The Power Cut (Poem)

Introduction : Do you miss the Antaksharis , the teen-patti's , the looking at stars and going to sleep-nights , Grandma's tales , Grandpa's boasts........then you sure do miss power cuts too ; don't you ?

--------------------------------------------------

The lights went out , when you least expect.[/b]

Quarter a day , sometimes a minute.[/b]

Started out with the corrupt elect ,[/b]

As passed around was a handfull , apricot or peanut.[/b]

While dad went on about the Lotus , [/b]

Mom stood by the Hand's Magnum Opus.[/b]

The little ones mounted and steered the scooter's handle,[/b]

Or burnt ants and other vermin, with dropping wax from the candle.[/b]

Then came , the Inverter ,[/b]

Mainly Automatic ; though some had a switch,[/b]

While set out plenty , for vintage ; preserve.[/b]

In favour of Power cuts, none did Pitch.[/b]

[/b]

What about the curses ,[/b]

when sachin was on ninety Nine,[/b]

or dining within a single torch's shine,[/b]

Meeting a friend , after missing a lane,[/b]

or the Knock - and - run , to make the Sharma next door ; act insane?[/b]
