Praveen Kumar 
I was born in a modern world with all things cool with all things hi-tech;
I was told to live the modern way rushing all day long running from pillar to post in search of something something to uplift me from rags to riches;
a constant mad rush it was life was a struggle survival of the fittest it was a survival of the "intelligent" people;
there i was, in the midst of these struggle sitting in the corner watching them fight it out while slowly plotting my way out;
from this jungle that is so full of life that is so rich in "gadgetry" from this huge jungle where one's life depended on someone all the time;
slowly trying to escape from this mad zoo I slowly try run away one step at a time away from this jungle;
away from this city where love is just another word where emotions are nothing but a coward's excuse watching this mad struggle day after day from the comfort of my corner seat I wait for the day to escape from it all;
I was asked to getup (and go) I was made to think I was programmed to win;
yet when, I want to be happy and i want to live a life in the city;
I am being forced to run away in search of happiness in search of life from the city where you have everything;
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- add-on lines -x-x-x-x-x-x-x- yet no one knows what is to be happy what is to be loved
in the city where emotions are just a figment of imagination where people are just robots if one goes, another one replaces it where people are just pieces of metal
