‘KNOTS’ AND ‘CROSSES’

‘KNOTS’ AND ‘CROSSES’
The clock is ticking, so Jim goes through the planned work list…
Day begin to Day end, no climax no twist…
Making a mental note of the sequence of tasks..
“You had food”, the only question his family asks…
Utterly tired yet relieved, he finishes his meal…
And next day, God knows how, he brings in the same zeal,
Repeats the cycle again…
While outperforming the herd around…
Sometimes a capability,
Sometimes a ‘flaw’ newly found…
With Life, on the other side, he plays KNOTS AND CROSSES…
Sometimes he shines as an outstanding winner,
Sometimes adding one more to his losses..
Trying to grasp fast…
Trying to perform faster…
He still steals out 10 fantasy minutes anyway…
Every time planning to revive his college interests some day…
BUT THE CLOCK IS TICKING…
Money MATTERS and hence matters of money confine him to his cabin again…
But still he swims through monotony with a smile…
Keys swirling in one finger and the other hand going though a thick file…
Believe me, it’s hard being just an average earner…
It’s hard even after falling, to be a consistent learner…
In game after game, he begins again…
Rarely does he take an unconventional lane..
Sometimes a ‘cross’ of life ends his battles of ‘knots’
Still he doesn’t give up playing his shots…
May be the Jim, we are talking about isn’t a scientist, an industrialist or a ‘Mr. out of the crowd…
But what he is,  makes him No less proud…
YES…average is inn…
Because Never Was It Out…
So If you or me are one of these ‘just on the line’
Even scotch over years turns out better than wine…
Someday we will make our row of KNOTS…
That’s how from this venture of life, we will discover our snapshots…
SOMEDAY SOMEHOW ,WE WILL….
