Indian Parents

Rating: 3.1


Indian Parent
(Rema Prasanna)


From a distance
we feel you grow
not so near not so far
isolating world in one orbit
in a strange modulation
a sense of difference arise

From a distance
we watch you grow
on our over-shielded love
we know for certain
on one definite path
you leave us and go
to rekindle your life

Age a facet
move in wind speed
one forward fusion
without reverse gear
hidden curves, aches and
endless deals to assort

From a distance
we experience you grow
on our reserves
on our dreams
on our aspirations

When you grow farther
escalating your chances
remember to
leave a dab of shine
to repaint our life

touching composition, on a very relevant theme in present times. do you think Indian parents to some extent cripple their children by giving them everything on a platter. yes, ageing parents wistfully hope...10

A touching write... A typical Indian parent is all of these, and more :) All from a distance, these days, when the fledgling has flown the nest, unwilling to let go, and having drained oneself of all within oneself and without, the plea at the end was indeed a painful one. Really good read, this one!
