Pour ma chère

Pour ma chère (For my dear)

You've been a sweetheart, right from the start

Naughty and nice, baka and wise.

I hope the day won't come when

Seeing you online wouldn't be a pleasant surprise.

To rope in amusing words

And describe you, I don't dare.

But I think you're just the thing for me

Simply for the same pinches we share

I fell for your half smile

Your romantic charm

Cute haww! and sweet voice

And your reliable calm

"Submit unto my stubbornness, or

Prepare thyself for a war!"

Fights with you, I've loved yet hated

Scolding you I've always regretted

I dream of a world, devoid of labels,

In which you and I can play

An endless game of thumb-fight 

While in my arms you lay

"I'll love you the same forever," 

And similar shit they say

I won't lie; into my life may fly 

Another fay.

But, I promise in my heart

You shall stay

And always shine uniquely

As the polestar may

Visions of a lonely mind

"I need to talk to you. Alone." I said, trying to look as determined as possible and without losing eye contact.

"Now?! Class is about to start! Also, she doesn't want to talk to you." Her friend retorted.

"Please..." I reiterated, ignoring her friend, maintaining eye contact all throughout. Reluctantly, silently, her lizard eyes heeded. She had to! After all, she wanted to talk to me too. She did, right?

The Hyd trip

Last Sunday I took my TOEFL exam. The test centre was in Hyderabad which gave me a chance to visit the city of Chicken Biryani and factories catering to IIT-crazy "students" who, not-so-surprisingly, form a larger chunk of the IITM populace, or for that matter, any IT-related populace. :D It was a hectic visit: reached Hyd at 6am, exam at 10, lunch at 2, sleep + Anime till 6, snack, return train at 7. Nonetheless, it had its moments.
