Five Years


Its that time of the semester when all you see is books around you.
Unruffled pages, unfurl to show you the depth of information one
has to study to create ones carreer. How important are these pages,
how important is the time you give to these pages which make a chapter
and then a book.

Time flies, sounds cliched, but it isn’t. Every now and then one comes across
this phrase, through friends, through books, parents and people who care.

Its your respect to this time that shapes your future.

Future, frightens me. Just the thought of it runs a freezing chill down my
spine. I am 22 now, and have another 4 – 5 years of education remaining
as Graduation holds no credibility in the sub-continent.

Being the only son does have a huge resposibilty especially if you have two
sisters and a business which you can’t fall upon due to the pathetic and
pitiable state of my country Nepal.

My Parents are ageing, and I wouldn’t like to see my father shouldering
the resposibility of taking care of the family five years from now.
Because, It will be my duty to take the burden off his shoulders and
control the reins of the horse.

In five years, I have to have a position in the society, have to be financially
sound to take care of my parents, fulfill all their dreams as they have

sacrificed all their dreams for our future.
Their dreams have been squeezed till the last drop,
last drop for our happiness.

Its time I realized that my future is the coming five years.
Restrict my visions to five years,

It’s gonna be a challenge but challenges are meant to be fought and won.

Jai Nepal
