In Few Words Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

In Few Words

Rating: 5.0


I was taught to be honest in few words
Don’t look here and there but only forward
Not to claim anything on road even if attractive
Chose not to pick it up and meanwhile remain active

These were the piece of advices from parents
They were sure that as child we pick bad as an inherent
Even matured people are tempted to grab valuables if found on road
We as child may have some anxiety about it while carrying book load

Yet yes some of the basic foundation is laid at the home
Child is encouraged to perform well and always welcome
Some of the drawbacks may be pointed out with affection
They will hide some where and keenly observe our actions

No parents want their children to be called ill mannered
As it will directly affect their up bringing and cornered
They will be put to shame in open or in public functions
So they will be very careful while making fresh introductions

As a child I had trouble in picking these kind observations
Some of the times I thought it to be obstacles for elevations
It was detrimental to the growth and shaping the attitude
But at the same I had full faith in their actions with gratitude

So basic structure was built at home before entering school
You may be little smart at home but in school certainly called fool
All other kids may be coming from different quarters and background
Their may certainly prevail some dissimilarities to be found

As school is considered as the second home for children
The new faces may be finding it difficult to mix even
But as the things start moving on they may have suitable friends
This will carry on for the study period and may even last till end

Some of the advices may directly confront with the behavior
So many other students may be aggressive and act as warrior
They will pick quarrels in the recess when moving in corridor
They will be calmed down when told about their being as ambassador

The teachers inject them with lots of new and innovative ideas
“How the country gained independence and who the last monarch was”?
These all stuff may turned their attention for being the future of nation
The changed mood and their working pattern may definitely give the indication

It is not easy to shape the developing mind of child
They may always want care and address very mild
The pat on back may certainly prevent him from going wild
Yet two sets of teaching may certainly be useful in the field

The upbringing of a child is not that much easy. It depends upon the parentage, environmental influence, the type of education, right company, besides the intiative, talent and behaviour of the child. The poem speaks well of this subject from the beginning to end. Rajaram Ramachandran, Juhu, Mumbai Feb 16,2011 --------------------
