A Couple, unique

_{A Couple, unique}

 

_{Hey Pranati and Pramod}

_{emissaries from His abode!}

_{United in heaven, sent to earth}

_{as of the ideal couple there, there was a dearth}

_{to exemplify parental obedience}

_{and to children, their guidance}

_{to exhibit the working couple’s conjugal life}

_{despite hard work in the factory by both husband and wife}

_{for rooting a family tree  luxuriant}

_{despite the surroundings and circumstances, poignant}

_{and nurturing it with divine essence}

_{letting it grow to spread an ethical fragrance}

_{to exhibit love in true form through five decades of togetherness}

_{facing and overcoming crises, countless}

_{joining hands, shoulders together}

_{tolerating and absorbing the faults of each other}

_{from the Gadjat village, tribal, and remote}

_{Their deeds enriched it, the villagers boast}

_{so on so forth numerous points to pen}

_{as their charisma warrants repetition again and again}

_{Deserve you, couple, divine,e accolades}

_{for your conjugal life spanning over five decades}

_{more than half a century}

_{Many more will be added to this glory}

_{celebrating jubilee after jubilee}

_{to the Pal dynasty’s pride and fellow Pals’ glee}

_{Pride for the Panchapada, Rasol village duo}

_{gadjati, remote, once people,, them did not know}

_{sharing and shouldering all the strife}

_{that faces a man in earthly life,}

_{day in and day out}

_{in working careers throughout}

_{devoted and dedicated to demanding professions}

_{Both worked for the benefit of billions}

_{Despite all their trials and tribulations}

_{never neglecting family and social obligations}

_{on transferable assignments}

_{mostly spreading over rural environments.}

_{enduring them rearing up children with a befitting education}

_{that they could make up with exemplary cooperation}

_{Kudos to your sacrifices and endurance}

_{What poets call ' true’ love’s credence.}

_{Illustrated you as a benign path for a working couple}

_{Now their unions are generally brittle}

_{served you as the Lord's emissary in such a mission}

_{teaching the advancing society many a lesson.}

_{Rose both of you to the top rung in the career ladder}

_{complying all commitments of life without failure.}

_{consoling, consulting, cooperating in need}

_{Both ensured partners’ heart does not bleed.}

_{Nurtured they, with an ever-expanding family tree}

_{In its luxuriant and vibrant growth their toil, we see.}

 

_{Hey Pramod and Pranati1 as your contribution is much valued}

_{on behalf of the society with love and gratitude}

_{Pray we, your peers and friends}

_{Let God bless you to cross all treacherous bends}

_{saving you from the three miseries of life}

_{arising from within, from nature, and from divine strife}

_{staying bonded  together in birth after birth
Lord will certainly send you to enlighten people on the earth.}

_{zigzagging through memory lane}

_{ornamenting your glory in this failing brain}

_{for your loving kids, grand}

_{I pen a few lines with my quivering hand}

_{some true and some  fancied to heart}

_{Adoring your footprints that you did impart}

_{never undermining the couple, the great}

_{with exemplary parental obedience in spate}

_{that has showered blessings on your life path}

_{Their protection has saved you from many a  wrath}

_{A blend of truth and maybe a fancied lie}

_{As inn my memory lane thoughts vie.}

_{A job entrusted to his mother}

_{to find,  for Pramod, a life partner}

_{Her daughter-in-law's law as she dreamed for}

_{as her departed daughters dented her heart’s core}

_{Who left for their in-laws’ places}

_{to make their homes and raise their own  races.}

_{Following the law of creation, now on modulation}

_{Pal Dynasty must make an illustration}

_{whether the way it is going is right or wrong}

spreading across the globe with bondage, strong.

