One, Two, Three

One is lonely, two is company

Three is a crowd, all are boring clichés!

One is the soul, two is the body

Third is the mind

All three are needed to do one proud!

One is myself, two is yourself

Three is ourselves

We are the whole and only one soul!

One is a line, two is a curve

Three is a double semi-curve

Each is a part of the whole!

I am what I am

I am what I am

I am surely not a sham

Take it or leave it

Don’t pick any nit

I’ll always do what I like

I don’t care if others’ BPs hike

You may say, I have some cheek

I can’t help it, if God made me unique!

Happy Navaratri

Dear friends,
                             Wish you all a Very Happy Navaratri. May the Divine Goddess shower abundant blessings on all of us. Enjoy! Here's a snap of Golu decoration for this festival,

in our house.

The Boxer

If you are rearing for a fight

I’ll just pull my socks tight

You may use all your might

To vent on me, all your spite

I’m not all that light

Why don’t you just go, fly a kite?

Just get out of my sight

Before I punch you, left and right!

Square Peg

I was always a square peg in a round hole

I went about wearing shoes without a sole

While my classmates (in a play) wanted the main role

I was sure that I wanted only the sidey’s role!

When my friends chose for their career – engineering or medicine

I chose mountaineering – over-riding protests from my kin!

While my friends went ga-ga over pretty little gals

I played football and rugby with my other great pals!

I surely don’t want to just make pots of money

No wonder everyone thinks I’m crazy and looney!

Junkies! - Please say "NO" to drugs.

Junkies say....

 

Come let’s have a drag

Life’s such a drag

Let’s escape into another world

From our drab world!

Here life’s rosy and cheerful

There’s never a lull

Let’s experience ecstasy

Live out each and every fantasy!

Let’s not have illusions

That we’ll not have delusions

Yes, it does fascinate

That we may hallucinate!

Yes, we’re in a sorry state

We confess and state

We’ve had it

If we don’t have it!

The chills are worse than the pill

Hence we pay through our noses for the pill

We run the risk of an overdose

But that’s better than being morose!

Tomorrow you’ll say, our lives are wasted

When we’ll lie before you, supine and wasted 

A lesson to one and all

Don’t heed to any drugs’ call!

Junkies plead...

Please relieve us from this HELL!

Ganapati Visarjan

Dear friends,
                      In a few hours, we will be bidding adieu to our favorite Lord Ganesha. The idol that has been the centre of attraction since 10 days,

will be immersed in a bucket on our terrace. We will pray to him to take away all our worries and bless us with abundant blessings and happiness. As we will chant "Ganapati Bappa Moraya, Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya" (Oh Lord, Please come soon next year!") we will be filled with indescribable sadness and hope.
                     But the Lord will always remain in our hearts and continue to be our friend, philosopher and guide.
                                                                                                                           Priya
