Saree had been long dismissed six metered Indian bandage  What if I trip and they find me lame? Waited outside for roll call Pending verdict… It seemed they forgot me in between global warming and market rate Later I sigh a smile A damn new brand. Half a dozen head nods filled the room Was it me or the roasted groundnuts? They approved of! Or was it the cold coffee? Potted destiny. Am I to wed all these nodding heads? Who is father? Who is son? Who is uncle? Who is neighbor? Why should you care? Do you  have a choice?