_{As a true devoted and dedicated son, loving}

_{Though as his friend, my thoughts swing}

_{Taking advantage of boyhood friendship}

_{naughty and fancied thoughts, I cannot skip}

_{Instead of himself searching the nook and corner}

_{beyond  the state and country borders}

_{Envying now Pramod must reveal to his grandkids}

_{For granddaughter-in-law, their open worldwide bids}

_{Their ways of bridal search will certainly differ}

_{as space age A I  to old agers like us, blur}

_{Never Pramod did know}

_{at a stone distance throw}

_{Parents would find the bride}

_{as if nurtured in their backyard side.}

_{only to show off, himself, being a devoted son}

_{He seemed to sacrifice bachelorhood fun}

_{His friends feel the feelings of his grandsons}

_{Did their grandparents differ from heroes of fiction?}

_{with a youthful playboy dominating  mind}

_{Maybe Pramod had ideas behind}

_{to keep his bachelorhood stretched on}

_{he took shelter under his parental adoration}

_{As moms are generally fastidious}

_{to find a daughter-in-law with everything plus}

_{beauty, grace, humility, education}

_{where a heavenly fairy would fail in comparison}

_{But lo behold! Pramod received a telegram}

_{working away building at Balimela a dam}

_{Six hundred kilometers away}

_{With life as a bachelor, happy and gay}

_{to come soon for the wedding celebration}

_{Only four days left for the occasion}

_{Four thousand rupees for Pramod to carry}

_{And to parental instruction, Pramod started in a hurry}

_{Pramod!! You must tell your way of invitation}

_{to your seniors and peerss for giving your grandkids a lesson}

_{Those are likely to marry on the spot by impulsive selection}

_{But want to announce with pomp and celebration.}

_{no time for postal transactions for the invitation}

_{Without public presence drab,, turns the celebration}

_{we, friends of Pramod, make fun}

_{it is Pramod’s nook and corner run}

_{over far and wide}

_{to find him a bride}

_{focusing his binoculars}

_{as his classmate did  in particular}

_{from the medical ladies' hostel}

_{to villages across the power channel.}

_{But Rasol and Panchapada four kilometers away}

_{Pranati could not focus on her focus to be a prey.}

_{As the village belles are discarded for a running nose}

_{And to the illuminating lamp, darkness remains close}

_{but Pranati and Pramod!  Do not feel embarrassed}

_{your grandkids may pick up the girl next door, just.}

_{From Panchapada to Rasol Pranati’s place}

_{Four kilometers apart to find the bride with fairy grace.}

_{His grandkids envisage a melodrama}

_{Influenced by  fictions and figures of the modern era}

_{Grandma and grandpa were born four kilometers away}

_{Must there be facts fishy, whatever people say}

_{For comparison}

_{With todqay’s advancing civilization}

_{imagine I}

_{Pal dynasty tree}

_{at past its root}

_{and the future as its ever extending shoot}

_{from an unknown area backward}

_{to grow the family tree  spread upward}

_{spreading over seven continents}

_{enlightening all with their presence}

_{thanks to Pramoda Pranati duo}

_{as a couple, the societies bow.}

_{As per the public who has seen live}

_{Third February nineteen seventy-five}

_{The bridal procession started in a jeep}

_{decorated with fresh flowers from the nearby forest deep}

_{divinized flowers as if from Garden of Eden}

_{sent by demigod for bridal procession to blazon}

_{Unlike today’s flower, artificial and DJ sound}

_{the bridal procession was simple, led by well-wishers around}

_{It was a marriage under daylight}

_{Kerosene lamps were kept reserved for the impending night.}

_{A countable number made the bridal party}

_{But a pond fish fell short, say the public anti}

_{adorned the ceremony both sides’ well-wishers}

_{as it arises now, there was no chance of disturbances bitters}

_{Videoography photography werte not there to retain the memories, sweet}

_{to analyze now on Pranati  Pramod's furtive glances’ meet}

_{to reminisce about the youthful days with motives fickle}

_{to prove to their grandkids their love ample}

_{Dazzled by your spread over}

_{crossing even the Earth's border}

