If I ever say goodbye
Please don’t ask me, why???
But if ever you do the same,
I’ll readily take all the blame
If ever I decide to forget you,
I’ll erase your memory too
But if ever you do the same,
I’ll see to it you never forget my name!!
If ever in life we meet
I guess the memories would be sweet
But if destiny has something else in store
That certainly would be sweeter, I’m sure!!!

Happinezz…
Like fragrance
That spreads all around
It grips you
Leaving you spell bound
It might come in the sizes
Large, medium and small
Yet it is something
That fits one and all
It isn’t exactly contagious
And you ought to acquire it
Simply by kicking out sorrow
From your life’s emotional kit
A smile becomes a grin
Which then bursts into laughter
You really got to experience it
To know what comes thereafter
Once you do understand it
You’ll certainly agree with me
How wonderful it is
To keep smiling and be happy!!

Friendship…an illusion??
Priorities changed & so did you,
Our talks veered,
The animosity grew
Amazed and horrified, I looked on
Pondering deeply,
Where had I gone wrong?
Across the road you stood, the gap widened
All my past memories
Now left me saddened
My tears dried, for the eyes bled
Remembering the moments,
Those words you once said
Getting accustomed, to your absence
Something I never did dream
But as friendship seems an illusion today…
That’s the only thing, making sense!!!

My broomstick fantasy…
Reading a Harry potter book
I imagined myself on a broom,
Not to play quidditch
But to go around the world, zoom!!
I did a push off,
Voila! I was now in the air.
Flying a broom seemed effortless,
It simply needed… a bit of flair!!
Over the Middle East I traveled
And in no time reached London.
Enthralled by all the sights,I thought
Living here must be such fun!!
Next I wished to see Paris and Eiffel tower
But strangely landed up at Roland Garros.
Federer had just emerged triumphant
Beating a guy…whose name’s pretty obvious!!
Waving the champion goodbye, I headed for Egypt
Where I marveled at the ancient pyramid
I then bid adieu to the African desert
Considering where next my voyage would lead!!
The broom covered long distances
And soon the U.S of A was in sight
But suddenly something shook me up
I fell off my broom, in fright!!
Mom stood nearby, smiling at me
Eyeing the broom in my hand.
I too stared at it in utter disbelief
For such a situation hadn’t been planned!!

I’ll dream…I’ll do!!
A free bird is what
I’ve always longed to be
Breaking away from the confines
Of an uncertain mind
Wanting to reach out
To the world surrounding me
Sky being my limit
I hope to reach great heights
Striving harder with each new day.
Taking criticism in my stride
I am now ready to create days
From the dark and dreary nights…
My dreams are big
Quite different from the rest
I seek to usher in a new tomorrow.
Standing out from the crowd
I aim to become better
Of course better, than the very best!!

I Love Cooking???
Mum called me into the kitchen
Thus, my nightmare began
Cooking was one thing
Off which, I had kept my hands!!
“Here, chop these onions,
& Cut the potatoes square";
As mum gave the orders
The knife stared saying “Beware”
With a scowl on my face
I picked up the damn knife,
What luck! Wasn’t anything else,
Left in life??
Unwillingly I did the whole job
Barely saving my thumb, once or twice
But wait, the ordeal wasn’t over
I still had to cook the rice.
The stove looked sinister too
So I eyed it cautiously
How I hated this business
Words won't express that properly.
I was at wits end
Till all cooking was done,
“Eating is much easier,” I thought
while cooking isn’t half the fun!!!”

Licence to Blunder!!!!!!!!
The following isn’t a part of my imagination but has been ‘word to word’ and ‘spelling to spelling’ copied from the “Form of application for renewal of driving licence”
“Medical certificate in respect of an applicant for renewal of driving licence”
This is the part 2 of the form:
To be filled by a registered medical prectinor appoined the purpose by the government or persons authorised in this benaif by the state government:
After the usual name, address and date of birth entries…here comes the real thing-
1.Is the application to be best of your judgement subject to epliasay veetigo or mental adment likely to effect his dificency? Yes/no
2.Dose the applicant suffer from any hurt or lung disorde with might interefer with the performance of his duties driver? Yes/no
3.Is there any defect of vision? Is so has been corrected by suitable spectable?
Yes/no
4.Can the applicant suffer ready distinguish the pigmantry colur red & green?
Yes/no
5.Dose the applicant suffer from a degree of deafness with would prevent this
meaning the ordinary sound signal? Yes/no
6.Does the applicant suffer from in the blindness? Yes/no
7.Has the applicant any deformity or loss member with would inter for with the emidient yariomance of has duties & deliver is so given you reasoning detail?
Yes/no
8.Does the shown any drive of being addited to excessive use of alcohal to because or drugs? Yes/no
9.What is the night of the applicant? Do you consider that hight will diseve geous for his to have octer vision of the road while driving? Yes/no

Yes/no
13.Is he able to distinguish with eash eye at distance of 25 metters good day light motor date? Yes/no
14. If he is your opining general danger to the public? Yes/no
It took me two readings to know what it all really meant. The first time I burst out laughing but as soon as I realised the relevance of the thing I was bewildered.
The RTO was going down the drain…was what I thought!
Who should be held responsible for this??
Well, the spelling mistakes could be overlooked keeping in mind the fact that maybe it was written by someone who had little/no knowledge about English…but then isn’t this reviewed by any higher authority??
My mind was brimming with these questions …and then I got the point.
This was INDIA.
Most of the government departments are going down the drain…it was just that this RTO thing had caught my notice.
Come to think of it…there are greater issues to be addressed, aren’t there??…Mistakes in a driving licence form hardly matter…
The day they do matter, INDIA would be a transformed nation…
And we won’t mind saying this from the bottom of our hearts…Mera Bharat Mahaan!!
