Came
dear FANI,
my
unseasonal, uninvited guest
stayed
for a while, left in a hurry
posed
to be busy, no time for rest
as
if some VVIP, extra ordinary
D’
unexpected visit, surprised us,
taught
us, enough of life lessons
no
more proud to be city dweller,
a forlorn
life, snapping relations
Need
alliance with neighbours,
can’t
cut off links with relatives
roads
are blocked, power’s gone,
find
no respite from water crisis
How
to breathe, felt suffocated,
drowned
in d’ depth of darkness
it taught
trick to have deep sleep,
even
if d’ AC is fully functionless
Walking
is useful, of vast benefit,
preferred
then to rely on a vehicle
four
wheeler use to be forbidden,
to
buy match box, few vegetable
to
clean clothes, for their drying,
not
to wait for washing machine
no Hospital
visit for all ailments,
can take
care of own well being
Now
convinced, can always live,
be
alive without a mobile phone
ATM,
credit cards can never help,
learnt
to have some cash at home
With
humility and pain I do admit,
smart
city turned to smashed city
yet you
imparted a lot of lessons,
even
if devastated entire locality
Now
alert how to survive in odds,
in midst
of havocs, natural disaster
extend
my sincere thanks for d’ jolt
u gave,
FANI u are a great teacher
