Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


What made you ever think; that you could exult in the exotic night; without


slogging it out under the sweltering sun of the afternoon? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could leap to the summit of Everest, without even being able to crawl on the ground? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could gulp gallons of intoxicating wine, without even tasting colorless water? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could start singing like the magnificent orchestra, when infact you had stupendous difficulty even to talk? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could swim in the choppy sea, without even


knowing how to float in the placid pool of water? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could write infinite lines of literature; without even being able to spell primitive words? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could become the supreme president; without


even being able to execute clerical work? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could break the gargantuan brick with a single punch of yours; when infact you didn't even possess the power to kill an  inconspicuous mosquito? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could fly the huge aircraft; without even


knowing how to balance a tricycle? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could converse articulately for hours on


the trot, when infact you miserably floundered even to utter a single word? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could stand barechested on the freezing


iceberg; when infact you shivered incessantly even in the slightest draught of


wind? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could see behind solid walls; when infact


you didn't even possess the capacity of recognizing magnified objects 


infront of your eyes? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could walk on the tight rope with a mask


camouflaging your face; when infact you couldn't even maintain your balance on


the most strongest of ground? 


What made you ever think; that you could sketch the mesmerizing Mona Lisa; 


when infact you always held the pencil upside down? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could design an incredulous robot; when


infact you mistook every chunk of wood for sparks of electricity? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could emulate the royal prince; when infact


you couldn't even hold the spoon properly in your hands? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could be the Creator; when infact you


didn't even remember your own birth date? 


 


What made you ever think; that you could romance for times immemorial; when


infact you didn't even know the first alphabet of Love? 


 


And what on earth made you ever think; that you could grow old and die tomorrow; when infact you didn't even have the slightest of tenacity; crumbled like a pack of soggy cards every unfurling minute today?
