As I contemplate over life here in Pune
I take out a flower from the boquete
Today for your special happy birthday
I wish to open up my heart to you this Wednesday
Brighten all the hues of dark gray
Connect with you even when we're so far away

Today, I would like to celebrate a very special person
Thank him for running more than all the errands he has had to run
He is always ready for the firing gun
Whether it be in the freezing cold or blazing sun
In everything he does, he is number one
Constantly working till he's done

I've never seen someone more caring
Always encouraging me to be daring
Tolerating all my erring
Checking on me daily to see how I'm faring

In this new year of your life, I hope you achieve everything you desire
May the universal powers work together in your favor to conspire
I hope you get the long due break to respire
You will achieve everything you aspire

Thank you for being such an awesome Dad and once again, Happy Birthday!
I love you, Dad

It's a late autumn evening
All the kids are cheering
Reminds me of all my memories of candy feasting

The folks at school are dressed up
In spooky ghosts and crazy getups
Reminds me of my dinosaur costume

The kids start to arrive
Begging for sweets
Outlandish costumes and getups
Knocking for treats

And as the sun starts to set
All the kids come outside
I decorate the porch
To leave the kids petrified


Trick or treat
Bon appetite
It's a day to celebrate
With chocolate delight

I take a gaze at my treat pile
Growing as I stockpile


Trick or treat
Shiver me timbers
It's a day to fear
Ghosts give me the shivers

As I go from door to door
The scene looks like a world war

It's a dusk, creepy night
Pumpkins surround me
I set out to each house in sight

Rap part

Trick or treat
Bon appetite
It's a day to celebrate
With chocolate delight

I take a gaze at my treat pile
Admiring my huge stockpile

Trick or treat
My hands start to quiver
I feel my rising heartbeat
This feels like a horror thriller

As I go from house to house
The streets are lined with creepy gnomes

As this crazy night ends
I relish in consuming confectionary
After calling it a night
I wake up with my stomach wary

Chocolate delight
Bliss in one bite
Enjoying it through the night

Creaminess in my mouth
Sitting like a sloth
Dreaming of a bath
Of chocolate fudge

I gobble up the bar
One block at a time
One hand sticky
The other thinking of rhymes

I give some to my friends
Some for myself
My friends thank me
We enjoy by ourselves

Crushed cocoa beans
Roasted and liquified
Poured into moulds
And solidified

Packed into large wrappers
Sent out to stores
Reach my giant hands
Delicious to the core

First made by the Mayans
Used in spiritual rites
Then the Europeans came
And caused a lot of fights

They stole the cocoa beans
Planted 'em in Africa
Began refining them
Added lots of sugar

Today, I sit calmly
Breaking my chocolate bar
Aware and in this moment
Wondering what makes them what they are

They were highly divine
To the ancient Mayans
Indeed quite fine
A timeless sign

When you feel low
When there's no where to go
When you don't feel at ease
When people are too hard to please

Breathe easy
Walk out and feel the breeze
Let go when you are feeling queasy
Drown your worries overseas

When it seems like life is unfair
When things are going nowhere
When you can't tolerate the fanfare
When you sleep upon a nightmare

Feel the air
Life will take care
Hibernate your grizzlybear
It is only human to err

Hear the sound of the zephyr
Take a seat on the lawn chair
Let life go laissez-faire
Take your worries elsewhere

Perfect for each other

Sister, sister, sister,
Sometimes so nice,
Sister, sister, sister
Sometimes like a twister

We’ve been through thick and thin
There for each other like true friends
I’ll be your safety pin
Protecting all your odds and ends

We are the perfect team
You are my shining gleam
We are like pancakes and whipped cream
So perfect for each other
Yeah…

We are perfect for each other
I will always be your brother
Anytime you call for help
I will be there whenever

We are perfect for each other
Just like bread and butter
Anytime you are in trouble
I will help you recover


Sister, sister, sister
Sometimes an assistor
Sister, sister, sister
Sometimes just like a resistor

We quarrel every day
But stay angry at each other, no way
I am there to make sure everything is okay
You just always remember I am by your side
Even if I don’t feel like, I will always try

We are the perfect duo
You mean the world to me, ya know
We are like heads and tails
So perfect for each other
Yeah…

We are perfect for each other
I will always be your brother
Anytime you call for help
I will be there when you stutter

We are perfect for each other
Just like bread and butter
Anytime you quiver
I will be your caregiver

I will be your brother
You will always be my sister
We are little like one another
And yet each other’s cloud cover

Perfect indeed
Oh we are perfect together

One day I took a walk by the lake
There was a film I had to make
I was thinking about all the footage I could take
But was shocked by the river's state

Trash covered the banks from end to end
Quite the difficult situation to mend
All the disgusting videos I would have to send
All because no one had a hand to extend

I was shocked by what I saw
Saddened that littering wasn't breaking the law
The river was littered with plastic bags and straws
But what could be the cause

Rivers are the lifeblood of humanity
But our love of money has droven us to insanity
People save money by dumping their trash in rivers
Despite knowing that plastic can't be broken down by other people's livers

We blame others or the government for our problems
Despite directly or indirectly contributing to the dump at the bottom
Even if we don't trash ourselves, do we not have the audacity to stop 'em
We can be a part of the solution instead of the squabble

When life gets rough and tough
When it seems like you've had enough

When you stand at the edge of the abyss
Tortured by the life you reminisce

Just know there is a way
Tomorrow will be a new day
Come outside and play
Instead of sitting far away

There is still power within you
To change, to overcome this blue
The pain, the misery is all true
But ending it all will simply cause chaos to ensue

You will triumph over life
Don't let it triumph over you
The future is in your hands
Just see it through

You are better than death
You still have your breath
Live a life you will remember
Instead of ending your fading ember

When life seems to be a slough
When your voice is ****

When there seems to be no bliss
When there is nothing left to miss

Just know you are a shining ray
You were not meant to lay
Don't jump over the archway
Make your fears obey

You had once flew
You will come through
You will experience that breakthrough
Just don't regret that you withdrew

You are better than you think
Even if life seems out of sync
Live life like you don't have another chance
Don't end it out of circumstance

Those who decided to end their own lives
Are a lesson to us who thought of taking the dive
All of us mortals are still alive
Let's not end our chance to thrive

Let's not get stuck in the smaller picture
Just wait for the storm to flicker
Think about the bigger picture
You will ultimately be a victor

— The End —
