A Poem by Nikhlaish

By Nikhlaish Kumar Bhat


Here I am sitting in my office at night,
Thinking hard about life .
How it changed from happy college life,
to a dull professional life?

How small pocket money changed,
into huge monthly pay checks.
But then why does it give us less happiness?

How a few local denim brands,
transformed into international ones,
but then why are there,
less people wearing them?

How a small plate of samosa changed,
into a whole Pizza or burger.
But then why there is,
less hunger and no satiation?

Here I am sitting in my office at night,
Thinking hard about life
How it changed...

How a bike always in reserve,
changed to a bike with a full tank
but then why are there less places to go to?

How tiny neighbourhood coffee shops,
changed into huge cafe coffee days,
but then why do they feel,
so impersonal and distant?

How limited prepaid cards,
changed to unlimited post paid ones,
but then why are there,
less occasions and people to call?

Here I am sitting in my office at night,
Thinking hard about life
How it changed...

How a general-class train journey,
changed into an aerial one,
But then why are there,
less vacations and more business travels?

How an old assembled desktop,
changed into new branded laptop,
but then why is here less time to switch it on?

How a close group of friends,
changed to office mates,
but then why can't we relate with them,
And after 8'o Clock,
it always feel like its getting late?

Here I am sitting in my office at night,
Thinking hard about life
How it changed?
