The year has come to a close.
To sum up my feelings I chose.


Anna Hazare and his 12+-day fast.
Kasab (in jail) still having a blast !
Kate Middleton and Prince William’s wedding –grand.
Viewed by the world, this happening in England.



Music, countless firecrackers, the sky did gleam.
When the World Cup was won; courtesy: the Indian Cricket Team.
The 10th anniversary of the unforgettable, dreadful 9/11.
So many great personalities found their way to heaven.



Lots of bickering later, the Lokpal Bill they tried to pass.
Spying everywhere, the media, hordes of wealth did amass.
Forced to watch Ra.One , tears were shed.
Our Page-3ers – many chose to wed.

Metallica’s India performance- bookings chock-a-bloc.
The concert just had all in for a rude shock.
MI4 – Indian locations Tom did cruise.
Saddening was extra tax on Booze.

Vijay Mallya’s Airline in the dumps.
2011 fashion was sporting baby bumps.
A nuclear disaster in Japan.
People lost many of their clan.

Kolaveri Di taking the world by storm.
Protests world-over seemed to be the norm.
A US –well planned mission, Osama bin Laden was killed.
Gadaffi overthrown –Libya and the world were thrilled.


Hit end had Steve Job’s clock.
Then, his biography all out of stock.
The end mourned by every Harry Potter lover.
Far away Earth-like planets they did discover.

2011- So much happened this year.
Sorrow, hope , happiness and fear.
Gained, some lost- people dear.
The world’s connected – so far yet so near.
We’re all now just awaiting 2012 here!!

Leaves of red and orange – the month of fall.
I’ve thought it over and taken a call.
Call it crazy capering or love – true.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you.



A sudden impulse or was it pondered over a lot?
Ask not me – for I just know not!!
I’ve done the thinking, gathered my every thought.
Laid it out for you – your decision is sought!



It’s just you & me & a cold winter night.
You are the prettiest thing in sight.
With you by my side, all feels right .
You fill my world, with your glow so bright.
Wrap my arms around you, hold tight .



A sailing boat-you&me- over the sea’s calm we traverse.
A cobbled stone road- you&me- a horse –drawn hearse.
Your hair flying out behind you , in the gentle breeze.
It’s never ending-you&me- being one-never will cease.



Gather you into my arms and never let go.
Hold your hand, walk you to nowhere, quiet & slow.
Gaze deep into your meaningful brown eyes.
Couldn’t let go even with a million tries.



We lay on the grass- gazing at the twinkling stars.
Your intoxicating fragrance - like spring's newest flowers.
Watch your rosy lips move when you talk, as if in sing-song.
Gently pressed over mine, that is just where they belong.



To hear me out on this long-drawn verse, you chose.
I believe it's time now to pitch this at a close.
I've been singing endlessly, it's now time to let you take charge of the mystery !
I love you, girl . There's just one question now : Will you Marry me ?? !
