When they scrub your fingers
with anti bacterial, alcoholic
hand sanitizer
and press your fingers
on a lit up screen from below,
when you - like that machine -
look and flash a smile at the foreign camera
and walk away with an air
of feigned confidence
dithering inside about the uncertainty
when you know inside that THAT name
on your visa
that stamp from YOUR embassy
that signature from YOU in confirmation
that need to be believed
to be trusted
certified
marked
responded to -
- that's when you know why
Your nation exists
beyond shadow lines
beyond denial.
That's when you know how
you exist as an Indian
over and above anything and any politics.
I have experienced the same multiple times now and I must say that yes you are right, unfortunately nations do exist.. and leave us divided. But when you go a little further and see in people's eyes, talk with them, laugh and play together then you realize that divided borders cannot take away humanity from humans.
ReplyDeleteWhy ❓ is this hate spreading in politics if everyone wants to do something or the people of india then why they are fighting? Why the cannot come together and do a politics which will create our nation a very thoughtful and reasonable place instead of a place of chaos.
