I’d always hoped in my life to meet
A wily, wisey crooked man
Who would conjure things up
And give me cryptic advice

A guardian angel, But not so nice
A magician, But with some wisdom too
Ancient, but not so old
Ugly, but pleasing to the eyes

As I look back with grown up eyes
I see just such a man was in my life
Preaching, protecting, ever indulging
Scolding, amusing,

Tall and strong – his blue eyes crinkling
White hair and walking stick

"F1", the SMS from Dr. Saab said.
"What is it" Dr. Michele called back.
Saab was the new computer savvy neurosurgeon in our hospital, always talking about gigabytes, networking, Blogs and PowerPoint Wizards.
"Mickey, I am baffled with this sarcoma patient. He is not responding to any treatment."
"Try Radiotherapy"
"Didn't work"
"Four drug chemotherapy"
"Had to stop because of side effects"
"Then go in for surgical removal"
"The tumor is very huge, Mickey, I have no experience with such types"
"Then F1 will not bail you out, Saab, what you need is a Wizard. Shift him to OR-8. I will be there in 30 minutes."
Dr. Michele Jordan, the wizard of neurosurgery, was getting ready for another challenging surgery.

I'm a wizard no more.

I was a wizard. With the pen as my wand. The world my canvas.

It was a pomegranate evening, with juicy bursts every now and then.

I was a dreamer. I weaved my magic upon my sheet. As I sat under a tree.

I wrote. I warmed to the paper. And the heat of my magic made my cheeks cherry.

It was magical. I had won. I was crowned with the literary prize.

I wore a hat. And a superficial blood robe. I got a contract.

Money like falling rain. Staring face down at stardom. And then nothing.

Writer's block. Cold and thick as the blood of a rapist.

I couldn't write no more. I'm a wizard no more.

Greatest Wizard on the earth, him people feared.

Here was he lying down, broken and shattered.

He could produce roses and rabbits from thin air.

He could disappear from here and appear there.

Turning frog into a prince was a child's play.

A gentle wave of his wand turned night into day.

Magical power slowly got over his head.

He thought he could make people alive, dead.

He wanted to conquer the earth, stars and sky.

Only hindrance was a child he never knew why.

His curse backfired, his wand burnt away,

When he tried to kill the lovely child that day.

Shield of motherly love was protecting the child.

The Greatest Wizard lay there humiliated and riled.

Light…from the table lamp was extremely bright. I was leaning over the table with specs up. It was 20 hrs of continuous struggle. The table was full of scattered parts, I tore them out from the radio, it was just the sensor I had to fix and then magic! I will screw up the whole locking system, tomorrow.

It was dawn when the security heard the click and I went for the sleep, a sound sleep. When I took the challenge didn't know how I could do that, but I knew I will and the damage was done. Everyone was worried, me too, thinking about the consequences but the sense of accomplishment overpowered it, Robotics Wizard, they call me…I smiled.

In black and white skins

in feather and the fins

In green petals and red flowers

in thorns and the scars

In kings building their empire

in saints living in ur desire

In rain and rainbows so high

in sun, moon, and stars of sky

In each mountain,river and shrine

in whole realm of universe divine

Incarnate in bones

and carved in stones

in formless attire

in air you respire

athiest find you in science

astute search you in conscience

you are in beloved's look

equally in the holy book

In rich, poor, insane,and wise

O wizard of wizards....

omnipresent you are and yet in disguise...

I know a wizard, who’s magic was boundless.
His hair wasn’t wizardly, but wisdom? Yes…
…wisdom to match any wizened wizard half a thousand years old.

He’d lean on his famous staff and walk, casting spells…
… spells sung passionately by the history.
… spells that would draw him an army of carpenters, farmers, blacksmiths and school teachers; and with a pinch of salt he could unite them together for the heroics no Indian will ever forget.

His words could spread magic faster than forest-fire.

Through his magical specs, he saw a weapon none had seen in millenniums before…
…the weapon of peace.

I know a wizard loved by the world… for the magic he once cast still spreads…

Ooh, you! Never mind, I’m gonna go ask grandpa.

Off she trudged in her golden starred black velvet robe to the one man who held answers to all of life’s not so easy questions. What did boys know anyway? Stupid worms. She was a wizard and she knew it!

Grandpa, Peewee and Charlie Brown say I’m a witch.

Why, that’s wonderful Marge! I told your mother you were the clever one…

But pa!!! I am a wizzaaard! Witches don’t know about all the forces and..

Pumpkin, I know you’re a wizard.

