Crazy

There's this

Friend of mine

Who's crazy

About sarees.


She has a

Huge stock

Of sarees.


She drapes

And models

Sarees.


She even

Sells sarees.


She's unlikely

To find a

Customer in

Me as I dislike

Wearing sarees.


I feel so much

At ease in my

Shorts, bermudas,

Leggings and

Pajamas, that I

Can't imagine

Myself wearing

Sarees.

Remain

Long after
People die,
Their words
And gestures
Remain with us,
As if what they said
And how they said -
Surrounds us like a
Perennial river that
Can never dry....
