Writing this poem would not make me bold,
'Tis just a belief my poetry writing would take a mould!
Enjoying the crispy, crunchy Brittania Mariegold,
All this, while the customer was on hold!

Reading this, each one of them rolled;
While my team manager just turned cold:
Giving me a raise ten-fold;
Just making another line unfold.

Her heart was just made of gold.
In a land faraway, this poem would still be untold!
Reading this piece, my dad would only scold,
Thought that HP would be my career scaffold...

An ode to your laughter

I know this girl called Archie
Who made life seem like a party
She lightens up the whole floor with her laughter
Any father would love to have such a daughter!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why this suffocation
Despite the determination
This hell-bent examination;
Beyond the limits of frustation.

Am going through all like is a must;
And someone still thinks this is just!
Are my talents just to rust -
Has my time already bust?!

Why this bloody game of mockery?
Do I seem like a piece of crockery!
Take my life away...
Take my breath away

Feel like am in a dungeon;
just can't wait for the bludgeon'
Can't you see my heart bleed?
The soul is just waiting to be freed.

My head is spinning,
When will I start winning?
Why is destiny pinning
us this hard?! No time to even follow my ‘Pending’!

Is it worth – all this time spending!?
Never thought that life ‘d take such a beating…
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no place for losers;
Even for second place winners, if we can call them that;
Life is all about winning, and moving up the ladder;
This world is just a place for movers and shakers.

What should I do differently?
Why is victory eluding me so persistently!?!
Is it just destiny just playing up on me:
Or is it something that I cannot see…?

What more do I need to do -
That something extra - that’s done by more than a few?
All the time thinking that I just need to do continue,
doing my duties well, and life’s page would turn something new.

You may ask me, "'Sez who?"

What is the purpose of life,
Why should Nature bring us such strife!

Thinking that it would be quite a splendour,
Experience makes him realize that it is a blunder!

The taste lies not in the sourness at the beginning, in a gooseberry,
Just a silly line to rhyme with the strawberry.

Why all this – what is the purpose of life –
Just when you are about to realize –

Talking of the tsunami,
Makes everyone think of their Abirami!

The guy at his chair is pulling out his hair,
Just can’t wait enough to become the heir!

God knows what’s happening to my head –
Have had enough of this – am ready to drop down dead!
