He looks at him
He is just walking down
Little grumpy
It is part of his routine but...
He likes it but he doesn't like it either
He is holding his dad's hand
Bunch of books and his homework
Packed with his Tiffin back in the backpack
A laptop, contract papers and graphs
Packed with some CDs and cables in his backpack
Dressed in creaseless Van Heusen and
Cobalt blue trousers n woodland shoes
Not to forget sort after Tie
He looks at him
He wonders
How different would it be exchange the backpack with him
Walk tall n walk smart
Power shoes, power tie, power steering
No homework no exams
He glances
At the tiny hands holding on the lolly pop
Takes a drag
N the smoke carves out image of himself
Walking down to school.
No meetings, no obligations
Insane excuses and incomplete homework
Back bench and muddy football grounds
School picnics and that pretty face
Dragging his feet behind Papa's
He wonders how would he go
That mile from lolly to camel filters
He doesn't understands it is bad
Does he understand either?
He looks at the lolly n wonders
Perhaps he has walked that mile
Long back
Passed by never to come back
Wonders if he could ever suck onto lolly.
Be carefree.
He is amused
He is nostalgic
He smiles, so does he
He looks at him
They cross path
