Sarojini Ma'am

For all those who loved Sarojin Ma'am's english classes and lessons in school (8th class onwards) - Addsion Barnaby and Maori villages and poems and Addison Barnaby the secret agent and the "Muddlehead"..

The man from Petushkee shouts "Kister Monductor" in the ears at office so many years later,
When I look out of the window, I see Lucy Gray waving her hands - guiding people lost in snow even in her demise,
When I travel, the train poem of Humayaun kabir changes tracks in my mind so many times,
The hot springs of Maori villages is what I wanted in the snow peaks of Tungnath,
and Did I stand with Addison Barnaby's murderer in the non existent Balcony?,
Did they share the seventeen oranges with "pips and peels" with me when I was hungry?,
Are we all Ozymandiases - chasing glory and stuck for aeons in sand and mud in half forgotten world?
When life scatters its arms and welcomes you from oblivion, do you sing like Nightingale of Oscar Wilde- with a thorn in the rose heart?

..Cheers to great teachers!!
