Make a Wish ...

The title is misleading. There is an organization by the same name
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of India(http://www.makeawishindia.org/), which is part of the largest not-for-profit wish granting organization in the world, serving 30 + countries with International affiliates on five continents. But I will be talking about somehthing totally different.

I will talk about a friend of mine who will be getting married soon... and she made a wish... she wanted me to write a poem for her. I truly believe that as good samaritans, we should grant the wishes of two kinds of people, one who is going to Die and one who is getting married...

So, I put together a few rhyming words and managed to write four verses.

Now, whether to call it a poem or not is at the reader's discretion but the person whom I wrote this for believed I should post it somewhere. I chose my own blog because I do not want to be accountable for the time lost by the reader while going through the lines below:
( My friends may try a hand at guessing who the person in question is... The first 5 correct entries will get the previlage of posting gaalis on my blog for taking them through a painstaking experience of reading such ordinary stuff)

The message was loud & clear, was spreading at lightening pace,
My friend rushed to me and said " Man! You gotta see her face".
The lecture has its effect, for I wasn't able to comprehend,
Was he talking about a new classmate, or some latest trend?
"There she is", he pointed, to the corner of the canteen,
He was as hopeful and excited as, an innocent pre-teen.


"I hope she's single", he said, in his hoarse & squeaky voice,
She painted a picture of calm, amidst all the buzz and noise.
Some guys said she's charming, others said she's all poise,
But they all unanimously believed, she is the perfect choice.
"Please forget her", I told my friend, she isn't your ideal date,
"She's beauty with brains" I declared and quickly sealed his fate.


To her acquaintances, the above line may seem to be a rumour,
Just laugh it off, the above line’s said to add some good humour.
I've known her well & been her friend, for about three years,
Along the while, I’ve come to admire, her popularity among peers.
Always a glint of hope in her eye, seems like a shinning pearl,
Seems a tough nut to crack, but she's just a simple girl.

To grab 'er attention, guys tried all tricks, tried acting rather smart,
But all it took was a Robin Hood, to steal her golden heart.
In a few days time, he'll marry her; he will take her far away,
No matter where she goes in our hearts, she's always bound to stay.
As she gets ready to wear the crown, of a nice and homely wife,
I seize this moment to wish her a very prosperous married life.
