Acknowledgement

Broke, lonely. Stuck in
The summer of Delhi.
The fan stops working 
That night.

Mosquitoes invade.
Irritated and sweaty. 
You sleeplessly roll around.
After an hour-

The electricity is back,
The slow soothe of rotating 
Fan makes you realize about 
The companion you were 

Really missing.
Until his absence was 
Felt, you didn't know the 
Importance of his existence.

The next day, you clean 
Him up with a cloth.
Somewhere you knew,
Gratitude is one of the best 

Way of acknowledging 
A friendship.
