Well, just read this.
(Information : Certain parts of this presentation are inspired from real life.)
These days, my literary standards have taken a plummet from their erstwhile summits. (Mt. Everest? No, more like the top of Faculty Building, heh heh!) Anyways, I am trying out a new way of writing that is impromptu, thoroughly unrevised, one go, straight-from-the-gut-through-my-fingers-and-on-the-screen kind of writing. I'll stick to this for the time being till the "literary standards" hit a Mariana Trench. Then maybe I'll contemplate on a new way to tease the world.
Till then. Smiles.

Once I sent a birthday card
for a lady extraordinaire
’twas a plain and simple electronic card
"To show that you love and care"TM
After googling for a hour or so
Oh! Finalising it was so hard
For a special lady on a special day
A cute-ish birthday card
The forgetful that I am, I knew
It might happen, with fate,
That I forget to send the card to her
On the correct d-date!
So I thought up a little plan
And set up the card thus
To be delivered to her on the right date
No worries and no fuss!
There was an option on the card
to tick on the place that said,
Tell me when this card is sent,
And also when it’s read
So I put a tick mark each
And press the button to send
The card that wished a happy day
From a very happy friend
I should’ve avoided the ticks, I feel
should've sent an unmarked card instead
'coz I got a message saying the card was sent
But never got one saying that it was read
So boys and men, and all such fellas
Keep this in mind I hark
Either do not send a greeting card
Or send one without a mark.

We (ATul and company) also used to do this. We used to call it SPOM ( Spontaneous Poetry On Mails). One go, no revision, straight-from-the-gut poetry. It continued until some of the material we got was really from the gut. Ek bandi ki maar li thi hum logo ne aur phir bahut joote khaye :)
ReplyDeleteAfter that everything went cold. Those were good days. ANyway it's good that the reaction after reading this was positive.
