Traveling pants

Is not about Sisterhood Of Traveling Pants.

If you know the author and have accompanied her to adventure trips to various locations in past two years , you know who, err... what is being referred here.

Else , let me take pleasure of introducing you to -Army green , cotton based , 6-pocket , cargo pants.

We all own one such in different shapes and sizes . Don't we ?

The one we pick up for damn every travel .
The one which is rugged and tough,
Yet gives all the comforts , in hazel.
The one which was in use for hours and days .
And still can be used for coming days and hours.

The one which has seen the mountains ,
Has crossed rivers with us.
The one which was dusted,
Was splashed in water with muds.

The one which transforms to 3- fourths ,
To safeguard its own tearing corners.
The one which shields the colds.
And takes all the sweat , when warmer .

And if you still wonder ?
Or must have forgotten it in a timeless thunder.
Look around , it must be lying somewhere,
Cluttered underneath your branded clothing blunder .

From the cupboard, it calls out in silence

"Take me out of this darkness"
"Take me to sunshine of the woods.
From the cupboard, it whispers out loud
"Take me out to the wilderness "
"Take me to the cloudy hill roofs".

-By yours truly, still clueless.

The same pretty much holds good for our traveling backpacks , perhaps the traveling shoes .They all say one thing- take some time off from your chaotic schedules for mother nature, but don't over do it , as they might end up teared .

PS1: Removed earlier PS statements.
PS2: They snatch the fame n focus away from the poem.
PS3: Ok, current ps2 is pretty much doing the same.
PS4: Fine , readers can still scroll through those verses again.
PS5(retained): btw, that cold did not swinned enough to be flu.
