This is a piece of poetry I wrote in a confluence on "Appreciative Inquiry. Here it goes:
WHERE I AM FROM
With my dashing father as the Groom
I am from joyful Kolkata
And from Koti and from Kota
I was made in Delhi's Patli Gali
With Ingredients from Bengaluru's Puttenahalli
I am a minx and a sphinx
I beam with my brother's love
I came into my own when he carried me to play
In our grandparents. coconut grove
I exist and so I am
To celebrate I eat cheese and ham
And I cherish the doors that DID not slam.
I came to be a mother and had to bother,
and smother and ponder over that little bundle of wonder
I am the earth, wind and the fire
and The Higgins-Boson whose proof mighty minds desire
I am more than where I came from and there is more to where I came from
I came from nothingness and I aspire to go back to that nothingness
In that nothingness await my precious sire and my mother and my brother
All eager to once more with love drench me and to smother
and strip me of my ego and show me the vastness of the nothingness
Gayatri
WHERE I AM FROM
I am from my mother's womb
With my dashing father as the Groom
I am from joyful Kolkata
And from Koti and from Kota
I was made in Delhi's Patli Gali
With Ingredients from Bengaluru's Puttenahalli
I am a minx and a sphinx
I beam with my brother's love
I came into my own when he carried me to play
In our grandparents. coconut grove
I exist and so I am
To celebrate I eat cheese and ham
And I cherish the doors that DID not slam.
I came to be a mother and had to bother,
and smother and ponder over that little bundle of wonder
I am the earth, wind and the fire
and The Higgins-Boson whose proof mighty minds desire
I am more than where I came from and there is more to where I came from
I came from nothingness and I aspire to go back to that nothingness
In that nothingness await my precious sire and my mother and my brother
All eager to once more with love drench me and to smother
and strip me of my ego and show me the vastness of the nothingness
