NOW

If day before yesterday was thunder 

And yesterday a flower 

Tomorrow could be fire 

Day after tomorrow, just a flat tyre

Blends of fleeting feelings 

leaving one drained and bored 

Today is the greatest time to soar 

For this moment is the peakest place to be 

Before the next one puts you in your pyre.

Mangoed

When Rumani told langra to stop feeling bad 
While Alphonso cast his pride.
Dussheri was lost in her own sweetness
Just then Neelam basked in her glory 
Mankurad was busy in homes of the Golden Coast 
where the sun never got enough kissing the beaches
Kilichundan dreamt of luring thothapuri
As if it wasn't enough, Badami got carried away by Safeda 
Himsagar, Fazli and Kishanbog loved engaging their Bengal audience 
And Chausa got bowled over by Amrapali who gracefully dipped the nation in her utterly sweet grace!
As I sit here ecstatic with my Banganpalli and Mallika 
Thinking of bringing vanraj and paheri home
Gulab khaas just pinched my brain as a reminder
Such harmonising play of uniqueness United with distinct flavors
Oh man! I just could get 'Mangoed', you know!!
