From Chundanthuruth to Madrid I was driving On an errand That was not really urgent In the car, a song Not actually sweet Not even beautiful Was playing in a hum.. Whenever I got bored Looked at the sky The sky too looked back Once I winked at it Teasingly.. Since the sky could not wink Closing one eye It shot a frightening glance At me; said " get lost, mind your business! " I kept driving.. Beyond Kalamasseri At the container road signal Stood a man Signalled to stop No sooner did I stop Than he got inside And sits authoritatively On the seat to my left Regarding my song Neither too sweet Nor that beautiful With contempt.. (In looks, a gentle man, infact a rogue I said in brackets ) Though Idid not like much I asked him his name ' Life ' he said Ah!  Since it was my first Encounter with "Life" Asked his initials too Without paying heed Life played a song I did not like Life played another song I did not like at all Life played a different song I did not, did not like Life played different different songs I did not like Life played song I did not like Life played song I did not like Life played song  I did not like ------------ Malaamparamp, moolampilly High court junction Marine drive On the way to Madrid Life kept on playing Different different songs My "I dont like, I dont like" Continued  Life again played a song I did not like it Again I did not like Again and again  I did not like Life  Then Played a song I liked it a bit I liked it a bit more Bit by bit I liked that song Liked the song Liked the song very much Liked only that song That song became mine That song became me What to say; I even danced To that song Just then Just then Once again I asked Life His initials Laughingly it said " Life.PK" (Translated by Vijayalakshmi Murthy)
