Four years. Today, we have been together for four years.For starters, I will have you know that today my country marks her 60th year of independence. I really should be celebrating that but all I managed today was to change the wallpaper on my computer to reflect the Indian flag colors. However, that doesn’t mean[…]
New York City Between her and me, it was certainThat a poem would mean curtainsFor my attempts of its capture,Of her nature and demeanor Many have tried beforeTo romanticize New YorkAnd while they have failedI shall also humbly trail!
