Unfinished flow

Unfinished flow

 

Hey Ishani!

thoughts twine

head spins

to pen a few lines

for you, to draft

out of my heart

as we move apart

to bless you to start

your home sweet

a sought after feat

cherished by every man

shun it only a sage can

as your AG uncle

a unique call, me to buckle

on its own charisma

more than your papa and mama.

At Lord, I bow

as thoughts flow.

As a baby in the cuddle

Gudu the sweet cute angel

how could you rule over

others beyond your mother?

Now, cast that same magic

over your new family fabric.

As Gudu with inquisitive look

in every heart, a place you could book

Repeat the same posture

love and bondage you to foster

with in-laws’ kith and kin.

Pray lord, their hearts you win.

What a charming was the girl

with new robes on her to marvel

when Gudu went to first time to the  stage,

awed us, her grace, joy and courage.

Reincarnate Gudu in you

to your parents and in-laws to view.

The world is a stage, each is an actor

please with your role, its supreme director.

There at the dance, Gudu’s swing and swirl

clapped the audience “ Wonderful is the girl”.

At your new home excel over Gudu’s role

be a lovely Gudu to the family as a whole.

Gudu being the only daughter

my thoughts often peeped in her

with my spite and her fight and moan

on the luxury and misery of being alone

no elder sibling to bribe and to order

no younger to obey her as master and mentor

none to share candy, joy and sorrow

and headache to parents to settle a row

Now Gudu will get them in one or plenty

as it expands with expanding the family limit

those calls bind many in Indian in one frame.

scoring over the west where they call by name

With proxy your parents’ endeavor

Gudu had not seen in pain, the pleasure,

nor the cruelty of masculinity winks in her

as no brother could break her doll’s finger.

Lucky is Gudu being born as a girl child

as in it, love, mercy, endurance stay compiled

Without a woman, even God does not exist

that Kaushalya,yossadhara Devaki proved it

Your weakness is lack of trainings on masculinity

caused by the absence of a brother with you to fight

but as a true student of modern management

you can reverse the SWOT and implement it.

Many thoughts compete to catch your attention

but I as a mundane man dare not preach you a sermon

By your exposure, expertise you are miles ahead

“ Be truthful to yourself” to you that only I can plead.
