THE PARTING GLANCE!!


The parting glance!!

Alas, It was time to part,
I realized deep in my heart,
I would never see my buddies again,
And also no drug could ease this pain,

They had come to bid me goodbyes,
At the airport with teary eyes,
I went numb, I didn’t feel like going,
Coz  my soul I was leaving behind,

I hugged everybody present there,
Saying to each, I’ll miss you, take care,
Accepting  cards and notes sentimental,
And many other parting gifts too,

Every small step away from them I took,
With moist eyes at everyone did I look,
That parting glance made me forlorn,
It made me realize that henceforth I would be alone,

Before my eyes flashed the past few years,
I tried hard to wipe those tears,
But it was no use coz they came harder each moment,
Reminding me of the things i was going to miss,

They were the ones who cared for me,
They were the ones who always supported me,
Through thick and thin,
I sat in the plane, reminiscing,

Seeing me cry, the airhostess asked me,
Are you alright mister,
I meekly nodded to her,
But I knew deep inside I was dying,

I again remembered that parting glance,
Faces that I would mostly never see again,
Or maybe we would meet at someone’s wedding,
I would always be praying for that second chance,

I realized money can’t bring happiness,
If one has no one to spend it with,
I looked out; the plane had taken off,
And I knew, life would never be the same again………………….

DRAVID: THE UNSUNG HERO!!

Dravid: The unsung hero!! An epitome of perseverance was he, A man of resolve; like a wall he stood, Weathering every belligerent storm with ease, Every single time, without an interlude, An epitome of ethics, an ideal sportsman was he, He made us believe, cricket’s still a gentleman’s game, For rarely he shouted, cursed or resorted to unfair means, Never did we see him bring our country’s reputation to shame, An epitome of selflessness was he, A man who would have walked on fire for his team, He did everything he was asked to do; and more, He would die saving someone else’s life, it does seem, An epitome of humility, a true altruist was he, For never in his life was he seen flaunting his records, Preferring instead to be a shadow, an unsung hero, A man who served; without expecting rewards, An epitome of loyalty was he, Like a mother loves her child since birth, Every step he took was in the interest of the country, Yet who never r
