23!

The peep into the vast world,

The toddler gazes with awe and struggles to crawl,

Country claims as the foundation of nation,

Boss treats as an animal to be tamed,

Family gave independence and sets the bird free,

But nothing has changed in the hearts of the childish prankster.

Love becomes true, no longer flirt or lust,

Friendship became few, but grows concrete,

Gossip aunties all around, they have been nation’s pride always,

“Masters, Marriage and promotions, when when when ? ”

Slammed with interrogations, like a filmy star struck in controversy.

Battling to settle in the new universe, no sapiens feel familiar here,

Extended work hours, timelines and deadlines,

There at the corner, boss gives a stern look,

A smile spreads across with nostalgia of college life,

But these are just dreams and reality is else where.

A peep into future, seems like a clueless visionary.

An iron hand, uplifts the falling soul, feeds with zeal,

Motivated and inspired, the journey races ahead,

Nothing seems right or wrong,

Mistakes aren't mistakes unless found,

Shrewd, smart and soft hearted, survives the fittest,

With expectations, desires and dreams, the wheel of life moves on.

23, Its just happening !
