I could never understand you,
Were you the sweet birds' chirping marking dawn
Or were you the cicadas' buzzing scaring around at night.
I could never understand you

Were you the lushy green tree?
Were you the shade under which icecream uncle would sleep where there are no customers
Or were you the thorny dry tree?
Which when coupled with full moon would make a perfect haunted scene
I could never understand you

Were you the cool calm wind blowing?
Were you swaying away the girls hair only to make her boy aww
Or were you the one blowing away huts and shops
I could never understand you

Were you the deep calm river where you meditate with your feet dipped in
Or where you the raging waves engulfing any one that came near you
I could never understand you

You were like that plant I grew,
In my garden which has been infertile since I knew...

that I hear the alarm snooze before it rings,
I am even sure that I don't keep alarm these days.

I am so alone that I picture my daily memory fading away,
I am even sure that I can always write a manuscript too vividly,
On moments after my fifth birthday.

I am so alone that I hear myself speak as loud as thunder,
I am even sure that people ask me twice
Why do I speak so soft and blur?

I am so alone that I see myself searching for an oasis,
I am even sure that the wind lashing the palm trees make me sleep each day.

Give me a chance
If I falter and fall
I'm still a naive
You stand too tall.

Give me a chance
If I leave like the sun
I'm still an insane
You will be illuminated through the moon .

Give me a chance
If I get plain as the sea
I'll still be an eclipse
You and me will once again entice.

Give me a chance
If I run hither and thither
I'll still be the pollen
You be my anther.

Give me a chance
If I let the flaws out
I'm still an insecure
You caress my plethora of doubt.

Give me a chance
If I falter and fall
I'm still a naive
You stand too tall.

If your Rolex watch shifts to a Nautica brand,
Granting a sister buy a Raksha Bandhan band,
Will your classy and sassy trait,
Beat the delight and content of those two heart.

If substituting your daily pizza with extra cheese,
A family get theirs one time meal,
Will your extravagance and opulence,
Beat the satisfaction and gratification,
Of a family dying to see a bit of wheat.

If with your thousands of money being wasted in hundreds of books,
Which you dare not open according to your mood,
An unaffordable child gets a schooling,
Will you mind the child's knowledge blooming?

Yes, I know you have excess of everything,
Will you mind having little of a heart.??

Be it the moment of my winning,
Be it the moment of my losing.

I never hug him,
I always touch his feet.

It gives me peace
As if this is all I need.

DAD ❤

Would you mind knowing a girl who praises by heart?
Would you mind  knowing a girl who knows how to respect  "Other's art" ?

‍May this diwali light the old parents home,
May their children come to meet them once before they reach the eternal dome,
May their feet feel the child's same old touch,
May their diwali not end with the usual international video calls and such..!

May this diwali bring some roti in the poverty stricken bay!
Maybe by snatching a bit of my four ladoos a day!
May their diwali end with a smile as colourful as the rangoli's spray!

May this diwali bring a  festive dress in some destitute family!
Maybe by snatching a bit of my designer's ethnic!!
Seeing their father bring a new dress in the domestic,
May Sonu and Monu's face light brighter than the fuljari!

May this diwali lighten all your burdens,
May you find the strength to overcome all your hurdles.
May the crackers be light
And the diyas be bright..
HAPPY DIWALI!!
