I guess somewhere
between my Rum
& my marriage I
had a dream
I guess somewhere
between an open jeep
& my dream I had
a dream
I guess somewhere between
the end of the month
& my birth I had
a dream
I guess somewhere between
Pune & Kerala
& my life I had a
dream
I guess somewhere
between the 90’s
& my dilemmas I had
a dream
I guess somewhere
between 301 & 106
& my heart I had
a dream
I guess somewhere
between a flute
& my keyboard I
had a dream
I guess somewhere
between Aju & Ranj
& 6 decades I had
a dream
I guess somewhere
between ‘n’ kitchens
& a lifetime I
had a dream
I guess somewhere between
our happiness
& a temple I had
a dream
I guess somewhere between
my sisters
& a life I had a
dream
I guess somewhere
between my brothers
& a soul I had a
dream
I guess somewhere between
the kids
& a love I had a
dream
I guess somewhere between
a desert
& my greenlands I
had a dream
I guess somewhere
between my colours
& my choices I
had a dream
I guess somewhere between
my wishes
& my wishes I had
a dream
I guess somewhere between
my voice
& my liberty I had
a dream
I guess somewhere between
my right
& my wrong I had
a dream
I guess somewhere
between my decisions
& my happiness I had
a dream
I guess somewhere
between my dal
& my sambar I had
a dream
I guess somewhere
between my thoughts
& my decisions I had
a dream
I guess somewhere
between my travels
&my family I had
a dream
I guess somewhere between
a lifetime
& my
grandchildren I had a dream
I guess somewhere
between a city
&the countries I had
a dream
I guess somewhere is
where I can choose
&still say to the
world I had a dream
This is us, my Acha ,
my Amma
& their dream!!
Their Dream!!
