Ironically Bhagat: An atheist by choice!



There's a cousin of mine, 25,
desperate to get a lady, his senior colleague,
eight years elder to him.
Not sure either to marry or just an infatuation;

Lapped up a decent job,
for which he toiled 'day & night';
of which he is quite proud!

Dedicated like anything, towards his career growth;

Willing to sacrifice anything, to watch FIFA matches, 'Live'!

Ready to do anything, to just get even a distant glimpse of Maria(h)s, Sharapova or Carey, any of them!

Celebrates with crackers on every win that India registers, in Cricket!

With his MBA from this top ranking B-School,
With kind of pictures he shares over the social media,
With the kind of 'cool' & 'happening' updates he posts thereat!
With the number of 'Likes' & 'favorites' he receives from his 'online friends'!

With the numbers of followers in three digits he commands!
With the kind of suave tailor-made Suits he sports for his board meetings!
With the kind of cars he has shortlisted to be owned by the year end!
With the kind of 'connections' he has arising out of his Alumni Association...
... and for other numerous reasons, He is considered to be a successful, influential and a sort of an ideal for an average youngster, dreaming of a nice, rewarding career.

& there he was, merely 23 by that time...


When most of his friends were searching for a soulmate,
he was in a desperate search for the purpose of his life,
'A life' to which he gave a 'larger than life' definition;


With his given background and credentials,

he could lead a decent life, with plenty of comforts,
but he chose to choose the path less traveled,

Dedicated he too was, towards the cause of 'the Nation';

Sacrifice he did, with his mortal self;
but the spirit remains, even to this date!!

Childishly impatient he was, to read the 'other revolutionaries'

He too played with bombs, but merely "to make the deaf hear!"

No foreign earned Degrees he had,
No casual socialising could charm him, at all,
Of course, he wrote, so that the younger generation gets to know more, better;

Had more foes than friends, but favorite he became of 'the Nation', Later!

Lesser followers in his lifetime, but many joined in later.

No comforts he knew of,
nor did he desire,

Brandishing, he in deed loved,
Rather his country made pistol!

'Connections' he too had;
and an Association he raised on his own,

... and for numerous inexplicable reasons, he was propagated as to be a 'Terrorist';


Toil, he did, for not a few days & nights,
rather years;

of which, the entire Nation is absolutely proud and indebtted, even today!!

He taught an entire generation to love, their Nation!

To dedicate, their life!

To sacrifice, their everything!

To lead, by example!!

...& make this Life, larger than the life itself!!


Ironically christened as #BhagatSingh!
