1. I am like a lotus leaf, Water can fall on me but cannot touch me like
Adversities can attack me but can never break my spirit
2. Our earth is not flat
But heck! It is hollow and nothing
And no one can deter me from changing
My mind on this; it is hollow that hides terrible secrets like secret of life, cavemen and all those things
That have disappeared from our world…
4. She lost her eyes in a freak accident years ago
Her family was inconsolable
But they need not have worried
For she saw the world with her ears
She heard and sifted the different sounds of the world
And her ears made her see who was who
And which was which…
5. Srivalli Ramana Raghavenda Chegu
Lived in the temple town of Kanchipuram
He woke up with the sun
And waited patiently out the famous Iyer’s idly shop
For how would the day bode well
Until you sat on the wooden benches
And drowned your Kanchipuram idlies in sambar
And gulped it down your gullet!
7. She was blind and helpless and adamant and gauche
Though her teacher taught her to use her other senses
She was adamant; she would use only the eyes that had no light, no hope…
