Happy Birthday
Happy birthday, my love!
Hope you have a wonderful day,
You have become your own person,
Found your paths and lessons,
Enjoying to cherish solitude and company,
And learning to challenge practices and policy.
You are a blessing beyond measure,
My most cherished treasure,
May your life be a mix of purpose and pleasure,
Days of hard work and leisure,
As you go along your chosen way,
May grace and humility always stay,
Acquire new skills to practice and play.
And think deeply before you sway.
Happy happy birthday!!
Loved you yesterday,
Love you more today
And will love you everyday!

My Poem on MasticadoreUSA
Failings
Our varied frailties,
Like our qualities,
make us unique,
and open us to critique .
But what is a failing?
Is it a lack of a skill?
or an excess of an emotion-
like anger, rage, lethargy or resignation.
Are we born with some?
or do these gradually come?
uninvited and unwelcome,
Influencing what we become.
Does a failing come alone?
Or in a pair?
gluttony and indolence,
arrogance and indifference.
Can we overcome a flaw,
when it's still raw,
or is it better to accept it as a draw,
and destiny's unwritten law.
Tagore’s Classic Choker Bali Showcased in the Bay Area
By any measure, adapting and showcasing a classic is a herculean undertaking. But that task was made more challenging because many cinematic and on-stage adaptations of Tagore’s beloved literary classic have preceded the Bay Area Drama Company production. My review in the attached link.
