Poem

Returning to India, with a prestigious Award,
From USA after a long period of three years.
Some friends in Bombay desired and insisted
That I should stay at Bombay for a few days.
They insisted I should throw a garden party
To celebrate the Award and to meet old buddies.
The Party was arranged in the garden of a friend
Who was from film industries, my best friend Ravi.
I left everything to Ravi for party arrangement
To inviting common poet friends and the menu. 
It was a small party around twenty poet-friends
Who wrote in their vernacular lingo and English.

I started welcoming the friends who arrived in time
And Ravi was just about to give his introductory speech
A not so fair a lady all of a sudden rushed into the garden
Followed by a huge crowd in great rage and anger.
Everything was turned upside down, including the delicacies
And there was a great peace after the battle.
Ravi apologized; he invited her as she was a celebrity
In the *Bollywood and a fair song-writer and a dancer.

The reason why the angry crowd followed her was 
A rumor has it; she declared that she will pose naked
If India won the World Cricket cup, being played in Bombay.

*Bombay Film Industries
