Hey!
I saw this post on instagram. You know how one liners are trending these days? It was one of the post that said “Tell her she is beautiful before someone else does”. And I pictured you. But why did I picture you of all people? I have told you you are beautiful. I have told the same to a couple of girls before you, in the same sense. Why then, you came out to be the one whom I imagined absent mindedly and not them?

Late Dr. Avul Pakir Jainlubdeen Abdul Kalam
Sir, May I take the privilege to call you professor? I myself don’t know myself why do I direct this letter to you Professor; neither do I know why I had the urge to call you ‘Professor’. The reason for the former may be because I don’t know if there’s a messenger with you who has told you that the country you loved, cherished, for whom you had a vision, whose future you wanted to be a very bright and inspiring one, has failed you. As for the latter, I believe that I call you professor because there hardly are left any good teachers left in the education system, more, in my university, whose foundation stone was laid none other than yourself. I can see your name as I walk past the stone which engraves your name at the entrance of the academic block of the university. India's democracy has never been so weak. The three pillars of democracy have fallen down. Will the Constitution hold up? Would the Pradhan Sevak be able to save the integrity of the Constitution of India? Would the President of India, the stamp man, be the shining star who would save the beautiful constellation? Would the Chief Justice of India listen to his colleagues and adhere to the principles of natural justice?
To the one wrapped around me,
I can't count the nights and the days we have shared together. The number of times you were wrapped around me as I slept on my bed. When I was sick, when I was depressed, when I was unwilling to cry yet the pillow was wet, the 15 months of moving on period from a love of 59 months. To the distant moon,
I've forever been your admirer. Maybe you didn't know. I've been fascinated by you more than I've been fascinated by her. Wonder why people use you as a metaphor for love, broken love at that. I would be lying if I say, I haven't done the same thing. |
