To think of working in foreign land is crime...

Imagine you are a qualified and experienced professional accompanying your spouse in a foreign land. Soon after you enjoyed the 'completely-free-time' and prolonged one-on-one with yourself, you think of working. You head to the local government / labor office to find out the avenues. But the fate has planned something else for you - you are not allowed to work because there are local citizens who are the victims of recession and you are in queue after them :)

Few lines that came in my mind, are expressed in the form of Hindi poetry :

| तथ्य |

मेरे इर्द - गिर्द

फैले तथ्य

निर्दयता से

मेरी बर्बादी का

जाल बुन रहें हैं

मूक दर्शक

बना बैठा है मेरे

अन्दर का सच , अपने

मृत्यु के इंतजार में !
