To a friend

I wrote this for a friend of mine, who got married a year ago...

I saw a little girl one day,
Who used to love to shake and sway,
To the music that would beat from the stereo,
My, she even loved to dance to the radio…

We met after quite a while,
When work began, in Mysore,
What fast friends we became,
A loo laa la la, le lum tame

What fun she was, that little doll,
With a funny cackle, and delightful call,
Her tongue she stuck out at funny times,
It was such fun making this rhyme.

Why did I put it up here?
To remember her by :)

I remember friends

When we met, the state, the time,
Every little word that came out in a rhyme,
The stories, the games, the broad knowledge frames,
Every little detail in the one thousand names,

The sms, sent, received and shared,
As friends we quite well fared,
Over coffee, movies, beaches and picnics,
Luncheons and dinners and small ice-candy sticks.

The games, the fights, the little concern,
The anger, frustration and abusive yearn,
Didn't last much to divide,
What will remain a bond tied. (Between us)

There will be changes and alliances formed,
When I will be forgotten, or familiar stormed,
There will be changes and distances formed,
Between you and I and reasons combed....

But even then I don't care,
I always will remain true and fair, (to them)
I can't remain vengeful or misunderstanding,
I can't remain doubtful and assuming...

That is not me...
No it isn't me,
You I will remember for changing my strife,
You I will remember for changing my life...


This all started when I read a friend's blog,
