I wonder where it all began
from lousy talks to future plans
from a hi to night long chats
I know beloved,
we have come a long way!
I ponder how somebody unknown
could become the most important
the transition from a stranger to beloved
jus slipped off unnoticed...
I wish I cud jus go back in time
to re live each of those moments..
right from the day
we became friends..
I remember that day
when u came and sat beside me
u wudnt let me read
a big chatter box that u are..
I looked at u bemused
jus thinkin.. wat a wierdo..
I was unimpressed
I never realised then..
this guy was soon gonna be..
my obsession for life...
my very reason for existence..
My biggest gift in all these years
its u, my beloved!!
I then never imagined
that my guy for life has arrived
who wud drive me desperate when away,
stress me out in his presence,
wud give me a pleasure so immense,
bring in laughter,
wipe out grief,
and bring in new dimensions
to a life that seemed aimless
There is no bigger present
than to be a part of ur present
I wanna be near..
beside u forever..
to see u grow
to see u succeed
to see u make it big
I will be right there ..
smiling back at u from a distance
with joy beyond all bounds..
and screaming out aloud
Thats my man!!

My first take at poetry!
I wish you knew..
How it felt like
To be close to you
and still be afar
To know you
and still not know you
People often say..
with time you get to know someone well
But with me
you were pretty unfair
cus you were close and still made me wonder
if you were anythin more than a stranger..
Its true that I tried to impress
No deed is selfless
I wish I had found a better way to say..
U mean so much..
accept me for life..
But that still doesnt justify as to why
you had to put up that fake pretence
to show that you were heartless
and that nothing whatsoever made a difference
I knew it right then
The more I came close
the more far fetched it seemed
you cant be mine
I then realized..
As days go by
I can't help but wonder
If you were just a passing cloud
I think out aloud
you could have told me straight
It doesnt really make sense..
To blame my fate
was loving you that big an offense?
With eyes wide open
you still couldnt see
my heart,my pain,my love,my anger
you cudnt care less
could you..
well now its a thing of the past
but still somewhere it hurts immeasureably
to have loved and lost....

The Great South Indian Logic!
We as South Indians have our own way of interpreting things. We have this funny habit of making a few rules which actually do not have any basis, no associated theory or facts as proof, but then are enforced on us in such a way that we have no choice but to accept them and associate with some kinda logic of our own, which in the end actually looks as if it was something deeply analysed and hence concluded upon.So here we go!
Logic 1:
If there is an elder brother in the family and he has a love marriage, it will not hav much effect on the younger brother. If there is an elder sister in the family and she has a love marriage, the future of the younger one is doomed.It will imply that u r not from a good family.
Future of the younger sister is directly proportional to the present and past of the elder sis.
Logic 2:
U r expected to have kids as soon as u get married(i mean as soon as possible!), But even before the day of your marriage, u r expected to be a goody-two-shoes.It is wrong even if you go out on a date with the guy you are engaged to.
A female is known to be homely, if she has zero knowledge of sexual intercourse and other related stuff.But boom, after one month of marriage u (I mean the girl :P) should get pregnant! otherwise something is wrong!
The more dumb you are, the more homely you are considered to be! Hopeless logic, huh!
Logic 3:
Complicated relationships(Cheeni kum kind or say some tamil movie with a story line similar to that of life in a metro) and glamour are accepted only in small and big screens. I have to make a special mention of a mallu soap here,which am sure all mallus watch(thts wat my granny told me:P)where all the characters are married and have kids, but there is some confusion about who is who's kid. The whole story line is about which character had an affair with whom, why and when. The whole soap is about sorting out who belongs to whom. A soap which questions the very basis of an individual's existence.The wierdest soap ever.I know, its too wierd to be real.
In reality, south Indians believe that such things dont even exist on earth. Whatever happens on screen happens only on screen. Anything other than what happens around them is either virtual or impossible.
The idea of this write up is not to criticise south Indians. All that I wanna say is that they have such beautiful and out of box perceptions.They are undoubtedly humorous people.There is such a lot of cultural influence in the way they look at and do things, which I should say is truly amazing! I have not seen anybody respect one's tradition and values so much like the south Indians do. Am proud to be a southie! Or shall I put it this way.. May be there is much more to their complicated logic which my small brain is unable to decipher. Come on, we should look at all possibilities!!
