Where's my Santa?

'Christmas carols' is in the air,
And, the atmosphere is uplifted by the prayers;
But, I'm puzzled by a simple line,
"What to expect from Santa this time?" ;)

Should I expect something incredible?
Or should I look for something probable?
This complication persists and so is the confusion,
And I started looking for 'my Santa',who can answer these question(s):

Who can get me a 'plum cake' from Santhi bakers ?
Who can share 'awesome music' that will be a monotony breaker ?
Who can answer an awaited question of 'having a cup of coffee together'?
With whom would I like to share my chocolates rather?
From whom should I ask for a pending birthday treat?
And, with whom would I like enjoying a crazy feat?

I've listed just a few reason(s),
Would you like to be my Santa this season ???


#Lovely Christmas rhyme with tangy lime

The Lost Wallet

What's that one thing whose value fluctuates on daily basis?

What's that one thing where a person can check his monetary traces?

No, it isn't a hi-fi gadget,

It's just a pocket sized wallet ! ;)

This story is about a lost wallet,

Who parted away from his mistress;

'Lady in possession of a wallet!' does pose an intriguing question,

But, it's a societal trend where unisex culture evens out the equation. :)

The wallet was nervous after parting away from her,

And out of anxiety his vision was blurr(ed),

He thought it's going to be the last day of his life,

And that he's left all by himself to survive.

On the other hand, his mistress was unaware of the fact,

That her wallet went missing on some unknown track;

She was busy enjoying the evening with her mates,

But, later, she repented the consequences of this undue fate.

Subsequently, the wallet started sobbing out of despair,

He waited for someone to adopt him as an extra pair.

He evaluated himself of the monetary value,

And smirked at something, he didn't wish to tell you!!! :)

Next day the Mistress started searching for him,

But, didn't find him anywhere she thought he could have been;

After a lot of dejection and pain,

She ceased the mission after all the efforts went in vain.

The process ahead turned out to be a tricky affair,

Making legal complaints and managing the fare; 

Blocking the ATM card was a different experience,

Justifying her own identity posed a hurdle in clearance.

The fate of wallet is not known to anyone,

But, the Mistress surely misses her best companion!!! :(

Thanksgiving: because a ‘Thank you’ was due!

Thank you!  Thank you!! Thank you!!!

That is all I wanted to say,

And, thought of expressing the same,

In my own creative way.

So,I’m writing a poem for your delight,

Bringing a few memories back to the lime light;

I’m arranging passed moments from my hindsight,

And I hope the scattered jigsaws will be set right.

Over phone,

You sounded confident with your scintillating voice,

And helped me in making my college choice;

But when I reached here,I didn’t find you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

I played badminton after quite a long time,

And, we managed the shuttle between the parallel line(s);

I was encouraged to see an ‘active’ you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

You always greeted in a pleasing style,

Your jovial appearance and the beautiful smile;

I was spellbound by the warmth shown by you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

Just in an year’s spell,

You decoded this institute quite well;

How the people,the place and the system functions,

You shared a lot about the links and the junctions;

I was overwhelmed to see an ‘analyst’ in you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

The tips you shared were worth following,

I did try a few and it added to the zing;

The secret of library basement is actually known to a few,

And for sharing it,
a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

When the EPL team owner inquired,

and an instant answer I required,

I could not think of a negotiable reply,

Then you came for my rescue like an ally;

I was moved to see a 'friend' in you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

 The Pink Puma Bag is an element of attraction,

 As it spreads in the air that feminine fraction,

 I was thrilled to see the bag with you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due! 

Well…

Some instances might have been left unquoted,

But, the beautiful ones have been well noted;

I hope to express my gratitude in future too,

And let ‘the Thank you’ be left: as a due!!!

#Thanksgiving: written for a dear friend on her birthday to express my gratitude.
# Actual 'Thanksgiving': Fourth Thursday in November in the United States; second Monday in October in Canada; commemorates a feast held in 1621 by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag

Walking down the friendship lane with Suchandra Sen

 

When any possibility ceases to exist,

And, when your courage starts to resist…..

Suddenly, your conscience is struck by a low pitch voice,

That unpacks a bunch of free flowing advice.

And when you try to figure out the source,

You’ll find a girl standing at the step of your doors.

She possesses beauty with brain(s),

And she is known as Miss Suchandra Sen.

She’s a consultant to many and friend to all,

She’ll come for your rescue when you are about to fall.

She devours upon Schezwan rice and paneer chilly,

Sometimes, she behaves maturely and sometimes silly.

Yawning over a phone call is her patent style,

But, with a little effort she can make you smile.

Nowadays, she’s gaining expertise in fine arts,

And has already achieved mastery in mending broken hearts.

She resembles ‘Ms. Lily’ of HIMYM gang,

And orbit around us just like a boomerang.

She also teaches Philosophy of life on part time basis,

And, corrects your English in erroneous places.

She’s the first non-vegetarian amongst VAMPS,

And she always wanted her photo on the postage stamps.

But, the internet age killed her fascinating dream,

Now she wants her name on top of the twitter trending stream!!!

She’s well equipped with the ingredients for making ‘Khayaali Pulaao’,

And you will never be able to decipher what & how?

She actually cooks it well and serves you hot,

And after garnishing it with intellectual sauces, it’s placed on your mental pot! ;)

The whole process is patented and very nicely designed,

So, don’t try to copy else you’ll be heavily fined !!!

A lot many things are yet to be told,

about this girl who’s beautiful and bold (in that order);

The stories of her spectacles, smart phone and driving sense,

is being kept reserved as next part of the suspense!

#Written as a token of love for my dear friend Suchandra on her birthday.

Decoding Gandhi (Partially)

The actual set-up for recording Gandhi Katha

Gandhi’s experiences were shared by Mr.  Narayan Desai,

I attended the same without knowing ‘WHY?’

Was it the quest to know his character well?

Or was it a hunger to grasp the essence of something worth to tell?

‘Why Gandhi’ remains a question for me,

Is it because of his Leadership skills or his popularity is the key?

He appear to have strived to win hearts of the people,

But was the agenda to become a “Mahatma” of uncountable disciple(s)?

He was intellectual, he walked fast,

He maintained his public life to long last.

He went to an extent of saving the life of people during partition homicide,

But, called the trials of brave patriots: a self-dug pit of suicide.

He elevated the untouchables,

And appear to have work for their cause,

But was it his style of making a new society,

A new category that came for his applause!

He preached non-violence throughout his life,

But can he be justified for not saving a Revolutionary’s life?

Initially his ideas were amicably proposed,

Which over a period of time he imposed,

‘Fasting’: the best trick to blackmail,

‘The brahmastra’ that never fail(ed).

He did blend fearlessness with non-violence,

As an innovative way of promoting his wide presence;

The concept evolved to rescue people in partition pain,

But was it more of Gandhi’s than peoples’ gain?

He failed to give ‘The Freedom Fight’ a finishing touch,

The state where expectations of people were very much;

His competence of eloquence & truthfulness gave way,

Raising an unanswered question:

“Was he sidetracked from his own play?”

Date: 19^th August 2013

Occasion: After attending two thought provoking sessions on Gandhiji’s idea of Ahimsa & Truthfulness (Gandhi Katha, narrator: Mr. Narayan Desai)

Place: Ahmedabad
