Wish is a wish

I wished a friend on Onam a little belated, and this is what she had to say ...

Wish is a wish..
Even for a fish..
Of course its ok to come in a little late-ish!
Wish is a wish..
Even for a fish..

...

Life has been but a cake walk
You wished it was written with chalk
Your character has been so strong
Obstacles disappear before long
Not willing with frustration to be torn
You’ve always taken the bull by the horn
Conquered every peak
Week after week
Just as you think its time to play
God has something different to say
Smiling and laughing and crying within
settled for nothing less than a win
Left you alone have I my dear
What should I do it is not clear
Hope I just
and you I trust
If unable to sail
will call me without fail

Those Were The Days!!!

I wonder what got into us
We did not want to miss the bus
The terms weren’t very fine
But it was a Silverline

Sifting through the files
Working without smiles
The team did its task
With a plastic mask

We are not the kind
To just fit in the grind
In a short while
The team was all smile

Gale and TAF
Were but a laugh
At tea and lunch
We were a bunch

The work increased
It never ceased
With deadlines to keep
and nights without sleep

Soon there were new faces
working at different paces
It wasn’t easy
To work the lazy

There were differences
By different inferences
That tested our might
but boss wasn’t always right

Soon people were gone
One by one
Some for the stork
Others for work

As the chapter came to a close
We hoped friends not to lose
And say always
Those were the days

I wonder what got into us
Why there was so much fuss
Over the terms being fine
Now i’ don't even think in that line
