A tribute to excellence

 By Rajababu

Planet M was crowded with Cell phones and people;
Somebody at the jukebox, someone paying cash,
Some girls were admiring the soft toys,
Fresh from a Shubha Mudgal rendition of 'Rain'.
I glanced at the populace,. ....and saw her,
Elegant nose, jet-black hair, Indian looks,
With elegance and earthiness to match,

That intrinsic, genetic beauty,
I kept staring at her, .. she knew it,
She gave me occasional glances. I knew it.
For I was watching her intently,
She kept flitting in and around the place,
My eyes telescoped in on her every time,

Heaven knows who she was.. That ethnic girl,
Cast in an urban setting, capturing the essence,
Of excellence and perfection.
I paid for my CD's and books, she was standing there,
For want of a better excuse, I passed through the door.

 -A poem by Rajababu.
