Thank you, Vyomster

There were no sparks that flew
When we first met.
The opposites attracting thing
Hadn't happened yet.

But there was this one time at CO's
November 14, 2004.

To the boys she was the local Megan Fox
Weird girl, she loved that stupid Miffy box.
Thank you for sharing your tiffin with me.
5-foot-8 and hair poker straight
Pooj, just be your whimsical self, she said.
Thank you for always playing pillar to me.

Throw up, whoever thought of
Cooking Pasta in Maggi?
Where's the camera? Laugh and point
At the boy in the red kurti.

Quite a dork she is really
Studying like nobody's business.
One of the few people who know
What to do when I'm in a mess.

Got a best friend all thanks to Chesbo,
November 14, 2004.

To the boys she is the local Megan Fox
To my Jen Aniston she is Couteney Cox.
Thank you for sharing your secrets with me.
5-foot-8 and hair poker straight
Pooj, just be your whimsical self, she said.
Thank you for always playing pillar to me.

Just Yet

I stepped out of the church,
There you were dressed in blue.
Hadn't seen you in a while,
Forgot I'd decided to be mean to you.

Quite a paradox it was really,
Seeing Jesus and Satan in the same frame.
Never having learned to be nasty like you,
I smiled real wide when you called out my name.

Your hair and soul the same old mess,
You're one person I keep trying to forget.
Had hoped I would be famous before we met next,
It's sad I'm not the CEO of Coca Cola just yet.

My naughtiness having always been malice-free,
I never got why you played China to my Tibet.
Wished the news channels helped you keep tabs on me,
But they don't call me the next Barkha Dutt just yet.

Your core competencies and claws drawn out,
When I said 'Arts' you smiled like you just won a bet.
While I'm having a déjà vu, you enjoy your moment,
For you see, I've not won an Oscar just yet.

Our thirty years age difference meaning nothing to you,
On giving me and my girls hell you were set.
The next time we meet you're going to know what I've been up to,
Guess what? Angelina Jolie hasn't adopted me just yet.
