Genuine 1-to-1

by Aarti Sriram
(India)

She and her man dressed up in their cotton ethnic wears
Told the kids to also choose decent attires
They were always told and felt too that you get treated
The same way you dress talk , presented and get evaluated.

There were many guests handsome and esteemed
The host took care of fresh and tasty food served
Hustle bustle with young and old music and chatty
But her eyes searched for some-one in the party.

To talk and smile learn enjoy and cherish
Moments to fill with wisdom that doesn’t perish
Was it so rare and hard to get by few hours
A heart to heart connection genuine minus the powers.

Tulsi knew she had to greet, meet and tweet
And so did others too ,but it was no easy feat
To find just few or just one who you felt close
Could speak your heart, head and feel fresh as rose.

What was the point of such party and splendour
When a true old friend or a good book could fill your calendar
But can we hide and pride in not going to such parties
When even we will have our turn to host few such hi teas.

Few hours spent on our duties and hobbies
Would suffice to heal and pay and no freebies
But we built a world of short talk and long travel
Just for a home family in the name of survival.
