This friend in school with
Same kind of mad.
After reading a couple of
Same books and going
High on some philosophical
Quotes.
We tried to delve into the
Mysteries of metaphysical
Paradoxes against the
Volatile dance of our
Teenage hormones.
On the last day of school,
We climbed on the roof
Of sixth class to stay there
Till the orange sun
Disappeared below the
Horizon.
The sense of aestheticism
That got to us then-
We've been chasing it
For over a decade and
Half now.
Not tired of the beauty
Or bonhomie.. The things
We've experienced and
The places we've explored..
Just yesterday when we
Biked hard to catch a
Sunset on the beach
In Manipal..
We missed it because
He wanted to change
To his shorts first.
Can you believe that?
Enraged, Disappointed
I lie on the sand.
He too understands what
We missed.
But that's all right.
Good that we know what
We've missed.
Good that we know
What are we gonna miss
If we don't pursue.
That's what keeps you
Going right?
The curiosity that fuels
Possibilities..
How biking in the Himalayas
Can always start with
A feeble admiration for
Sunsets from above a
Classroom.
