Dear Roshni, many happy returns of the day
Hope you had a fabulous day
So happy to have you as a cousin
On the whole, a beautiful person!

Dear Roshni, many happy returns of the day
By nature, very lively
And blessed with oodles of talent
Your dancing is a sheer delight!!

Dear Roshni, many happy returns of the day
Your smile helps keep anxiety at bay
Playing games with you, loads of fun
Thanks to your sharp brain
You have a lot of potential
Come on, conquer them all!!

Dear Roshni, many happy returns of the day
May everything go your way
May you have a wonderful year ahead
To you, may the Lord always be kind
Hope to see you soon
Be the way you are, you amazing human!!
Poem dedicated to my cousin Roshni (actually more like my niece!!) for her 12th birthday today.
You people deserve not, any support
You do not even possess a heart
Your aim? destroy the world
My blood runs cold
On hearing about your actions
You'll ensure there's no peace!

You people deserve not, any support
Your actions mirror many a terrorist
No understatement, to call you evil
And you've the gall
To dictate terms to us
Is there any end to your avarice?

You people deserve not, any support
Those whom you claim to support
Are better off without your interference
You've wrecked so many nations
Killed millions of innocents
In you, lies not an iota of goodness!!

You people deserve not, any support
Destroyed have you, all trust
Have you any remorse
For your dastardly crimes
Or is it too much to expect?

You people deserve not, any support
In fact, you'll face our boycott
We play not, by your rules
And will put an end to this
So, back off and lay down your weapons
Resolve issues through dialogues
In check, must be your tempers
We DO NOT WANT WAR
We want NOBODY to SUFFER
So, please please STOP this MADNESS
For the sake of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!
As a World War III potentially looms, here is my message to US, Israel and their allies.

Thank you for being such a good friend
We have a really beautiful bond
A very supportive colleague, you were
Though sometimes, did you sound like a teacher
Understood me, did you, like almost no other
Hence, to me, are you quite dear!

Thank you for being such a good friend
Seldom, are you not kind
I so love your brutal honesty
In you, is there many a good quality
No wonder, are you such a good wife and mother
Vivek and you are an extremely sweet pair!!

Thank you for being such a good friend
Being at your home pleases me to no end
Truly, do I love your children
I forget all my pain
Whenever I think of them
Sure am I, that they would make you beam
Nearly all the time!!

Thank you for being such a good friend
Even after we both grow old
Will things remain the same
Well, hopefully soon should I visit your home
Have fun, take care and keep smiling
May Jesus bless you with anything and everything!!
Dedicated to Rene, a close friend and colleague of mine in my first job.

I am a bit unlucky
Yes, not always can everybody be lucky
But misfortune has befallen me many a time
My marriage was a ball of slime
I have lost a few friends
Though my behaviour towards them was almost blameless
Many a time, I get credit not
Even if my work is nearly perfect
Due to my Asperger's Syndrome
I do not feel at home
During many a social interaction
Really, do I do my best, to make a good conversation
However, mistakes are inevitable
Because, perfection is impossible
My ignorance is not my fault
It is God's fault
Definitely, do I need some compensation
For each and every misfortune of mine
Struggling am I, to find love
Though there is a lot, that I can give
Being a divorced male is a big curse
In a society that has a huge bias
Against anyone who is "different"
However, I will fight
To overcome all my insecurities
And drive away all my demons
But I certainly need some luck
Otherwise, life will remain dark
Yes, I am a bit unlucky for sure
However, I will try my best to ensure
That this does not remain the case
Wrong, will I prove all my doubters
Rise will I, against all odds
For now, am I overthinking
But soon, will I be planning
To rise from the ashes, like a true phoenix
Yes, not at all easy, is achieving success
However, as mentioned earlier
I am a fighter
And soon, will the fight begin
For now though, I am alone
Again, I am a bit unlucky
But soon, will I be lucky!
This is a poem on how I have had a lot of bad luck in life and also about how I will fight against all odds to turn my bad luck into good luck.

You, I think about, every single day
Not only does it make me happy
It provides me hope
Whenever I mope
You are not simply an inspiration
In me, do you ensure perspiration
In order to reach my goals
If I achieve success
I will dedicate it to you, for your writing
Because, you keep me believing
Hence, never do I give up
In fact, the only way for me is up
Drives me, does your radical thought
Which is straight from the heart
About society, you give not a ****
Something that manages to make me beam
Even when I am drowning in a pool of insecurities
You pull me, bit by bit
Towards achieving inner peace
One does not have to be perfect
Thanks chiefly to you, did I realise that
Your fiery passion helps me stay afloat
Even when the ship of my mind is sinking
Due to too much overthinking
You enable me to get rid of the clutter
Thus, does my focus keep getting better and better
A true braveheart, you are
In spite of being a mother
Amongst the loudest, is your voice
Against all sorts of injustice
What better motivation, do I need?
Thank you, Dear Comrade
Jai Bhim! Vaazhga Periyar!!
Dedicated to the vivacious and tiger-spirited author, poet, translator of the "Thirukkural", academic and anti-caste activist Dr. Meena Kandasamy.

Dear Sahana, belated birthday wishes
You are a very dear niece
Of you, am I greatly fond
We share a lovely little bond!

Dear Sahana, belated birthday wishes
With you, have I had fun always
Yes, sometimes can you be a tricky customer
But on the whole, you are such a dear!!

Dear Sahana, belated birthday wishes
I so love our games
Even if I end up losing all of them
Somehow, do you manage to make me beam!!

Dear Sahana, belated birthday wishes
Hope you had one of your best days
Your Dad is an amazing brother
And your Mom is a sweet sister!!

Dear Sahana, belated birthday wishes
Wish you loads of fun, love, happiness and peace
May all your deepest desires come true
And may the Lord bless you
So, hope to see you soon
And may you forever shine like the beautiful Moon!!

I am so glad we met
Seeing you was a huge treat
Missed you I have, for a long time
So much, have I wanted to see you beam
Because, really do you have a charming smile
And almost always, are you cool!

I am so glad we met
The sheer joy that your very company brings
Is very difficult to beat
In fact, any conversation with you defines happiness!!

I am so glad we met
You are a must-have teammate
And an even better friend
Simple and pure, is our bond!!

I am so glad we met
Definitely, did you play a large part
In ensuring all of us had a lot of fun
In fact, I wished we were never done
However, as we know, all good things come to an end
But you will forever be my friend!!

I am so glad we met
Well, hope we continue to meet
Meanwhile, keep enjoying your new life
May God keep you and Riddham free of strife
Keep that smile on your beautiful face
You and family, may the Lord infinitely bless!!
Another poem dedicated to my colleague and friend Tamanna.
