Princess on Wheels: For Aparna

The Himalayan princess
Enjoys her recess
Amid orchids and flowers
Celebrates baby showers!

In spick-and-span Singapore
She mulls her rolling days afore
Violins in Vienna! Dances in Bolshoi !
This, after slogs, for our own Dhirubhai!

Pigeons in Venice, swimming in Greece
And then Moulin Rouge (where they fleece!)
Broadway's next, then perhaps a lion's trail
Onwards to Jerusalem, to the grand walls that wail!

Perhaps she shall find, in her itinerant way
A lil bit of time for Jammu and Bombay!
For home's like your feelings, buried beneath the body
The Inner Petrol that drives, life's long "gaadi"!
