Let Go..

I Let go…

I let go of an early morning drive,

To the best dhabha in town,

Just to eat Aaloo Parantha with Chai..

I let go…

Travelling with friends to new places,

Or the late night shows,

While in a training or while working,

Due to fear and my own inhibitions.

I let go…

Of friends who wanted me to be there,

In odd hours and listen to their stories,

Heartbreaks or any other topic under the sun.

I let go..

Of buying anything new and big,

Even though I badly wanted,

By convincing me that it is TOO EXPENSIVE.

Now, at this juncture,

If I could, would go back and tell myself at that time,

Don’t let go of things that you love,

Take necessary precautions and do at least some of it.

No matter what you do and say now,

The time that went by, Will never come again.

As you grow old, you have responsibilities,

There are thousands of things you need to think,

Before you can pack and Gooo!

Even if you can do all such things,

It would never be same again.

And some of the things would appear silly,

Or health won’t support these choices.

So, do what you want to do NOW,

Be what you want to be NOW,

As when time turns on you,

It won’t stop any time soon.

By,

Tulika Jyoti Vardhan.
