Tik! Tik! Tik!

Power went off and there is a drastic change.

Characters on TV disappear,

"Black" only "Black" - A colour I see, wondering, is this real ?

My mind would challenge. 

When my handheld drains,

I feel now, its a revenge

Experiencing heat in winter was a little strange

It seriously tests my patience in exchange.

Before power resumes and it gets normal,

Leaving an impression of an inevitable "Change"

Atleast there was some certainty behind uncertainty,

Power will resume, may be late, but there is surety.

Unlike life where things / events are unexpected,

Will I return home from work ?

Who takes responsibility ?

When Babu Nalawade left early morning,

To play "Cricket" a game defining his personality

Being hail and hearty at 47 without any abnormality

Waiting at non-striker's end,

Collapsed, not to wake up again

Redefining the concept of "Uncertainty"

How can a life end like this ?

How can anyone justify ?

Last moment approaching as if giving a high five.

"Tomorrow" seems to be unreal,

Infact even "Today" is trying to clarify,

"I am not sure to be with you the whole day,

Better be aware and be  ready to wind up anytime,

Do not let your mental possessions magnify"

Tik! Tik! Tik!, the time is passing by,

If at all, your "today" is your yesterday's "tomorrow"

Thank God you are not amongst a quarter million,

Who slept and never witnessed their "Tomorrow"

Even a microsecond they could not borrow,

when time arrived making all logics swallow

Celebrate your every breath but be ready.

Unlike other life uncertaintainties, this one lasts forever.

Do your job and take a backseat as a passenger,

Remember your destiny is written by that Driver.
