dedicated to grandma

take a bit of a lovely lady
add to her a bit of a wonderful man
you will get a cute little baby
who grew up and wrote this poetry under the influence of a beer can

childhood is a very vague blur
all i have from those days are the photos, which i look at and wonder
were my eyes really as big as a coin worth 5 rupees
and gosh! i had really chubby cheeks

people say i was a real good kid
never cried for anything like almost every child did
but supposedly the only thing that would make my heart race
was rama's friend hanuman's mace

then came the days of school
the place which was the height of cool
the memories from this place are dear
and ill miss that place for sure

like ashwin says we blinked once probably twice
and that place seemed out of sight
but in the interim the days were with fun mixed
with teachers both lenient and strict

life in the junior college was at its best
it was filed with enjoyment, happiness and my closest friends
we showed g'/g was actually dash
and with rockets flying everywhere ulka's lectures were quite a bash

we lived a life completely carefree
at 40 rupees the triple schezwan in the canteen was quite a treat
classes were bunked and enjoyed in the theatres
the phrase life's good never seemed truer

in the vacation went to manali
the place where i would love to live my life in finally
i have never enjoyed myself more thoroughly
but like all great things it too ended rather quickly

then came to college over here
lived with grandma in the 1st year
college in the 1st year flew away alike a breeze
leaving behind memories bitter and sweet

and then one fine day,
grandma decided to go to a place far far away
i felt bad, for i never got to tell her
how much i loved her in every single way

life got back to being usual
only difference i moved into the hostel
friends were the people who made life happy
and in that breed i had quite a many

though i used to see her daily
one day she gave me a new sense of vague familiarity
i thought and thought and it struck me
she was the girl in my dreams, walking in my reality

i asked her out with some trepidation
she rejected me without any hesitation
it was too late before i realized it was never meant to be
all the while she had someone else in her heart you see

i don't know who to blame for this fault
all i can say is it was raining when i went to sell salt
the ocean is filed with fish i know
ill find a beautiful one, before long I'm sure

well, this is my story till now,
hopefully i do something that'll make you go wow!
ill append this poem some other day
when i have something more to say!!!
