Once he arrives, he has
my complete attention!
Sometimes I shut my
eyes, smell & just feel…
Most of the times, I’m
staring at my fresh deal.
I feel blessed as he
shares all he has in store,
Sometimes he makes my
heart want more,
As he fills my world
with hope & cheer…
I just wanna be very
close to him, very near…
Courtesy |
At other times, what he
shares pains me,
Not his fault as
stranger than fiction is reality.
My love for him is famous
as I have shown,
I have indulged in
PDA* that is well-known!
Cozying up to him even
at office or parties!
Be targeted by family-members
as friends tease!
Some say we look cool
together, others have issues-
My private time with
him gives them the blues!
Time flies as my love
means a lot to me.
My cup of coffee is wow
with his company!
Words cannot express
what I feel for him,
If I am a mobile phone,
he’s my SIM!
When he doesn’t come,
life isn’t the same…
Today, I waited &
waited & he never came…
Later I realized that
yesterday being Republic Day,
My love, my newspaper, never
got printed for today!
Do you love him
(newspaper) as much as I do?
If he (newspaper) doesn’t
come, do you feel blue?
When he (newspaper) comes,
are you stuck like glue?
Is your love for him (newspaper)
so true?!!!
Please share your views!

Loved this one! Wish the poor thing could speak-maybe he(newspaper) would sing Bollywood style songs for you (his lady love)!:D
ReplyDeleteOoh! That'd be so romantic, Amrita! Should spice up the news :)
DeleteFeeling like a Page-3 celebrity! :)
But, my hubby would have a problem as even he loves the newspaper! Maybe the newspaper's gender changes for the opposite sex! Then, I have a problem! :)
Hahahaha! who would have thought it was the dear ol newspaper that you were referring to :P
ReplyDeleteYes Seeta! Took the writer's liberty & referred our dear newspaper as 'he'! Enough words to confuse! :)
DeleteAwie, i religiously read my two newspapers d moment i wale up....so i know wat u trying to say there
ReplyDeleteRitesh, That's great! Even you are seriously in love with the newspaper! Have to catch the first glimpse in the morning! :)
DeleteThat is a good one on news paper
ReplyDeleteThe problem is both of us at home are in love with it. :)
And that initiates a fight.
Thanks Indrani.
DeleteThat's Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki! Hubby & Wife fighting for the newspaper & also the TV-remote! :)
Haha.. you knw wat, till d end I was actualy thinking it was someone :P
ReplyDeleteGreat! Then I succeeded in my attempt to keep you clueless till the end! :)
DeleteHahah.. Yeah, the newspaper is something which makes me yearn for itself! A lovely post, love! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Preeti :)
DeleteYes, even I had the word 'yearn' in my mind for my Post. (Forgot to include it & now I remember seeing your comment!)
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.
ReplyDeleteI dont love him that much. The internet platform and online news has taken over him for me :(
Oh Red! Then, it's a love-story with the new news-makers- tech gadgets! :)
DeleteI ended my love story with newspaper very long ago...Familiarity breeds contempt you see.. I prefer the internet!!
ReplyDeleteP.S: I thought your husband works night shift and comes home early in the morning..hehehe...:P
Yes, Preethi, Technology has advanced a great deal with the Internet & digital newspapers now. But, still I love the smell, touch & feel of the real newspaper :)
DeleteThat was the whole idea...to let you have such idea :)
Hahaha, now coming to think of it I think the newspaper is my first love too :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot live without him and spend the first two hours of my day with him :D
We share the same love then! Nice to know, Soumya :)
Delete2 hours of exclusive time :)
Haha... It reminds a similar poem i wrote for my love - tea. Loved it, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so good! It's amazing when daily-life items like newspaper & tea have our dedicated poems :)
DeleteThanks Ashwini :) But, we do get up, close & personal with our newspaper :)
ReplyDeletehaha.. this is so awesome.. loved it with big smiles... :) :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Meera :)
DeleteReally, Anita? ;)
ReplyDeleteDo you feel this way too, Beloo?!
DeleteYeah cool! (y) Tricked us? :p :D
ReplyDeleteJust the gender change, Namrata :)
DeleteI thought it was for someone special! Until I reached the end! :P
ReplyDeleteSo much love for a non living thing :D
Newspaper is special for me, Aayesha!
DeleteI love the newspaper :D
I don't love him much as he's caught two-timing in my family with my mom and sis. :-P Both the ladies go mad and fight over him! Jokes apart, this one was quite witty and smart, very well penned. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe ending is too good. Very well written :)
ReplyDeleteI too await the arrival of the newspaper in the morning. Online newspapers can't give the same delight.
ReplyDeleteUsed to but been almost a year that I have stopped reading newspapers.
ReplyDeleteNice poem. I usually never been able to read complete poems, but this one was interesting. TY.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Anita:)
ReplyDeletevery well written, loved it.

ReplyDeletebeautifully woven.. :)
ReplyDeletesadly I am not one of those .. I hardly get time to read a newspaper .. I have not subscribed to any.
ReplyDeleteso i better not say anything :)
Bikram's
Nice job, Anita. Newspapers are something to love, irrespective of what kinds of news they bring. Once upon a time, I looked forward to the newspapers because I had have enough to talk about in class. Later on I looked forward to it to see what the sub editors had done to my stories. :D
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed your lines here. :)
Very true Anita!!!
ReplyDeleteLol..Republic Day is few days ahead Anita...Never mind if you miss the Nwspaper...Go to timesofindia.indiatimes.com for that daily dose..as TOI is full of gossip.. ;-)
