I wept because I had no shoes... till I saw somebody uncomfortable in them.I wept because I had no network...till I saw
people committing virtual suicides.
I cribbed to reach the top... till I saw
it was so lonely there.
I wept when I fell down... till I saw
there were many there.
I missed my past... till I saw
the real gift in the present.

We shud b happy n thankful in wotever we got bcoz God always chose best for us... :)
ReplyDeleteThat was very ingeniously penned piece. We need to innovate even sayings in this fast changing world. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, the first line on shoes was one I have grown up reading, it was written on a sheet of metal and hung on my mom's cupboard.
i had seen the first line with a little difference,
ReplyDeleteI wept and wept i had no shoes, until i saw a man who had no feet.
I am trying to see the connections between network and virtual suicides.
and living in the present, is what i have been hearing and reading lately as the best of times.
thanks Shazia
:) oh welcome Venkhat,
ReplyDeleteThe shoe one was the same I wrote, when I first read it, it didn't make sense to me.. the sense came very gradually.. and gradually is years!!
