It’s a fine life
Fine crockery, mellowed wine,
Exotic cuisine, not traditional,
Taste extra-ordinary, dimly lit dinning,
Measured talks, classy décor,
Designer clothes, costume jewellery,
Dinning etiquettes, the right bowls, the right spoons,
Clicking sound of the forks and the knives,
Life’s straight out of a dream,
Dinners over, it’s time to head home;
Cars high tech, leather upholstery,
Automatic transmission, 2-DIN systems,
Goes smooth, no bumps, fine driving.
It’s sophistication. It’s the standard.
Can’t lose; just can’t lose to get there,
To arrive, to announce,
That I belong to you, up to the standard.
Afraid to lose, has to carry on,
Doing non-sense stuff, living a life with mask,
14 long hours, stress and tension,
Accountability, hypocrisy,
Life like a prostitute, all for money,
All done for that, a fine life.
It’s the standard.
Has to be done, easy credit,
Home loans, car loans,
Personal loans, loans all types,
Personal finance, it’s a mayhem.
But all for that, a fine life.
It’s the standard.
There’s no escape, caught in a warp,
It’s in a loop,
Loans to pay, finance to manage,
Back to work, back to life,
That life, a fine life,
Must reach the standard.
It’s sophistication. Has to be done.
How did I ever got into this,
This roundabout, this cycle of fine life,
These classy things, etiquettes and measured talks,
A fine house, a fine car, a fine wife,
And all that stuff.
How did I ever got into this?

After all that is done, isnt it a relief to sit with close friends and eat with your hands, put your leg up and drink high on some regular scotch, to not worry about how the home looks or whether the kid is on his/her best behaviour..life does balance ittself out! After a long time this post. Keep writing
Surely...specially if the friends are like Sanjoy and Sujata:-) But I got bored with this idea of a fine life...with real friends its wonderful to be together...but otherwise...i want to just travel to unknown places and eat at the roadside small eatery at unknown places...just want to do all those stuff what you don't do while on a tour with a group! May be like sitting quite, lonely at a beach...or may be standing on a cliff...alone.
