if you could close your eyes, 

and know that when you open them, 

you'll have no job no car no spouse no children no degree no bank balance

but you'll be walking up the steps to your house 

where you will change from your school uniform,  

drink the bournvita that mom made, 

watch dexter and swat kats until the kids start playing outside, 

then you will join them until you see your dad come home down the path

then you'll go home for homework dinner doordarshan and bed

would you close your eyes ?

would you pray ?
