Introduction - how often do you look back at the events leading up to your present ?
When preoccupied it was ,
I didn't care.
When by large idle ,
To keep busy , even arranged the table-ware.
Trying out if I had a superpower,
Contemplating a leap from the clock tower.
Speaking behind the exhaust fan,
Or through a funelled fizz-can,
I'd try to emulate Vader's(star wars villian) voice ,
When succeeded, felt a slight rejoice.
Reruns of some detective show,
Remniscicing about Dbz (cult Fighting cartoon among enthusiasts),
Though recall I do , every single blow.
Or regardless of the crap, sit through a movie with the lowest fee.
Thinking back on what should have been,
If my resolve was more keen.
The taste of tea in Darjeeling,
or feeding in the backyard pond, a fingerling.
How my post-box had a swallow nest.
Dad looked lovingly at it for hours at a stretch.
Even though annoyed was my mom , by the litter.
When the eggs hached and finally they flew away,
though she'd say otherwise, was a tad bitter.
While re-enacting WWF (now WWE),
In my friend's lawn,
Grand was the Imaginary stage,
sometimes it even had a cage.
In it , fuelled by irrational rage,
a grappling war , we did wage.
At the end of the day though,
Glad were we , to be on the same page.
Pushing the 4 buttons to make mario run and jump .
Contra , streetfighter, or ninja turtles,
ruled our evenings ,
once the computers came,
thrown were they into the dump.
The winters or summers Alike,
Riding to the school , a mile away,
Some on Atlas, others on a Hercules Bike.
As about everything we used to talk,
Picking up a fellow , whose tire burst,
and was at crossroads to turn back or onwards walk.
Sitting on the last Bench,
To the left a movie Buff,
To the Right sat,
The One with a distinctive garlic stench.
Comparing the answers,
Soon as they were handed out.
Some Teachers to spike contest,
Loudly did the marks shout.
In 4th grade the class prefect,
whose head resembled a studds helmet,
As was norm , handed out permission to pee,
Allowed per hour , only a few select.
An idea bad , it was as the sweeper would see,
Under a table , a yellow stain.
When punished,
cause it did , considerable pain.
Near the curtain , i always sleep.
Which draws she , in cold blood.
Over the cresses her palm doth seep,
expected I , an affectionate hug,
But was woken up by the hot coffee mug.
