They were young, educated and
Both lived in a time when a rush of love
Was plainly impossible!
How did they meet and why
Those lovers so innocent and timid!
Regarded themselves as too classy
To believe in destiny!
Remained a paradox:
So momentous!
A meeting accidental:
So dependent!
On a hundred minor sentiments:
(My salute to IAN McEwan to show me what a secret love is!)

Nice appreciation on Ian McEwan, Mousumi...love had been an affair a feelig that was cherished secretly between hearts those days...such a rush, accidental yet secret, is possible these days too! thanks for sharing your excitements...10
