LITTLE MISS FORGETFUL!!



Little Miss Forgetful!!

Women have this strange habit of exaggerating and over-reacting to small things...the poem is a classic example of that..Is this what we call Paranoia??

Please note, my poem DOES NOT deal with amnesia, Alzheimer's or any medical aspect...i am not a doctor and neither have i done research to write a poem based on that..Mine is just about day-to-day forgetfulness and the fear of amnesia in the mind of a girl in her early twenties...!!!


I was clumsy right since school,
But never was I forgetful,
I don’t know when it all began,
But I curse myself coz it all began,

My friends’ birthdays and number,
That used to be on my fingertips,
Now I barely can remember,
And the thought of amnesia gives me creeps,

Sometimes I don’t recognize a face,
Sometimes I don’t recollect an event or place,
My memory’s diminishing with passing time,
As this sends chills down my spine,

Everyone calls me “Little Miss Forgetful”,
Hearing it daily is so painful,
Someone please show me a way,
A glimmer of hope, a ray,

My forgetfulness is haunting me,
My life is taunting me,
Relieve me of this anxiety and pain,
Before my memory completely goes down the drain,

I have seen movies on the dreaded topic,
And that scares me even more,
It makes me awfully sick,
Could this get worse any more,

Am I getting paranoid,or,
Is my greatest fear gonna come true,
Is this a common phenomenon, or,
Am I one of the unlucky few,

You might think I am over-reacting,
You might call me an idiot or a fool,
But save me,someone,I am incessantly wishing,
Please relieve me from the title of “ Little Miss Forgetful”……

To you , my mother!! Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator. Thank You, for everything you've done, I need you, I really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you. I remember how i used to cry, When every morning you went to the dispensary. I needed you then, i need you even now. I need your guidance, your advice. I need your backing, your support. Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator, Over the past few years, You've become my guide, my mentor, I need you, i really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I am indeed very lucky, To have a mother as sweet as you. I am indeed very lucky, To have someone who cares for me, Who appreciates my achievements with glee, Yet equally stern when i am wrong. You have a heart of gold, my mother, Please stay by my sid...

You have enriched my life!! In an era where happy marriages are an illusion, In you I see love so untainted, so true, It is pleasantly surprising and gladdening, And I feel so lucky to spend my life with you, The twinkle in your eyes; the caring look on your face, I see, as I open my eyes every morning, I feel your soft hands gently stroking my forehead, The moment is beyond doubt, refreshing, I feel excited while coming back from work, Knowing someone’s eagerly waiting for me, And as we sit and share the day’s happenings, All my worries vanish; I feel happy and free, Sweetheart, let me hold you for a moment, And let all the memories flow, From the first time we met, the first time we kissed, To the birth of our children, and seeing them grow, The times spent with you have been priceless, And I can’t imagine living even a day without you, Dear, your smile mesmerizes me even now, I can spend my whole life merely gazing at you. I feel like praising you all the time, For you are a ...

DRAVID: THE UNSUNG HERO!!

Dravid: The unsung hero!! An epitome of perseverance was he, A man of resolve; like a wall he stood, Weathering every belligerent storm with ease, Every single time, without an interlude, An epitome of ethics, an ideal sportsman was he, He made us believe, cricket’s still a gentleman’s game, For rarely he shouted, cursed or resorted to unfair means, Never did we see him bring our country’s reputation to shame, An epitome of selflessness was he, A man who would have walked on fire for his team, He did everything he was asked to do; and more, He would die saving someone else’s life, it does seem, An epitome of humility, a true altruist was he, For never in his life was he seen flaunting his records, Preferring instead to be a shadow, an unsung hero, A man who served; without expecting rewards, An epitome of loyalty was he, Like a mother loves her child since birth, Every step he took was in the interest of the country, Yet who never r...
