Don't think twice, it's alright!

The verse 'Don't think twice, it's alright!' is from one of Bob Dylan's songs which has always managed to invoke in me an amused smile or a bemused shake of my head. The similarity between the song and this post ends with the title. While the song is about Bob dumping a babe in characteristic style, this post is about what's happening with me right now.

My life these days has become very interesting. I know I enjoy what I'm doing but I keep thinking where this'll lead me in the long run. I don't know if there is any definite answer to such a question. So i just wanna throw my thoughts out into a void right now and be happy with it. And yeah, it is a poem this time around (The things I do to keep a blog going!!!).


Wakey wakey 'tis now when the milkman knocks,
Ah, the idea of getting up does sound like bollocks;
But oh, I've crossed three cycles of snooze already,
So I drag myself out and say - Hey there mate, Howdy?
Did I get enough sleep or did I stay late last night?
Well, don't think twice, it's alright!

Office beckons and it's indeed a vibrant team that I work with,
Variety of mates - some funny, some focused, some blobby, some lithe;
For the lucky sake of Grand Merlin's beard or Lord Ganesh's belly,
I haven't yet taken them for granted, nor do I want to be that silly.
Is my boss a Tenali Raman with a hearty smile or a Forrest Gump with trousers tight?
Well, do not think twice, it's quite alright!

Slowly comes Chennai's dusk and with it some yearning for laziness,
Yet more appealing is the thought of working now to push yourself to weariness;
Finally, do I wrap up at night and move over to a half-asleep train's extreme,
And there is this feeling of lightness that many a times fills my bloodstream;
I guess I just feel light - that lightness special to a starter in life's limewire,
Who neither bears the burden of success nor the heaviness of failure.

But hey! Don't you think twice, it's alright!
