An Empty Cup Said “Bottoms Up”

This was a poem dedicated to me by Naresh , my colleague. There it was - An empty cup of steaming foam Today I’ll tell you what I have had enough It’s something that has made me assume I’m tough In mysterious ways it has worked on my nerves As a hot beverage that’s poured in a cup of curves At times, it’s nothing less than boiling wine For the taste and texture are just fine Too late to regret as it’s gone in my DNA….or deeper I’ve found that I’m no longer a great sleeper Now watch it well, if you ask me what it was called I’ll spill it on your head and make you bald I was never too close to mention about the damned drink It’s a coffee, made to lift you and not sink This is my first poem and is dedicated to an ardent coffee lover who was a coffee bean herself in her past life. It’s none other than Am Ma’m.

Happy Birthday Sir :)

My colleague Vivek and I composed this poem together for our CTO’s birthday. When our air conditioner caught fire one day Ankit Sir came running to our bay As we ran helter skelter in fear He bravely put it out with the extinguisher Ankit Sir stands tall by accomplishing great deeds While always fulfilling his organization’s needs Humble, often carrying a gentle smile He’s a mentor to all, young and senile Virus, Trojans and Scammers beware! Because he can even trounce ‘Ransomware’ Stop wondering why our servers are never down It’s because Ankit sir is always in town

A Letter To My Dad

I penned this letter to my Dad a few months after he passed away. Here goes… It has been 8 months since you left but I still can't bring myself to accept the fact that you are gone forever. Everyday I think of ways of how I can bring you back. It makes me want to scream when I realize that it is not possible. All I end up doing is cry till my eyes hurt. When you left, you took a part of me with you. Nobody and nothing can ever fill the void left in my heart by your loss. I am sorry for not telling you each day how much I loved you. Sometimes, I used to wonder if you had superpowers because you somehow managed to do the most impossible tasks with utmost ease. All of this just to bring a smile on my face. You played multiple roles - best drinking buddy, most patient shopping & day-out partner. This is why I called you my Superman and you shall always continue to remain my hero. Although I can no longer see you, I can still feel you guiding and supporting me in my...
