"The Hindu"

Who is She?
A cook at home
Chef at work place
Caring mother and a wife
Why did you like her?
Her look was that of a mother
To a son , coming back from the border
After all, I was a stranger
How do you Know?
I can read eyes , the halo 'kohl' on eyelids, 'tilak' on forehead
Keeping her calm, one black, other red
But ready to fight injustice
Why did you meet?
To know whether i am destined to be Great?
Whether my Dreams will come true?
Because I was feeling blue
I was looking again and again at the blue-skies
It seemed 'The Great One' wasn't accepting apologies
Where did you write this?
Thought of it at a terminal and wrote it in a charabanc
What was her name?All I know it was perfume
