In
sync with the tune of the harmonium,
as he rotates and leans down
only to turn up and face us
to give his famous pose which
will stay in our memory forever
(and am speaking for the posterity
too here), the man defined charisma
and screen presence which will
be tried by the countless SS
of his tomorrow, only to prove
no one can match his celerity
and grace. It was the period
of the Man for all he needed
to do was to treat us with his
innocent angelic smile, a smile
which spreads radiance throughout
by swallowing the darkness similar
to the rising sun. It didn’t
matter how much of coy it represented.
All that mattered was “when
he ordered and if it happens,
the poor won’t feel sorrow”.
The Man of adages, it was befitting
that he was affectionately called
the Revolutionary Leader. He
promised “the future will
come, my duty will come, I will
admonish the evil and take to
the new path of freedom”
just like how he whipped the
villains. And the future did
come, and he did get his duty.
Hands folded to the back, with
an askew look filled with smile
and the right leg forward ready
to plunge, he took the right
step forward and took charge
of his duty. It was the period
of G for it made him a Je (that
is how we respectfully call
a person). Like he promised,
he made the poor smile (even
though with short shelf life)
and the rich smile (for they
got “the paper cover”)
and he kept on garnering people
around him without even trying
any out of the way deeds, for
he didn’t kick the people
on their stomach, thus prevented
them from kicking the bucket.
But the period had to end. There
maybe a black mark in the period
but it wasn’t that, that
put a full stop in black. It
was the twin dot in him that
failed making him into a lifeless
dot. But a lifeless dot could
be a seed too; which once thought
to be one in thousand became
one in crores
