The Nocturnal Visitor

The baby is fast asleep
Smiling in her sleep

The idiot box unplugged to rest
After all, the soaps are one big mess

Elders are at ease and snoring in peace
In (tea) estates there are no thieves

As the house goes silent
The clock ticks very violent

Absence made the heart fonder
But the eyes could remain open no longer

For it was way past midnight
And 2:30am in the night

Just then a noise
Woke me from my trance

As the rustle got stronger
I held my breath longer

Who is there? I ask
But hear no voice..

More crackling follows
And fear grips my throat

Closing the book I read,
Step by step I tread

Powered by the moonlight
A stranger in the night

A quick peep through the curtain
Revealed a giant mountain

Sure there was someone
but no human this one

Two long tusks on my right
Sheer magificience the very sight

The baby might wake up and let out a wail
or the dog might go crazy and wag his tail

The heart skips a beat
To survive a giant tusker,is no mean feat

But he meant no harm
And went off so calm

Quietly out the fence
Without any hindrance

Only if us humans
Could learn from him,some sense

We would mind our business
And avoid all nonsense

So dear friends, after a long slumber,Iam resurfacing back in India.Residing abroad for almost a year,the blood is now heavily infused with a strong dose of patriotism.Never loved my country better.

Inspite of having quite a few helping hands back home,one still couldnot get back to blogging.Time and again,drafts composed in the head,just got lost in oblivion.Every spare moment one was virtually whipped to rush to matrimonial portals.Yes,those online matrimonial portals.Well,guys wait a minute,not that I had any ideas,am still happily married.Was doing my duty diligently as an elder sister to the little brother,sigh! he is not that little anymore.

Browsing through hundreds of bride profiles,it was indeed an ardous task.The marriage market is quite complex..with the volume of choices and demands,one is bound to get lost.Now,the parents are real happy that I never put them through this misery.Though,I can never deny the process(hunt) was sure entertaining,atleast for me ;) Well,you will know why..read through few of these bride intros from one such matrimony portal.
