There is a little boy His name is Neel Cuddly, cute and oh-so-warm His hugs feel He is a naughty boy He runs all day long Mommy often thinks Oh, what now Neel has done wrong? He loves water Splash-splash-splash he does In his massi’s pool With sun shinning above Daddy takes him in his car Car goes vroom-vroom-vroom Neel sits like a little prince Leaving no room Neel plays with daadi Big block train they make Chu-chu-chu-chuck train goes In between games they take 50-50 breaks Of all people Neel loves Gaurav Uncle very much Always chasing his uncle Like an adorable Donald Duck His dada and bua live far away They miss him oh-so-very-much FaceTime, WhatsApp, Phone calls That's how they stay in touch Neel loves to read Sometimes he reads upside down He goes to all bookshops In his little town And when Neel will be a big boy Mommy says he already is May he be so-so-so-much happy We all wish *I wrote this rhyme for my nephew Neel. 

2021 is finally over. It has been a year with lots of ups and downs emotionally. I'm glad it is over. A few things I wrote in December. Date Published 12/11/2021 मरने से साहब अब कहाँ हम डरते है   हालत ये है कि अब अपनों में भी पराया महसूस करते है 12/12/2021 हर ढलती शाम करती हूँ आपका इंतज़ार फिर से कीजिये ना एक बार इश्क़ बेशुमार 12/27/2021 इक हसीन लम्हें को यूँ बार-बार जिया तुम से ही बेपनाह इश्क़ बार-बार किया Hoping for a better 2022 and working towards it as well. Love, Saru
