Ageing..

You are a small baby of not more than a year,
All your daily chores are taken care of by your mum,
You live life without caring a damn about anyone and wanna continue like a king,
But, you do grow up!

You become a primary school student,
Home work is not your work, but your mom’s headache,
Chocolates and icy delights is all you want to have,
But, you do grow up!

You go higher up to become a secondary school chap,
Studies start becoming a worry coz envying the smarter kids is all that your parents teach you to do,
However, games and friends mean the whole world to you,
But, you do grow up!

You are done with your matriculation to get the lovely “collegian” tag,
Horrifying words like “career” and “success “ revolve around to frighten you,
The sweet smile of your classroom chic and bunking classes to roam around are enough to keep you happy,
But, you do grow up!

Done with college, you consider yourself a “scholastic graduate”,
You somehow land up with a job that makes you feel sick after some time,
However, a bachelor freaking out on weekends late until night seems rocking,
But, you do grow up!

You find the hair on your head getting sparse by the day,
Sitting on your office chair for hours makes your tummy bulge gradually,
Parents force you to get married,
Some get happy at this thought while it lets the others down,
But, you do grow up!

Life plunges into a circle of work and family,
Work at the workplace, responsibilities at home,
However the company of your life-mate keeps you moving,
But, you do grow up!

Children, you pamper, will make your smooth life…. hamper,
Ailments will take you for granted,
People, environment, your looks and your health will all make you realize
THAT YOU HAVE GROWN UP!!!!


Growing up,
Haresh.
