My Dad — a virtuoso, once hailed among India’s finest — was one of three English gentlemen credited with bringing Western classical music to India, helping to lay the foundation for a tradition that would echo for generations.
His artistry shaped the sound of a nation, and his

Soul of a child
My twin was delusional, he thought he was a star
He told me people recognized him, near and far
Strangers gave him thumbs up, pretty women smiled
Within him they saw the soul of a child.
I said "Jerry, no offense, you are poor at conversation
People yawn, go away, for the dialog duration
You lack warmth, enthusiasm, any vital spark
You're

Hope from your stardom, shining in dark
To uplift my spirit......................forever free

Superstar
Orange megastar of rosy early morning skies,
Richer than all of the others' remote sparkling,
Powerful, charming and extremely charismatic,
Drawing all of nature, and the beautiful people.
Sunset stunner, captivating the adoring press,
Though black space is your permanent address!
A reclusive eccentric superstar, and so creative,
For the summertime is overcrowded with blooms.
And during nights, you lend light to pale

Entertain the neighbours by doing the mambo

Jiggery-pokery
Taylor Alison Swift
jilted country roots and
embraced pop sound.
Spilled her ink at midnight
indefatigably.
Teenage breakup anthems
made her profound.
Hippity- Hoppity
Taylor Alison Swift
worked two times harder to
make her thought art.
"A million-dollar song"
enthusiastically
drove her to go beyond
and topped the chart.

A Song of Hope For Stardom
Travelling the road to stardom
Following pathways to our dreams
My best buddy, guitar and I
Share hopes, visions, wishes and schemes.
We've written an awesome love song
Which eagerly waits to be heard
There's a special kind of magic
In both the music and the words.
We're on our way to Tennessee
Over sea, road and railway track
To Nashville City,

Destined For Stardom
My memory allows me at this very late stage
To still recall a picture of me at 4 years of age
In my hooded brown snowsuit
Front walk looking cute
Destined for stardom, earning a dirty big wage

From Darkness To Stardom
Every child is born into this world crying,
Little did this poor child know, tears would fall for the rest of her life.
Born into a world of abuse, heartache and pain,
With a drug addict, alcoholic abusive father and a heartless mother.
Every day was the same, left alone with only silence and darkness,
Dirty clothes, little to eat

Fame and Stardom
Attainment of success, stardom and fame
Remains the ultimate dream of many
Who seek the publication of their name
Upon the future pages of history
The journey to such a destination
Requires effort and dedication
Those who at last gain such recognition
Enjoy a well deserved satisfaction
Some celebrities who make this journey
Find coping with this new life can be rough
