Gossiping
By Manoj J Lekhi
There used to be a time I thought
enjoyment was drinking a glass of wine
There used to be a time I thought
enjoyment was smoking cigarettes
Like this I thought
enjoyment means running after women
enjoyment meant going to the discos
enjoyment is seeing movies
enjoyment is going to social parties
Suddenly everything reversed
The glass of wine became the
glass of truth
The smoking cigarettes became
the deep inilation of fresh prana
Women were there before
Women are there too now
Not out of lust but love
There was dance in the discos
Now too there is a dance
But a dance to the tune of God
Movies were there before
and are still there today
But the movies are there of myself
my inside movies
my casual thoughts
Social parties yet exist
But it is called satsanghs
Before it was gossiping for belittling others
Now it is gossiping for ‘play’
Before it was gossiping about others
Now it is gossiping about myself
