As I ride through the busy streets of my city,
Hoardings and banners are all my gaze catch on.
At every hook and corner
On tree tops, on buildings, at bus stops.
Have you particularly noticed the Home Ad ones?
Every Home Ad has a radiant display of a happy family.
Laughing, smiling, playing with their kids, looking lovingly at each other.
Apparently, these brick walls are a source of bliss
Well, Real families are messy and acrimonious.
with scenes of howling at each other, running behind kids,
sulking alone in a room, giving each other the silent treatment.
These beautifully stacked flats do not create happy families
Neither do the chairs, the sofa the beautiful décor
It is the peace and quiet in every person’s mind
The calmness after the storms they handle at their workplace
The contentment that they do not have heaps of loans to pay off
Home is where your chaotic mind can unravel as it likes
And unleash your true mad self and be your ugly self,
After a mundane display of poise and smiles.
