Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


It contained infinite lines of embossed literature; printed with blackest ink one could find, 


It contained innumerable adages highlighting real life situations; a jugglery of frivolous cartoons, 


It contained a brief report portraying prevalent weather; an accurate analysis of the total rain, 


It contained a column incorporating the price of gold and silver; the erratic fluctuations of the stock market, 


It contained a page for entertainment; indicating the latest releases on silver screen as well as the alluring serials to be telecast on television, 


It contained an enthusing section on sports; the current positions of teams battling it out sedulously around the globe, 


It contained critical issues on the world of pragmatic politics; a daily update on the leaders who sculptured the nation, 


It contained items about wide spread burglaries; a discerning insight into the lives of the crime lords, 


It contained bountiful sections on fashion and glamour; blatantly revealing the most contemporary trends in the nation, 


It contained elements of medical science; the astronomical advancements in the field of intricate surgery, 


It contained condensed biographies of living legends; the revered historians who left an accentuated mark in this world, 


It contained an amalgamated space for ludicrous jokes; instilling loads of levity in the atmosphere, 


It contained battalion of advertisements; with newly opened companies endeavoring to lire as big a market as they possibly could, 


It contained a rectangular space for sacrosanct quotes; a conglomerate of sagacious axioms from the holy bible, 


It contained flash reports about outbursts of sporadic violence in city; cautioning all concerned to stay confined to their homes, 


It contained indispensable information about the intensely afflicted; trying to propagate the message of ecumenical brotherhood and peace, 


It contained animated pictures of wild animals; a sneak into the mystical life encompassing the dense jungles, 


It contained a bulk of segments exhibiting local news; the rise and fall of luminaries in the town, 


It contained all those things which were inevitable to know; in order to prudently survive in this world, 


And I preferred reading it rather than watching the commercial news; as my newspaper emanated delectably crisp noises as I browsed; also I could even


scrutinize it any time of the day if I so desired.
