Abhijit Naskar's Blog - Posts Tagged "regret"

As a teenager I only had one dream – immortality,
not fame, not wealth, but immortality.
I wanted to live on long after my body had perished,
and with sheer conviction I made it a reality.

Tomorrow if I fall asleep, I shall sleep contented,
for my mission will live on galvanizing brave veins.
My only regret is, I never got to raise a family,
it’s the bittersweet price a reformer has to pay.

Abi the person had to be sacrificed,
for Naskar the dream to become a reality.
Anyone who says, they have no regrets,
never dared to live up to their full capacity.

I offered up my youth to lift up the world,
even got dumped, while lost in world building.
My genes might die with me, not my dream –
One day, not long now, whole world will be kin.
