“Your profession?,” they ask.
“Dancer!,” they exclaim.
Ha!
And Ha!
They laugh in his face.
How is he supposed
to look after his family
they think aloud
in their head and on their faces,
for passion has no place
in their calculations
only a Bharat Ratna
can save him
from their disappointed stares
as they watch his retreating form
going for his next
successful stage performance.
