Then and Now
Gone are the days…
When I would cycle….
In the rains…
On the roads
And paddle through watery ways
Gone are the days….
When I would play video games
RoadFighter, Mario, Contra…
Glued to the television; Neighbors and me
Life was such a rollercoaster
Gone are the days….
When I would come from school
Run down to play Cricket, Badminton, Football…
And other outdoors games
Without much thought about the future
But these days are nevertheless
As good as the good old days
Having the satisfaction of days well lived
Treasuring them in a corner of my heart
And still trying to live with that same zest
Interests have changed
Poetry, Photography, Travel….
But the child in me
Tries to come out every now and then
Seeing him in my nephew
Who I play with….
Just like a toddler,
Effervescence spilling out
Such is life…
Roles change; but life goes on.
