Andy tu rehne de
The nurse just kept on pinching me hoping I would cry,
To get back I then grabbed her nose & happily began to sway
She gave me one tight slap and said – Andy ,tu rehne de
As a kid I longed to roll in mud and eat with dirty hands,
Steal a candy from candyman, build sandcastles in sands,
All I needed was to cross the street where all miracles lay,
But mom kept holding my hand to say – Andy, tu rehne de
And then there was this girl I digged, cutest smile under the sky,
With rosy cheeks & bouncy hair & twinkle in the eye,
Red rose in hand I went to her on Valentine’s Day,
With pity looks she smiled & said – Andy, tu renhe de
At work I slogged & slogged & slogged, till morning turned to night,
My boss was worse than Hari Sadu, he just wouldn’t give respite,
Appraisal Day, I knocked his door, hoping promotion in some way,
With taunting eyes he waved me off – Andy, tu rehne de
I had two kids – a handsome boy and a baby girl too,
I thought I’ll take them boating trip and take them to the zoo,
Take out time from work I will, with kids then I shall play,
But baby girl moved her baby lips – Daddy, tu rehne de
And so I turned a grey old man with ailments as my friends,
Diabetes and heart attacks and growing sugar trends,
To doc I said – Mate give me meds, to keep these things at bay,
He shook his head and sadly said – Andy, tu rehne de
Then one fine day I left the world and reached the pearly gates,
Heavens had increased their fees, hell had reasonable rates,
“O almighty! Just get me through to heaven!” I would pray,
To this He raised his blessed hand and said - Andy…………. :D

O Captain My Captain
O Captain My Captain!!
I give my sword to thee
It has fought its way to glory
Martyr’s worthy it would be
Where my mama waits with moist eyes
Where cool breeze still flows through the meadows
And stars still shine in the skies
Its funny, at death, O Captain
The thing closest to my heart
Was neither hatred nor fear nor anger
It was the enemy’s dart
I measured the enemy O Captain
His eyes weren’t much different from me
They told a similar story
Of pain and agony
I fought for the kingdom O Captain
I fought for that last inch of land
Never asking for theories or reasons
Never thinking of making a stand
And so I lay on the field O captain
Wondering was the sacrifice worthy
And with pride (or guilt?) O captain
I give my sword to thee

Stupid Poem
Typing a stupid poem that i wrote in a lecture. The lecture was about time management and i was supposed to take notes :P
I got bored and wrote a poem instead.
The poem itself is childish.So like rest of my blog. do not take it seriously.
TIME MANAGEMENT
Mornings & afternoons & evenings & nights
Studies and prayers and parties and fights
Loosing seconds, I wonder , has it become a crime?
Why is it so hard to manage the time?
The hourglass, he is ruthless, he stops for none
Those minutes, so precious, are always on run
Are they selling them somewhere, in dollars or dime?
If yes then I would gladly buy me some time
It's funny, the time, he treats all the same
He gives all the same day, with same time frame
Who win in this time frame are kings, rest are mimes
For them its not that hard to manage the time
For me, i must admit, i suck at this stuff
I waste many hours & things do get rough
I am writing this next line , for the poem to rhyme
Me thinks its time for me to manage some time :-)
