Queen of Laziness...

Ask me to smile...i may not...cos it might pain my cheeks

Ask me to cry...i may not...cos it might trouble my eyes

Ask me to listen...i may not...cos it might bother my ears

Ask me to play...i may not...cos it might trouble my body

Ask me to work...i may not...cos it might tire me totally

But one thing you ask me ...i might never say no

Ask me to sleep...i will...cos i m titled

the "QUEEN OF LAZINESS"

The red saree with its golden spots carefully spun had given bright colours to my dreams I had woven on yarns of childhood games. She looked like a bride in her bright red saree celebrating life with golden bangles, tingling the bell of festivity. She smelt of jasmine. Now, her beauty is a blurred reflection of the past. The bangles are broken and red saree has faded. She now smells of kerosene that I had once accidentally spilled on her. Her smile did not elicit a smile from me.
