My state of mind

A poem sans rhyme! Yet...

Unheard melodies!

Keats version of melody rings in my ears.
The sweeter one, I mean.
To love something that you can perceive is easy.
To appreciate the unperceived is easier.

For you cant find a flaw with them.
They are perfect through their obscurity.
Refreshingly new each time.
Alas, they last only until they choose.

Tickets booked, arrangements made, T shirts printed. There were tiny angels in our class volunteers of Raghavan and Akila.  There were willing partners in crime who joined at once, and then the reluctant attendees. A few recalcitrant ones stayed silent. But as the date got by, the tide became higher. What was amazing is that people who had left the school mid way were as eager to come as ones who had graduated out of it. This boisterous bunch had an impact on people, irrespective of the time they had been in it. For me, It started with an early morning road trip with BK and Siva. We three hadn't even spoken a dozen times in school, but bonded like old buddies. Aided by common love for contextual comedy, music and gossip, 7 hours seemed like a breeze. The actual meet up at the beach resort was seamles...
