Childhood

On a rainy day,
Children with paper boats play,
Enjoying with all their heart,
The scenic beauty, the divine Art.

Alas I can't do the same, I restrain,
For me the rain's an added pain.

On a snowy day,
With Christmas not far away,
Children hold snowball fights grand,
Grateful for the weather at hand.

Alas I can't do the same, I restrain,
The snow's bad just like the rain.

Despite trying, envy these kids I must,
As they play in while I brush off the dust.
For they enjoy life to the full, unrestrained,
Making me wish I were a child once again.

Finally back again after a long (ok spelled looooooooong) hiatus :P, mostly health imposed, partly study imposed and a teeny weeny bit hard disk (or rather its lack of) imposed. Can't possibly summarize my entire month in here i guess...

oh i just might=> sleep, sleep, sleep, eat, sleep, watch tv, sleep...that's pretty much how the bed-rest portion of the period went...thankfully, i had great friends (and a constant supply of nagraj and super commando dhruv comics) to give me company during this rather boring span of time (i finally did realize sleep does become boring at some point of time) ...thanx guys for the support:)

the study period was an alternating cycle of study,sleep,study,sleep,...(you get the hang)

then finally disaster struck when my beloved hdd's glorious 4 years of existence came to an abrupt end...may she rest in peace and not be envious of the new one promptly purchased to replace her.

hey beautiful poem... but if you do really feel the restraint and the poem was not just sparks of metaphoric ingeniousness of your poetic brain, you can get in touch with the bacchha gang of my gali, they are much too wicked to let you keep that restrain :D
