Got Lost and Forgot When Sunset Happened

Determined and fully equipped
To take the best sunset shot
Went to Beach however
Got lost and forgot when sunset happened

Stepped out on pure white beach gingerly
Serene, Soft, Pristine, Pure & Clean
Brand new sandle went in
Feeling like walking on sponge cake
Got lost and forgot when sunset happened

Teenage students from Kolhapur
Went berserk on beach and tide
Teachers organized them into groups
Sand castle competition to make
Absorbed in their activity, enthusiasm and energy
Got lost and forgot when sunset happened

Three kids under three years age
Frolicking and dancing in high tide waves making Masti
Deaf to shouts of Mother to come out
Watching their joy and innocence
Got lost and forgot when sunset happened

Got lost and forgot when sunset happened
Still went home happy with joy to return tomorrow!

Dreams for Tomorrow

2 x 2 Laal Dabba Bus
Sparsly populated. Many vacant seats
Started trundling towards destination

At next College bus stop
Many teenagers hopped in
And suddenly it became crowded

Both got seats but isle seats, separated
She, waiting leaped at first chance
To occupy Window seat next to him, face breeze and share music

You may guess easily what happened next, don't smile like that
She was so bold and strangely charming
He was much shy but very much interested!

Then came fuel stop at Shrungar Tali,
What a beautiful name
Means either romantic lakes? Base for romance?

Suddenly, her mobile rang
Response: Yes Mummy! Yes Mummy! Reaching in 10 minutes
This changed everything!

Took out her daily scarf and covered her face totally
Huge dark glasses covered her eyes completely
As usual detached herself from Him

He understood situation, packed his bag. Checked everything
Disappointed watched silently as she got down and walked towards home with her friends
He stood there.....watching her....with Dreams for Tomorrow!!!
