World from black n white era has moved to a digital one Just a finger on the button and the job is over and done Now memories are digitalised and selfies are a craze Photographs so painstakingly clicked are no more a rage Stood in melancholy reliving bitter sweet memories of days gone by Structured in frames were cherished moments freezed as life passes by !
Photographs of Parents ,grandparents, kids ,friends galore Each one had in its frame life captured and tales of yore A euphoric mystery that surrounded those photographs were visible A Larger than life persona were captured in minuscule. From positioning to fixing up light to the final click A delightful squeak that erupts developing as contours pick .
The photograph made its way to the most prominent place Glorifying every smile, teardrop ,agony, warmth with unmatched grace. Adorning my wall of fame was a faded photograph of the last day of school A pair of dark twinkling eyes ,two piggy tails that held unruly curls In our school uniform one last time we stood ..eyes wet Then light flashed -smilingly,holding hands we posed for a picture perfect !
The school girl now with silver streaks,hiding tears adjusts her specs as she laughs And sheds fifty years of her life as she spots herself in that photograph! Copyright@Bhargavi Ravindra
