The Dutiful Door Keeper Poem by Rohan Bendre

Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Said to Himselves

'' With The Forts Demanding a Secured Future
Shouldn't I Modify The Rules Such that The Fort's Security I Will Assure.''


Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj made an Anouncement to his Courtiers.

'' With The need Arising for Fort's Security to Witness
After Sunset No one inside the Fort There will be Access.''


The Fort's Watchman was a Young Soldier named Savlya Tandel.

One Day an official of high rank Visited the Fort after Sunset. He Said to the Doorkeeper.

'' My Visit to Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is of Utmost Importance
To Enter the Fort It requires Affirmed Assurance.''

Savlya Tandel said in a humble Voice.

'' Your Visit has surely got a vital Importance
But Allowing entry after sunset will not carry an Affirmative Action
As it is for the Fort's Secured Assumption.''

The Official tried to warn.

'' Once Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Comes to know about Entry's Disaffirmation
in your Post there will be Discontinuation.''

Savlya Tandel Said

'' In Complaining Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj be free to Report
But To Disallow you Entry I Will continue to retort.''


The Official Smiled

'' A Change in your Words will have been your Action's Initialization
When You will come to know about my Real Identity's Realization.''

The High ranked official was Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Himself.

Savlya Tandel was confused. But he didn't changed his action.

'' If Chatrapati Shivaji maharaj happens to be your Identity
Let My Respect be active in the visibility
But Allowing you to enter still fails to be the Possibility
As Change in the Rules can't be even your Capability.''


The Next day Chatrapati Shivaji maharaj said to his Courtiers.

'' Yesterday One Person tried to Disallow my Entrance
In punishing the Official shouldn't there be Affirmed Assurance.''

The Courtiers Started Discussing among themselves. They called Savlya Tandel.

Savlya Tandel was Scared. Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj said to him.

'' Your Dedication and Commitment has been an Impression
But disallowing me Entry calls for a punishment's Initialization.''


Chatrapati Shivaji maharaj Smiled.

'' To Assure Security for Officials like you is Country's Requirement.''

Saying so Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Removed his Bracelet and said

'' I Request you to Accept This Present.''

HAPPY CHATRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ BIRTHDAY TO ALL.
