Once upon a time in a land far far away,
was a village where twins Chinki and Minki used to play.
Chinki was smart, Chinki studied well.
Minki was brave, and Minki learned well.
Chinki is a genius her father used to say.
One day dacoits raided the village and tried to run with the loot.
They removed the guns and started to shoot.
The villages froze and started to shiver.
Cattles afraid, ran to the river.
But Minki acted smart and the dacoits had to scoot.
One day there was drought in the village,
dry spell destroyed the crops and foliage.
Chinki stood there watching like a fool.
Minki implemented irrigation as taught in school.
Thus she saved the day and her created a fresh tillage.
But at the year end her father scolded Minki and gifted Chinki a dress,
and why did he do that can you guess?
For Chinki came first in class.
while Minki managed to just pass.
He loved to see the paper and not the success.
P.s. I know its a bad attempt, but still a attempt. Tell me honestly what do you think.

@Neha
ReplyDeleteYup... the education system has failed completely, grownups have lied to the world...
Thanks for support..:D
I tried to write limericks...:D
how are youuuuuuuu? long time.. :) am back yes and i missed my poems too.. how have you been..this place looks different.. and hey nice fun stuff i got to read when i stopped by a couple of minutes ago..shall come back for more.. :) and yup! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Neha, at the end of the day for the years you are a student, your grades determine your level of intelligence and being a success or failure in life.
ReplyDeleteIt is a different kind of a poetic tale, but definitely a good attempt.
Keep up the good work Sid. I am enjoying the vast variety of articles you';ve been writing lately.
Cheers!!
You can try your skills in the ad world my friend. Success will kiss your feet.
ReplyDeleteP.S. - I felt like using some Siddhuism after reading your poem. Just wanted to say, it was good. Carry on.
:) It was a good attempt. Kind of cute too. Limerick's form is also very strictly followed and message is brought out nicely.Applause for that. I am very bad in writing poems with rules,so I guess it gives you thumbs up from my side.

Sure thing dear...take your time...:D see you soon...:D
@Chatterbox
ReplyDeleteThats the saddened education system we have. This little poem was written in form of Limericks, each para has one limerick.:)
The thing is, I wrote this after I talked with a girl who is under depression as her dad wants her to join software company...sad tale.
I always try to deliver variety...:D thats my rule number 1.
@Pramathesh
ReplyDeleteI was working in a ad agency bro... that is my option after 30..let me hope it happens.
Btw... how did u know about siddhuism??? its my blog of poems... did u explore my past?
it was a good attempt. and you are right in this world only marks is what matters and nothing else. sad we live in such world
ReplyDeleteHey Sid..
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post..n a great attempt..
The best part is the message that it highlights..Grades, Marks, Scores have become the parameters of measuring success..
This post definitely left me thinking..as to where we are heading by trying to compete in this rate race of achieving numbers n grades.
Great Job!!

ReplyDeleteThanks buddy...I tried...:D
Khoop chan...in the end, what matters is your marks :(
ReplyDeleteGood try with a message attached to it. Enjoyed reading it. Your new template is good.
ReplyDeleteThere is one error in the header. It should have been "There is a funny story in everything", i mean the " ^ " sign should have been after "There is a" rather than before 'a' i guess or is it a deliberate mistake.
