U n Me

Since time immemorial my mom and I've had a sort of a ritual of visiting the temple every Tuesday. I don't know wheather its our way of saying that we are still spiritual in the race of modern life or a way to seek solace and strength for a brief moment, to become strong enough to face what lies beyond those walls. But there is one particular sight that I've never been courageous enough to face- that is the spectacle of seeing so many underpriveledged children lined outside the temple, looking at every person passing by with hopeful eyes, pleading with them to drop a morsel of food from the huge packet that they carry in the name of ' prasad' so that may be tonight they wouldnt have to sleep hungry.

But it wasnt always like this There was a time when i was happy When i smiled with every morning sunshine When my heart sang with every rain When there was excuberence in my step And my world was a secure place. Then my haven broke It all came crashing down The silver linings melted away into shadows And there was just me, left bare.
