An Ode to Mr. Dirty (?)

Ahem, connotations in that one.

To someone who's as childish as he is mature
To someone fickle-minded and still quite sure
To someone with whom Dilli Haat's a tradition
To someone with whom talking's become convention?

To the eternities spent bickering about this and that
To the unhealthy phrases, like "You've become fat!"
To the concerned questions about study and more
To the way you're so determined to ensure :)

To the cleanliness names and 40-something pacts
To the way you sometimes distort the facts
To mind-numbing revelations and scandalous queries
To altogether skipping preliminaries!

And here's to all the paneer tikkas shared
A toast to the times that souls were bared
For the past that was, and what the future brings
New songs, and old wine, and half-gifted rings!

Happy Birthday, you. May you have the best yet :)
