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.

You are the living embodiment of Satan
Never, have you left innocent people alone
Genocide runs in your very blood
You people bomb civilians as per your mood
For all the acts of evil you have committed
You deserve to be severely punished!

You are the living embodiment of Satan
Your very presence is a bane
To the world at large
I simply cannot contain my rage
Day by day, my blood boils
As I read the news
How can you people even live with yourselves
After obliterating countless schools and hospitals
Nearly erasing entire communities in the process?

You are the living embodiment of Satan
Because, you simply cannot be called human
By any yardstick in the world
In you, is there absolutely nothing good
Hell, you put even **** Germany to shame
This seriously is the time
When the entire world needs to boycott your nation
Assuming, of course, that it can even be CALLED a nation!!

You are the living embodiment of Satan
After the Holocaust, everybody said "Never again!"
Where is that cry now?
Instead, almost all are crying "Bow Bow"
Because, you create fear in the minds of people
By using the Holocaust as a weapon
For your own political gain
Really, is there no level
To which your so-called country cannot sink?
You draw an absolute blank
When it comes to human rights
Not to mention, basic goodness!!

You are the living embodiment of Satan
And to God, an absolute abomination
You may think what you are doing is right
And show your might
However, one fine day, will you be brought to ruin
Then, will you be all alone
Because, you refused to be human!!

You have wrecked my mind
Made me overthink, to no end
Smashed my positivity to pieces
And worst of all, destroyed my happiness!

You have wrecked my mind
Only pointed out flaws, never appreciated
The pains I have taken, in order to change
And ultimately, trapped me in a cage!!

You have wrecked my mind
You may think you are kind
However, I know you are not
Your hurtful words say a lot!!

You have wrecked my mind
I hope you realise the damage you did
However, as a very close cousin of mine says
I am a fighter always
And though I may not yet have won
It is only a matter of time before I win
And you will not get any credit
Because, it will be through my own effort!!
The last few sessions with my therapist have played with my mental health, lowering my self-esteem and heightening my insecurities. Hence, I decided to write this poem as a coping mechanism.

You are a beautiful person
Really happy am I, to have you as my cousin
Sweet and caring by nature
Unquestionable, is your character
Stoked was I, to meet you last year
And of course Dr. Karthik and little Ninad
The three of you share a super cute bond
And Chikku is such a dear
He even came to Mumbai last December
Though it was a very short visit
With all of us, was he an instant hit
Of course, we don't speak a lot
But I find your presence a source of comfort
You are extremely innocent
Though naive, certainly are you not
Moreover, you are quite humble and unassuming
Which, in this cruel world, often means everything
I would love to meet you again in the near future
May you and family be blessed with all that you hold dear!
Poem dedicated to Pavithra, one of my sweetest cousins
