No picture this time, I may add one later though. but there is certainly an attempt to versify. Dedicated to Di for whom my generation did hold a candle in the wind.
I feel I am at the centre of the world,
It can only revolve
As long as I revolve
Not yet, not yet
My words need to be controlled.
Truth is a penguin lost in the icy seas,
Or a dolphin gasping for breath
In the oily lake’s waters,
Or the clam hoping for the wave
To take her back from the sand,
No, it is a tiger dying from the wounds
Infected with human greed
No acts as yet, mere words, words, words
And nothing else.
How can I continue like this, away from my usual self?
No nonsense, this! let me (di)versify.
Let me call it a day.

Wow.. got lots to tell you.. pls dont mind if I happen to convert this comment section into a mini blog.. first things first.. Title is excellent… jus loved it. And yes, i too thank all the team and the CEO (and founder) of Rediff for having given us such a beautiful platform to share and learn. And i did find it strange that there is no pic this time.. and then got to read that u may add later on… and man.. me a tamil gujju or a gujju tamil.. doesnt matter much.. would want to be a simple down to earth and honest person in life.. yes.. i have made it a point to read each and every post of your.. (tho very very late sometimes. .. nevertheless read it).. as for the poem… there is the melancholic strain (a particular variety which u r great at composing) which touches the inner chord and ouch.. it hurts… And finally What do you mean by let me call it a day ? No way.. u aint going anywhere…. thou shalt contribute… and continue to do so. finally CONGRATULATIONS.
