the reluctant kind

when i reach the extreme
when i see there is no road ahead
when i feel weak and small
when i can only smile
i know it is time to let go
there has been nothing like
there will be nothing like

the world behind my closed eyes
is different is surreal
is something i have concealed
is something i have feared to explore
is this something i have to live with
i don’t know so far
the reluctant life

the nightmare has been old
i have lived it in ignorance for all
time and again it surfaces
let me defy the consequence
to live a life for the kin
to explore the extreme
to see the road ahead
to be strong and big
to laugh at challenges
i don’t know so far
the reluctant kind

Even in his youth, he demonstrated a startling awareness of social inequities, especially caste-based discrimination. He was disturbed by the humiliation of noble souls like Vidura, Ekalavya, and Karna, men of extraordinary merit who were sidelined due to their lineage. Suyodhana’s decisi...
