Puneet’s
School Days
Puneet
as a child
Puneet, where have your mind gone?
Not concentrated on your studies.
I’m sure, it’s been diverted towards
cricket.
Do you want me to fetch a stick to
chide you?
Mummy used to scold you, when you were
-not doing homework during your
childhood.
I know, you never learnt anything
bye-heart
-but yours was only self-study.
On seeing your liking in sports,
Your dad used to say for fun,
“If you don’t like to read
I will put a shop for you in the yard,
You can sell things”.
Your Mom didn’t wish to listen
-
such words even for fun.
Can you remember
-how your Mom used to
encourage you?
“Children have
individual- differences.
Don’t
compare.
He will shine one or
the other day.
Don’t worry”.
These were her
inspiring words to you.
Could you remember?

How tall have you grown my son?
More than six feet-
Both physically and intellectually,
Like a fruit hid behind leaves
-without
the knowledge of others
-like self-awareness is your teacher
Have you stepped yourself
in the path of your own progress, my child?
You have become
progressive
-while
studying B. E.
So
many shields you have won
-in the inter-college
sports competitions.
Those shields are
still twinkling and
-glimmering in the
show-case at home. You
were selected to a mighty company
-While studying in 5th
Sem only.
Took up the job, after
the completion of B. E.
Not only worked in the
metropolitan cities
-like Bangalore and
Pune.
But also far- overseas
in abroad in Ankara
You are working, living
alone,
-leaving behind all
your kith and kins.
I am really proud of
you,my son.
Being the beloved son
of your father,
You told that mother
is the most –
-powerful woman in
your life.
You are such a gifted
one.
I am blessed to have
you as my son. Let
the perfume of your personality
-spread
far and wide
Let you be a brave
son, come back
-moving around the world.
