               Stopping by the woods one cloudy morning



I pass these woods everyday,
Always different from the previous day;
The green woods and the grey clouds
Make it pleasant and cool today! 

My mother should find it queer 
That  she is late, her daughter dear
Has she stopped for someone's sake,
between the woods and the kukkarhaLLi lake? 

She gives a ring to my mobile
Making me wonder for a while!
Should I avoid going to school,
and stretch under the trees so cool?

The woods are lovely dark and deep
But I have promises to keep;
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep!

                                                     APOLOGIES TO ROBERT  FROST


Two roads diverged in a green wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller; long I stood
Looking at both

One was much travelled and the other wanted wear
I was wise and took the former
Which took me to my home,  my haven
To finish the  chapattis in  my kitchen

The other one I kept for another day,
For I knew I would come back on a Sunday;
For today it makes a lot of sense; Hence

It makes all the difference.
