Shalini, a name synonymous with courtesy and modesty
She, a true depiction of unassuming simplicity
Hasn't even been a year since l met
yet feel her radiating warmth every time
she is around.
Avneesh, the other name of Lord Ganesh
or earth's caretaker
With open doors he welcomes
be it new year's eve or Holi.
His eternal hospitality is what
we all vouch for.
Both wedded into a
harmonious blend of bliss and joy.
Privileged are those children
born to such beautiful parents,
blessed are those friends
who found their companionship
fortunate are we all to be a part of
this beautiful day of their lives.
A lovely pair who illuminated
all of our lives
his poems and affectionate smile,
her mouth sacking dishes and self
determination to be on her own.
Wonder what other treasures
will the intellectual duo
unravel on a sojourn
we passengers wish to travel
on their journey of a life time.
No wonder their lives are
so intertwined,
His name ending in
the same syllable to begin hers,
Avneeshalini.
