Jhilmil Jhakaas (JJ)

One of my all time favorite poems...certainly the longest I've ever written...I wrote this when I was about to leave India to come here...this was part of my farewell "gift" to our group JJ...check it out!


Once upon a time, there were 12 different friends
Having different natures, having different trends
They had their fights, but then made their amends
'Cause they were all, held together by friendship bands

(Welcome to JJ...the loop begins...now)

Abhishek (Golcha) is the first one
And he has muscles, more than a ton
He is next year's North East terror boss
So you better be scared of him or else its your own loss!

Adhaar (Swaroop Agarwal) is the next to come
Always playing pranks or being troublesome
His PJ's (Parag Scale) are difficult to handle
Always wanting you to hit him with a sandal!

Ashish (Garg) is the next to bid - he's the "Big" kid
'Cause even till 9th, he drank milk from a bottle lid!
His nature is certainly very weird to chart
But it doesn't matter, since he's always good at heart

Our big CC, Manish (Agarwala) is next,
Always spending money on girls, or sending them text
Reaching his fart level is where everyone is to fail
And that's why we have our own "Manish Scale"!

Nitesh (Kumar Srivastava) is next on the list,
And he's got a temper which is always on the mist
He can easily rank on top of others and quit lagging
But that's only gonna happen when he quits fagging

Rahul (Saraf / Chintu) is the next one,
An excellent kid and a dream son (Nitesh's)
He's the one to look for when searching for fun
And this I say seriously, with no intended pun!

Rohit (Chawla / Gujju) is the one I highly rate
And this is so, because girls of his state, I find great!
If I write about your "khujli", I don't know about my fate
But you should mimic Tales Spin's Baloo and I mean it, mate!

Shantanu (Singh Chikara) is the kool guy
Passing around as an IEI executive, oh my!
He will tell you, about your mistakes
Although too many, For Goodness Sake!

Siddharth (Agarwala) is the one to deeply think
And this you can tell, even without a blink
The time he takes to get ready is even more than girls
Always cleansing his skin and combing his curls!

Sourabh (Sipani) is the 24X7 working chap,
One who's always got a book in his lap
He is the idiotic yet comical character
Who has no interest towards the "C" factor!

Vaibhav (Jalan) is the guy who's always on fire
Give him some ice and he'll give back more angry desire!
But I still hope, the "Chocolate Boy" reaches his N(a)as(h)a
'Cause that's when he'll fulfill his "aashaa"!

Lastly, Himanshu (Shringi), me, fills this JJ loop
Where I am the emotional part of this funky troop
But still a unique set of Parag's is what I hold
Although, to reach 10 Parag, it ain't enough to be brave and bold

(JJ loop ends here...Please go back to the start)

Now, I do heartily say that I will miss you all,
Regardless of how much I rise...or even if I fall
So always be prepared for my SMS or call
Although, as you know, I won't pay the toll!
