Respected Vikram Sir,

I recently read your poem 'The Frog and the Nightingale' and was touched after reading it. It is indeed a heart rending poem. In a simple way your poem beautifully exposes the bitter truth of life on how genuine talent is exploited by people for their personal gains. The nightingale being a simple but foolish creature, cannot see through the evil and malicious intentions of the frog. She aptly symbolizes the gullible people who become easy targets for greedy people like the frog who have no sense of shame and can to go to any lengths for their personal interests. Such people, like the frog have no feelings of remorse or regret in their heart but feel immensely pleased over the success of their evil motives.

Your poem aptly satirizes the hypocrisy, opportunism and manipulation prevailing in the human society.

Yours sincerely

TIME WORKS WONDERS

By: ABC

One has to keep himself grounded to the stark reality that everything comes to an end gradually by the impact of time.

Time is connected to death and tarnishes human attempt to achieve immortality. Time is not loyal to anyone. People who enjoy great privileges and popularity at one time get lost and forgotten with the passage of time. Time is most precious for each one of us and comes only once and that too it is never static but is slowly moving. Such is the impact of time that everything that has a beginning must come to an end with the passage of time. Time spares no one, irrespective of status and stature. It treats everyone on the same level and no one can escape from its clutches.

Time indeed works wonders. It can give us glory and can also teach us a lesson. So we must never forget that no matter what level of greatness we may achieve, no one can withstand the ravages of time.
