Twilight plights –Sri Sri

One Evening…
Norma Shearer at Roxie or,
Kanchana Mala at Broadway!
Where to go?
Mulled over, a university student!

At a Hotel --
Sweets of almonds or,
Cakes of Vermicelli!
What to eat?
Chewed over, a government employee!

The same evening…
Thoughts of ravening creditors,
Hungry whimpers of his children!
To hang himself to death or
To jump in to the sea to die –
Contemplated, a suicidal farmer!

Finally a good tune ...

The cell phone tunes are rather dismal , but this one i heard let my spirits jump .
I think it was in Sudha Dhanyasi :

" S ; PM P;M; S ; G;
NS G;
S;PM P;M; G;"

The tune must be Ilayaraja's .

Aw !!Sinatra !!!

She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She loves the theater, but doesn't come late
She'd never bother, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without careShe's broke, but it's o'k
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like dice games, with sharpies and frauds
Won't go to Harlem, in Lincolns or Fords
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads
That's why the lady is a tramp

! .. ?

a worship of writers !
but
.....a curse of painters ?

Drifting away from her own .

She tiptoed over to the kitchen and made herself a cup of coffee and worked on the bills for the month .The extra 500 would set things in place .

Everybody had beamed smiles of appreciation at her at the party and Mrs.Alfredo had promised her the hike .

The kids were brilliant . Maya sang like a bird and Paulo could conjure up the most amazing tales .They grasped things quickly ,making her job a whole lot easier. They had spent the whole week learning the chords and notes for the big night, to celebrate their grades .Maya sang effortlessly and Paulo was a wonder at the piano.


She sank back smug and and flipped through the pages of a notebook lying on the table .A letter dropped out of it .

Dear Parent ,

Please meet me on Saturday at 11.00 a.m . Krishna's scores have dropped to a C
and Kauveri never finishes her homework on time .


Thank you,
Sarah Philip "


Krishna and Kauveri slept undisturbed in the other room
and she screened through the paper for another job .
