The Best

May 28

Get the best
get the right stuff
well tested product
and see it perform
the best
but no amount of assurance
guarantee or warranty
ensure what will happen next...

A brand new tube
within a brand new tyre
of a brand new bicycle
running on a road
gets punctured
either due to a sharp nail
or excess pressure as a result
of rise in temperature...

When the punctured tube
gets patched up
the wheel starts moving again
of course with the scar
that may puncture again
with no certainty
that it won't puncture again...

One fused link in the cable
may disrupt the entire current flow
but the best course is to fix it
and let the current flow again
with no certainty
that there won't be
a short circuit again...

Every time it's not possible
to replace with new one
especially when it comes
to an expensive shawl
that gets darned beautifully
not thrown,
or our own house
that develops cracks
but gets repaired
to give a decent look anew
not demolished...

Relationships are also like this
either to grumble with
a fly in the web
or a fly in the ointment
or to just activate wings
to fly high
solo or in the group
with soul in the sky...
