['STARBUCK' is a name which is beyond unique and its funny how colleagues and acquaintances used to call my daada 'star' shortly that people almost forgot his actual name was Starbuck..I always love it  when my friends call me by that name..this is a small tribute to that special star in the sky twinkling and gazing at me..]

                               A TRIBUTE...                                                                              

HE GAVE ME THE LIFE OF A FREE BIRD

HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE A GIRL

NOT THE STEREOTYPE THAT IS IMPRISONED

WITHIN THE FOUR WALLS OF THE HOUSE

WHOSE LIFE IS DEFINED AS A HOUSE WIFE,

A MANUAL MACHINE WHICH WORKS 24X7

IN THE KITCHEN..

       

        HE GAVE ME TWO CHOICES

        EITHER TO FOSTER MY WEAKNESSES

        OR TO MAKE A CHANGE,

        TO PROVE THE WORLD,TO BE A GIRL-

        IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE REGRETTED ABOUT

        BUT SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF..

        I CHOSE THE LATTER AND STRONGER,

        REALISING MY TRUE INNER SELF

        I GREW...

HE SEEMS TO ME LIKE A PROPHET

WHO HAD A VISION OF THE FUTURE

PERHAPS HE KNEW, WHAT THE WORLD

WOULD TURN OUT TO BE

AND PERHAPS HE KNEW

HE DONT HAVE MUCH TIME TO TEACH ME

 HOW TO HANDLE IT

      ITS SAD HOW HE LEFT ME TOO SOON

      AND HOW HE FELL ASLEEP

      IN THE ARMS OF FATE, FOREVER..

      BUT LATER DID I REALISE

      TEARS AND PAIN OF DEMISE 

      IS NOT WHAT HE DESERVES

      NO MORE I CRIED AND NO MORE-

       I GRIEVED..

MY LIFE IS THE ONLY THING WORTH HIM

AND HOW I LIVE IT 

IS MY TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT TEACHER

-MY FATHER......
