Hi Friends, This is a small poem I and my friend Bhuppi (he's now in Indian Intelligence and so I am giving his nick name) created in Class X. The backdrop of this poem is interesting viz. we were taking tuitions from a private tutor and there were different boys and girls batches. We would leave our books beneath our teachers table so that the tutor may not have difficulty for next day and also we would not have to carry them. We would leave small messages in our books for the girls to read (like beauty and brain never go together and the girls would leave, only the foolish and the dead never change their opinion; in all, just small messages to tease each other) and they for us in their books. We would definitely look for their books the next day. Now it was their farewell day and we knew that one girl (Kriti) had won the Miss. St. Mary’s crown and she was studying her tuitions with us. We, with our intelligence (common knowledge for boys to know what happened in the girl's college that day) knew that question posed to her before her crowning was "What would you do if you are in the middle of the ramp and your sandal's heel breaks"; She answered "I would call it the 'latest fashion'". So we (I and Bhuppi) wrote a poem to commemorate her success. The lines I like to share with u are:-
God break my heels So that I may break my teeth And have watery meals And with utter shame To fulfil her lust for fame, She will call it the ‘latest fashion’ To be a part of others passion And look as irritating as ever, And the familiar charming, never That I have died for and ever. At Standard X we would not have a good vocabulary (Although Standard X students now have a much better vocabulary to flaunt these days). But times change!!
