Missing - Swetha, 26

my senior in BEC, Trivs' roomy, open-armed, friend of all, pretty, pleasant, with rupunzel's hair, fun loving, a kid when we play, and a guide when we don't, makes the lasses jealous and the lads miserable.

Whenever I imagine a snapshot of my college days, swetha will sure be there teasing about the cat-fights of bhavani and me or having the intellectual discussions with vichi. But I fear something must have happened to her. She deleted her orkut account and disabled yahoo account. I searched for her in some popular communities. No clue. I don't have any other means to send her the birthday wishes.

If you come across my friend swetha(swetha kolli) in future, send my wishes and warm regards to her. In case, she still wants to be hideous, let her be so. but do give her my message that there is someone wishing her the best in life.

Keep off my mind

Keep off my mind

before I sleep.
I shut my eyes but
cannot stop recollecting,
rewinding the days of yore.

Keep off my mind
in the middle of the night.
I don't want to dream of you
and sob in the dark.

Keep off my mind
when I wake up in the morning.
I cannot skip your thought
and move on.

Cane Juice

walking down the street
with you my beloved.

pushing myself for an approach shot
and not to foozle anymore,

gripping my guts to tell you
one more time,

getting ready to defend myself
for worthiness to be of you,

I let you to take me off my mission
and utter things to myself.

walking down the street
to have the cane juice.

In the name of you

Another sleepless night
in the name of you.

With no haste
to show you off
that my love is true.

With no desire
to track the sign
you reciprocate.

With no self-blaming
that I couldn't be nowhere
near you expected.

With a feeling, incomplete
that I cannot do
all that I want to.
and letting that invisible superbeing
rule my world.

Here is..
another sleepless night.

Odour of OD

There are two kinds of government officials I knew.

One will be obedient and friendly. A sign for the demand of smiling Bapus for nothing. If he smiles more, it means more smiles of Bapu are needed. According to my brother's observation, he/she will be in surf-excel white khaddar shirt/saree, chewing the pan in the most ugliest way and will ask you for a talk at the tea shop nearby. But I don't quite agree with my brother, for I was surprised by a most simple and honest looking person recently.

Other kind are sulky in their own way, making you run around the departments and at the last, showing the timings sign board, even if you get delayed by a minute just to satisfy their provoked feelings and insults from the higher officials or from the family. There will be a bunch of them, who will be ready to laugh at you, for the unnoticeable things like an unbuttoned collar, worn out knee or a common misspelling. Their general feeling is that, their job is not their responsibility but just out of their kindness and pity, they are doing you this favor.
