Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


He who recognizes the fertility of land; by mere caress of the strewn soil, 


Smelling the scent emanating as he tramples the mud; is indeed a true farmer.


 


He who recognizes burglars; by simply looking straight in their eye, 


Intricately reading their jugglery of body movement; complexion of their brutal face; 


is a true policeman.


 


He who comprehends the arrival of a cyclonic storm; by the rise and fall of  


sea waves, 


The turbulent clouds obliterating the stars; gusty draughts of wind blowing; is a true sailor.


 


He who can perceive the entire structure of the grandiloquent  building; without even


constructing it, 


By articulately sketching its labyrinth of outlines; is a true architect.


 


He who can explicitly understand the disease of an individual; without asking him to divulge his lengthy background, 


By innocuously touching his pulse; is a true doctor.


 


He who can confidently proclaim the denomination of a currency note; without seeing a trace of it with the eye, 


By scrupulously feeling its texture; weighing its body; is a true businessman.


 


He who can write voraciously at all times of the day; without a luxurious ambience of rain and tropical forest, 


Tumultuously exercising dormant arenas of his invincible brain; is a true writer.


 


He who can dive head on in the fathomless valley; bereft of a parachute strapped on his back, 


Gleefully gliding down whispering sedately to the floating birds; is a true adventurer.


 


He who can fight the greatest of war without a sword; conquering the mightiest with


prowess of his speech, 


Pacifying the most pugnacious by his benevolent ideas; is a true warrior.


 


He who spreads his entangled net in deep water; going abysmally far inside the sea, 


Encountering acerbic waves and swirling storms; is a true fisherman.


 


He who sends the leather ball whistling past the fence; astronomical distances into the spectator stands; by the silken caress of his bat, 


Running onerously on the field; bolstering the spirit of his team; is a true cricketer.


 


He who recites his dialogues without actually mugging them; speaking with  tremendous empathy in his eyes, 


Blended with loads of charisma in his demeanor; an ingratiating ability to captivate audiences; is a true actor.


 


He who innovates a plethora of incredible formulae; without referring to the rules


and bulky manuscripts, 


Adhering to ingenuous concepts nurtured in his brain; is a true scientist. 


 


He who can sketch mesmerizing shades of nature; synchronized patterns of human beings, 


Without actually getting a chance to confront them; with a mediocre looking pencil; 


is a true artist.


 


He who can detect the problem in an automobile; by simply listening to the whirring of its engine, 


Without peeping into its interior crevices; testing its spark; is a true mechanic.


 


He who can predict our future meticulously without knowing our date of birth; the


exact time we were born, 


By simply glancing at our face; without reading the lines embossed in our palms; is a true astrologer.


 


And he who can understand pain and overwhelming affliction; intense anguish of the bereaved, 


The tyranny of being mutilated; sleepless nights of the destitute without consuming adequate food; helping such people achieve their goals; is a true human GOD.
