It Was Love When

or on snow clad terrains

in dark trenches

or gloomy vast avalanches

in deep blue sea,white dessert or bay

he made sure his country, shall free always stay

even laying down his life in a spree

he has sworn to keep his motherland free

Choose It Black Always, But Why?

They say when in doubt choose black, the question now is why is it black?
What The Black? is the question.

Because black has been eternally bold and beautiful. If this is not enough a reason there are plenty more to choose black. . .

CHOOSE THE BLACK ALWAYS, BUT WHY? 

 

It will make you look adorable at any age

It will never go out of trend

It Was Love When # 2

It Was Love When

you signed my report card,

when I fared bad in exam

even though I fought with you hard,

you always helped me stay calm

when late you are my alarm,

you signed my leave notes

when I bunk my class,

but I have to pay bribes to you alas!!!

Aao Jodey Dilon Ko

There are numerous benefits of being born in a joint family and one of the most important of it is that you have souls from many generations breathing under a single roof. With that it brings a lot of things from the older generations spread on platter for display and experience for the new generation. The usual suspects are music, movies and fashion.

MY NAMESAKE FOR GOD

Fifteenth day of this year’s National Poetry Writing Month. Today’s optional prompt for today is to write a poem that is a little something I’m calling “Twenty Questions.” The idea is to write a poem in which every sentence, except for the last one, is in the form of a question. That’s it! It can be as long or short as you like. The questions can be deep and philosophical (‘what is the meaning of life?’) or routine and practical (‘are you going to eat that?’). Or both!
