It shelters you from the searing heat
Protects you from the torrential rain
And when the weather is fine
And its lovely to walk
You push it to some damp dark corner
And forget all about it.
But there will come some day
When you will be out in a storm
And you would reach out for one
To find its no longer there
You had neglected it for far too long
And someone has taken it away.
So, take care of that umbrella.
Did that make any sense?

It makes sense, never let go of your umbrella or neglect it and it is impossible to change or forget it.
You can't buy them these old umbrellas hold on to them and make up for the time lost.
you come next to keats or shelly.
heck ... you are the best poet in the world. even better than our locality's tuku paagla.
ghetu: pls send me the link to that great man's blog.
alas! no one cares to record his brilliant poems. if you want to meet that brilliant person you have to come down to konnagar station. he is always available there in his rags.
one brilliant example of his poetic might:
whenever he dips a biscuit in his earthen tea-pot, he utters this brilliant line, "khankir chele biskut gele"
there are many more. you are not as talented as him, but you come next. trust me!
A few additional things about umbrellas -
1. Your umbrella turns inside out when you need it most.
2. No matter how pretty your umbrella is, someone else's umbrella always looks better.
3. An umbrella can come to good use even in dry weather - a sturdy umbrella on your arm is enough of a threat to most anybody.
4. An umbrella has a button, or sweet spot, which when pressed, really causes it to 'open up'
5. In the near future, all umbrellas will be 'made in china'
I dont use an umbrella. Neither do I read poetry. So this doesnt make sense in any ways
just came across that pseudo blog of yours. It is amazing, great and so true. It gives insights to real shuv.
makes...ermm...perfect sense!
