It's not only the river that meanders..

It's been quite a while now, that we started walking, why are your feet wet even now?
I knew perhaps you liked the river, but didn't we choose the desert together?.
Perhaps It's unfair to you that I keep checking whether your feet are wet ? but they are wet. Aren't they?
Had you gone to the river again?
I have never seen you going, But I have traced your footsteps many times.They were yours weren't they?
and look! your feet are still wet. Aren't they?
Did the river come to you?
perhaps. But I don't want to ask the river, I can't ask the river. but I wish it stays away, I wish you might stay away. Tell me, were you simply curious?
Alas! there can be bigger tragedies. Much water has flown under the bridge, but your feet are still wet, aren't they?
Let it not drown me. The river will never be far from me as long as it is not far from you.I dread someday, it'll be between us.
We don't need the Wry-ver, but will your feet still be wet?.......

1 angry man (inspired by 'almost -a-man') cheers on 11 tired men


The last 6 away test matches have been an embarrassment to every Indian watching...
The very venerable Karan Johar provided the perfect muse for me to come up with this parody(if I may call it so)...


For the Uncle Jis... in Sydeny
This one's for you

Abhi bhi hai jawani, zara si hai purani
Hai phir bhi khelna VVS ji
‘bouncer’ bhula ke, haan front foot pe aake
Karo na thoda batting ji

Abhi bas hue tere baal gore-gore
sau -sau runs pehle bhi hai mare-mare
Dekho wicket liye jaa rahe hain
Aadhe umar ke bhi chhore-chhore
Ha baalon ki safedi se pheeka kab hua hai De….fe……nce…..
Uncle ji, Uncle ji, get up and bat (Chorus :2 times in each test match)
Uncle ji, Uncle ji, get up and bat (Chorus :2 times in each test match)

Dil toh chhichhora outside- off flirting kiye jaaye
half volleys pe inside edge marr marr jaaye baby
Kolhi ko bolo tajurbe se khele uncle ji,

Kitna swing pe rona rona rona
Thoda technique phir bhi mangta hona hona hona baby
Aur helicopter ghar pe rakhna uncle ji

Yeh toh bataa hare o re o re
Dressing room jaldi bulaaye tujhe kyun re kyun re

Century banaane mein jo mazaa hai woh
‘inverter’ bechne mein no re no re

O ‘ashwin’’ jo ghumaye toh tikne ka nahin koi chance
Uncle ji, uncle ji, get up and bat(Chorus :2 times in each test match)
Uncle ji, uncle ji, get up and bat(Chorus :2 times in each test match)

Perth mein jaake kuch toh dhole dhole
thoke kyun tumhe badtameez buddhe
Buddhon se run banti nahin
Chhedenge yunhi tujhe varna chhore chhore

Haan baalon ki safedi se pheeka kab hua hai defence
Uncle ji, Uncle ji, get up and bat (Chorus :2 times in each test match)
