2nd Page from Diary








I remember, in 1972 , my sister was married

And leaving for London, England

We were happy because of her wedding

But more than that, she was going to England

At that time back home, people could not imagine North America

Just like people of West,  at that time

Could think of going only to Moon

Not to Mars





My sister came back after a year

She wanted to stay and didn't want to

Go back to London

She was feeling very lonely and

Didn't enjoy the glitter of Europe

But when she stayed for a while and was

facing  power shut down

No safe drinking water

Flies and Mosquitoes

On top






She became miserable, with her 4 month

Little daughter, she knew

She had to get bored in London still

She left for England , leaving us behind

In complete astonishment and confusion

That was the first time we ever knew

That anybody could get bored and lonely

In the glittering Europe







It was just as, when Neil Armstrong

Landed on Moon and found that

Moon was not a fairyland

But a land of caves and clefs

Everyone was stunned, before that

Moon was considered as a symbol of beauty.
