Added another page to my age!

26years is quite a long time,
And this made me write another rhyme.
What to mention & what to leave,
the confusion does persist,
Because 'These Years' are difficult to compile,
It's a never ending list.

'These Years' were full of splendid experiences,
'These Years' were filled with lively substances,
'These Years' were about exciting moments & splendid places,
'These Years' were about interesting people & unforgettable faces.

'These Years' passed in fostering a common sense,
Although, many look for signs of its genuine presence! :)

'These Years' were about developing a pace,
Realising lately, that it's more important to leave a trace!

'These Years' were about upgrading from 'Uniform' to 'Formals',
'These Years' were about converting from 'diurnals' to 'Nocturnals'.

'These Years' were about understanding the good & the bad,
'These Years' taught exploring happiness when the situation turns sad.

'These Years' were about skipping a beat few times,
And, preserving those instances in life's time line!

'These Years' passed in learning ways to mitigate fear,
And understanding how small act of bravery gives a reason to cheer!

Twenty-six years of journey was like a roller coaster ride,
I enjoyed taking the twists & turns in my stride;
Which taught me that, 'Happiness stretches the life line',
So,
'Keep smiling', is gonna be the concluding line!

Thanks for reading!

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.
