For Reena’s Exploration Challenge, I am reposting a poem I wrote a while ago, but it fits the brief:

The world around us appears how we see it

It’s not the same for everyone that’s true

We all have a different perspective on everything

That is how we look and see the life differently

A happy news may not gladden everyone’s heart

Because each may be expecting things differently

My joy may not be your and your sorrow

May not touch my heart in the same way at all

What is a treasure to me, may look like peanuts to you

Your millions may seem just pittance to someone else

The things that are important to one may not be to some

This life has lots of different faces all are in their own way

Important to one or the other in us but we all only can see

This…

किसी का दिल टूटा
पीछा किसी का छूटा
नज़रिए की बात है ।१।

मिला है नया मीत तुम्हें
तुम मना रहे हो जश्न
अपनी तो मात है ।२।

थे हम भी कभी अज़ीज़
अब तो देखते भी नहीं
बदले हुए हालात हैं ।३।

ढून्ढ रहा हूँ सुकूँ क्यों
क्योंकर आएगी नींद मुझे
तन्हाई की रात है ।४।

क्यों है मायूस अमित
लुटी नहीं कोई मिल्कियत
सस्ते से ज़ज़्बात हैं ।५।

Richard Surelock was a private detective who was very clumsy and he appeared to be a cross between Inspector Clouseau and Mr. Bean.  He tried hard, but because of his bumbling and incompetent antics, he had never solved a case.  He obtained the undesirable reputation of not being able to catch the clap in a whorehouse, but who wants to get that anyways.  Richard or Dick as he liked being called just got a new case from the family of a deceased figure skater Shirley Styles who was apparently headed to the Olympics, before she met her demise.  The death certificate said it was an accident, but the girl’s family wanted Dick to prove it was a homicide, as they suspected foul play.  Dick needed the work, so he took the case with echoing desires of finally doing something productive, which would put a whole new perspective on his career.
