M for Mundane

M for Mundane

Love isn't found when both of us play with snowballs in picturesque locations,

It is found when we halt for a shared plate of bhel puri while we saunter, hands held, 

Clad in both of our office bags, on footpath amidst the bustling traffic.


Love isn't necessarily packed in those costly diamond ring dabbas,

It is found when we nitpick items to discard in a shopping mart,

So that we don't eat away our budget,

Clad in our pajamas, pitied by the billing counters.


Love isn't necessarily found in those musical proposals,

It is found when our work shows us its music,

And we cue each other when we can no longer dance to its tunes,

Clad in our mundane WTF clothes at work or our WFH clothes at home.


Love isn't necessarily found in those cabin seats in luxury cruises where the world never ends,

It is found when we wake up in the morning,

And check for each other's presence on our bed side,

To let each other know that we aren't alone and our world hasn't ended.


Our lives are mundane enough to steal quick smiles and moments within the monotony,

Our lives are mundane enough to cling on to each other , find solace in each other's shoulders,

Like the wise men from yesteryears said,

It isn't about the destination, it is about the journey.
