Seldom I was looking for you And seldom did I think about you Never knew how you came to rest In my erratic thoughts And random dreams Our rude conversations Had their own charm And now these short sugar coated talks Make my day You, with all your flaws Somehow hold your sway Over this…

Open letter to my future mother-in-law
Respected Mother-in-law Funny, how people close to me keep teasing me that you are to be dreaded and revered at.
