The twinkle visible in her eye
That I saw and misunderstood
Feeling I thought was mutual
Soon the other way that stood
...
I thought it was never compulsive
Yet you tried to be the exclusive
Your behavior sure was talkative
That alone cannot be the positive
...
Politicians across the World
Criticised national heralds
They keep their cool and calm
In any place or situation
...
Everyone was apprehensive
About what he would utter
This was the day conclusive
People will generally flatter
...
It is sure possible to witness
As innumerable examples already
The struggle of some people
And with the smile of the time
...
The ocean said to the river
Come join august company
Of those trying to be bigger
I am happy with my being
...
With the tremendous progress
World witnessing globalization
Came along with this were ours
Widening of the new horizons
...
Her grace charmed everyone
Her simplicity of the persona
Could have impressed everyone
Beneath was the hidden corona
...
She hated child labour
But did not help any
To make a living
Or to go to school
...

Misjudgement
The twinkle visible in her eye
That I saw and misunderstood
Feeling I thought was mutual
Soon the other way that stood
It just was my misjudgment
My emotions had withstood
For no fault of the either side
Bitterness neither could avoid
Now we know how silly it was
Big laugh neither could avoid
