On Saroj’s Birth Day

Hey NITRAN Seventy

at Bangalore city

Ashok, Murthy Baikuntha,

Srinivas, Kulkarni srikant

celebrate the birthday party

hosted by Madam Minakshi Tripathy

for her Saroj, the hubby darling

on his seventy second spring

A choice of menu and venue, you can force upon,

may be at Karavalli, the Wwindsar,Ssaforn or pavilion.

Choices are many unlike our back post and check post

as for her spouse’s friend, Madam will love to host

as a token of appreciation peeping in her heart for you

with whom her such a lovely unscratched husband grew

whom birth after birth she cherishes to make her own

not because that known devil is better than unknown

but because her husband’s friends pray and recommend it

“ As such a madam to our dear friend is to all our benefit.”

Saroj may agree or disagree, we bulldoze him

Without Minakshi his life thus spent would have been at luck’s whim.

we from distance join with you to pray in a chorus

“ Saroj and Meenakshi to stay happy, healthy, wealthy and prosperous.

The subsequent reevaluation is not for you Minakshi Madam

as this is a message for a friend from an old ager friend in delirium.

“Hey, Friend Saroj! On this day I remember

to you Sober’s catch Anju Mahendru’s letter

that you proudly displayed to us in hostel three

many such incidents told untold float within me

those I refrain to reveal on this day

as it may irate the madam and put you on dismay

But I keep it now secret from your loving life partner.

expecting on the next birth full chicken at our Alma-mater.
