U can call her mom


The lovely little baby,

a micro mini creation,

asked God, tons of questions

with initial hesitation


Now u wish to send me,

to a world so amazing!

How do I manage there?,

in rush of human beings


You've to have faith in me, 

I’ve chosen, a fairy superb

to guide u, to ably tackle,

your anxiety, heart throbs


Baby casually confessed,

here I hardly do anything

mumble dulcet songs,

always keep on smiling

what I need to do there,

be open, make it clear


Your fairy will sing for u,

sweet mesmeric lullaby

recite the lines with her,

with jovial smile, my baby


Sing, smile n' go to sleep,

care not for d' odd things

leave it for d’ care taker,

she's most capable being


world so huge, eventful,

countless topics to talk

I feel entirely forsaken,

how to start, where to stop?


Same fairy's d' answer,

made of lot of patience

she'll take ample care,

dispel your ignorance


Make u sit in her lap,

with loads of love

enrich words in your lips,

the dialect people talk

Missing items she’ll locate,

smashed ones’ fast replace

art of walking she'll train,

grasping delicate hands


Baby again asked God,

"any further clarification

whom do I, ask on earth,

you'll be in the heaven"


Already given d’ clue,

same fairy will answer

How to pray Almighty,

with hands put together

explain u the way God,

answers children's prayer


Will read your mind too,

all needs, she'll discern

forget this heaven fully,

her lap hundred heavens



If you appear too upset,


tell d' tale of duck & baby


how d' pony came home,


bear chased by honey bee 


Now its d’ infant’s turn,

to show li’l apprehension

I learnt, world u meant,

packed with rowdy persons


Who to save me then,

how to maintain calm?

She too be your savior,

hide underneath her arm
Who ever wants to harm,

shield u from those guys

Her eyes will get loaded,

to see tear in your eyes


Now, time to go to earth,

hurriedly d' baby asked,

by what name I'll call her,

from you, not yet heard



Oh my dear tiny tot!,

bless u with d’ freedom

let her name be X.Y..Z,

you can call her mom


She'll bear enough pain,

yet wait, for a welcome

why so eager for d' name,

U can call her mom

Same PIZZA, from a different angle


As usual,

d’ pizza was delivered

in minutes, to d’ address

from where it was ordered
Alluring, golden brown,


hot, enticing flavor


to munch it, relish it


can’t wait any more

But.........................


Wished, one more look


from a different angle


each piece aroused,


enormous puzzle

To visit her daughter,

maid took 3 days off

for the festive occasion,

Mrs. paid her Rs.500 bonus

For the trouble caused,


sought my co-operation


an earnest appeal made,


to cope with d’ situation

I gave her a querying look,

and wished to object

its no little amount,

for nothing she had spent

Diwali, d’ only occasion,


right time for a bonus


benefits not sanctioned


any time, if someone wish

Virtually from our mouth

a pizza delicacy got snatched

before granting her wish,

u never bothered to ask

 Maid resumed duties today,


a lingering smile in face


mumbling a lot of praise,


for my generous mistress
Began giving, an account

of her entire spent

of d' precious amount,

her employer happily gave

Vacation trip too satisfying!


glee in d' face, overflowing


Dusting, mopping, narration


in non-stop way, going on

"Met my daughter, grandson

d’ vacation did fully enjoy"

Gratitude got spilled out,

of her two talkative eyes
Rs 150, for d’ boy’s garment,


rupees 40 for his doll


Bought sweets worth 50 Rs


fifty offered to deity in temple


Rs 25 to buy daughter’s bangles

Rs 60 for, to and fro bus fair

bought a belt for son-in-law,

for Rs 50, from d’ village fair
Surplus money, 75 rupees


handed over to daughter


to buy my little grandson,


note book, pencil, eraser

She evidently gathered,

tremendous pleasure

can’t be equated with

8 pieces of Pizza, if I devour


In silence I computed,


each spent she narrated


the total was of course,


exactly Rs five hundred

Saw from a different angle,

trying genuinely to assess

if pizza slices, equivalent to

that amount of happiness !
