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.
very true, keep on sharing ,I really enjoy reading them.
