ODE TO MY TORCH - By Kevin Green

.

As you lay, upon the shelf
'Twas then that I first knew
That I must soon possess you
In shiny Red NOT Blue.

Your curvy frame
and sturdy grip
To me they were quite plain.
For what I loved
about you most
Was not second but MAIN.

The way you blinked
Once ON then OFF
It took away my breath
Your tiny bulb and shiny face
Will haunt me till my death.

We left the store
just you and I
and couldn't wait till night
As soon as we got home that eve
I switched off all the lights.

With trembling hand 
I held you up
And softly clicked your switch
But not a gleam or beam you gave
You naughty little bitch !!

Cuckoo Clock Installed

They got this as a gift from their cousins Shiv & Rishi in Delhi and had just installed it in their room after much discussion on which wall, height etc.

It was fun till 10pm at night, then drove us all nuts.... I disabled the cuckoo the next morning.

Alisha Reads to Armaan

I feel simultaneously happy, touched & proud. My cubs.

[ Afternoon siesta a/c switched on, peak Hyderabad summer, cuddled up in a cover and reading. ]
