Captain
A captain reminds us of that guide who shields us from the violent storm and the twirling water. A night when none but only he can overpower the fuming intensity of nature. Such is the word captain which is being trapped and tossed between a conventional frame of defined importance. I desire for a captain in my life. But not the one who will escort me through the crowd…not the one who will be judgemental about my priorities...or assess my accomplishments. I want him to sit beside me...and narrate about the untold stories of past, about the concrete streets which had sheltered romance, about the birth of old bridges who years after years stand in solitude and overlook our city, about the lanes who saw the fresh smokes blending high up with the air, the street lights who refuse to fade away even at dawn...the commotion which has sickened the city into a corporate realm….. Over a cup of coffee. I want my captain to assure me that I am fine...
