I yearn to look forward when I am away from you
There is something quaint that pulls me to you wherever I go.
Is it the warmth of people, sumptuous food, serene beaches or feeling of coming home?
It’s difficult to choose.
You provoked, stimulated and inspired me,
I am what I am because of you.
For you have instilled in me to believe in myself and be hospitable
You may not win awards for being clean and green but you sure find your way to people’s heart.
What is the essence of you?
Does it lie in the beautiful temples?, the bustling Ranganathan Street?, the expanding identity of its citizens, or is it the famous filter kaapi that is uniquely you!
Not to forget the Marghazi festive season and the beautiful kolam that adorns every house.
Where ever I go my heart will always be here, in the city’s length and breadth that I grew up in.
POST SCRIPT: My first attempt at poetry(??:D) I am scared, am slowly turning a regionalist:D

P.S.
Ya left out our superstar,ultimatestar n all..lol..:D
@sam: thanks
@ neeraja: thanks:) yup chennai is beautiful ya i just realised i didn mention superstar shit!!
first attempt at poetry did u say? I think it's so heartfelt...poetry ain't about complex syntax and sentence structures..it's about being aware of who you are and your antecedents,and you are i must say so deeply entrenched and embedded that words flow with sincereity and honesty...keep it up! Being a poet needs senstivity,empathy and a fiery passion and you have all of these...
@Niharika: Thanks for ur honest reviews its reali supportive thanks:)
Impressive! :) Being away from chennai has let you explore your talents! :P
@Madhu: thanks:)
