Days

 Bring back those days

of old Indian music and indian films 

where we sat poor and hunched at the mercy

of the houses that would host us while we watched

 Bollywood movies

where we would walk for miles

and our smiles were easy

unbothered about the future and lived in the moments

Bring back those days when we were not cautious 

of words being twisted and eyes being hostile

and we would run for miles because we could 

and we never bothered about being loved  or unloved

about aging and failing

of wealth and demands

Those days when we were truly happy and free
