Keep writing such touching poems. All d best for more poems .Everyone must be experiencing something like this in his life.Good one

[@ranjanasharma3558]

I think it resonates with 90% of human beings.....story of every other person....we want to become someone else but end up becoming something other than that....man proposes,God disposes!
Beautifully written and wonderfully narrated 👏👏👏👏👏

[@shrikrishnabhave5083]

The paradox of life - intent & the way things pan out differently, brought out brilliantly ! "A tree cut his fall" - Quite poignant !

[@sujatanandi7397]

It's Beautiful... Poignant and Thought-provoking... Knowing Dinesh Raheja's love for Poetry, this comes straight from his heart.. Looking forward to many such poems from him💜

beautiful... Lets not be defined by one phase/story, Let life be book full of short stories 💕🥂

[@gajra.kottary]

It’s fabulous. Such a serious issue of life, but told in such charmingly light hearted way. Congratulations💐💐💐

[@chandrikamaiya7177]

Too good.

This hits hard Dinesh Sir 🙏 Amazing ! The irony...the contradictions that life dishes out to us .. One may dream passionately...but then time has it's own Story to write and tell ...! Beyond the realms of our power and imagination...Destiny smiles ! I love the way the poem ends ...Yes it's very important to come to terms with how one's life shapes up ultimately...and with the chin up ! 👍

thank you

[@drankurgupta6310]

Bravo Dinesh sir..How just under a minute you painted the picture of dear life with all its contradictions, twists and turns..
The last two lines of your poem reminded me of my couplet
समझता है तो फिर सम्भलता क्यूँ नहीं
उड़ने में ख़तरा है तो चलता क्यूँ नहीं
मर्ज़ी की राह नहीं तो राह की मर्ज़ी सही
मंज़िलें कई हैं घर से निकलता क्यूँ नहीं

[@rockwithdr4638]

मर्ज़ी की राह नहीं तो राह की मर्ज़ी सही
मंज़िलें कई हैं घर से निकलता क्यूँ नहीं
your beautiful couplet, Ankur in turn reminds me of another short poem written by me. Sharing shortly.

[@avromukerji9032]

Just aaw this, liked it. Life is a paradox it seems 😀👍

[@vintananda]

Beautiful one. Nice to see great poetry here!

[@virginiavacha9372]

First ofcall you chose the appropriate narrator - only Denzil could have expressed these emotions rightly... Secondly, it made me think of a saying I love: i don't want to be better than anyone else - i just want to be the best i can. Dinesh my friend, you nailed it 👍

[@a.k.talwar9695]

nice one

English poems are fine however I feel we resonate more with Urdu Shayari's. They touch our souls

[@rockwithdr4638]

The emotions should resonate, But yes, Urdu sounds very good to the ears

[@rajeevlala8794]

Nice 👍
