When friends get apart, happiness departs

The world seemed to be in a fix,
...

As soon as I was discovered by Sir Edison & then turned ON,
A new era in human civilization was born.

I started my journey as a stupendous being,
...

As soon as the calendar showed the date one,
My heart started to thump with thoughts of someone.

Every month she messaged me upon her arrival,
...

Ensuring everybody woke up on time, was a part of my daily routine.
Till one fine day I was fired as the Mobile Phone made its way into the scene.

While everyone got busy with their new found gadget.
...

The ‘Haldia Local' begins its journey on a strict disciplinary note,
Not accelerating to its capacity in just one stroke.

The train then swiftly approaches the station Bandar,
...

Waiting for you all day long, hoping you would surely come...

Each wave that touches the feet,
I remember you so very sweet.
...

My birth moment brought about a dynamic change in my relatives’ expressions,
The atmosphere got transformed from anticipation to frustration.

My initial expressions matched that of each of my relative in the Hospital’s dorm,
...

The persevering efforts of Wills H. Carrier brought me into this beautiful planet Earth,
Having made to the top ten innovations of the century, I too have highlighted made my presence's worth.

Being born fat & bulky, I was limited to common peoples preaches & fantasies,
...

The journey chugs off with the Engine's iconic whistle,
The train then heavy heartedly leaves behind the platform's hustle & jostle.

The rhythmic sound of tracks & the mesmerizing smell of air serves as a refresher,
...

When all doors of opportunity seem to be closed firmly,
Step back a little but strike again, even more sternly.

When people around you don't seem to respond,
...

A pinch of salt makes delicious food disappear in matter of a wink,

While an extra bit of it makes all of it go down the sink.
...

The newspaper is quite an extraordinary invention,
Giving due updates about sports, politics and nation.

Hundreds of Hawkers sacrifice their sleep with glee,
...

I had feelings of being a sinner,
When the innocent eyes of a cow gaze at me.

I felt that I acted responsibly,
...

Faith is the inspiration behind the first the first steps of a baby,
The trust that Mother will get hold of him if at all he stumbles.
...

I have coexisted with my numerous problems in the cities for years,
Ironically, a catastrophic event got the world to lend their ears.

I was even there perfecting your luxury apartments, leaving just before your housewarming,
...

The almighty made no difference at all,
The same blood flows through one and all.

God is one still varied names,
...
