Sridhar was too good and pious
Sekhar was his best friend so close
Both were classmates in a big school
From class to class friendship grew well
They now moved on to school-final
Hoping their friendship be genial
But time alone can mirror truth
It revealed one friend not so worth
A seed of envy came in sown
Sekhar fell into that bad zone
Envious of Sridhar's good fame
Plotted to spoil his growth and name
When final exams were to start
Sekhar availed his chance to swat
Found the valuation centres
Where would go their answer papers
Readied by bribing the teachers
To lower the marks of Sridhar
Sridhar would then easily fail
Would be shamed ere leaving his school
That was Sekhar's plan to do well
But God thought the other way well
Sridhar fell sick suddenly and
Lo, could not his exams attend
Sekhar was however happy
And thought it was a gift peppy
Happily he wrote his exams
Cheered Sridhar for his re-exams
Innocent Sridhar kept praying
To get well back to his writing
God willing soon he was normal
Sridhar prepared his subjects all
The day of test and destiny
Atlast came muchanxiously
In the examination hall
Now was the time to answer all
Sridhar started straight to write fast
Focussed much finished all steadfast
Freed now he looked around the hall
God! shocked to see Sekhar mid all
Guess what could have happened at all
God anyway answered two calls
Slammed a bad call, blessed a good call

Taste of own medicine is far bitter than the bitterness itself. Jealousy, envy, enmity is inbuilt default character of every human being, one should learn how to overcome it and be positive all the time, no one is perfect in this world. Instead of nurturing negative qualities better shred it off by generosity, big heart, meditation and self content. A thought provoking poem with sublime story....Loved it 10/10

I would like to translate this poem
A good story and a lesson so well narrated through this poem. Jealousy is a terrible emotion. But unfortunately, it exists. God makes a proper judgement. The good and the righteous always wins, even if it takes a while. Thank you Indira Ma'm for such a nice story.........10.
