  Born to fly…these words seem to be entrenched in your heart. I like the pos­i­tive note at the end of the poem.

  Thanks! I think Jonathan Liv­ingston Seag­ull might have some­thing to do with it. Though I don’t own the book, it had an impact when I’d read it long time back…:-)

  //One hopes
  To elope
  But one is bound
  To one’s ground//
  ’Rahiye ab aisi jagah chal kar jahan koi na ho,
  Hum­sa­far koi na ho aur hum­ja­ban koi na ho’.

  I think this is a very good poem, Mahen­dra. The rhythm, the sounds, the mean­ing are woven together masterfully.

  BTW, I miss you.

  A sweet, rather melan­cholic poem. Did you mean the soul’s pas­sage as you men­tioned ‘born to fly’?
