My Bio

My Bio


Born fish, a number three, perfect swimmer in sea,
Dearest child of my parents, eldest of the three,
Born with a silver spoon, a royal childhood,
Romantic and lively teens, witty and keen,
By God's grace, blessed with the best,

Burnt night oil in studies, to later realise,
Education doesn't surely turn you wise,
Married to my love, I am on cloud nine,
One sweet son, reason to dine and wine,

Extremist, passionate and quite a lot crazy,
Always on the toes, never ever feeling lazy,
Travel, adventure, peace and nature loving,
Dear friends my beats tugged at heartstrings,

Corruption and cruelty I can't tolerate,
Subjugation of women the most I hate,
Greed and selfish attitude makes me cry,
Gender inequality a curse so rampant but why?

New sunshine brings hope, it's my supper, it's my tibia,
Upma daughter of Anand and Sumitra, Chandigarh, India !

Dear Dr. Upma, I already knew you were not lazy, but didn't know your came from a royal family. What a wonderful childhood you had. I had subjugation of women too and we punish offenders in the states. So many wonderful things I've learned about you from this poem! My favorite line is the reference to education not making one wise. Wisdom is born of kindness and good judgment. (We both love to swim-I'm a crab. LOL) Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn

Very clever and informative bio, Upma ... and extremely well presented in rhyme. You rightly declare that "Education doesn't surely turn you wise", but you were wise enough to turn to education!! Hope you're having a lovely weekend. // paul
