snow-driving

here, may I present before you mezbaan n meherbaan,
the new sport of snow-driving.
a new game, full of adventure. alas, only to be played where there is nothing but snow.
when ur out to meet a friend, or simply shuttling from school to home.
when ur running to meet a deadline, or an occasional bout at the bar/restaurant.
all the time u can play the game of snow-driving.

Disregarding the heeds of fellow men, I decided to drive this winter, irrespective of whether dharti hile, ya aasmaan gire or there is 6-inches of snow. shuru, shuru mein thokte thokte..matlab thok hi diyaa. n then i saw the prospect, maybe inspired by one of the skating sessions I had.

let it skid, doode. let it skid. let the snow yield. let the wheels go astray.

If u have faith, and balance on the steer,
bless thee o bachcha.
the game is all urs.
u may go criss-cross,
hoho rem the way is all urs
(for no men of this world appear fond of this game in 6-inches snow).
u mite skid past the red-lights,
dont worry cos they'll forgive u,
for was it nething but the snow?
play the sound of snow along,
sometimes dense sometimes waste.
once a grrr in a haste,
once a khrr to ur taste.
and when the inside warmth is tantalisingly close,
do not pause to park at shore.
bring it in S, the gaily style,
crushing the snow with all ur mite.
and perchance, the rear meets one of its kin,
don't tremble, no fear
for all's fair in the game of snow-driving.
and either way, there is none to hear.

to meherbaanon, aapse bhi yehi aasha hai.
is abhootpoorva khel se adbhut aanand uthaayen.
man mein aahlaad failaayen, soul ki tripti paayen.
