To dad-
A virtuous person,
A virtuous person,
A perfect poem- writer,
There is no one smarter,
Than my dear father!
25th October, the most special occasion,
Without which, the world would be missing a very valuable person,
It should be considered a worldwide holiday,
So that we can sit at home and celebrate your birthday.
It is for these reasons we make it a big deal,
We love you so much; we need you to feel,
And this time since you are not with us,
We’ll make it a point [in your heart] to be with you!!

To Ravi Perappan-
I sat for hours at end,
trying to figure out,
what to write to defend the fact-
that i cared about your day.
I thought and thought,
but words dont just appear,
i strained my brain till it got hot,
but things still weren't clear.
So now you know,
if i come birthday wish-less-
exactly why it is so.
And if i do,
manage to rhyme words to wish you,
please dont get me wrong.....
coz even if next year's wishes are twice as long,
nothing could possibly,
say how much you meant to me.

To daddy-
You may lecture,
You may scold,
May be sarcastic,
and harsh and cold.
Sometimes you’re mean about my hair,
Or about the way I sing,
But if I’m sad or sulking,
You can keep me laughing!
When you’re around,
We’re giggling all the time,
You can make us laugh at every sound,
Even if you’re just jogging.
You may make us do math,
And other things ‘useful’,
But you help us understand-
‘It doesn’t help being beautiful,
Science will help you stand.’
You light up our lives,
And make us smile .
We know that for us,
You’d go 10 extra miles.

To mom-
You design the best dresses,
you cook the best food,
i'll just say you sing okay...
coz i dont wanna be rude.
Well.... Todays your birthday,
and Valantine's day too,
all day, you'll gat your way,
we hope you're not feeling blue.
Presents and letters,
will come your way,
(maybe bouquets of flowers as well)
from all those who love you and remember your birthday!

to esha-
There was once this little girl,
with curly black hair, and pinkish cheeks,
she looked the part of an angel
who'd come down to visit, for maybe a week.
No one could truthfully say,
she was a vision of perfection,
maybe perfect, on the bad side,
maybe good, kinda, if i lied!
Laying everything aside,
she's my sister, 'THE ESHA'
a name that doesnt scare.
Maybe we could call her 'THE SISTER'
and feel a little fear.
It was a good day, though,
the day she was born,
so i might as unravel and wish her,
A very happy birthday!!

to mum, again-
Everyday, you walk in the door,
sometimes later than half past four
weighed down by bags, your black camera case,
A tired, but happy look on your face.
We miss your noise, your utter lack of clothes,
your crazy lyrics, not to forget those,
your begging for hug after kiss
- that time your away at office.
We love to hear the noise of the bell,
when we've had a day from hell,
we know in two seconds you'll give us a hug,
and everything is gone, with a kiss, a shrug.
We really love you, though we make you mad,
sometimes a little disappointed and sad,
but today, i guess, we'll leave that alone,
today is YOUR day, your very own.
