I GUESS it’s not TOO very LATE!!!

To Fix the Gap between my Arrival and the meeting;

I was pissed and Annoyed that I can do nothing.

The Client was at a remote..remote...remotest Village,

With NO Network, the location seemed to be a CAGE!!!

With no Choice left...

For Shelter I entered the old School Gate.

One Step IN! I was in the School Ground...

"Cried my SHOES" for the dust all around.

Was Shouting with pain... My Sweat filled forehead!!!!

Every bit of me.. angrily Revolted!!

When I was disapproving the NOICE of the school bell chime...

The UNKNOWN in me was eyeing the kids, in their lunch-time!

This aesthetic place of sublime, was driving me back to my own time...

It made me THINK!!!

Back about, my Dreams.. my Friends.. my Aims..

Like the sky above the School Ground, they knew no Limits!!

These memories filled me with Joy Limitless!!!

Now, the sound of these kids in action... felt so, so very soothing.

Every bit of it... I was enjoying!!

to SOME ANOTHER WORLD we were entering....

LOUD rang the ALARM... for the Reality, to throw me BACK!

Where in search of happiness I got Stuck!

With my Dreams buried... at my Work-Desk,

my SKY BIG Aims look so very Shrunken; [they are striving hard for better KPIs.]

And washed-out, are all friends in life’s battle!!

I'm feeling so EMPTY...

I'm feeling so very dead!!!

I wish I could rollback all this...... I GUESS it’s not TOO VERY LATE!!!
