On the 70th birthday of uncle

Personal Poems, Poems for family
You nag me about the proportion in thayir saadam
Yet always remember my weakness for vadaam/khaman
You showed me paths when mine were unclear
Drove me all the way when the college bus disappeared

You lead with clarity, conviction and sight
Teaching me to value basics that anchor me right
Stay healthy, stay happy, forever stay young
I will always be your kutti girl no matter how far I have run.

Happy 70th!

Micro-poem as a birthday gift to mentor

Personal Poems, Poems for workplace
Personalized micro poem as a birthday wish to a corporate team leader/manager
Birthday wishes for a respected people leader at a multi-national company. He loves to listen to Ilayaraja's songs and watch cricket. He leads by example and is an excellent servant-leader.
To the Ilayaraja of our team's symphony
To the Ganguly as per youngster's testimony
To the mentor who always walks the talk
To the leader who elevates others to the top
Happy Birthday!
