the toes that WERE bejewelled...

Oh! a short romance it was!
as short as it can get,
when a pair of silver toe rings
with my elegant toes met!

When i have rings on my ears,
and rings on my finger,
would it seem fair
if my toes alone linger?

It was a short-lived honeymoon,
I know i shouldn't have fiddled,
when I took it off yesterday,
it broke right at the middle!

sigh...The End!


Yes, truly 'great' poetry stems from extreme grief! Not that I am acknowledging my poem is great but it was written in deep grief! :D over it now though and time to buy another pair of stronger toe rings!

wake uppp!!

Post-lunch work comes to a grinding halt
I think its my digestive system's fault
Gimme a bed , a pillow and a sheet,
A pest to curl up with, and go to sleep! :D

And with such and more profound thoughts racing through my mind, I fight sleep (in vain!), give up the fight, go to the dorm and sleep for about 15 mins. Its 4.45pm now and time for my second sitting with the dentist... sigh!

eloquence thy name is dentistry!

Ye gaads! It's 4 pm and I haven't got any work done! sigh... I just gave Di* a happy news that I could chew from my left side of the mouth!! After 7 long years of using only the right side, yes it is great news!! :D was actually getting down to making an Oscar acceptance type speech too! ;)

Tomorrow is the second sitting of my root canal therapy.. The first went off okie except the parts where I wished I was dead n mummified.. What with the babbling dentist and my mouth filled wit instruments of all kinds..sigh.. twas' an experience in itself! The conversation went off something like this...

(victim on the chair) Lakshmi-"aaarrrgghhhh"

the dentist- "oh! does it hurt??"

lakshmi-sigh.. "did u pass med school??"


Dentist-"i will put these pins into your mouth, don't swallow them, they are very expensive!!!! hehehe" sniggers*

Lakshmi-WHAT THE F****!!??

Dentist-so, TELL me, what does ur father do? what does ur mom do? what does ur brother do? what does ur husband do?

Lakshmi (with a drill, a suction instrument and a clip in her mouth answers)- ughh..aackh...baaakk...khathoo!

Dentist- oh really?? i was also working in Saudi Arabia!! (Lakshmi thinks"DUDE I DONT CARE!!! GET THE JOB DONE!")

Dentist-"now please hold still...don't shake, don't make any movements with ur mouth..so tell me what all languages do u know??"

Lakshmi-"DUDE!!!" n answers (refer to the 7th exchange o dialogue*)

Dentist-"always remember language is important. It is the thing!"

Lakshmi- (makes a silent resolve never ever to marry a dentist or go to Saudi Arabia!!!)


The End*
