Stardust!

Halley’s comet appeared & vanished in a streak
The year was lucky, it was 1986
Another star fell from the sky,
Soon he became an apple of everyone’s eye.
A magician of sorts but not knowing any tricks,
The year was lucky, it was 1986…

His eyes sparkling, aiming to reach for the Moon & stars,
He worked on his dreams, brick by brick
Not catapulted to success by some marketing gimmick,
With fearless thoughts, he put all at stake
Coz’ living to the fullest was worth taking every risk,
The year was lucky, it was 1986..

You call him an actor,
I call him a human who truly lived,
Working relentlessly, without enough recognition,
Because in sincerity, he truly believed
Wish there was a way to make all wrongs fix,
The year was lucky, it was 1986..

His mind intrigued by the mysteries of the universe,
In thousands of books he could truly immerse,
His heart holding kindness towards one & all,
Was there anything he did that failed to enthral?
Be it watching Saturn’s rings, or acing MSD’s winning six,
The year was lucky, it was 1986…

His life cut short, but every breath lived worth celebrating,
His thoughts live on, his frequency forever reverberating,
To live like their icon is what so many aspire,
To see him again millions have a burning desire,
But all that is left is memories & heart-warming smiling pics,
The year was lucky, it was 1986..

Dear Sushant,

You came in 1986 just like Halley’s Comet. Please don’t take as long as Halley’s comet to come back again from your trip around the universe. Miss you 💫❤️
