GAP
While engaged in a conversation, Mohit Ul Alam Sir and me were hilariously flipping with the word 'gap', as some may seek gap (opportunities to shirk) in our works. He advised me to write something on it. I am cought up with a thought!!

"Fill in the gaps" --
As we know, seen on top
Of a question paper many a time.
Finding a gap in a soccer match costs dearly!
A gap in the teeth costs aesthetics,
A gap of a dear one is irreparable,
A gap on a jeans is a style,
A gap in the friendship is remorseful,
A gap in a conversation causes from dropped network.
"Long time no see" means a gap in a courtesy-laden- speech,
Gap in a post is an opportunity.
Gap in the space is 'dark matter'
Finding gap in character is nuisance;
Yet when we shirk our responsibility,
We might whisper to our souls
"Go get the gap".
Is gap a leak, or is the meaning bleak?
Is that overwhelmingly everywhere?
Our fashion industry has made GAP a brand.
For some, gap is a possibility,
For others, gap is a melancholy --
Gap fills almost all the spaces.
On paper or sport, occupation or creation;
Escaping or flipping, seeking or sorting --
GAP is overwhelming.
Today the word has come to me
with the metaphor of Sartre's,
Making of a "thinking being",
Where, gap in our thoughts
May make us miserable thing !!