_{humbled I am to draw modern attention}

_{aspiring to build houses at space station}

_{Hey Future of Pal dynasty!}

_{where we see at root of your tree}

_{Pranati Promode a couple benign behind with glee}

_{Heavenly made for earth to twine}

_{from Gadjat area Pal dynasty to shine}

_{Born at places}

_{within stone's throw distances}

_{still none could catch each other’s sight}

_{waited silently till the first night}

_{to start their journey under a kerosene light}

_{you may have fun as on yodate}

_{on your grandparents’  mental state}

_{“Love at no sight}

_{a burning example to cite}

_{Never the grandchildren take it as true}

_{In the modern era, with an advanced society’s hue}

_{But emulate grandparents' feat}

_{their achievements are too great to beat}

_{For grandchildren’s joy}

_{in me pictures many I toy}

_{both on grandma and grandpa as their friend}

_{age and space kimpede the way to complete them to end}

_{on Pranati, the grandmother}

_{Pramos, the grandfather}

_{Pranati was then a postgraduate}

_{From advanced college, girls covet}

_{nurtured in an advanced environment}

_{She could well adapt to the ambient}

_{long veils, waist bent walk}

_{arm full arm bangles with whispering talk}

_{One kg of silver chain around the waist}

_{Many embarrassing situations a future principal faced}

_{departing cries with tearful song}

_{trained perhaps at her home for long}

_{Reminiscing about her hard days, she must be envious}

_{over such costumes, her grandchildren will make a fuss}

_{Pramod failed to save his bride despite promises at night.}

_{as flaws to orthodox society would come to light}

_{But now Pramod will be looking with awe}

_{When honeymoon pictures of their grandkids in them, they draw}

_{at Honolulu, Paris, or a space station}

_{not in Gadjati home as was their grandparents have done}

_{Pramod Pranati, you are the roots of this tree}

_{on your dream and blessing, its shoots grow free.}

_{let it grow in tandem with era modern}

_{but as per ethics of grandparents  to govern}

_{Parental choice is always right}

_{Love develops at no sight}

_{Love at first sight, poets dwell}

_{prove they in ample make conjugal life hell}

_{Sure it is, when it lacks well-wishers' blessings}

_{it, fifty years of pal couple brings}

_{Hey Abinash, Ansshuman,, Swarit,}

_Adhirit,

_{Abhayant, Ashvik, Abhayant, and AShrit}

_{blessed grand sons of Pranati and pramod}

_{as couiple,. hallowed!}

_{Grew you all on the blessed root of your grandparents}

_{you all being its shoot feel ever their presence}

_{never committing deeds, illegal and wrong}

_{as to their dynasty you belong}

_{spreading your shoot with future magnificent}

_{thus widening the Pal tree across the world with an aura brilliance}

_{from Gadjat Dhenkanal, a remote corner}

_{beyond the country and the Earth's border}

_{Keep up, pal, dynasty flag flying high}

_{as your well-wishers pray I}

_{On their gj day}

_{You are on the blessed way}

_{As Pranati Ptamod's kids, grand}

_{to make past dynasty as world famous band}

_{DSifference of opinion peeps in}

_{leading a conjugal life through thick and thin}

_{pramod Pranati must have conjugal tussle}

_{Pramod must be losing the battle}

_{as Prasnati was in the mold of a principal}

_{Pramod buys peace in his works, official}

_{handling labour peer boss with rage}

_{Adding a family battle to his daily life page}

_{Pranati in due course to the chair of principal}

_{modulated heart tone verbal}

_{to control his subordinates and students in general}

_{in a duel between husband and wife many}

_{wife emerges winner  in conjugal harmony}

_{their mutual love overshadows the fight}

_{accepting the partner is right}

_{but their neighbors never grumble}

_{over theirconjugal life battle}

_{growing children used to be ngotiater and umpire}

_{thus must be running in peace  Pal empire}

 

_{On your GJ celebration}

_{We, all in unison}

_{Pray for your happiness and health}

_{Contentment, peace and bliss as divine wealth}

_{The diamond jubilee is not far ahead}

_{for a celebration at the space station, your grandkids will head.}

 

_{P K Routray}

_{in the service of the Lord}