Really?

Really, really.

Priyanka (120)

She looked resplendent in a dress of turquoise blue, with her hair plaited in two neat pigtails. She looked cute. Her big, brown eyes shone, as she danced with the mayor. For a six-year old, she could cut a fine circle around the dance floor. But her eyes were looking around, he knew, searching for him. And when she saw him, her face lit up with joy, and she ran towards him, launching into his arms and said, “Daddy, why are you staring at me?” He became aware of the traffic around him and realized that he was on his begging route. He looked at his daughter, fondly, and thought, “Even in this tattered dress, she’s still my little princess.”

"Rajkumari!! You are still sleeping. Who will wash the dirty utensils, your brothers?"
Born after four sons, she was treated like a real princess by her brothers. "What is my little princess doing" Joginder Singh used to call, when he returned from the office. She was very beautiful, and as she grew, she became even more elegant, delicate and charming. "My little princess! You will rule his home" he told her when he fixed her marriage with Rajat, a software engineer with Infosys. Rajat was from a well educated decent middle class family.
"Just because your dad named you Rajkumari, you think you are a princess" Rajat was shouting, "You think you will sleep and my mother will wash utensils."

A Love Song For A Princess

Your lustrous hair
weaves tales of fascination.
Your deeply expressive eyes,
mark the beauty of creation.

Your grace and style
are the cause of envy.
Your gracious smile
is as beautiful as can be.

Your royalty is plain
for all ordinary mortals to see.
I give you my heart
and I give it to you for free.

You will always be
the salt of my life.
If I should be so lucky
to make you my wife.

And in pain and tears
and happiness and joy...
I beg you to be the Queen,
of this ordinary boy.

Princess

The spotlights were on her. She was dressed in a flowing white gown with a sparkling little tiara upon her princely head.
She screamed with bellowing hate.
"Get out of my castle and never set foot in it ever again.
You have tarnished my name and the very land you were born.
No man shall ever cross me again. And let this be an example. You dare hoot your brains on the fact that this land may one day be run by a woman. Aren't you ashamed of yourself you male chauvinistic pig."

"Cut", screamed the director.

She pulled out her phone, called and said "Dad, I promised you I'd be a princess someday."

The Princess was coming to Sydney for the first time.
A grand reception was awaiting her arrival at the harbor.
A huge crowd had gathered for a glimpse of her.
They said she was very beautiful, most elegant and graceful.
I had never seen a royal beauty since I came to town from the jungles.
So I sat on a branch of the big banyan tree overhanging the sea.
Suddenly there was a big hullabaloo.
I saw that a big ship was coming in our direction.
It was a grand ship, very beautiful, most elegant and graceful.
I was looking for the regal lady on the ship,
when I saw written on the bow of the ship,
"The Caribbean Princess"

Santonu (112)

Bright sunshine and moonlight could touch you….
Morning breeze was privileged to play with your hairs,
when you closed your bright blue eyes.
Rain drops caressed your glowing face whenever they wished,
soak you with the chill and pleasure,
Green grass always welcomed you with their smiling face,
ever happy to carry you on their soft shoulder
Fragrance of the flowers could make you smile
A smile for which world went upside down

I wished, I could show you the beautiful world through my eyes,
give the warmth of the heart no one could imagine
But I only wished..
Someday I would hold your face and
kiss your eyes… My blind princess!

Sarang Mahajan (120)

High-born was she,
her father a grey king, a white crown upon his crest

Her babble was a tinkle,
When she leaped stone to stone, dancing through the high forest

Then one day she stepped out,
At father’s feet fell the child, curious, growing

Soon she was beautiful,
Young, meandering through the green hills, flowing

The world was then changing,
Her hosts now harsh and dry, blazing rays were vultures upon her

But high-born she was,
She mellowed them all with her blessings, growing greater

Then… she met her prince,
A great, blue emperor, waiting with an open embrace

River Nara looked back once,
She’d meet her father again some day, but not as a child, as a true princess

I am weak in 'tenses' and she was the one who made me remind the greatest lesson of grammar or should i say of life.. "Live in present, leave past and future". she came like a melody in my life. i can still feel the delicate touch of her little fingers. the way she laughed while jumping with balloons in her hand, wearing polka dotted frock is still visible to me. the sovenirs and momentos she brought and made me proud are still in my showcase. "Papa i love you too", i can still hear the words. today she is getting married and from now she would be queen of someone's heart but i face no problem of "tenses" while predicting that she would always be mine sweet little "princess".
