Cheers to Life

A poem penned down on the 28th of Feb, when salary was credited and I was down with a very bad fever :


As I sit here, fever shooting up

Mind yearning for a steaming cup

I cannot, but wonder what life is this

Only to think it used to be bliss

Gone are those days, weekends spent out and out

Oh the countless times, when we had nightout(s)

If all is gone to do this work

I so want to rip life with fork

Oh how badly I want to weep

Wait, the phone goes beep beep

Yes, I got it – the much awaited salary

No one’s around to see me go merry

Mind suddenly active, all plans right

Bengaluru awaits me in a fortnight

Oh forget it, forget this strife

I am happy, ‘Cheers to life’
