i dont speak English

It was for the first time when Deep came to the city for his higher studies,

Deep ! a village boy! With higher dreams, with higher hopes,

Looked upon the city as the key to achieve his goals.

According to his plan things were going on,

Till the time he entered the college for the first day all alone,

Hindu college, being one of the leading college of DU,

With determination all he was focused was to make his dreams come true.

But the very first thing he noticed was the language spoken by the people,

All he came to know was English was the only way to mingle.

Deep did all his studies in Hindi medium, all he knew was to speak hindhi,

Understanding English was enough he supposed,

Soon he realised he was wrong just to suppose,

Full of knowledge he was,

But none noticed or pause,

All looked for English speaking friends,

Forgetting about the fact that only words can’t be uttered without knowledge,

10 years passed….

Gone are the college days gone are the struggling phase,

Its time for a reunion, a time to meet, a time to retreat, a time to discover new opinion.

And there comes Deep, he is no longer Deep,

He is now IAS Deep and English was his only pitch.

People wondered is this the same Deep whom we ditched.

A time was there when Deep was rejected, now is the time when by everyone he was selected.

During his speech the only line which toughed everyone’s heart was,

Insan ko bhasha se nahi karam se pehchana jata h.

( A person should be known through his values not through his language,)
