A Buzz in Cell Phone of A Lady Advocate of Supreme Court

Standard

She represented State of Gujarat. 
I was on behalf of a convicted prisoner.   
We were waiting for the case to be a called out. 
Suddenly a message came in her mobile.’
Her Father had just died in Baroda.
She could have left court.
But instead, she continued to sit in court till case was called.
This inspired me. 
That evening, I wrote following poem. 

A Buzz in Cell Phone of A Lady Advocate of Supreme Court

 

She waitedimpatiently
For her case to becalled
In a court which wasrather slow 

Oh ! A buzz in hercell phone!
She came out fromcourt
And pushed button ofher phone
To hear what thecaller has to say 

Voice was not clear
Someone was sobbing
At other end
‘Your father haspassed away’
The voice finallycame clear 


A sob went down
Before it came out


This was no time tobreak down
Her case was about tobe called out


An convicted prisoner was decaying in jail
Since ten long years
And was flapping hiswings fervently
To came out from thecage 


They must not weep 
till the case is called
She told her eyes


The heart must notsob 
till case is called
She told her heart 


The case was over in two hours
And she flew home byevening plane 


But not without 
firstreaffirming
Higher values of thisprofession
Which makes thisprofession


Highest of all
