My Dearest Friend

Author: Kamal Acharyya | Posted on: 1st, Feb, 2025

I have many friends, some near, some far,
many close, beloved, dear ones, well-known…
amongst them all, there is one, dearest of all!

He came to my life at the most appropriate time,
when after retirement from professional life,
i was feeling a bit lonely and alone!

I also started maturing with his growing up,
seeing life in a new perspective all together,
by connecting myself with his cry and laughter!

He gave me back my childhood,
made me lively and joyful,
showed me how life is so beautiful!

I enjoyed playing with him all the time,
didn’t mind losing intentionally any time,
as his happiness is more important than mine!

I enjoy spending time with him,
i could leave everything else behind,
for his happiness, the only concern of mine!

I am blessed and fortunate, he came in my life,
now he is the dearest one amongst all,
doesn’t matter if i get anything else or not!

Want to know, who is he?
he is my grandson, Babula,
my dearest friend!!

  2. Simplicity in words, honesty in expression, humility in approach _ that’s what Kamal stands for.
