About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

what I like best


what I like best when it rains is the fragrance of earth as it soaks in the rain


what i like best when there's a storm is the sight of trees bending in the wind but not breaking


what i like best when its so hot one can't breathe is a glass of iced roohafza


what i like best on warm winter days is to pretend its spring and to sip lassi, not tea


what i like best when its cold enough to make me shiver is to have hot gulab jamuns


what i like best when i am unhappy is to write verses brimming over with self pity


what i like best when i am happy is to write verses that celebrate joy


what i like best on birthdays is a fine dining experience


what i like best when my sons' exams are drawing close is to turn to tarot for reassurance


what i like best about cellphones is that i needn't take the calls i don't wish to

what i like best about lists is that one can keep adding to them
