When we are born
we are soft and innocent,
like water,
ready to flow anywhere,
ready to mingle with anything,
but as we grow and get
success and recognition,
we get heated
like water,
the volume increases,
we start brimming
with power and confidence,
that turn in some cases
into intoxication
and then into what is called ego...
Being on the burner of ego,
constantly,
we reach the boiling point
like water,
and an illusion of steam
starts engulfing us,
that goes on increasing,
without realising
that with the change of state,
water itself
starts reducing in volume...
It's better to keep a watch
on the temperature,
and to relish the life
at the normal temperature
well below the boiling point...
