials to fill the daily soap named life Look backs at what-ifs and wish… Reality winked! Long drives, binge drinking… Friends, “Boss, you won’t believe…” Tea at three in the morning Dreams…buried! Price hike, do not drink and drive! Ransacking phone book to talk to… Vodka shots to sleep Reality…somber! Someone once said: “Do not let the smile fade” And you still smile at that!
