Let me take this day
to invite us!!
The bananas is what
we call ourselves
To Sophisticate it we
are the Kelas
To simply put this we
are invincible
We had our times
& they legendary
We had us &
legend would’ve said now
We had a darling who’d
swear by cars
We had a darling who’d
swear by red love
We had a darling
creatively social & now
We had a darling so
comically true & full of heart
We had a darling who
could be just a darling
We had a darling who
would be a chance!!( translate..lol )
We had a darling who
would be rhythm
We had a darling who
would be the wisdom tree of stylista!!
We had a darling
living jackson’s dream & how
We had a darling who’d
be the king of the rocking chair Punjabi & So!
We had a darling so crocodile
& cute
We had a darling
strumming so cool but true
We had an SBP we all
would still wonder when we started out & called ‘MAmA’ so fondly.. wonder
where he’s lost now..hehehhe
We had a darling garu
as we’d call.. ooh so ‘Touching(s)’ but so full of soul..wow..
Be it the beautiful
walk from the wisdom tree to the jail gates
Be it the beautiful
walk from the bust stop to the gate behind when denied..
Be it the Tapri on
the right side where those Rotis with Bhurji’s were nothing short of heaven
Be it the Mela on the
left where a falooda would’ve defined our existence with just “ Ek Choti”.. lol
Be it one ride to
Andhra Mess to have just one whiff o dat Fried piece biryani that afternoon
Be it one life that
would still touch all of us there just one more time & that should be once
We did have that one
instance where we knew us & we would always be Us!
We did hav that one
instance where we looked at each other& we knew we were one & the force
was strong within us..lol..
We did have that one
instance when we raised that toast & we meant it!
We did have that one
instance when we drove like mad fucks but we knew we had darlings to take care
of
We did have that one
instance where we thought seafood is us.. but oooh..seafood was still us..lol..
We had that one
instance… We were US!!!
Blown that we were always
Blown that we should
be always
Blown together was
our philosophies
Blown together was
just us
Blown today &
forever is foreseen
Blown yesterday but
now is a gift
Blown after a walk to
have a puff
Blown after a km to
have a drag
Blown that day sounded
cool
Blown that day
instills us today
Blown if we weren’t
than ever
Blown we’d never’ve realized
now
Blown today too we’d
proudly say
Blown when you see
newer perspective’s..Not bad eh!! Lol
We did have our times
forever
We did have the
diversities so cool
We did have so much
of the forbidden
We did have so much
of the apple
We did have this one
thing that we were
We did have this sure
thing that we are one
We did have a beat
one too many
We did have a heart
people would deny
We did foresee that
distance could be us
We did foresee a time
bound by us
We could’ve strained
away someday
We could’ve skimmed
just like that
But from Nakoda
Heaven to Mahindra Woods…
We R Us!!!
