Happy Birthday Darling!!

She's witty, she's charming, interesting and outgoing,
Energetic, enthusiastic, she's a woman so demure,
She's fun to be around, would never let you fall,
Intellectual when she talks, she knows them' all,

She's her Daddy's princess and her Mama's doll,
Her brother's best buddy, and Atom's pal..
So caring and enduring, and she's so angelical,
Bestie to her friends, so many can't name them' all,

Though I have known her for less than a year now,
But time can't say it all,
With so many deeper secrets, we've shared them all,
She's an everlasting friend, what more can I tell

And today she turns silver, a day so pure,
I wish you all the luck Kanchu, may you never stall,
If I could I'd get that what you always long for [ ;-) ]
So always keep smiling, a smile so mystical.

A humble request !!!

Dear Mr Employer,

Please kindly excuse but I will only be coming an hour late every morning from today on and also leave an hour early from work going forward each day.. Kindly consider this as my usual work timing as I would be spending the said time walking to and fro to office each day.. As you must be aware that there has been a recent hike in Autorickshaw fares (more than 60% hike ever since December 2010) and also Petrol prices (rising upto Rs 75/- per litre) making local transportation extremely difficult, I do not find any mode of transportation suitable to commute to office other than my two weak little legs.. In case you must be thinking about the local trains, please note that there are no direct trains running between my residence and the workplace, making the former a less viable option.. Also pls note direct buses do not run in my vicinity and the only one which i can think of taking is more than overcrowded and comes only at intervals of one hour, the only one time that I took that Bus to work place, I was threatened to be thrown on top of the bus by the commuters giving me ugly than worse a feeling like one of those in the Pak Air).. In case you must be wondering why I do not buy my own wehicle to commute to office, I must kindly remind you that I am one of the cheapest resource in your workplace with the utmost minimum pay ckeck making it feasiblily unviable to afford a two-wheeler (lest be a car) with the sky-rocketing fuel costs.. Now that you know the plight of my situation I must also remind you that I am quite faithful to my job, but in case even if I try and find another job with a better pay in the city there is too much competition for the openings (kindly remember the insurmountable population of the nation) making it extremely difficult to even attempt switching over, for which I am too grateful to you for your gratitude.

I hope you understand the grim situation of my life and would consider my proposal.

Speaking in the best interest of our organization,

Your's sincerely,
The most underpaid employee.

To Her Royal Highness!!!

Born to this day to my blessed parents was our very own cute little princess.. First look at her gleamy eyes, and my parents were overjoyed by her presence in their life.. With the face of an angel, and her awesomely mystic charms, she grew up as the most adorable kid in the entire neighborhood... Demure to the core, she has this seemingly spectacular aura to allure the entire beauty of the Universe.. When she walks, the sea is at fight with its own self; it wants to touch, to know and to feel her.. She has a smile, a smile that can win millions of hearts, and yet she's the most humblest person around.. She my pride, my glory and my most precious possession (Oh! She's elder to me by exact two years)..

With my heart filled to brim with joy and pleasure, I wish my guiding angel a many happy returns of the day!! I pray to God that she be bestowed with all happiness and joy that she ever desires!! Love you forever and always... ;)

A reunion of memoirs..

Eight long years and here we are.. Never thought of that it would actually take so many days when I'd really get to see some of my best friends from school days.. Though we'd been in touch but being together for real... it took more than eight years to be.. All our teenage memories were revived..

The prolonged discussions on meaningful & meaning less topics, playing stupid pranks on class-mates, annoying history and other boring teachers, singing & whistling sitting in the last bench, fighting for lunch boxes, sneaking out of boring classrooms, bunking lectures, combined studies, hanging out together after school, going to tution classes together, golgappe, masala dosa at Madrasi canteen, Bombay sweet mart chat, chit-chatting & gossipping about recent crushes, best movies we liked, movies we'd like to see.. guys we wanted to/ hated to talk to.. gals we loved to bitch about..all those things came alive in a second..

They were so very true..we fought, we loved, we talked to eternity, we'd been there and loved every fraction of the silliness we could have been and now we are into different world with different responsibilities... OMG am I too old now was the thought that struck me immediately.. I loved my teens, I wanted them back desparately, I wanted to live every moment of it again, yet all I could do at that moment was cherish the memoirs that were embedded deep within the heart..

You always hear from people "gone are the days that never come back, and all you are left is the memoirs they leave to you".. I could really feel every inch of it.. It was such awesome fun.. And when this fun filled weekend was coming to an end and I had to say bye to my friend, again a feeling of gloom and despair came over me.. Lot of thoughts waved across my mind together.. Are we meeting again? Will we be sharing the same space as we once used to? What has future got for us in its kitty?  And God knows what?? Amidst all these thoughts still I was full with happiness to the brim.. I knew that what it was once can be relived again (ofcourse in a different manner this time).. But at the end all that mattered was being together... :)
