A Night Ever Nostalgic IN Life Hunts IN Love:
A service life just got alive in me,
Young from Alma Mater as an engineer,
Butterflies in heart, rainbows in a young mind,
A dream enwrapped for career, a rosy future,
No girl ever hunt, predated least a green valley,
Flowers of aspiring heart limitless, fruits of books,
The endless night a lamp, books, digesting knowledge,
Frontier technologies of electronics, telecommunication,
Digital information technology getting dawn,
Melodious songs of Bollywood of the seventies,
Pull out of the hostel to the lonely nights, humming,
Soaked in love for a time so young a mind,
Thrills in a cool breeze, eyes lost nowhere,
heart overwhelmed in a surreal inner joy,
So lonely, solitude intoxicating from thickness,
Thickness as concrete of intricate technology,
Mind blasted a  study table with a sharp hammer,
Hammer of probing mind, intelligence, intuitive,
Awake from the fatigue of a small room to a lake,
Placid, tranquil silver under lights of a night sky,
Passed these days dreamy few times morning broke,
A night came, in life, the service life took root,
A rented house, few belongings, hard day's work,
A cook served dinner, took the bed, a full moon night,
Gentle breeze, bright night sky so alluring whispered,
Got up so late, world asleep, an unreal world, lonely,
Dark homes, empty streets, stray dogs barking,
Walked in the night, never knew why moved aimless,
A young mind swirling thoughts, least understood,
So nostalgic on the nightly prowl my campus near the lake,
Gone the student life, gone these books classes,
Dreams millions of a young heart slowly maturing,
Meticulous planning and outlook, overseas, opportunities,
That night a railway track silvery in full moon night got me...
A cement culvert near the track sat cool numb and alone,
A train passed by me fast tearing the silence of the night,
Lighted windows deem, people, sleeping, fast melt in darkness,
The Silence reigned again, silver night poring cool n gentle breeze,
Sat for an hour or more, felt so lonely, never could know,
Tears flowing warmly unchecked, why to leave own home,
Night train going to an unknown destination, unknown people,
Why I seek to quit my place, why wealth, luxury, an alien land,
Life will end, a career will conclude, life at evening or night,
The night cast the specter of the lonely night, the moon shining,
I thought moon will sink in the horizon, gone its glamor,
The day a new one, the dawn will find no moon, stars got hidden,
New birds swarming, chirping in ecstasy, no known faces,
Why all my richness, name and fame, gone unnoticed a day...
None to shed a tear, none to remember life at a foreign land,
Why not this place, be a small job, kill an aspiring heart,
Be a budding engineer serving own soil for life, so intoxicating,
The people, the known eyes, known smiles, all were taunting,
So surreal, joking at me, why O' engineer crying as a lone wolf,
Come with us pass your life, be like us, sorrows n joyful night time,
Heard I was crying, a track of rail had dews, if its tears, stars too,
No more I found the silver night a lonely, so silent,
Noises deep within returned early dawn,
Still, the moon was a ghost, pale and sad,
Whispered to me, O' spirit, wealth is your happiness,
Happiness perhaps when eyes will be closing, never to open,
Not a lonely departure as this lonely night,
All will be around me, warm tears still were running down,
Lips are drinking, I could never know, so happy n in smiles!!
A Night Ever Nostalgic IN Life Hunts IN Love.
