.....HERE COMES THY,THE RAIN IN SUMMER.

INSPIRED BY HW LONGFELLOW'S WORK

As i see farmer's in the field, out to toil
from somewhere, i can get the smell of the soil
which is not something for me to wonder
as here comes thy, the rain in summer.

The weather, till now, had been blazing hot
and had created problems by the lot.
Looks Zeus decided that must go this sender
so that people say here comes thy, the rain in summer.

On people's face, can been seen a sigh of relief
as though has gone away, from their lives, grief.
Though they may run towards the nearest shelter
its just to chant here comes thy, the rain in summer.

Can be seen on the face of children, a lot of joy
and one all dancing out there by being a little coy.
As one is out to launch, in the puddle,his boat of paper
he is out to herald, here comes thy, the rain in summer.

Like a lush green blanket looks the crop
some frogs, hither and dither are out to hop.
Though the produce afterwards one may've to garner
all would do with as here comes thy, the rain in summer.

ODE TO MY BLIND DATE :)

Since i hadnt heard from my "one of a kind"
I thought,go on a date thats called "blind"
Since the "appointment" a common friend had set
i knew i had to be on time and leave none upset.

But i wondered what i was doing was right
as i was about to see someone who wasnt in sight.
Moroever my friend had put across such a condition
and what if it wasnt to be, was my apprehension.




Since about a picking up a job, the gal wanted an advice
giving it on the phone, i felt, didnt seem feasible and wise.
So i thought that it would be appropriate and better
if i could meet, enjoy and tips also i could offer.

Due to the month end, work was in full swing since dawn
and when the gal called to ask whether the date was on
I started to get, in my stomach, a lot of butterfly
though my confidence reached an all time high!!

In the evening, as the clock stuck six
my mind was still in real state of fix.
Since i hadnt encountered anything like this before
i wasnt sure what was going to be in store.

As i left work a little early, to her, i called
and told her to meet at Andheri station's Mcdonald.
Though i knew that this was an unexpected treat
my heart was still skipping an alternate beat.

Outside Mcdonalds, on time,i reached and was about to wait
i realized,my description,i hadnt given before it was too late
Thought what i must, to her clearly, tell
so that she could recognize me easily and well.

Before i could do that, came across a PYT
and gave me a look,that others also started to see
As i could see the sun set in the radiant sky
she asked whether i was, from VIDEOCON, CHINMAY!!

As i said yes and lead her inside
i thanked god for such a nice eventide.
Now i look back, the "date" was a real success
though all that we did was eat, drink and discuss.

DIALOGUE BETWEEN A FATHER & SON -a duet

Dad, I always had, this apprehension
of how to ask you a certain question .
Let me keep aside today’s newspaper
so that your doubts, I can answer.

I know that mom and you are the friends I’ve had.
But my worry is that you may think, about me bad.
Well junior, speak out whats in your mind
and I assure you that I wont get at all, wild.

Well, it isn’t that am being curt and rude
of what you say so much good
those many years ago in my mother
which you didn’t see in any other!!

Son, I was a chap who was someone trivial.
But your mom was someone who was like an angel.
The moment her,one fine day, I saw
left me with a feeling of awe.

Didn’t you feel at any time bad
especially by the opposition of granddad??
Well, for me love, I saw in his opposition
and hence never thought it was an opposition!!

All these problems, we know, we had to endure
as we knew, we would face it for sure.
It was this spirit that kept us always together
even if people tried to take us away further.

But these days, you guys, act so quiet
like you don’t want to been in each others sight.
That is because junior, I have given your mom the space
so that she can have identity in this rate race.

Well, going back, to that special day
to mom, those special 3 words, you did say!!.
That son, was the most memorable day of my life
as I knew that I had got her as my wife.

All this while, I have been by your mother’s presence
and you’ve been there to provide us the needed essence.
Thanks dad, for all this, today for letting me know
and sure, about you people, I’ll tell my kids after they grow!!

ODE TO MY DREAM GIRL..

Wish I could fall in love again

so that my lost happiness I can regain.

Still, am looking out, for that girl

Who’ll come by and make me whirl.

She must be someone with long hair

and in her eyes, for me,must be care.

Its ok, to look, if she is simple and sweet

as its her company I expect as a treat.

To avoid any sort of future frustration

she must be with minimal expectation.

This can come if she accepts as I am 

who’s someone ordinary and with no glam.

Her dressing must be simple, yet with grace

and,always a smile, must be on the face.

Everyone I know must be able to relate to her

as their friend, sister or even daughter.

She must know, for me and all, how to cook

and feed something that isn’t there in the book.

“Food is the way to a man’s heart” they say

which hopefully her cooking, I can relish night & day.

Being with me, for her, would be a roller coaster ride

and I wish, she would never leave my side.

Even if am someone who has touched the low

her head, in shame, I wont allow her to bow.

In future, may come a day, when I can think

that I’ll never ever to leave my favourite drink.

Instead of being like someone who gets angry

she must be there to ease my frustration and worry.

While there is happiness, there is bound to be strife

and separation,we may think form each other’s life.

Yet,care and concern, for each other,be there night and day

though those three magical words, often we may not say.

While she is there as a mother to my children

she must show them unconditional love and concern .

My wish to you is that let us bring our kids together 

so that they would know more about their father and mother.

 So, come along, find and propose your love to me 

as, that is what in your eyes, I want to see.

A girl’s true love is what I can think to believe 

before I think, my heart, to anyone I can give.

MY HEARTBREAK

BASED ON A REAL INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED TO A FRIEND OF MINE..THE INCIDENT FORMED THE BASIS OF THE THEME ON WHICH THIS PIECE OF WORK WAS WRITTEN.

 Oh lord,before you, as I pray and genuflect 

the life,you gave me, I begin to reflect.

I was blessed that among, what came as sadness 

there was something like the air of happiness.

But oh god, though you were like my guardian. 

Yet, one thing,I still know not,why you let it happen.

The thought of it hits me hard night and day

and words about it, I still don’t have words to say.

Had come in the past, a stage, also, in my life

when I thought, for myself, I must get a wife.

When she came across, just by her presence 

I thought that she was there to provide me essence.

Life had looked so colorful and bright 

and for the first time, I felt love day & night.

It looked like that I was already on cloud nine

once this girl, I had made her as mine.

She had apparently won everyone’s heart

and everyone saw her, as a family’s part.

Hence quickly was, one day arranged

a function that made us officially engaged.

Just when things were looking to fall in place 

something happened that still gives me the scares.

That was when, she made my life taken an u turn

when love for me, wasn’t there, I got to learn.

My head started to, cluelessly spin

as I knew  her heart, couldn’t win.

It was difficult to let her, from my life, go

as I had begun, to her, all my love, show.

Those days it looked as you didn’t have any care

as all things would happen, I was never aware.

Though now, I may not brood or look back

yet it reminds me something that I lack.

Slowly I rise, and towards the exit, I go

I thank the lord,for the life she show(ed).

All that I wish, If I were to fall in love again

let it last long and never let my efforts go in vain.
