Princess without Silver Spoon


Click click,

The Glitterati & Gifts

Dangles & Tiara,

Yummy deserts & Cuppie cakes,

Would fill her dinner plate,

Lingering in lap of luxury,

Daddy’s darling,

Her wish was world command,

Still she would reprimand, “Need World of my own!”,

She stepped on the journey to create one,

Make a name,

Without her existing fame,

It wasn’t easy,

Treacherous & tough,

 Scorching Sun, & relentless world.

Provoked her to give up,

But she was a tough cookie to crumble,

Buckled under pressure,

To shine bright in her own colors,

She fought day in & out, to carve a niche,

Soon hard work paid off, and world was at her feet,

She truly felt like a princess who won her kingdom & hearts of people around,

Now she embarks upon a new conquest,

To find someone who could rule her little kingdom.

Wishing her all the best!

PS:- This poem is dedicated to my friend Saifa who servers ( for lack of a better word) her last day at Citi tomorrow.

Life without Blackberry


Fingers run faster than Jordan,

Picking up thoughts,

Punching them on,

Oh love you my berry,

My whereabouts, my thoughts,

Connected to globe,

Disconnected from myself,  

Captivating the world,

Uploading them on a virtual one,

Hello & Hi, now is on my fingertips,

One fear, what if battery dies out?

45 min travel can be nightmarish in a tube,

How did we survive the 90’s when your ancestors were not born?

A desperate search for coins to dial a friend,

I remember typing without assistance,

I remember when I met friends face to face,

And books were meant for reading,

Never got a SOS mail at 12:00 am,

I remember I use to play ball every evening,

Now I hop on to some app, with mini gaming console,

Oh my berry!

Life without you is really scary,

Thanks for ,making my life nice & easy!
