"My cute Jiju"

In this poem I'm gonna talk about a person,

Who is a bit huge and somewhat fearsome;

To pay a  visit, he often use to come,

He is really cute and awesome...........

The relation of a brother and sister has recently begun;

And I know, the best days are yet to come,

He is skillful in using his charm,

But always ready to protect us from any kind of harm.

I know, he has not given me a difficult task;

To write a poem about him is what he had ask.

He is so simple and never wore a mask,

He is there to help me in anyway, no matter it's dawn or dusk.

He says, he is kinda lucky for me,

Wondering, if this was how it ought to be?

He dislikes to drink tea made by me;

I think, I need to take training from him by paying a fee............

Whenever we hangout together, we use to have a lot of fun;

He use to call me by the name "Toofaan"

People advice him, everyday in the morning he should run,

This is the one thing which I think he has never done.

Whenever I ask him to bring me Vodka,

The answer from him is always na na na;

He would threaten me by saying "I will tell your papa"

And I would be angry at him and say "What da.... ?"

The day he shaves, he looks very neat,

I gotta tell you, he wears only Reebok in his feet;

My sister always makes him change bed sheet,

Guess who? It's my  brother-in-law "Mr. Abhijit".

"My lovely Elder Sister"

This is how I describe my sister,

She is cute than anyone ever;

She likes sparkly dresses with stones and glitter,

Mind you; she tastes sweet as well as bitter.

The name of my sister is Madhusmita,

I use to mock her and say 'Hi Senorita'

When I wrote poem about others, she used to envy,

And she would say, why can't you write a poem about me?

So, here's presenting my lovely elder sister,

Mind you; she tastes sweet as well as bitter.......

She is naughtier than anyone ever,

The appealing smile on her face could make anyone fall for her.

She took care of me just like a mother,

She always protected me from the scolds of my brother, mother and father.

She is so cheerful and as fresh as a flower,

Don't go by her looks and underestimate her power.

Waai..waii..wait...there's more and it's just a trailer,

Don't forget, she tastes sweet as well as bitter.

Everybody appreciated us for we had the bond of trust,

Every mother wished they could have children just like us.

We both would gossip for hours every now and then;

And I almost forget, she is my elder sister or my best friend?

She would pose for a click and ask how do I look?

The very next moment, she would upload that pic in facebook.

She watches fashion tv and would admire the models of all over the world;

She would stand in front of me and say I'm also a model from alien world.

Now she has done her hair straight;

Every time I look at her, she just looks great.

Now, she looks prettier than ever,

Don't forget she tastes sweet as well as bitter.....

Adventurous and interesting are the tales she told,

It takes her a long time to unfold.

She is calm and sometimes very bold,

She wears accessories made of gold.

She always tweets though she does not have an a/c in twitter,

Mind you, she tastes sweet as well as bitter..........

She is now married and calls her hubby "Oye Hatiiii"

When he returns home from work, she hugs him and ask "Did you miss me?"

I think I am lucky to have a sister like her;

What will I do without her I always wonder!!!!

She is loving and caring more than ever,

May God bless her always to live a married life happily ever after.......

Oh....

There's a lot more to say and the story is yet not over,

But for the time being, I'm gonna carry over;

Next time I will tell you about her role-play of being a Hitler,

Mind you, she tastes sweet as well as bitter.................

“My angel Mom”

I remember I was studying in Nursery or K.G

But this memory of mine has gone a little bit hazy,

After the death of my lovely mother,

My dad was unable to take care of me, my sister and my brother.

My father was then tensed, confused and always in a worry,

Finally he decided to marry again, in a hurry;

He brought her home and blessed us with a new mom,

With the hope that, she would take care of us all day long.

For the first time she came near us and said her name is ‘Babita’,

She sounded sweet, calm and as lovely as ‘Sita’;

Soon she started carrying out all her responsibility,

She loved and cared for us like a mother and never thought it to be just a duty.

For school every morning, she would help us with our uniform,

And she made us ready before my dad pressed his bike’s horn;

Very soon our lives were back to normal,

But in her absence, everything was again abnormal.

She sacrificed for us every trivial pleasure,

What she has done for us nothing can measure.

She shared with us every little joy and sorrow,

Everything was real and nothing was hollow.

She always stood by us when we were sad or when we cry,

In the blink of an eye decades had gone by.

I never thought she would be someone so ‘special’

And I am thankful that God gave us a guarding ‘angel’.

People never thought she would take care of us, as she was a stranger;

But she proved everybody wrong and protected us from every kind of danger.

Some people were there who always came to complain,

But she didn't even care to listen what they were saying.

I wonder, in our lives if she wouldn't have come,

I don’t know by now what we would have become?

It’s because of her what we are now.....

She is the only one, in front of whom I will always bow.

“When the wind blows”

Every time when the wind blows,

I feel like flying like a bird;

In every direction my heart flows,

And listen to the nature’s music that’s been heard.

Whenever I was alone and there was none to give me company,

There was always the wind for me to accompany;

She used to fill my mind with stories of fantasy,

And always left in my heart a deep mark of ecstasy.

When the wind blows from east to west,

The stress of my life goes to rest;

I forget all about the life’s test,

Wish I could forever stay in her wonderful nest.

I wished, I could go along with the wind,

And see the places I have never seen;

Enjoy each and every moment of my life,

And live life like an epic and make memories evergreen........

This is a poem I have written for a friend of mine, with the hope of seeing a smile in her face like sunshine.........

"My special friend Ritu"

I met a girl in the M.Com program in Dibrugarh university

 Who seemed wise as well as witty;

I came to know her name was Ritu

She was beautiful, very tall and smart too.

Very soon we two became friends

She always used to follow the fashion trends.

I am glad; we got a chance to know each other

She lived with her mom and dad and had two brother.

We liked to spend time with each other long and long

Life seemed to us as sweet as a song;

 In studies among all she was the brightest

But used to be tensed and confused before exams the highest.

She always believed in love stories like "Twilight"

And she dreams of sharing her life with "Mr Right".

The moment she stepped into my life I knew she was special

But mentally I was always in a state of denial.

I knew she always loved and cared for me

That’s the reason why she always shared things with me.

I was the one, who she seemed to trust;

And I tried hard not to fade her trust like dust.

Everybody else thought she had a bad attitude

But I knew; from inside she was nice and cute.

I also knew she was very sensitive and emotional,

But I don't know how far she is devotional.

She always searched for a friend in need;

And my apologies whenever I wasn't there for her in deed

On the day of her engagement, I remembered how special to me were you;

And now I am afraid of losing you.

I don’t know why I am describing you;

Maybe because I don't know any better way of treasuring you.

I wished, in my life she could always stay

But we both know; we gotta go a different way.

Now the bond of friendship has grown forever strong;

Hope this lasts for lifelong!!!

I'm never gonna forget the moments we spent together,
I'll miss you and remember you forever and ever.....
