Chris's Borthday Poem - October 8th 2014

Continuing my theme of Birthday poems,
I sat down to write one for you,
Words seem to have disappeared,
As I cant find the right one's for you...

So let me make an attempt,
To tell you such an entertainment,
It has been to watch you settle
In a fun, bizarre and crazy environment...

May 2013 is a milestone, an adventurous step for you,
Adjusting in a country, quite foreign to you,
thought of eating at Vaishali's make your eyes lit up,
Enjoying jalebis and ladoos for breakfast, aren't you living it up?

I promised you a retirement, a promise that will happen!
But then, who will teach the kids to ensure their futures we shapen...
There is so much you have experienced, there is so much you can share,
So forget the dreams of afternoon naps, lets go help those kids in despair...

I know driving is your hobby, so is cruising at high speeds,
But when drivers cut in mindlessly, it sure does push your limits..
Let me tell you something, most Indians have a PHD in driving,
Oh those stubborn Punekars, they wont change for you, so just enjoy your riding...

Dealing with Indian systems, is last on your "things to do",
Every time you wait in queue,
I chuckle at the murmur of , " do they have single digit IQ"...

UK, Aussie, US, every country you traveled,
Perfection and quality is always what you nurtured,
"Its OK na" attitude, surely makes you grumpy,
Just chill my dear, its only because we are too many....

All said and done, its just amusing and amazing...
Amazing, that you are here, a step many only think of taking...

For someone who is chatty, for someone who loves to talk,
Its a shame that the language has become a block,
Cultures, festival, traditions, hindi, marathi the list of unknowns is long,
However your sporty spirit and smiling face, makes up for it all...

Thank you for being here, making my dream yours,
Thank you for giving meaning, to this blessed life of ours!!!
