On Fame : The Young India

Kartikey Sehgal

Suppose that a man is unfaithful to his wife but stays on for the sake of their child.
When he is caught cheating, would we say that his action has compromised the future of the child.
Would he be considered inconsiderate to his child.
Does the fault lie in his cheating or in not divorcing his wife before cheating.

Why do you cry, father?

Because I am bound and yet I seek our bondage. I cry because there is dew on green grass. Because birds build nests. Because it shall be morning again. Because I can walk. Because I know not the way out of suffering.

……………………………………

I say, fame is a compromise. It would take a man, who knows to be a man, to be a man with fame, of fame. Else fame takes away liberties.
Fame is a compromise. You are crowned and the society takes away from you.

Society knows fame, what does it know of merit? The uncrowned hut-man pens the poem for the street-smart kid, and the society demands morals from the kid. The hut-man drinks in glory.

……………………………………

When there is nobody, the grass breathes, the trees sway and the wind moves. You are important in the morning.
