Virtual childhood


Childhood, a memorable period in life
With innocence flowing down like ncectar
Curiosity to know about everything
Comes instinctively from the blood
As each passing day moves into a shade with a wish
That someday I will also grow up like my idol
So strong and so smart
Dreaming to become super heroes
Like in the movies that I saw recently
Well slowly, things are changing
As kids are born beside the gadgets
They become knowledgeable even before they mature
As internet and television takes them
To a world of knowledge
Good and bad
Rather than playing on grass or fields with friends
The general leisure sports
More and more kids are playing alone
In their rooms using computers', mobile phones',playstations'
Nindetos and countless gadgets
Playing themselves as the heroes
Shedding virtual blood with fun
They race on virtual fast cars and bikes
Than on their cycles
Dead toys are getting old fashioned
With electronic gizmos taking their place
Kids now know things, which their parents struggle to learn
They just sneaks into the horizons of forbidden trut
Even before their minds are ready to take it
Some of them wish to try out, to quench curiosity
With virtual strangers lurking out in dark internet highway
To take advantage of straying lambs
It is a vulnerable childhood
With temptations everywhere
When all the heroes do nothing moral or logical
There is a curious case of y-generation asking
Wh ‘y’ we shouldn’t do this and that?!
With no censorships to keep kids away
Every distorted facts looks like truth for them
When parents themselves can’t be role model
Given their troubles their past
Their silence act as manure for growing as rebels
But virtual world also boosts whiz kids
Who just grows beyond their age with their ideas
As database is there for them to get all ingredients
A platform to attain stardom
Now it’s not all about studying schoolbooks
It’s about getting all the knowledge
Beyond the limited walls of schools and libraries
A more tactical generation is coming up
Born and bred through virtual child hood





If i become a....

Just woke up
From the long slumber
Forgetting eves, nights and mornings
I’ve been swimming in ocean of dreams

I was wondering
What shall I become in future?
Ive dreamed myself
To be someone
Who could be a welcome change

If I become a salesman
I will sell dreams
To those who don’t have dreams
I will sell smiles
To those who forgot how to smile
I will sell hope
To those who live in tears of despair

If I become a painter
I will paint a new universe
With all the colors in this earth
I will paint the scened of every story
To take everyone to new worlds
Where movies can’t take them to

If I become a rockstar
I will create bigbang natural music
With the mix all earthly sounds
Zinking words with souls of joy and pain
Expressing the emotions of millions
Echoing all the way up to the space
I will try to spread message of peace and hope
Every time I step in a stage

If I become a designer
I will recreate the old marvels
In magical space age mode
I will design things that others wish
With inspiration from nature
Spreading awareness about the green world
Through alternate source and style

For now
I am nothing
Just a zero walking around
With a heart full of bright dreams
Hoping to make it big
Some day ,some how
