For a girl named ... Aditi

During the night and all throughout the day

When I’m asleep or even when I’m awake

A name that pumps my crazy heart

It’s you Aditi, who makes me start

Makes me to start believing

             That you are present somewhere around

I could sense your fragrance in the air

             And your touch, that is so profound

The swirling wind when blows through my face

I could see your image, of elegance and grace

Please come in front and please don’t hide

It’s you Aditi, and I’m waiting for your stride

A subtle glance of yours

             Through the mist of the dawn

A smile beyond imagination

             For a heart that’s lovelorn

I’m searching for you, to share those secret glances

An effort to meet you, to increase my own chances

Through this hazy mist all through, I wish I could see your eyes

For it is you Aditi, after every stumble I rise

Rise again with a mind full of questions

             Rise again with a heart full of desire

I really need to ask who you are

             Who aroused in me a dormant fire

I’m going crazy day by day in your imagination

Every beat of my heart seems to be a new creation

What a beautiful magic I find in your name

Oh my dear Aditi, you’ll completely make me insane

I wish I could live my life in this magic

             Be it dream, or be it reality

I only wish to meet you once

             And I don’t expect anything in totality

Please don’t go away; I would be hurt and sad

Not bcoz you left me, but bcoz this world would think me mad

Prove to this world that your existence is not fake

There is a girl named Aditi, who would come for my sake

Oh come out from my imagination and show me where you are

Hold my hand and say you are here, and never would you go afar

Oh come out from my imagination & show me your pretty face

I promise you Aditi, my love would never give you disgrace.

Deutsch Lernen

The first day Deutsch entered my life

The day I first visited Max Mueller

I never expected things would take such a turn

That I would end up being a nursery Schűler

Sitting in the Klassenzimmer

Reiterating eins zwei drei

I went back to my childhood

Where A, B, C were worth giving a try

I tried to gain all the information

I really tried hard to concentrate

But confusions overruled under no compulsion

I could not pronounce a word straight

Such was the state of my mind

I was praying for the class to be fertig

Constantly looking at my watch

That when it would be evening seiben-ur-dreiβeg

I ran back home that day

But the next day was entirely different

I had the antwort for every frage

All of a sudden Deutsch became interresant

Now…

I realized the advantage of being a novice

At times you could be falsch, at times you could be richtig

No girl is going to sue you

Even if you take your chances with “Ich liebe dich”

So the second day was better

As I was trying to do all the aűsfulen

Danke der Lehrenin

Who made us do the wiederholung

Aber, I was living in my own dream world

Thinking about the girls from Műnchen

Learnt enough Deutsch to frame the satz

Du hast schőn grűne Augen!

Well…

Grűne Augen? Difficult to find in Kalkutta

Need to find a wort for black

Before Deutsch becomes so Global

That every girl now keeps a track

At last, we thank Frau Moitra

Who took us to Wir from Ich

Aber, we only have one problem

She always says, “Schreiben Sie nicht!!”
