islands of laze

on a sunday unremarkable
was i up at three ---uh oh trouble!!
playing chaperone or rather willing host,
cuz generally the sun beats me to the post!
my paper's supplied by the 12.00 plane,
and i pick it up goggle..mumble..complain!!

but this day was rather different as u know,
headed for vypeen island --a fishermans cove!!
nah!its actually huge and quite mysterious,
cause at 11.00 history merges with us!!

loitered idly along an idyllic coastline,
watched gigantic fishing nets and strung twine,
TIME i mentioned the cats of this (is)land
beaten up yet they dont wait off your hand
proud felines pass thru many wars
the fights for fish ever so sparse

and the isles live on.....ever preen,
willingdon,cochin,gundu,bolghatty even vypeen,
and so many others out yonder! lush and green,
reminds me why KERALA is the RHYMONSTERS scene



GREETINGS RHYMONSTER

well what do yaaaaaaaa know........some one is blogging reaaaaaaaal gud.........saale mallu kitne khak e shayari likhega........thoda aur le.......hindi me.......
Tu mere dil mein aise samaayi hai
Jaise baajre ke khet mein bhains ghus aayi hai
Ai husn ki mallika aur baharon ki shaan
Jai jawan jai kisan

Joron ki baarish Makes me wonder
Is this what they call, Taste the thunder?

Yeh aankhen hain ya neeli jheel?
Yeh aankhen hain ya neeli jheel?
So? What's the big deal?

Dharti, taarey, pahaad, patthar
Dharti, taarey, pahaad, patthar........
Ekhathar, bahathar, chauhathar !
(tihathar is on leave)

Door se dekha to kuchh dikha nahi.....
Dooor se dekhaaa... to kuchh dikha nahi.....
Paas jake dekhaa to kuchh tha hi nahi

Door se dekha to Patthar dikhta tha.....
Dooor se dekha... to Pattharr dikhtaa thaa.....
Paas jake dekha to... suchmuch Patthar hi thaa...

Door se dekha to sher tha
Door se dekha to sher tha
Is liye paas gaya hi nahi...

Dooor se dekha to paani baras raha tha
Dooor se dekha to paani baras raha tha
Paas gaya... to bheeg gaya...

Khudi ko kar buland itnaa....
Ke' Himaalay ki choti pe jaa pahunche....
aur khuda tumse puche....
'Abe saale .... ab utrega kaise '

Agar tujh mein himmat hai
To kutub minaar ko hila kar dikha,
Aur agar nahin, to mere paas baeth,
Do ghoont maar,
Aur Kutub minar ko ! hilta hua dekh
