Wisdom 'Learned'

Always pampered by my grandparents,

was the 5th one in my house(grandparents, parents and me).

Didn't know a thing about anything,

knew only love......of my grandmother.

Knew not a thing like...what to do, when the current in the house, goes off, or how to cook delicious recipes(knew only how to eat them).

In short,

got everything on a silver platter,

even my school homework was mostly done by my parents.

Yes, it was all fun and frolic.

But only today,

have I realized, the importance of what my father used to say.

"Life is not learned just in books".

I thought, "What will be the result in the future if I don't study now...these books...."

I learned,....tried learning.

All of it went in vain, I scored decent enough to get into a college.

But now at 23, I know neither about my books, nor a thing about the 'normal' world.

Perhaps what my father said is the truth,

I know, now, that I want to know- 'anything and everything',

But, Ya, too much Knowledge is harmful for the health, it's said.

Perhaps I had decided a deadline for myself,

after which I wouldn't experiment.

This is 'now' the extreme end,

after which I will not compromise.

My grandfather was 'just' a driver,

because of which my father learned many things way too early than I will ever in my life.

This thought keeps me satisfied...

But I hope and wish and want and will(let's see), to succeed in my father 'knowledgeably'.

I think that is how evolution happens, new inventions and creations take place.

Supporting my parents will be my Ultimate gift and happiness,

Something which I couldn't do for my grandparents.

For this, I have 2 years to learn(again, a deadline).

Although learning is a process in life,

my mother is my support in this process.

Though, I know, I'll never be able to return her worth,

just want to give the best to her.

Some time has gone by,

which will never return.

But there is a future that can be made better.

"Now, know that what important is, and that important things are not always important".

"So, believe yourself and move ahead.

There are many things, need to be conquered, ahead".
