"How To?"

By Nandita Bondre

Oh how to breathe in a place where even suffocating isn't acceptable?

How to smile in a place where teeth are supposed to be aligned and not crooked?

How to forgive a place where apologies are considered unrealistic?

And how to not care of a person who always showed they were concerned? 

How to dance in a place where music isn't audible? 

How to paint a place without a palette full of colours?

Oh how to travel a place without having the urge to walk? 

And oh dear, how to love a person who just pretends he has a heart?. 

How to?
