Still Searching

Going double on a friend's cycle
Papa said that driving car is real happiness.
On my morning commutes, I'm still searching

Dancing on a passing baraat
Bhaiyya said partying in a club is real happiness.
On friday nights, I'm still searching

Sleeping in naani's courtyard in summers
Mama said a high rise apartment is real happiness.
On my 2x2 balcony, I'm still searching

Gulping sukha puri at a corner thela
Bua said eating at a five star is real happiness.
On every occasion, I'm still searching

Now the friend and his cycle is gone
No baraats on the roads anymore
Naani and naani's courtyard both gone
The corner thela is replaced by a mall

And I'm still searching

Still searching for the happiness
that was promised to me
when I was happy
