W...W...W: Vasudev Shyam

(This poem is for Vasudev Shyam, son of my dear friend Jyothi Shyam)

Towering taller, soaring higher, flying farther

Head held high.

While you go places smelling success,

Lost in the World Wide Web, you may be

Dreaming in our own world, we too shall be.

While we resume dreaming

Even as we are doodling

One fine morning, we wake up yawning,

Up from bed we spring, dawning

“Hey, where on earth is v…dev?”

Hear, hear

Here comes the voice of …Vasu

“Just go googling ‘www’,

And read me up there under

“World’s Who’s Who!

Glittering Stars Waiting For You

(A poem I penned for my family friend Rahul Kayala)

Standing tall, Rising high

Aiming for the sky

Reaching for the stars

As you grow tall,

Taller and the tallest of all

May the sky come down

May they reach you

Oh those glittering stars in the sky.

Standing taller, flying farther

Head held high

May you go places

Tasting success

When you reach the pinnacle

It shall be no miracle

For reaching there cannot be

Sans The Sacred Revolution

Against countless debacles.

The secret to your hitherto success

Oh those keywords, in the midst of

The whirl of words during our chat.

“Can you tell us more?” our silent request;

“Can you please understand,

The time I now have on hand, I just can’t juggle,

Can you simply google”, you say with a giggle.

We return home beaming, yet buckling,

Off to bed, did you go chuckling?

Thank you Rahul, you are beautiful,

The time spent with you, that was wonderful.

Oops, for the “beautiful” feminine adjective!

Thank you Rahul, you are indeed handsome

Precious time you spared for us,

That was truly awesome!
