Here is something I had written long back during my college days. Some lines of it bring me memories of those days, and some I still feel are so true for me. I remember, having come across a line from Tagore's poem which I liked a lot...something like...When was the last time....and I thought of something which is this....
When was the last time you
walked barefoot on moist soil
after showers of rain........
When was the last time you
splashed rain water on the street
not worried about your white
clothes.......
When was the last time you
walked in the rain
not caring about catching
cold..
When was the last time you trekked
up a mountain
just to feel the cool
breeze on your face..
When was the last time you
almost had tears in your eyes
because someone else was
sad..
When was the last time you
felt the rush of adrenaline in your blood,
and wanted to fight for what
you believe in,
and felt you could really
make a difference..
When was the last time you
punched in the air
shouting a big
"YES!!!!" WITH JOY,
just to celebrate the moment
when you’ve finally solved some tricky maths problem..
Or just because you finally
got the thing,
Which the great author of
the book was trying to tell you for hours..
and broke the silence in the
library..
and returned the glances
with a smile..
When was the last time you
wished you had wings to fly
To go and meet someone so
close to your heart but far away from you..
When was the last time you
wished you could write a poem to say what you want to..
