Hampered Harmony

Hampered Harmony

( Dedicated to those IITians in general… who will be passing out this year, in particular )

Think about the years that you had

Crossing the obvious moat,

In a world full of judges and preachers

What was it that kept you afloat ?

See in flashback your days

Gruesome as they were,

How worse or better could they have been

But for your dream’s subtle care

Feel the times you went through

And the moments that mocked you by,

Of random musings unmeasured

While inching towards that high

Live the life you never lived

And do come to tell us the end,

What was it that was broken ?

What were you trying to mend ?

Often it dawns upon us with ease

Like the taste towards the the last bite

How hard we ran to reach the crease !

When the ball was nowhere in sight !

And so it goes the rhapsodic rant

Where at the end happiness begins to show,

You realize you had all you want

Precisely when its time to go…
