This piece was written while Ra was working as an Assistant Manager at a tea-estate at Idukki, Permid, Kerala (not necessarily in that order!).
Actually, I wrote this late one night when high fever would not let me sleep.
I happened to lay my hands on a printout of a mail from Rahul that mentioned his experiences with snakes and leeches at the estate and I guess it kinda' went to my head, cranked it up and this is what came out!
Here goes:
Snakes n' leeches though not on verdant beaches;
n' when they snipe at him, 'Rahul_does' screeches!
Try as he might
to tell us it's delight
I'm sure it's fright...
that beats out the daylight
outta' our chappie so bright
(An' u always thought he was a tubelight... !!!!)
Well siree! he may resemble a squid
but our man's still the 'Braveheart of Permid'
With umbrella as lance
when he breaks into war-dance
Among all Idukki folk spreads the buzz
"Hail Rahul_does!!!!"

Thank you, Your Excellency!
Unfortunately, I could not locate the email in my inbox. It seems like I deleted it, without realising how much I would miss it later on. It would be good if you can manage to find it.

Thanks Shirazi Sa’ab!
Well, I haven’t really tried writing poetry since I wrote this (if this may be considered as poetry!). I was reminded of this by some of Asma’s own poetry that she posted on her blog.
