The Path to a Secured Life…

I put in all the time… I put in all the effort…

It’s like looking out for water in Arabian Desert…

Every time I tried and took attempt after attempt…

Neither any development in groups… Nor anything exempt…

 

Today when I think about the journey so arduous…

Initially, it truly looked guarded and innocuous…

 

It’d turn out to be barbarous… who was aware…??

Who knew it was going to be a prolonged grinding affair…

 

The consequences surely caused the mind to impair…

My heart shattered in bits and pieces, beyond any repair…

But, in midst of all the crisis, captivating stories are made…

Well, that’s the way of life, sweet and salty as a lemonade…

 

So may be its just best to embrace this life and welcome it all…

Moments we spend are a maddening medley… At times rain, at times fall…

The longest gap….Generation Gap…

This fact remains universal… And unabridged remains the gap…

This constant grapple amongst generations… Quite routine is this trap…

 

Baffling are the ways of age… Bizarre and eccentric is each and every stage…

Why do parents expect… As not everybody goes through the same page….

 

Every river will ultimately emulsify in the ocean… This fact is undoubted….

You made your own way Dad… To me, it’s too mainstream and crowded…

My way is all fresh and pristine… But only with your accord, shall that be sprouted… 

Your way tells me to pass the vexatious memory tests and achieve a good position…

Yes, I entered all convinced… For those tests were now my only ambition…

At times I even wonder, trying hard to put all my heart in this mission….

How vital it is for us to carry on with this family tradition….?

I did all I could and made no omission…

But to just let it be, I surely do need your permission…

Trust me on this Sir, your daughter, she is a limited edition…. 😉

 

Want to know her side…? Read on….

Her way is to Read, write, travel and explore….

She needs a painless livelihood, what’s the need to earn a crore…? 

A clean and smooth job would do… As she is jaded to keep up with the score…

A life well fed with strain and worry… You really want her to open that door…? 

For you, sir… she might even get it all done…

But, at the cost of her path, what’s the fun…? 

All that’s needed is a little trust and a little freedom…

For everything to flower well and pleasantly blossom…

Come on Dad… Smile….!!! 🙂 !!! 🙂 !!! 🙂

Cause Traveling is Living ….

A way to stay alive… Travel and explore…
Put aside the mind… See the heart implore…

Close the eyes… Fix upon a destination….
It’s time to fly… & break every limitation….

See the little smile, make every arrangement…
Getting out from this mishmash, is a great attainment….

So, the day to begin the journey has eventually arrived…
Just after taking the first step, our frittered souls revived…

The heart has no clue.. As to what’s up with it within…
Its just all perky jaunty, for the Voyage quest has ushered in…

Five of peppy friends with their luggage all set…
Eyes filled with spark… Their car is no less than a jet…

60…80….100… And a hundred and twenty….
Pure and sheer fun it was, raise to the power plenty…

Some off roading and a little help from GPS…
When it came to Punjabi music, we all went “oh yes yes yes….” 😀

Laughter reinvented, with crazy snap chats…
Pouting continued, with earmuffs and hats…

Those yellow mustard farms, were a visual treat…
Standing there in silence, made us all complete…

Then like always, hunger took over…
Packed food from home, on the flyover… ❤

With the tummies full, and music turned down…
Just gazing out, we had reached another uptown…

Comfortably snugged.. With continued humming…
Now almost there, end to the road was coming…

Reached, got down and did a little arm stretch…
Looked all around, it was breath taking…like a sketch…

It was going to be wondrous.. We could all see…
And then we carried on, for the weather was ideal for a tea… 🙂
