Magic Drum!!!

we are story tellers,
we travel, we sing, we dance
we are revelers,
whenever we have a chance

from within the magic drum,
come out stories after the magic chant
tales full of fun, gaiety, songs we love to hum,
and the audience enchant

our style is different,
interaction with audience is the key
be it the child or the parent,
it is for all to see

the script and music is fun,
the props and costumes are neat
sets there are none,
lights are a treat

playwrights were a funny bunch,
the directors had their craft
production are on the crunch,
music and lights are the heart

there is magic in the air,
this is what theatre is all about
and beware,
once you are in, you’re never out

Good Morning!

'Repetitive is boring
Come up with something new'
Its always what I’ve been storing
And those are just a few

so here I am giving it a go
its been long, will it come ?
I really don’t know
till I’ve actually tried some

when you wake up
you are engulfed by brightness
with your tea cup
you are filled with freshness

days that start
with a greeting from me
livens the heart
however tough the day may be

so… to a wonderful day
from me to you
in a spirit gay
Good morning to you!!!

Happy 75!

This one I had Ghost written for Nabeel... to wish his nanaji on his 75th birthday.
here goes ....
Mom and Dad wanted us to write to you,how you have made a difference to our lives,
your love and support. Your contribution to society and all the good that you have done.
But those are what they want to say... I have a small poem for you


I say not big things to you,
they are just few,
its not to remember in life how or what to others you have done,
its the day to remember how much it has been fun,

do you remember:
for a gift wait,
that you would get on june eight,


the wait for a holiday,
to go out and play,


the wait for the school opening bell,
to meet your friends and stories tell,


felt you what,
when cycle you got,


how happy you were when you finished school,
and thought college was going to be cool,


your first salary in hand,
did you feel grand?


what about when you met nani,
were you sharm se pani pani?


when they first put mommy in your lap,
did you in joy clap?


when you first mamu saw,
did you know he was going to study law,


1996 31st december,
do you remember?


when you saw adam,sakeenah and aliyah,
what went through your mind... yah?


and this surprise party today,
when everybody sang Happy Birthday!


... now nanaji from all of us here in bangalore: Happy birthday to you!

Death of a Princess

It had been a holiday
nine days, fun and gay
Paris a hop
before the London stop

In wait they stood
to make good
she knew their game
it was always the same

to them get rid
a simple plan did
the decoy took the mass
but the others were no ass

they did not fall for the bait
but continued to wait
As she left the place
they stood in her face

here to there, the foot on the gas
finally to the underpass
the car crashed on pillar thirteen
at a very high speed it had been

with injuries she lay
they continued the play
'oh my god!'..."leave me alone" she said
on the stretcher laid
